On the Tournament Stage, Shangguan Aotian swept his gaze over the East Shore disciples, a trace of mockery flashing in his eyes, then turned and walked off.
At that moment, the Gu Insects also left the East Shore Core Disciple's body and retreated into his sleeves.
Murong Tianyi and Fang Yiqian exchanged a glance, each seeming to see the gravity in the other's eyes.
