Some time passed...
Inside Abyss Star Hall.
Han Patrol Envoy, the Abyss Prince, the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor, the Chaos Demon Heavenly Emperor, and a host of other powerhouses were all present.
Black-and-red flames burned within the silent hall. Everyone remained quiet, waiting.
Yet as time passed, the news they awaited never came.
The atmosphere gradually grew oppressive.
Unable to help themselves, everyone turned their eyes toward the center.
Shadows concealed half of a golden-haired figure in golden robes. This was Han Patrol Envoy.
"Can you still contact them?" Han Patrol Envoy looked at the Abyss Prince and asked slowly.
"I've tried many times already. I can confirm that we've completely lost contact. The assassination... probably failed." The Abyss Prince kept his head lowered.
"How is that possible? With just those few people, how could they have resisted this ambush?" The Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor's eyes trembled.
At those words, whispers immediately rippled through the other powerhouses around them.
"This..."
"Could someone be helping him from the shadows?"
"Unlikely. There was clearly no one else around when our people struck."
"That shouldn't be possible... That Flame Venerable alone was more than enough to deal with his two backers. With another dozen suicide fighters under the Abyss Prince, he had no chance of surviving!"
"But the fact remains that the ambush failed."
The Weaving Delusion Heavenly Emperor and the others racked their brains, yet still could not understand how Li Tianming had broken out of this trap.
Surprise also appeared in the eyes of the Chaos Demon Heavenly Emperor, the Yin-Yang Empress, and the Myriad Swords Heavenly Emperor.
Assassinating Li Tianming's backers was a task Han Patrol Envoy had assigned to the Abyss Prince. For now, it had nothing to do with them.
Even so, they could not help feeling surprised
