Guo Mei and the other five elders all looked tense as they faced Yang Qing. Because they were in such close proximity to him, they could distinctly feel his overwhelming presence, more so the white flames.
Even the flames were contained on the bamboo Yang Qing was holding and in his eyes, each one of them felt those flames were capable of incinerating the skies, the ground, the rivers and oceans out of existence within an instant.
They felt their skin and their innards being boiled just from being in close proximity to him, in addition the flame seemed to have a suppressive effect to their yin based attributes and even an extreme purifying effect.
They could finally understand why their sect master seem to have a hard time healing her current wounds even though they were not deep.
