After Lou Yunxiao became a Demon God, he repeatedly lost control of his emotions, throwing the spiritual energy of the surrounding world into turmoil.
Though it was the depths of winter, torrential rain fell. The bitter cold froze it into fine strands of ice in midair, which struck people's bodies and melted from their warmth, cold and painfully sharp.
The cultivators had followed Lou Yunxiao here.
Now they wanted to approach, but Hong Yao and Wugou blocked their way.
Hong Yao pressed her lips together, her expression grim as well.
Guilt filled her heart.
She had also heard what Nan Lou said before his death.
Though Nan Lou had his own selfish reasons for deliberately provoking Lou Yunxiao, some of his words were not wrong.
Every one of them owed Ning Ke an apology.
Thinking it over, Hong Yao knew all too well that they had judged Ning Ke by appearances and misunderstood him precisely because he was the strongest person on the Qianyuan Continent.
They, members of the Human Clan, feared Ning Ke's power. That was why they had not even investigated the truth, choosing only to believe that Ning Ke was guilty and that they had to join forces against him.
Because as long as Ning Ke died... they would never again have to worry that he might lead the Demon Clan in a campaign against the Human Clan.
This was... the strongman guilt theory.
Fear drove them to hate this powerful man who was not of their own race.
Gao Ze had told them so many times to wait until he discovered the truth behind the Flowing Cloud Sect Massacre in the Extradimensional Space that had swallowed the Flowing Cloud Sect before passing judgment on Ning Ke's actions.
Yet she...
She had joined forces with Lou Yunxiao
