Whoosh!
Everyone present, including Zhu Qilue, held their breath, staring intently at Dongmen Buju and the Fifth Sword Emperor.
From their viewpoint, the Fifth Sword Emperor's sword seemed to have pierced Dongmen Buju's heart, indicating that Dongmen Buju was defeated, dying under the sword of the Fifth Sword Emperor.
Complete silence.
A deathly stillness.
Everyone's emotions were complicated and tangled.
Fear.
Surprise.
Joy.
Dread.
Panic.
Calm.
...
Each person had a myriad of emotions interwoven, feeling a mix of bittersweet, with a flood of complex emotions.
Dongmen Buju, actually dead?
If someone had told them this news in the past, they would think that person was insane. Dongmen Buju, the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Clan, a figure nearly reaching the rank of Heavenly Venerate, how could he die?
Unless Dongmen Buju committed suicide, who could possibly kill Dongmen Buju?
If Dongmen Buju wasn't crazy, then surely the person spreading this news was.
