Sima Liu was obviously not discussing with Zhixi but informing her. So without waiting for Zhixi's reply, the Black Mist he used to protect the Devil Sect believers suddenly exploded and then spread out in all directions.
The Devil Sect believers didn't know what happened. Seeing the Black Mist shrouding their figures suddenly disappear, they couldn't help but stop walking and look towards Zhixi leading at the front.
Seeing this, Zhixi couldn't help but stop walking too. She coughed once and said in a deep voice, "We've been hustling for three hours. Rest here now."
The Devil Sect believers whom Zhixi was leading away were all Awakeners from the Miaohua Tribe. They were of the same tribe as Zhixi and had obeyed her, the Clan Leader's daughter, even before their Awakening. Now, with the added hierarchy of the Devil Sect, Zhixi's words made them respond in unison, "Yes!" and they promptly sat down on the ground as instructed.
