Unnoticed, as Cen Dongsheng approached, the people who had been rowdy and noisy all fell silent.
A few onlookers nearby broke out in cold sweat, like prey targeted by predators; yet they felt puzzled by their own reactions, looking around in confusion.
Among those present, only Cen Dongsheng was unaffected by this aura and recognized the origins of the other party.
The deathly aura that invades flesh and corrodes the marrow was unabashedly rising skyward.
A man cloaked in black appeared from the corner, slowly walking towards them.
Cen Dongsheng sighed and said to him:
"What a coincidence, didn't expect us to meet again so soon, and in a place like this."
"A chance encounter."
Wan Dugu said succinctly.
As for the crew behind Cen Dongsheng dispatched to handle the stowaways, they were already close to fainting from fear. Why was this person on the lower deck? He had no mood to ponder the reason, only how to report afterward, and... whether he would live to make the report.
