All that could be seen were a good number of dead bodies belonging to their fellow comrades, dyeing the floor a bloody red.
The people who regained consciousness were also covered in blood, and many were heavily wounded.
It was evident that there was a huge massacre earlier.
"What…"
Finally, Zacho was the first to return to his senses. "How did this happen?"
Zacho was completely unclear about what had happened since he was hallucinating.
As the words rang through the air, Adam clutched at his forehead. "I completely blacked out. All I thought of was killing Darryl Darby."
Everyone else around nodded at the words.
"Me too… I was trying to kill Darryl Darby the entire time earlier. Why couldn't I?"
"Me too…"
"Could it be… Could it be that we hallucinated and mistook each other for Darryl?"
Amidst the voices, no one could figure out what had happened. Why had they started hallucinating out of nowhere?
Huh?
Amidst everyone's shock, they saw that Vincent and the other Heavenly Ocean Sect pupils had collapsed in their own blood and were shocked once again.
The next second, Martin yelled before rushing over.
"Vincent!"
All that could be seen was Vincent's face devoid of color, his body utterly stained red with blood as he looked unspeakably pale and barely alive.
Martin was struck with both heartache and fury as he asked in a trembling voice with Vincent's hands in his. "What happened, Vincent?"
As the head elder of the Heavenly Ocean Sect, Martin could tell that it was a completely different kind of chaos from what had happened by the river.
Over a hundred Heavenly Ocean Sect elites were crushed to death. It was obvious that an immensely strong and violent force had taken their lives, and it was not a hallucination that caused them to kill each other.
Just then, Vincent clutched Martin's arm tightly as his eyes shone with an unreadable expression, and he forced out the words with the last of his might.
"Head… Head Elder. That… that Darryl Darby isn't for us to be messed with. He's… terrifying. Let's… Let's just give up. I've already… I've given up my life for this. I don't… I don't want the Heavenly Ocean Sect to follow my fate…"
As the final word rang through the air, Vincent's body grew heavy as he closed his eyes and his breathing slowed to a stop.
"Vincent!"
Seeing Vincent die, Martin's heart shattered into a million pieces as he could not help but cry in agony, tears rolling down his face.
At the same time, the other sect elites also made up their minds for good.
"Forget it. We're fine without the Heavenly Secret Palace cultivation methods. We're out of here.''
"We're leaving too."
The next second, a good number of the sects had excused themselves. The Heavenly Ocean Sect, one of the three biggest sects, had already paid such a tragic price in their attempt to take down Darryl.
How would anyone else still dare to continue?
