In the sky, Huo Hai's figure vanished. Yet the people within the city continued staring upward. By now, the sky had gradually darkened, and throughout the entire city, no one did anything else.
With Huo Hai gone, Red Sparrow felt as though something had been torn from her heart. "Did I fail? As expected, I still underestimated him. The Vast Earth Empire was no match for him, nor was the Mad Dragon Mercenary Corps. When will I ever be able to take revenge?" A trace of sorrow flashed through Red Sparrow's eyes. As for Liu Tianheng beside her, his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, while his face gradually turned ashen.
As they continued gazing upward, more than half the night passed. After such a long time, everyone's emotions finally began to settle. "It seems the Insect Sovereign has spared us," a Spirit Emperor expert murmured to the others.
Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat better. Facing an enemy at the Spirit Emperor Realm, no one could possibly feel at ease. But soon afterward, their brows furrowed deeply. Without Mad Dragon, what would become of the Mad Dragon Mercenary Corps?
Especially those experts who had only recently joined the mercenary corps. With no one to keep them in check, other thoughts began stirring in their minds. "Everyone, a mercenary corps cannot be without a leader. Now that Lord Mad Dragon is dead, what should we do?" At last, someone raised the question. At his words, everyone's gazes began to flicker.
Naturally, everyone knew Mad Dragon was dead. They had all seen Huo Hai pursue him just now. Then there had been that familiar chill, along with the heavenly phenomenon. Since they were familiar with what happened after a Spirit Emperor died, they naturally understood what it meant.
