Upon hearing Liu Rushuang's resolute words, everyone present gasped in shock.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment, and even the wind was silent.
The outer disciples' faces turned pale with fear, and several couldn't help but retreat a few steps.
On Master Xuanming's gaunt face, it was hard to discern his emotions, but a chilling glint flashed in his murky old eyes.
His wide sleeves moved without wind, and within a radius of three zhang around him, a thin layer of frost silently formed on the ground.
"Rushuang." Master Xuanming's voice was like ice from the Nine Netherworlds, each word causing a shiver in everyone's hearts: "As the Vice Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, do you not know that defying order is a serious crime?"
Liu Rushuang straightened her slender waist, her sky-blue gown rustling under the pressure.
Her graceful neck slightly raised, revealing a beautiful jawline.
Her cool gaze directly met Master Xuanming's eyes, showing no sign of retreat.
