The wizard's true face, never before revealed, was exposed to the air, and that half of his face, covered in snake scales, was hideous and terrifying.
The wealthy households, seeing the wizard's appearance, were so frightened that they fell to the ground, almost fainting again.
They had never seen someone with snake scales on their face, but they had heard of it.
Anyone who betrayed Witch Ancestor Mountain would be cursed with snake scales growing on their face.
One must stay away from such people, otherwise, they would be seen by Witch Ancestor Mountain as harboring traitors.
The crowds never imagined that the wizard who came to save people was actually a traitor from Witch Ancestor Mountain.
Those who had been speaking up for him, intending to help the wizard, instantly sprang away.
For a while, no one dared to come forward.
