A student who was participating in the competition, looking very pale with blood all drained from his face, said, "Someone is devouring our Immense Righteous Energy. If we didn't attack, the speed of loss slowed down. The moment we utilized our Immense Righteous Energy, we lost it a lot faster. It was totally out of our control."
Inwardly, Zhao Jishan had his own speculation as well. Earlier on, the Immense Righteous Energy in his body had decreased a lot too.
The higher-ups exchanged glances.
One of them said, "Has that Daoist priest from the Supreme Pure Temple turned against us?"
Zhao Jishan shook his head. "He wouldn't dare! The Deputy Hall Master of Yama had personally gotten involved. If he changes his mind at the last minute, even with the protection of the Supreme Pure Temple, he will probably die a horrible death."
