A sudden disturbance!
Sanqing, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others stood frozen in place, their expressions blank.
What did this brute Xuanyuan mean?
"Our Witch Clan has always been clear about gratitude and grudges!"
Xuanyuan wore a smile, but a hint of cunning gleamed in his eyes.
The others looked grim, silently cursing their luck.
They had thought that giving up the fight for the Thirty-Six-Petaled Creation Green Lotus would let them leave in peace. They never expected Xuanyuan to be so overbearing and difficult.
