Many people mourned silently for Yang Chen.
Most crucially, Great Wood Heavenly Venerate had actually ignored the rules and attacked Yang Chen the moment he stepped forward. No one had expected such a move.
After all, even if everyone knew that Great Wood Heavenly Venerate had a grudge against Yang Chen, he should not have attacked Yang Chen so openly and brazenly!
Yet Great Wood Heavenly Venerate really dared to do it.
It was something even Yang Chen had not expected.
His situation instantly became stiff and difficult to handle.
Yang Chen knew very well that he had to make a choice!
If he refused to give up, would he not simply die?
He had to give up and enter the spatial turbulence. Though that outcome was extremely terrible, it was still better than being killed by Great Wood Heavenly Venerate.
Yang Chen could only grit his teeth and, in the end, was forced to give up.
Then, he was swept away by the spatial turbulence, vanishing from where he stood as he was blasted out of the spatial passage!
Great Wood Heavenly Venerate's attack also struck empty air, making him curse his bad luck inwardly. He had failed to crush Yang Chen to death with a single palm!
Once the scene ended, the spatial wall rapidly repaired itself!
Yang Chen had completely vanished. Everyone drew in a cold breath. Though many felt that Yang Chen had been treated unfairly, not one of them dared to speak up at this moment.
When it came to this matter, wisdom meant protecting oneself.
If Yang Chen had not died, they might have been angry enough to lend him a hand. But Yang Chen was already dead; how could they help him now? It was not worth standing up for a dead man.
