Apart from the arrogant Nan Mingyu and the sneering Wu Chenlu, the surrounding witch cultivators wore playful smiles, watching Chen Xuan as if he were the punchline of a joke.
These witch cultivators were mostly supporters of Wu Chenlu for the position of the new sect master. Seeing the Evil Emperor Chen Xuan—a man whose reputation had been built up so grandly in the outside world—arrive at their headquarters only to be humiliated and silenced, they felt a vicarious sense of participation, even if they hadn't personally insulted him. They looked forward to bragging to outsiders later that the Evil Emperor Chen Xuan had been forced to tuck his tail and bow his head at their headquarters.
Chen Xuan had long anticipated that Nan Mingyu would go back on his word. However, he had refused to allow someone like Nan Mingyu or Wu Chenlu to propose to Zhang Zhicheng in his presence, making this wager a battle he was destined to lose. As for the debt of Nan Mingyu’s treachery, he would settle it eventually.
