His feet touched the ground, and he let out a cold chuckle toward Dong Sheng.
With one hand hovering above the Book of Change, he began speaking: "Those upon whom my gaze falls shall perish..."
"Dong Sheng." Dong Sheng abruptly interrupted him, calling out his own name seemingly for no reason.
Sylvanus froze, startled by the interruption, and looked at Dong Sheng with surprise.
"I am Dong Sheng." Dong Sheng repeated with an inexplicable calm.
Sylvanus froze again, a strange sensation rising within him. At that moment, he realized that the words at the tip of his tongue were suddenly stuck and could not come out.
Dong Sheng said nothing else but continued to chant his name—again and again.
His gaze locked onto Sylvanus, unwavering. Not only that, but he even stepped forward, closing the distance between them.
