In the Government Office Hall of the Jingwu Bureau's G Camp.
Chen Sheng sat enthroned in the main seat. Fresh from seclusion, his aura had grown even more profound. A faint Evil Qi circulated around him, yet it was cleverly contained within his body. Only someone with exceptionally keen perception could ever hope to detect his true Cultivation.
His confidants, Zhao Changqiu, Lu Cheng, and Xu Shenzhi, stood in respectful silence, flanking him on either side.
"Congratulations on your recovery and emergence from seclusion, my lord."
The men greeted him in unison, their voices echoing through the hall.
Before entering seclusion, Chen Sheng had not told them he was attempting a breakthrough by Condensing Evil. Instead, he'd used the excuse of recuperating from injuries sustained in the battle with the Iron Sword Sect. As such, they did not know the true reason for his retreat.
They still believed Chen Sheng had been recuperating.
