The Yaksha Ancestor's face turned green with rage, a surge of fury overwhelming him. He had never anticipated that the Alien King who entered the Cultivation World would be nearly annihilated; the cost was simply too great.
To his astonishment, a mere pawn in his eyes had managed such a shocking reversal, slaughtering all the kings! His near-cheating arrangement had proven to be all for naught, like fetching water with a bamboo basket only to end up with an empty basket.
One could say that this, in his eyes, was like being slapped resoundingly across the face by the very pawn, a thorough reversal that left him seeing stars. How would the other Half-Ancestors view this? Where would his dignity stand?
The loss was catastrophic, with the attempt to steal a chicken only leading to the loss of rice. Retribution came so swiftly that he was somewhat dazed.
