Chapter 751: Truth
It is a bit too early.
The moment Mo Xuan laid eyes on Li Pin, he couldn't help but think their encounter had come sooner than expected.
As the saying goes, "King does not meet King."[1]
Li Pin could hardly be called a true king, but within the Supreme Council, and to the eyes of the entire Human Race, he was the bridge between humanity and the Black Abyss Highlord. His role was vital in any future negotiations. If a critical situation arose, it would fall on him to persuade the Highlord to take humanity's side. That made him a valuable asset.
None of the other Highlords' direct disciples held such sway. At most, they could offer advice to their respective Highlords.
But Li Pin... had been personally entrusted with Sasha's authority by the Black Abyss Highlord. He definitely had influence.
In this context, it wasn't about Li Pin as a person. His position alone was enough to rival that of a Heavenly Emperor.
So when it came to Li Pin, the saying "A king does not meet another king" didn't seem out of place.
However, now that he was already here, there was no need to say anything more.
Mo Xuan deliberately suppressed the divine radiance emanating from him.
The light that once lit up the area, along with the spatial and temporal power it carried, quietly receded. He did so as a sign of respect for the young man in front of him, whom he had already acknowledged.
Li Pin greeted him, "Hall Master Mo Xuan."
