There was the pale-faced, silver-haired Taixuan Scholar, holding a scroll and seemingly reading attentively, his aura extremely weak—clearly severely injured.
There was Su Lingwei, whose slender figure remained, though wrinkles were already visible on her delicate face, making her look twenty or thirty years old. When Yelin had left, her cultivation was still at the Golden Core Realm, but now she had condensed a Nascent Soul.
There was also Elder Sun, the eccentric old man of the Taixuan Sect, walking through the air, his hair completely gone and not a single tooth left in his mouth, yet his eyes remained bright and spirited... Beside him, also exuding an aura of decay, were a praying mantis and a sword mantis with triangular heads and white hair and beards, one missing an arm and the other a leg that could never grow back.
