Walker Of The Worlds

A few minutes after Jing Wei and Duan Ke left, the people in the room were finally able to relax and take control of themselves.

The Hei Corps could barely lift themselves up from the floor right now. They sat up from the kowtowing posture with the support of their arms and looked at the aftermath. They saw the rubble that was strewn around due to the collapse of the roof and the book shelves that were fallen as well. But in the end, their gazes settled on one of their comrades.

It was the same person who had reported about the abnormality and the same one who was also scolded by the lord. The person in question was currently stuck in the kowtowing posture. Unlike others who had lifted themselves, he was still stuck there.

One of the masked men dragged himself to the man who was still kowtowing and spoke,

"Hey! Are you fine?" He spoke.

Suddenly the lord, who was bowing all this time, plopped down onto his throne.

"It's no use. He's already dead." The Lord spoke with a tired tone.

"Wha… what?" Everyone uttered in unison.

The masked man who was near the kowtowing man shook him and saw him fall over onto the other side. The masked man who was kowtowing until now was bleeding from his eyes and mouth. His pupils had overturned into his skull and he was no longer breathing.

The veiled woman gasped and looked over to the lord and calculated her words before speaking.

"My Lord, were they?"

"I fear yes." The lord shortly spoke while rubbing the bridge of his nose.

The lord could already feel the headache coming. He hadn't thought that a routine mission would end up causing such a huge mess. He had lost one of his Core condensation realm cultivators and had also offended a hidden expert that was at the very least a Dao shell realm cultivator.

The other masked men were finally able to lift themselves off the ground. They stood up shakily and looked over to their lord.

"What was their cultivation?" One of the masked men asked.

The other masked men also joined in on the question as they were curious too. They did not understand the meaning of the interaction between their leader and their lord.

The Lord heard the question and sighed with dissatisfaction.
