Holy Firmament Hall.
The brand-new decor of deep black and crimson had stained this once-bright hall with a measure of solemnity and gravity.
Dao Xuanji sat in the seat of honor.
She remained proud, as meticulous as ever.
Yet her appearance now was vastly different from before.
At the very least, the faint exhaustion and irritability between her brows could not be concealed no matter what.
At her side, only two members of the Ten-Person Council attended the emergency meeting: the Nine Sacrificial Divine Envoy, and Bei Bei, the newly appointed White Robes Executive Dao Ruler retrieved from the Four Symbols Secret Realm.
"At the time, I was still watching Senior Wei Feng's battle, learning Divine Mind Penetration on the Dao Hall Master's orders."
"Xu Xiaoshou was still with the Sealing-Heaven Saint Emperor then, when the latter suddenly suppressed Senior Wei Feng."
"Outside Blackwater Ravine, I watched the two of them flee through the entrance to the Godslayer Official Ruins. Just as I was about to challenge Xu Xiaoshou, the Sealing-Heaven Saint Emperor sealed me with another strike."
After speaking with an indignant expression, Bei Bei hopped back onto her tall chair. Her face was left with nothing but helplessness as she spread her hands and added, "There was absolutely no way to fight!"
"Fortunately, they were both sucked into the ruins."
She was not even a demi-saint. How could she possibly withstand a strike from Feng Yujin, the Sealing-Heaven Saint Emperor?
The battle's level had exceeded the limit by far! The Nine Sacrificial Divine Envoy, dressed in palace robes and existing as a translucent spirit body, looked over.
"So you are certain they both entered the Godslayer Official Ruins? The Sealing-Heaven Saint Emperor cannot return, and Xu Xiaoshou..."
She paused, a few traces of confusion appearing on her face.
