Huang Xiao and Huo Lian froze.
Huang Xiao, in particular, had wanted to try persuading the Immortal Alchemist again, but who could have expected that the Immortal Alchemist would give him no further chance?
He had taken his own life to keep his Longevity True Qi from falling into Jiang Hengdao's hands.
They knew that when the Immortal Alchemist had told them to stop using Heavenly Demon Disintegration, he had probably already severed his own meridians.
