"Impossible! The Great Sun World Lord is a highly respected elder on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, and Phoenix Immeasurable is the Divine Phoenix Emperor. How could they team up to bully a young girl?"
"I think it's pretty strange too."
"Strange my foot! Just two old bastards!"
The crowd buzzed with discussions—some voiced disbelief, while others cursed incessantly.
"Old scoundrel, you've made quite a name for yourself. How disappointing it is to see you ruin your reputation in your twilight years for the sake of a single disciple."
Ling Xiao shot a faint glance at the Great Sun World Lord and said, "Do you still refuse to admit that you used illusion techniques to control Fengming Lian?"
"Hmph!"
The Great Sun World Lord snorted coldly, offering no explanation, which was tantamount to admitting it.
He couldn't explain even if he wanted to.
The truth was plain to see—trying to clarify would only further condemn him.
After all, the martial artists present weren't fools.
