Haotian was indeed muttering to himself.
It was not just Haotian. Luohu and Duobao of the Western Sect were the same... After all, with Taiqing and Yuanshi making such a fuss, the Western Sect had immediately lost several pillars of support, and its strength had greatly diminished!
Luohu pondered for a while.
Although Cihang and the others followed Ran Deng and were not part of his side, they were still considered a Western Sect force. As a result... even the Western Sect's fortune had begun to decline.
