He stepped forward. Though the Lapis Lazuli Buddha Light around him remained bright, it somehow seemed unstable and illusory. His voice was also filled with obvious indignation and dissatisfaction.
"Hmph! Immovable Wisdom King sacrificed himself while defending the dignity of our Buddhist Sect and exterminating evil demons. It was a heroic act!
