One hour later, as the protective array of Sky Fiend Hall collapsed, the sky was aglow with flickering lights, and hundreds of Righteous Blood Sect cultivators marched straight in, storming the headquarters of Sky Fiend Hall.

Within the headquarters, the remaining hundred or so Sky Fiend Hall cultivators had already retreated to the Nine Provinces under the leadership of Cheng Bo, knowing that his prospects were bleak if he stayed, he dared not linger and await death.
