"Elders from various sects, look at this! This is the true face of the River of Styx Sanctuary. They clearly violated the Arena rules, yet they dare to make false accusations. How shameless!"
A Dark Palace disciple even began to rally other sects, attempting to tarnish Black Abyss' reputation. Not stopping there, he also targeted Gu Xiaoqi and Gu Simu.
"Brothers from the Abyssal Clan, look closely. One of these girls is a Human Clan cultivator, and the other seems to be from the Demon Clan. Neither is a native Underworld cultivator."
"Before this, there was no sign of them in the Mandala Arena!"
"These two girls are clearly outsiders, brought in by the River of Styx Sanctuary to deal with our young lord!"
The Dark Palace disciple's deliberate provocation struck a chord with many Abyssal Clan cultivators, who were already biased against outsiders. Many cast wary, hostile glances at Gu Xiaoqi and Gu Simu.
