As the Iron Sword Sect, the Danxia Sect, and the Ning'an Wang Clan declared their stances one after another, the very air seemed to freeze solid.
Countless gazes, sharp as arrows, shot toward the trio of Lu Qingsong, Bai Qing, and Wangqingshan.
Shock, confusion, anger, disbelief... all manner of emotions surged through the crowd.
But the one most shaken was none other than the Manor Master of Luoyun Manor, Lu Canghai.
His expression darkened visibly, and the last shred of composure in his eyes shattered completely.
Just moments ago, with the five major powers assembled and over ten Profound Mastery experts exerting their pressure, he had been brimming with confidence.
After all, faced with such a force, the Government Office had no choice but to back down.
If they chose to fight head-on, Ning'an would instantly descend into chaos, and the Government Office would be utterly incapable of suppressing the turmoil.
