Having finished speaking, Qing Yuan turned and left.
Yuan Rong followed close behind.
Bi Jing and Fakong exchanged a glance, then left as well.
Watching the four disappear into the distant sky, most of the countless rogue cultivators in Blood Radiance City and the many low-ranking disciples of the Divine Blood Sect let out long sighs of relief.
Most of the Mahayana-stage elders behind Song Wen, however, wore grim expressions.
"Qing Yuan has gone far too far!" Xuan Li said indignantly. "Sect Master, why not contact Supreme Elder Ying Wu and ask him to return as soon as possible? With two Tribulation Transcendence cultivators overseeing the sect, along with nearly twenty Mahayana-stage elders, we might not be able to defeat those three, but at least we wouldn't have to suffer humiliation like today, watching helplessly as Qing Yuan and the others flaunted their might outside our gates."
Song Wen frowned deeply, his expression thoughtful.
Deep down, he did not actually want to confront Qing Yuan and the other two head-on.
Qing Yuan and Bi Jing were formidable. Eliminating them would be no easy task.
