The two disciples of the Great Saint were internally seething with hatred, yet they maintained their composure. On the surface, they were unruffled because all those other beings were quietly observing their reactions.
The Great Saint's decree was for them to act covertly. The two disciples dared not disobey, so naturally, they couldn't show any sign of dissatisfaction.
This caused the crowd of beings to let out a collective, silent sigh of relief while also feeling quite smug.
There's safety in numbers, after all.
Those who had spoken up earlier were particularly pleased, mentally patting themselves on the back for their cleverness. Unfortunately for them, they didn't know that they had already been marked by the two disciples.
Only Ning Xuan observed coldly from the sidelines, his mind as clear as a mirror and filled with delight.
My reckless words actually led to this outcome. This is a huge win!
