In an instant, Wei Dongliu even felt the impulse almost to the point of tears, as if he had "found his organization."
But he quickly suppressed his emotions.
Years of undercover life had turned Wei Dongliu's heart as cold as steel; he would not easily trust anyone. Thus, he feigned ignorance and asked in a deep voice,
"World destruction? Is this some kind of alarmist joke?"
The hall fell silent.
One of the figures shrouded in black mist suddenly asked,
"May I know how much Number Nine understands about the ancient event of Nuwa mending the sky?"
Wei Dongliu spoke in a deep voice,
"I've heard that in the ancient times of the Witch Clan, Zhu Rong and Gonggong fought a great battle. In a fit of anger, Gonggong struck Mount Bu Zhou, causing the Heavenly Dome to shatter."
"Water from the Heavenly River gushed out from the breach, and later Nuwa took Five-Colored Stone for refinement to mend the sky, which quelled the floods in the Mortal World."
