After a moment of surprise, Han Chi became even more furious. "When did it become your place to interfere in my conflict with Gao Wenyuan? I treated you with sincerity, yet you dared to betray me. You deserve to die!"
Han Chi threw a punch from a distance, but Gu Donglai, who was still kneeling on the ground, did not dodge or evade. By the time Wu Wei tried to help, it was too late. With a loud "boom", the surging power of the stars engulfed Gu Donglai's figure.
The ground cracked, and debris flew everywhere. When the dust settled, a large pit with a diameter of several tens of feet was revealed. Gu Donglai, his body shattered, lay in the pit, barely alive.
Just as Han Chi was about to make another move, Wu Wei arrived. The two exchanged a punch from a distance, and the shockwave caused them to both stagger back several steps.
At this moment, Shi Dingyan had already rushed over, and Shen Qian followed. The two of them dragged Gu Donglai out of the pit. Shi Dingyan examined him briefly and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, his divine sense has not dissipated, so he won't perish."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qian looked at Gu Donglai's broken body and felt a mix of emotions.

At this moment, Shen Qian's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked sharply at Shi Dingyan, "Third Senior Brother, you're a king now?"
Just now, Chen Qian was so preoccupied with a series of unexpected events that he hadn't even realized what was happening. Only now did he see the clue in the speed at which Shi Dingyan rescued Gu Donglai.
"Nonsense... Otherwise, would I be qualified to be here?" Shi Dingyan said with a sneer. "Not only me, but your fifth senior brother is also in seclusion. He should be breaking through soon."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qian was overjoyed and was about to speak when Wu Wei, who was confronting Han Chi in mid-air, suddenly let out a soft "Eh" in confusion.
