The icy surroundings were completely and utterly silent.

Patriarch Lan and the six elders immediately took notice of how Lu Lingzi had shifted the focus of his gaze. All of them were inwardly leery of this apprentice of a Grand Emperor. There was no doubt about it: Lu Lingzi was definitely the most spectacular chosen in the Devilbird holy land.

It was hard for most people to even grasp the depths of his scheming or the profundity of his thought process. Then there was the extremely mysterious devil-eye on his forehead. Not only did it allow him to have authority while only being a Smoldering God, but also, he could use it to unleash a terrifying magic.

In terms of cultivation base, he wasn’t the strongest of the Grand Emperor’s apprentices in the Lan Clan. But he was astonishing both in his aptitude and in his way of doing things. He also had a lot of powerful backers, and was even considered important by some of the most influential members of Devilbird high society.

Anyone who wanted to make a move against him would only do so with utmost caution. And doing something to him while he was in the holy land would be incredibly difficult.
