Though he felt a chill all over, as if something was off somewhere...
Lou Jie still answered instinctively, "Yeah. Tonight, we went to Fragrance Inquiry House to gather information. We never expected the proprietor to suddenly take out a Light-Returning Mirror, and then we saw Grand Arbiter Sikong, he... Holy shit."
"Grand Arbiter Sikong, y-you-you..."
Only after rambling on for a long while did Lou Jie abruptly realize what was happening. Trembling all over, he pointed at Sikong Jing, his entire face drained white.
Thud...
At the same time, the three Arbiters who had just followed him through the door collapsed limply to the ground as well.
Then one of them suddenly scrambled up and dropped heavily to his knees. Shaking, he said to Sikong Jing, "Grand Arbiter Sikong, I've always been utterly loyal to you! Please, don't come to claim my life. We'll never dare again."
The moment those words came out, Lou Jie and the other two jolted violently. They all fell to their knees, begging frantically for mercy.
Clearly, they had mistaken Sikong Jing for a ghost.
After all, they had seen the Light-Returning Mirror at Fragrance Inquiry House with their own eyes. In it, Sikong Jing and the Armor-Splitting Flying Scorpion had flashed into the Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb, only for a Saint Martial strike to crash down afterward.
Under those circumstances, even a peak Emperor Realm expert would probably have been unable to withstand it and would have died.
Moreover, a Saint Martial attack would certainly carry a terrifying pressure that locked onto its target. Under such suppression, no one could escape.
The Light-Returning Mirror had ultimately shown an incomparably terrifying giant crater. The entire Willow Leaf Sacred Tomb had vanished, and even the Saint Martial Stage formation had disappeared. Who could possibly have survived?
