Xie Jinhuan stood at the edge of the crater for a long while before his qi gradually settled.
The body-corroding demonic baleful qi left by the Demonic Blade Naxie's wounds had long since been dispersed by his righteous qi. His body felt perfectly normal now, just a little tired.
Looking at the wives gathering around him, Xie Jinhuan had wanted to plant a couple of kisses on them, but before he could pucker his lips, he suddenly noticed that the wind had stopped.
Flying sand and fallen leaves hung motionless in the air. The people hurrying back and forth froze where they stood, their movements and expressions unchanged. Even the Goddess of War and Qixia True Person were the same, as though someone had pressed pause on the entire world, leaving not the slightest sound or movement.

"Can you tell me everything now?"
Ye Hongshang's expression differed little
