A demigod?
Once they realized what Weilong had said, everyone in the room except for a handful of people drew a sharp breath in unison. The atmosphere seemed to lighten all at once.
This "Department of Punishment member" was a demigod? That was almost too elite!
Where had Apocalypse recruited such a powerhouse?
And no one had heard about him before. Had they deliberately kept it secret, or did even the people at Apocalypse not know?
All eyes immediately turned to Cas.
Yet the latter showed not the slightest hint of surprise. He wore a faint, knowing smile, as if everything were under control.
So they'd deliberately kept it secret?
The audience instantly began to speculate.
If this guy really was a demigod, then Weilong's description of what had happened earlier made a lot more sense.
A demigod and a fourth-tier Transcendent might seem only one step apart, but the gap between them was often beyond imagining.
No matter how talented Ian was, he could hardly have escaped unscathed from a surprise attack by an opponent like that.
"How is that possible?!"
It was obvious that the revelation had hit Ni Huayuan hard.
His disbelief was genuine, but the outburst was so perfectly timed that he sounded like a villain whose conspiracy had just fallen apart.
Li Weixuan, by contrast, seemed much calmer.
The Emissary Mask had some concealment properties, so even the demigods present hadn't all noticed anything unusual about Fu Qian. Professor Yang, who had been relatively active throughout, was one of them.
Li Weixuan hadn't taken that final step yet, but he had crossed paths with Fu Qian during the Ruan Shuo incident, when Fu Qian wasn't a demigod.
So the moment Fu Qian walked in, Li Weixuan had sensed that something about him had changed.
