Every one of the people they had once captured looked at Qian Xin with hatred in their eyes.
Only then did Qian Xin begin to panic. What puzzled him even more was why, after all this time, reinforcements from the Water Moon School still had not arrived.
And there was Su Jiu, hovering in midair without the aid of any magic treasure. She was clearly only at the Nascent Soul middle stage, so why did she exude such an overwhelming sense of pressure?
Confusion and incomprehension filled Qian Xin's eyes.
