In a courtyard behind the plaza, a white-haired old man had been sitting quietly when he suddenly received the news. Shocked, he swiftly rose to his feet and led his people toward the plaza.
He was the former clan head of the Undying Clan.
The Firmament Bow was a treasure of their Undying Clan. It was not something one could simply touch—not that it could not be touched, but that it must not be touched.
If an outsider forcibly tried to take the Firmament Bow, they would only meet death.
Although the former clan head did not wish to lend the Firmament Bow to Uchiha Shin, neither did he want Uchiha Shin to be harmed by it, much less die because of it.
After all, Uchiha Shin had been introduced by Lord Lao. He had to show Lord Lao some respect.
On the plaza, Uchiha Shin pressed both hands against the Firmament Bow, sensing the immense power within it.
At first, he had desperately wanted to pull his hands away. But after adapting for a while, he discovered that his power was gradually beginning to resonate with the power inside the Firmament Bow.
Little by little, Uchiha Shin entered a state of complete absorption. He could neither hear nor see nor sense anything around him.
Watching Uchiha Shin's condition from the side, Chen Qi was deeply puzzled. He called out to Uchiha Shin, but Uchiha Shin ignored him.
He wanted to step forward and shove Uchiha Shin away, but he held himself back. He could feel a strange power spreading across the platform.
Suddenly, Uchiha Shin snapped open his eyes, like a slumbering war god awakening.
Then everyone saw Uchiha Shin lift the Firmament Bow in his hand—with one hand, his left hand.
The crowd was stunned by the sight.
