In fact, if Aditya had not already known what Ren looked like, he might have struggled to recognise the man standing at the front of the Emperor Faction.
Ren looked almost like a walking corpse. His usually well-maintained hair was completely untied, hanging messily around his shoulders. There were deep, dark circles beneath his eyes, making it appear as though he had not slept for several days. His eyes were also extremely red, and his face lacked even the slightest trace of emotion.
However, what shocked Aditya the most was not Ren's physical appearance.
It was his Mana. Ordinarily, every cultivator possessed a Mana signature that reflected their cultivation and the nature of their abilities. Even when cultivators deliberately concealed their strength, someone with powerful sensory abilities could often detect traces of their Mana.
