He wasn't surprised at Xiao Yun's corruption, but what truly surprised him was how Feng Fan knew all of this despite never having set foot in Seven Heavens City.
Xiao Yun recognized this as his last chance. Without hesitation, he pulled out the escape talisman he had prepared from his space ring. Though part of him wanted to spit out some cliché villainous threat, swearing revenge or cursing Feng Fan, he knew better than to waste even a fraction of a second.
But just as he channeled his spiritual qi into the talisman to activate it, a black object shot through the air and struck his hand with brutal force.
"Ah!" Xiao Yun cried out in pain as the talisman slipped from his grasp and clattered to the floor.
Both Cheng Fengge and Lu Bao immediately noticed his attempt, their expressions darkening.
