Most cultivators assumed the delays were normal. Since no one knew anyone else's schedule, there had been no reason to question it.
Had Lin Mu not informed them of the Order's intentions, they would have remained ignorant until it was too late.
They would have been caught completely unaware.
"This guy!" one of the cultivators wearing blue robes exclaimed upon seeing the deacon. "I've been wanting to bash this fucker's face in since the moment I saw him." Without hesitation, the man strode toward the deacon.
"You! What do you think—"
Before the deacon could even finish his sentence, a fist smashed into his face.
THUD
The deacon slammed into the wall and slid down, immediately knocked out from the sheer force of the blow. He was only equivalent to the Second Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm, while the man who had punched him was already a Fourth Tribulation Stage immortal.
SPIT
"Weak." The man sneered, looking down at the unconscious deacon and spitting on his face.
