The entire scene came extremely suddenly, without the slightest hint of warning. Just moments before, the former disciples of the Chao Tian Sect, who were like the living dead, now seemed as if they had suddenly come to life, uniformly kneeling on one knee and loudly greeting the Sect Master.
This scene,
in the silent and soundless Underground Palace, appeared quite chilling.
Standing beside Chen Qiu, Xiong Gao felt as if his soul was about to be frightened away. He wanted to speak up to warn him, but though his mouth opened, he couldn't utter a single word.
However...
Sitting in the chair, Chen Qiu looked calmly at everything before him, with not much surprise in his eyes, only lightly tapping his forefinger on the armrest.
The next moment—
"All disciples greet the Sect Master's wife!"
Another chorus of loud voices echoed through the underground space.
Wife...?
