On the barren field, the Qing Ming House's Supreme Headmaster had a look of shock as he regretfully collapsed to the ground.
Dead.
Killed by Ling Xian with a sword.
Everyone's expression changed to surprised and then, their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably as well.
To any force, the Supreme Headmaster isn't just a symbol for power, it's also a reflection of the force's capabilities. Therefore, when a force's leader dies, the impact it creates to the force is powerful and difficult to imagine.
Using the current situation for example, the moment the Supreme Headmaster collapsed, all the people from the House felt themselves falling to the deep abyss. Only one thought passed through everyone's head.
Finished.
The Qing Ming House is finished.
The Supreme Headmaster had died, which means the war is near its end and that what will happen next is predictable.
Thus, why wouldn't everyone feel scared?
