Yun Xiao remained unemotional, offering respectful words as protocol demanded, acknowledging her presence with mere formality.
The Saintess Yao Xi also acted with fitting grace, greeting Yun Xiao with a slight smile.
At that moment, Yue Yin introduced Yun Xiao to the position on the left of Empress Zhao, occupied by a tall woman standing nearly seven feet tall, overshadowing Yun Xiao by more than a foot, her presence formidable and commanding.
She was clad in a golden suit of armor that covered her entirely, leaving only her fingers and a pair of dark golden eyes visible, her gaze domineering, the most unsettling in the entire hall.
“This is one of the Eight Great Sovereigns of the Celestial Court, the only female hero among them, the master of the Combat Division, the Combat Sovereign,” Yue Yin introduced with respect, though her eyes dared not meet the Combat Sovereign's. For this female tyrant was truly fierce.
The Moon Sword Goddess was merely a favored figure in Empress Zhao’s Kunlun Palace, but the Combat Sovereign was Empress Zhao’s right-hand woman, a supremely influential figure.
"I pay respects to the Combat Sovereign," Yun Xiao said.
