Summary
He's tall, slender, donned in all dark, fitted clothes, with long hair held in a high ponytail, long strands brushing his back. The air leaves Xie Lian's lungs in a punch and he doesn't feel any filling them back.
The man stands composed and almost foreign in the middle of the heckling vendors and loud clients, a lonely, tense figure amidst the vibrant mixture of colors and shapes of Ghost City's main street. Xie Lian stares at him with tears already stinging in his eyes, Hua Cheng's body deathly still behind him.
It's a mere second before he starts running towards him.
or: after the meeting at the Gambler's Den Xie Lian sees a man with a white mask and black clothes standing in the main street of Ghost City and mistakes him for Wuming. (Of course everyone is very chill about it.)

Summary
The silvery glint of a blade was all Xie Lian saw before the unmistakable cold bite of metal pressed against his throat. Not again, he thought, slowly turning towards the hilt and the pale hand holding it. As he moved, the blade shifted almost imperceptibly, easing its vice just a breath as if allowing him to turn without cutting through flesh.
The tinge of surprise he felt was quickly replaced by a rush of stupor when he lay eyes on the man who held the weapon tight in his grip. The Ghost King’s appearance truly was as formidable as they said.
Or
The opening of Mount Tong'lu leaves powerful ghosts incapacitated for months before and after the Arousal of Ghosts. The mount has opened and closed, Xie Lian has ascended, discovered Jun Wu's lies and defeated him but Hua Cheng has yet to meet his god again.
Now serving as the new Heavenly Emperor Xie Lian finds himself at the gates of Ghost City on a mission to defeat the weakened Calamity.
When confronted with the unexpected reasons behind the attack Hua Cheng's faith wavers for the first time in centuries and his undying devotion clashes with an undeniable, guilty sense of betrayal.
