"What is going on?"
Seeing their own clansmen appear here one after another, every single one looking ashen-faced, as though their very souls had been drained dry— The representatives of the various clans who had been seated in the spectator stands above could no longer remain still. They flew down from the stands and rushed to their respective clansmen, quickly employing their own methods to treat their injuries.
However, amid the chaos of the various clans scrambling to help, the faces of the Linghu Heavenly Clan's members began to beam with unmistakable delight.
Because upon seeing these people, they had now confirmed that the Light Runes could indeed be seized.
And that, without question, was tremendous news for them.
"What on earth is happening?"
Dongguo Bingyu spoke up, questioning the members of the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
She had noticed their reaction, and she knew full well that the Linghu Heavenly Clan must know what had transpired.
"Calm down, everyone. They only had their Light Runes taken. They'll be fine."
Seeing how things were, the Linghu Heavenly Clan finally spoke up, explaining to everyone about the Light Runes.
After hearing the Linghu Heavenly Clan's explanation, the clan members from each group began questioning their own people.
At first, those who had been affected were too weak to answer. Only after their condition had improved somewhat did they reveal what had truly happened.
And the truth matched exactly what the Linghu Heavenly Clan had described.
Once this was confirmed, the clan members all felt terrible. They had thought that entering the Sacred Spirit Light Formation would allow them to gain at least some benefit.
Yet not only had they gained nothing, they had ended up suffering this ordeal.
Although they had not witnessed the process of their fellow clansmen having their Light Runes stripped away with their own eyes, seeing their current state of agony and weakness allowed them to imagine just how painful that process must have been.
"The Light Formation has always been this cruel. Forget about you people — even among us brothers and sisters of the Linghu Heavenly Clan, we sometimes seize each other's Light Runes in order to advance our cultivation."
"That is precisely why we originally prohibited you all from entering the Sacred Spirit Light Formation. It is a pity that you did not heed our warning."
A member of the Linghu Heavenly Clan spoke.
Those who were already feeling aggrieved in their hearts felt even more miserable upon hearing these words from the Linghu Heavenly Clan.
However, even if they were unwilling, there was nothing they could say.
Who told them to be too weak, possessing no strength whatsoever to confront the Linghu Heavenly Clan?
"Actually, the one who harmed you is not a member of my Linghu Heavenly Clan, but that Chu Feng. He was the one who insisted on bringing you all into the Sacred Spirit Light Formation."
"But he not only harmed you all; he also harmed himself."
