Hou Dian and Ju Yin were utterly incredulous at the scene they had just witnessed. Lu Dan, their old friend, a powerful cultivator mastering the Full Moon technique, died in a tragic way.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Ju Yin exclaimed, his voice tinged with disbelief.

Hou Dian also appeared to have difficulty believing this. Truly, there was a power that could raise the dead.

"So, this is your power? You can raise the dead to serve you? Such abilities are taboo, yet here you stand, the young scion of the ancient Long family, wielding them," he remarked, his eyes narrowing.
