"He… He was really struck by lightning!"
The person who first broke the silence in the room was Elder Du, one of the elders from another sect who had been invited by Taoist Qingxuan. His aged voice was clearly trembling as he spoke.
Another sect's elder, Elder Ma, also stammered, "This… This is karma! A martial artist's oath could actually incur the wrath of the heavens!"
"That's not possible! It's impossible!"
Taoist Qingxuan's eyes widened in shock, but he was unwilling to believe that what happened just then was real.
Tang Zheng had a solemn look on his face. After staring at Taoist Qingxuan for a long while, he got up and went to check on Yuan Luo himself.
Tang Zheng channeled his internal energy into Yuan Luo's body and carefully checked Yuan Luo's condition with a serious expression.
"It's just a superficial wound, but a small crack appeared in his dantian from the powerful lightning."
