Imagine if people like Ma Rulong and Zhou Kewen had chosen to side with the Dragon-Capturing Hall and become enemies with Wu Tian; they would probably be mired in a quagmire of inner turmoil right now, unable to extricate themselves.
As his thoughts drifted, Qi Yunfeng's gaze inadvertently swept over Ma Rulong, only to find his face ashen, his lips trembling slightly, and fear surging like an undercurrent, almost overflowing from his eyes.
As if by telepathy, Ma Rulong noticed the gaze, turned around abruptly, and their eyes met, a subtle contest filling the air.
