John's reply caused everyone watching, from the disciples to the branch sect leaders, to suck in a breath of cold air. Only Lilian, as well as the other Yuan Continent disciples remained calm and even laughed lightly, as they were familiar with John's overbearing and brash persona.
Whisperwind, who was already fuming from seeing her star disciple beaten into near unconsciousness, became even more angry as her face turned a darker shade of red. Her power began to flare as she was unable to control her emotions, before a light cough sounded out.
Whisperwind glanced over to the source of the cough, and her power instantly faded as she bowed her head slightly.
"Sorry, Grand Elder. I lost my calm for a moment," Whisperwind said, as the one who had just coughed was supposedly the Grand Elder.
