Before the words had even fallen, the sky inexplicably turned incomparably gloomy. Though it was not so dark one could not see a hand before one's face, it was dim to the extreme, with cold winds rising on all sides.
Accompanying it were ethereal ghostly wails, mournful and shrill, though their exact direction could not be made out.

A moment later, another inexplicable thunderous crash entered their ears.

Lin Xuan was stunned. In that case, was he the one who had been struck like the fish in the moat
