Fade had killed almost one hundred witchcraft practitioners a moment ago. Their corpses and blood were scattered all over the stone castle.
The rich aura of blood accompanied by fear, doubtfulness, and anger of the people filled the entire stone castle, causing it to be gloomy and terrifying.
At that moment, Blood Lord's expression was ghastly.
It was because the witchcraft practitioners from the other branches were all glowering at him with murderous intent.
They smouldered with resentment and hatred for betrayal.
Even some members of the Blood Witch Sect stared at Blood Lord with complicated emotions in their gazes.
If it had not been for the hierarchs of the major branch sects had been killed by Fade a moment ago.
Blood Lord might have been beaten to death by those angry practitioners.
Even so, he could barely deter them at that moment.
If such a situation continued, Blood Lord couldn't guarantee that he would be able to walk out of the stone castle alive.
"The situation of the battle on Master Chen's side is still unclear."
"No, I have to save myself. I have to find a way to get out of here."
Blood Lord knew that he couldn't stay any longer and was about to leave.
However, as soon as he took a few steps forward with his trusted subordinates, they were immediately surrounded.
"Blood Lord, you betrayed the Witch Lord! You betrayed the Witchcraft Clan!"
"You d*mn traitor, do you want to escape?"
"Blood Lord, we need an explanation for what happened just now."
In the face of more and more practitioners besieging them, Blood Lord's expression turned even more unpleasant.
He couldn't explain anything about the betrayal at all.
Right then, it seemed that the only option was to fight his way out.
However, he had been injured. He was not confident that he could escape from the encirclement of so many people.
Just as Blood Lord was deep in thought, others began to heckle him once again.
"Blood Lord, since you have no response, does it mean that you fail to explain?"
"He's a traitor. What's there to say about it? Kill him!"
"Kneel down!"
The situation was on the verge of breaking out of a battle. Blood Lord gritted his teeth and threw a sharp gaze. He was ready to fight his way out.
However, just then, a shrill whistle pierced through the sky.
Then, with a loud bang, the top of the stone castle was smashed, leaving a big hole.
Sunlight shone in from the hole, forming a circle of light on the stage.
A proud figure stood in the middle of the halo with his hands behind his back.
That person was none other than Fade.
Upon seeing his return, Blood Lord was instantly overjoyed. He rushed towards Fade in a flurry, "Master Chen, you, you're back."
The other practitioners were all startled. They couldn't help taking a few steps backwards, afraid that they would be killed by Fade.
He glanced at Blood Lord, then swept his gaze across all the practitioners, whose faces were full of hatred. He immediately understood what was going on.
He said nothing else and took out a black token, throwing it on the ground with a clang.
"The Witch Lord is dead!"
In an instant, the whole scene burst into an uproar.
"It's impossible for the Witch Lord to die!"
"The Witch Lord is so powerful! He couldn't have died. He must be lying."
"Liar, he's a liar. It's impossible for the Witch Lord to die."
"But... The token is the Witch Lord's personal keepsake!"
"The Witch Lord fled just now. Perhaps, h-he really was defeated."
