"It's over!"
At that moment, Vimala Arhat's heart turned half-cold. His limbs and bones felt ice-cold, as though he had just staggered through an ice cavern.
He did not know Hongju.
That was only natural. Even within the Sacred Sect, aside from True Lords and the few people connected to Covered Lamp Fire, no one knew Hongju.

Flames surged from within his body without warning, burning through his organs and gushing from
