"What?! 'dried up'?!" they exclaimed when they heard what Cheng Sheng said.
Cheng Sheng nodded in affirmation. "En." He answered.
"How did their spiritual veins ddriedup?" Gong Xian asked. Even if he went to the enemy's camp with his shifu, be doesn't know everything about the enemies – especially their secrets, just like how they got their power or, as Cheng Sheng said, their spiritual veins actually being dried up.
Dong Zheng looked at Gong Xian. He is surprised that Gong Xian doesn't know this. However, it is reasonable for Gong Xian only to spy on the enemies and it doesn't necessarily mean that Gong Xian would find out all the secrets of the enemies just from spying.
Cheng Sheng turned to look at Gong Xian. "I have a guess that it got something to do with their cultivation method." He answered.
"Their cultivation method...?" Gong Xian muttered when he recalled the enemies' strange power.
