Chapter 108
“General Fuhai, Lord Di Han— it has been a while,” Di Han greeted them with a warm smile.
His appearance didn’t garner much of a reaction from the Grahas, but they all recognized him. A Nether turned Graha, his name and talent were widely known, just like all those similar to him. Yet, they were not impressed. He was part of the handful from the Upper World who were sent down here along with the first princess to aid in the task of taking over the Mortal Desolate World, as well as to find the predecessor’s legacy— to which he had failed both. Thus, they had no respect to give him, only their disdain instead. On the other hand, members of the Nether race looked at him with slight envy. Ignoring his failure, becoming a Graha was many of their wishes.
Fuhai was likewise indifferent, “Di Wentian? So you’re still alive. Where is the first princess?”
“I do not know,” Di Wentian shook his head. Though he felt their unhappiness, a smile still played on his lips.
He explained, “When the Chaos Tunnels were sealed with the Three Tongue Gist, we were all trapped here. To avoid being hunted, we decided to go our separate ways for a chance at survival. I have not seen the first princess since, and have been only waiting for your return.”
“…”
Fuhai quietly listened, barely registering his words as he inspected this man before him. He had a strange feeling. Having spent so much of his life on the battlefield and fighting, his experience told him Di Wentian was dangerous, but he wasn’t sure why.
This Di Wentian was the top genius of the Nether race and belonged to the same generation as the first princess. Back then, he was trailing behind her by a considerable amount, so why is it now I’m getting a hint of dread from him?
If Fuhai was in the Upper World, then naturally, he had nothing to fear. However, it was as Hong Tian once said— here, in the Lower World, everyone was on an even playing field. Death was entirely possible, even for someone like him.
