The situation in the arena was delicate.
Normally, a victory for our cultivators would undoubtedly be uplifting and would elicit cheers.
However, after the strange event that just transpired, even though Xiao Xinghe had defeated a strong foe, he didn't receive much cheering. Instead, he found himself subtly encircled by a few people led by that True Lake Level 7 cultivator.
Some Haotian Alliance cultivators who understood the situation saw this scene and sighed, shaking their heads. There were some who wanted to stand up for justice but were held back.
Xiao Xinghe's background from the Righteous Blood Sect caused some issues at the Sky Gate Checkpoint. Although some people couldn't openly act against him, there were some vile and despicable means behind the scenes that were looked down upon.
After a prolonged eye contact, Xiao Xinghe spoke faintly, "There won't be a next time!"
