The moment Elder Dong's right hand rested on Zhen Li, a look of terror appeared on Zhen Li's face, as if he'd just seen something horrifying.
At the same time, the crowd could clearly see the Scorching Commerce Fire Martial Soul above Zhen Li's head begin to flicker violently and unravel bit by bit—the telltale signs of a Martial Soul collapsing.
Across from him, Elder Dong wore a bewildered expression. He was clearly shocked and seemed to be attempting to do something, but the Scorching Commerce Fire above Zhen Li's head didn't stop collapsing.
In the recording, Zhen Li abruptly stood up, seemingly saying something in anger while his gaze toward Elder Dong was filled with horror and fear.
The recording came to an abrupt end there...
The hall fell silent.
Everyone was replaying the scene they had just witnessed, each of them inwardly stunned.
"Master Zhen Li, why don't you tell us what exactly happened," Qi Liming said with a cold snort.
