"What happened?"
Expressions of astonishment rose on the faces of all four almost simultaneously.
The strange killing rule that had always been unstoppable—
had actually vanished?
A scene they had never heard of or witnessed before had unfolded before them,
leaving them unable to react for a moment.
However,
Yang Qingyun had neither the time nor the energy to explain it to them.
