Dong Jinhuan, An Mia'er, and Lin Feiyan entered the tent. After merely glancing at Niu Youdao, they immediately lowered their heads.
They did not dare look Niu Youdao in the eye, their hearts filled with fear and regret.
Back when they had been low-ranking disciples, there had been many things they did not know, things the upper ranks of their sects would not tell them.
Now, because of what had happened in the Tiandu Secret Realm, they had learned certain things even as they were harshly rebuked. They learned that Niu Youdao had killed Xiaoyao Palace Elder Guo Qingkong and his group, that he had stood firm against the three major sects and provoked war, and most recently, that he had brought down Tong Mo.
After learning so much, they finally understood deeply that this Daoist Master before them was far more powerful than they had imagined.
The three women also realized that the likes of Zhao Dengxuan probably carried no weight at all. Even if Niu Youdao killed them without giving Zhao Dengxuan and the others any face, it would likely not stir even a ripple. The three major sects would never do anything to Niu Youdao for their sake.
The thought they once had—that attaching themselves to disciples of major sects would somehow make them important—now seemed utterly laughable.
The three truly regretted it. Their intestines had turned green with remorse. They knew what they had missed out on.
"Kneel!" Fei Changliu suddenly shouted.
Dong Jinhuan shuddered in fright and dropped to her knees with a thud. An Mia'er and Lin Feiyan instinctively knelt as well, all three kneeling before Niu Youdao.
Guan Fangyi looked on coldly from the side. She found these three women thoroughly displeasing and felt the urge to slaughter them with her own hands.
