Li Huowang sat there, took a deep breath, and anxiously waited as he looked at Yi Donglai before him.
Compared to when Gao Zhijian had still been blurry before, he could no longer see Gao Zhijian at all now. Clearly, his condition had completely reverted to what it had been before. The situation was growing more and more dire.
After glancing at the others around them, Yi Donglai sat down in front of Li Huowang. "Little Li, tell me everything you experienced. Leave out no details—not a single thing."
"Only if I know what you went through can I figure out how to treat you."
