The bewitching beauty clenched her teeth.
Frustration burned inside her heart. She lowered her head slightly, hiding the ugly look that had briefly appeared on her face.
Everything had been going according to plan.
The Purple River Sect had already been cornered. Their Lord had almost lost the will to fight. Victory had been only moments away.
Then this mysterious King appeared out of nowhere and overturned everything.
She could not understand it.
More importantly...
She did not dare challenge it.
Taking a slow breath, she calmed herself.
Her mind quickly regained its usual sharpness.
Without changing her expression, she sent a secret voice transmission to every surviving member of the royal faction.
'Nobody moves. Do not retreat. Do not even circulate your Spirit essence unless necessary. If anyone disobeys, I will personally execute them.'
The order spread through everyone's minds. The already frightened cultivators stiffened. Not a single person dared move.
