The moment Su Jen's presence vanished into the distance, the abyss once again fell into complete silence.
The man seated on the stone platform did not speak. His gaze lingered in the direction she had left, and a cold light slowly surfaced in his eyes.
To think… this woman actually dared to annihilate my sect.
And she truly believed she could walk away unscathed?
His lips curled into a sneer.
If this had been his true body, he would have acted without hesitation—her soul would've already been extracted and sealed, left to suffer an eternity of torment beneath the soul-destroying flames.
But alas, this was only an avatar, left here solely to maintain the ancient seal atop the abyss. He could not move freely, nor even take half a step beyond the platform.
Let alone interfere with the outer world.
"This seal cannot be left unattended. I may not be able to interfere directly… but my true self shall soon be informed."
A cruel, curved smile slowly spread across his face.
