The sacrificial altar exploded.
With Chang Wuji's death, outside the Land of Nihility, in a Daoist Temple, two disciples in Daoist robes were guarding an array. In the array, there was a Seven-star lamp, and as the lamp extinguished, both felt a heart-wrenching pain, collapsing to the ground, staring blankly at the god statue above them, consciousness dissipating, dying with eyes open.
Wisps of smoke hovered, obscuring the god statue, making it seem both real and illusionary.
On the other side, a person dressed in a water satin robe looked at a shattered human figure on the ground, nudging it with the tip of their shoe, letting out a light laugh: "Interesting."
The laughter was cold as a snake.
In the Land of Nihility, Qin Liuxi shielded Teng Zhao beneath her. Once the enormous upheaval dissipated, she stood up and turned to look.
This side of the sacrificial altar had already been blown to bits, and that giant bell had also shattered into many pieces.
