Lü Hong. Of the several Major Cultivators coveting Jinyun Valley, he was the most powerful.
His strength could even be directly compared to Ye Jingzhou's.
Rong Zhongxuan had fought him before and hadn't lasted three moves. In fact, it was precisely because of that defeat that he had come to win over Chen Che. Now, seeing Lü Hong face-to-face and recalling his strength, Rong Zhongxuan's expression changed dramatically, and he subconsciously took several steps back.
Seeing him retreat, a flicker of disdain appeared in Lü Hong's eyes as he turned to Chen Che.
"Tributor Chen?"
"That's me."
Chen Che gave a slight nod.
"Just as the rumors say—young and full of promise!" With his hands clasped behind his back, Lü Hong exuded an oppressive aura. He sized Chen Che up and chuckled. "You've likely guessed why I'm here."
"I have."
'He had long expected this day.'
