Under everyone's watchful gaze, Duan Tianlang turned to Tang Zhao in terror. "Sect Master, I didn't say anything! I really didn't! I don't know how this Xuan Ye heard any of this, but I swear I said nothing! Sect Master, you remember! I took an oath back then! I can't reveal a single word about that Lord. The moment I do, the Golden Palace Celestial Lock Seal will self-destruct and obliterate my soul! This guy is just spouting nonsense..."
Duan Tianlang's panicked explanation was a jumbled mess.
"Duan Tianlang, shut your mouth!" Tang Zhao roared, his face ashen with fury.
Only then did Duan Tianlang snap out of his confusion, his expression clearing.
Ye Xuan began to laugh. "You two, did you hear that? 'That Lord,' 'Golden Palace Celestial Lock Seal,' 'soul obliteration'... Duan Tianlang, it seems the Profound Mystery Sect's conspiracy is quite something. Tsk, tsk. And you admitted to it all yourself."
