Hu Sijin stood at the center of the domain, her vacant gaze fixed on the underwater palaces. Her eyes, though calm, seemed to pierce through the layers of water, as if she could see beyond this world. Her stillness and the absence of emotion on her face heightened the oppressive atmosphere that hung over the place.
Despite being underwater, her clothes remained perfectly dry. Her black robe possessed a unique property, creating a void around her, as if she floated between the sky and the sea. Not a single drop touched the fabric, and she seemed to move in a world of her own, detached from natural laws.
Around her, a military formation had deployed. Dozens of Holy Sage-ranked guards encircled the Matriarch, all ready to sacrifice themselves at the slightest threat. The alarm had been raised the moment she appeared. An Immortal had moved in person, and it was certainly not for a courtesy visit.
