Ah. I knew that pissing off a Golden Core cultivator was a bad idea.
The aura exuded by Ning Lau was potent enough to make me stumble. A primal sense of fear was urging me to kneel and obey.
Below me, the chaos quietened for a moment. Qi Foundation cultivators had almost no chance to resist this power and fell to their knees.
However, Qi Condensation cultivators were only partially affected.
"Keep going!" Tao Song shouted, raising her fist.
Her own aura spread out, partially counteracting Ning Lau's aura. Following her example, other Qi Condensation cultivators of the Crystal Phoenix Sect did the same, removing some pressure from their weaker brothers and sisters.
I was glad for them, but Ning Lau was clearly incensed way too much by my betrayal.
He flew right at me, raising his sword.
"Junior, you are a fly that decided to annoy me with its buzzing and die in my soup. Stupid, useless, pathetic rebellion—and now you die!"
