No one expected that His Highness Tiangang Ji Changxin would take such a drastic step. He chose the most decisive method to settle the grievances amidst Shangguan Yinkong's refusal to listen to his explanations. He was using his own blood and life to prove something to Shangguan Yinkong.
Shangguan Yinkong was completely stunned, so were Shui Mingyue and Leng Fengyun. Of course, even if they were not emotionally affected, they would absolutely not take the initiative to rescue Ji Changxin. In the current situation, Ji Changxin could be considered the strongest one here. If he were gone, the odds of the Magic Technique Guild winning would significantly increase. Moreover, there were evidently major problems between Ji Changxin and Shangguan Yinkong. If Ji Changxin died, Shangguan Yinkong might collapse on her own.
