Ling Xiaozi remained indifferent, which greatly boosted the morale of the crowd.
Most martial artists were brave and fearless by nature, never one to cower from death, so naturally, they would not be intimidated.
Even though the situation at hand seemed disadvantageous, it only served to ignite their fighting will further.
Stirred by Ling Xiaozi's words, their desire to fight surged even more intensely.
The Demon Eagle King and his ilk's expressions changed slightly; after all, Ling Xiaozi was from the Hidden God Ninth Layer Heaven, and taking him down would cost them dearly.
This was the very reason they had yet to make their move, hoping to crush Ling Xiaozi's will to fight to the barest minimum.
But now, it seemed that approach was proving rather ineffective.
Instead, Ling Xiaozi appeared ready to risk it all. If a major battle were to break out now, they could likely be dragged into the fray.
