Lei Yunkui knelt on the ground, his face contorted with pain. Only after a long, long time did the agony ease slightly.
"Hah, hah..."
Lei Yunkui gasped for breath, his face filled with lingering fear.

Demonic qi swirled above it.

Lei Yunkui's expression darkened.
The Demon-Suppressing Pool was vast,
