"Boom!"
Behind the Main Hall of the Dark Divine Hall, within the Elder Council, a powerful aura erupted and pressed outward in all directions.
"Whoosh!"
But this aura did not last long before another aura forced it down, after which it dispersed.
The people around them merely glanced at the appearance of both auras before paying them no further attention.
Clearly, everyone present, including Ying Xue, had long since grown accustomed to arguments like this between the two of them and did not find it particularly strange.
After all, ever since the Hall Master had announced that the plan to invade the Other Shore Sea of Blood had failed, the two of them had already quarreled several times.
What puzzled everyone was that these two normally had an exceedingly close relationship.
Why had they now chosen to turn against each other outright in order to defend Ying Xue, the Hall Master?
Although their clash had not truly erupted into a full-scale battle, they had already been at daggers drawn for quite some time.
Yet Ying Xue seemed to have some other motive. He actually allowed the two of them to make a scene here without coming forward to stop them.
The few elders who had previously defended Ying Xue, however, wore rather unpleasant expressions.
Although they did not know Ying Kuo and Ying Jie's true objectives,
they knew very well that the reason the two were acting this way was very likely because they were targeting Ying Xue.
It was just that their purpose had not yet been exposed, so the others did not dare to intervene recklessly.
"Ying Kuo, you've gone too far. How dare you act so presumptuously in front of the Hall Master?"
"Are you ignoring the Hall Master, or are you ignoring all of us elders?"
