"Hmph!"
A cold snort spoke for itself.
"Ha ha!"
Feng Qing'an laughed awkwardly. The condition of the Immortal Bell was obviously amiss, making it conspicuous hanging right above the head of the Eastern Radiance.
The cracks spread all over the surface of the bell were telling of its past. The shattered bell body indicated a tragic event in the past, apparently implying unpleasant outcomes and a past that was preferably left unmentioned.
His previous question seemed to have touched a wound of the Immortal Sect's history, angering the East Radiance. From the tone of its response, it seems the rank of the bell had declined following the event.
The bell, though shattered, still showed a complete spiritual intellect. This, on one hand, demonstrated its past glory, and on the other hand, presented a stark contrast with the current status quo, which was hard to accept.
