As Venerable Ba Lian's words fell, the faces of the Heavenly Decision Makers turned ashen, as did those of the Earth Decision Makers.
Some were because of Ba Lie Venerable's covert actions.
Those like Dongwu and Nanfeng and several other Earth Decision Makers were because they had been played, thoroughly deceived by the Old Woman in front of them.
Suddenly, Dongwu looked at Sikong Jing and demanded, "Is this your arrangement too?"
Arranging for an ordinary old woman to enter the Inner City to play them, to expose Ba Lie Venerable's dominance with one hand, to deliberately strike at the dignity of the Overlord Commerce's high-ranking officials, and then launch some counterattack or the like.
Even though Ba Lie was gravely wrong, Dongwu's blame first targeted Sikong Jing.
Their dignity as Heavenly Decision Makers is not to be violated!
In response to Dongwu's questioning, Sikong Jing shrugged and replied, "Of course not, but if you want to blame it on me, that's fine too..."
