As Shen Luo was staring intently at the dragon head, it suddenly opened its eyes. A deep red glow emanated from its eyes, revealing a seemingly endless resentment that charged out like a solid force.
However, the surrounding flames converged instantly, transforming into a phantom Fire Lotus. The nine fiery petals enclosed the strange corpse inside, causing all the anomalies to vanish instantly.
Shen Luo gasped sharply, and his senses returned to him in an instant. Everything around him resumed its normal state. Noticing that more than half of the three sticks of incense held by Hu Yong had burned down, he realized he could no longer pretend that nothing had happened. Swiftly, he ceased the spell he was casting, severing the mana connection between him and the Peach Wood Symbol without hesitation.
