"Ying Er."
"You're awake." Bai Fengxi turned toward him and sighed in relief.
Xiu Ying, on the other hand, walked over to a stool, sat on it, and turned toward Haung Hao, whose eyes never left her.
"How did you end up in this state?"
Haung Hao frowned. "Hasn't Feng Lanxi told you?"
"He only mentioned that you two faced a calamity, but I want to understand the details from the beginning."
Haung Hao lowered his head. "I believe the opening of the Astra realm is part of the calamity's plan to kill as many people as possible. They hung three disciples on altars in the same dimension as us, using their blood for rituals." His voice cracked.
Having heard the end of three inner disciples with bright futures, Xiu Ying's eyes narrowed, while Bai Fengxi covered her lips.
Feng Lanxi lowered his head. He intended to refrain from saying that to avoid alarming the others, but Haung Hao's decision was different.
