"I have seen the Empress." King Qingyang bowed deeply in respect.
He had set off for the Land of Longevity after Ji Huaxi's ascension to the throne, and before his departure, Ji Huaxi had already been one of the strongest in the Imperial realm.
Back then, though King Qingyang was one stage lower in realm, he could sense the gap between them, and he also saw the possibility of catching up. However, after reaping considerable benefits in the Land of Longevity for two hundred years and upon his return, he found that the gap between himself and Ji Huaxi, both Realm Masters, had widened even further.
Unable to even perceive the opponent's realm now, such a thing happening to Su Heng would be of no concern, as he was accustomed to it... but now, coupled with the somewhat mocking smiles on both Ji Huaxi's and Su Heng's faces, King Qingyang suddenly had an ominous feeling.
With caution, he inquired, "I am unaware of Your Majesty's intentions. May you please clarify."
