"Red Crane, how dare you!"
Dangyun roared in fury. A greatsword condensed in his hand as a powerful aura erupted, and he prepared to strike.
No one had expected Red Crane to dare attack directly.
Not only him—Xuan Qing, Fu Ye, Han Shan, and the others all shouted in unison, erupting with their auras as they prepared to intervene.
They knew Fang Mo's earlier condition. It definitely had not been an act: his qi and blood had been depleted to the point of withering, and the power of the Void Insight Realm was nearly exhausted. There was absolutely no way to fake that.
"You'd all do well not to interfere!"
Yingshan shouted. The mighty pressure of a Heavenly Venerate's will descended, while the Heavenly Venerates behind him simultaneously stepped forward. Their Heavenly Venerate wills shrouded Dangyun and the others, blocking them.
Yet that one obstruction, though it might have lasted no more than a breath, prevented the Tianli Sect from coming to Fang Mo's aid. Even if they erupted now, it was already too late.
"Should we make a move?"
The old man beside Zi Yue sent a transmission through his Primordial Spirit.
Zi Yue transmitted back, "Let's watch first. I also want to see whether Fang Mo is truly putting on an act!"
Lie Jiuyou and Jian Buxu were also staring intently. They too wanted to see what Fang Mo's true condition was!
"Red Crane, you shameless bastard!"
Lie Yan roared, stepping forward as he prepared to act.
But a pressure instantly pinned him down. Behind Hongzun Heavenly Venerate of the Heavenly Wolf Clan emerged a white Heavenly Wolf, its gaze fixed upon Lie Yan.
"Lie Yan, if you dare interfere, I'll wipe out your Fire Cloud Sect!"
Hongzun Heavenly Venerate's aged, icy voice rang in Lie Yan's ears.
