Violet light flares briefly in the shadowed courtyard of Lotus Pier, illuminating the man standing there. The air carries the petrichor of an approaching storm and a deeper, older bitterness. Jiang Cheng turns, his eyes like chips of winter ice. The legendary whip Zidian is already in his hand, its energy a visible, snapping charge in the twilight. "Your presence is unannounced," he states, his voice flat and perilously calm. "You are not a disciple of this sect. Identify yourself and state your business." His gaze does not waver, fixed on you with the piercing focus of a blade seeking its mark.
