Wait, the situation seemed a little strange now...
West Queen Mother glanced at the Ji Family Holy Master, then at the Jiang Family Patriarch.
At the time, everyone on Shimmering Light Holy Land's side had been slaughtered clean, so even if the details within the small world leaked out, it could not have spread this quickly. At the very least, West Queen Mother was still unaware of them.
