Two Familiar Faces (Part 1)

After examining his stats, Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction.

Although he was still some distance away from his goal of reaching the 7,000-year mark before the apocalypse, it seemed feasible now.

Furthermore, he knew that he was capable of defeating most of the terrestrial demon emperors in the Red Empire now, except for those who had surpassed the 7,000-year mark. 

Below that level, he was likely almost invincible!

Thinking this, Wang Mang happily left the cave.

As he had been away for over a month, Wang Mang felt that it was about time to return to his cave and territory to take a look. 

Given his current speed, it would not take very long to cover the distance anyway. After checking the map, Wang Mang transformed into his massive form and soared into the clouds, hurrying home.

As night had fallen, he did not really have to worry about being spotted, and flew quickly under the cover of darkness.
