The sudden turn of events caught everyone present completely off guard.
Master Danyang, now free, didn't hesitate at all. He stepped onto a cloud of black mist and pounced at the three figures in the distance like a tiger descending the mountain.
Li Huowang, however, remained standing, watching it all unfold as if at a play.
He saw Yi Wan staring at him with disbelief in his eyes.
Li Huowang's face immediately filled with guilt; he slapped his hands together in frustration.
"Ah! Look at the mess I've made—how did I let Master Danyang escape while I wasn't paying attention? I'm just an inexperienced junior, I really apologize, please forgive me, Senior."
"You actually dared to deceive me!"
Hearing such words come from the other's mouth, Li Huowang let out a snort of laughter.
"Now I kind of get why you people from the Sitting Oblivion Path enjoy this so much—it really is fun messing with people! Hahaha!"
