"Wenxu, what has happened here?" Ji Yu's expression was extremely grave; he had always taken great pride in this outstanding apprentice of his over the years.
He had never questioned Xia Wenxu with such a serious tone before.
Xia Wenxu was not particularly surprised by his master's anger.
Early this morning, he was also somewhat astonished upon learning of Tian Quezi's disappearance and the forced halt of the Martial Saint contest.
Although he had long been aware of the strange poison in Yun Bahe's system, he had not anticipated that it would result in a withdrawal from the Hou Qin side.
After all, Yun Bahe was known for his resolve not to back down until death; even if he knew he was no match for Tian Quezi, he would never give up.
Inflexibility leads to breakage; this was Yun Bahe's greatest taboo in this blood-soaked disaster.
Xia Wenxu had also divined for Tian Quezi; the divination revealed a "Riddle Hexagram," which was neither a death hexagram nor not a death hexagram.
