While almost everyone awake was trying to run away, only two groups of individuals remained standing... No, make that three.
One group was the seven Evil Spirits of various kinds, three of which being Lodia and Pharsa—both Dual-Soul Wraiths—and Du Jun, the Blazing Wrath Fiend.
Another group was Alexis and the rest of the Campbell family. Although they remained mostly unscathed, they all fell to the ground back when Du Jun went on a rampage and sucked everyone's vitality.
Of course, even Alexis himself—the de facto strongest cultivator in the mortal realm—fell to his knees.
Finally, there was Xu Tao's group. Although among them, only Xu Tao remained truly "standing."
Jehanne and Zetian were both down on one knee, with Yifa and Henrietta propping each other up. During the earlier attack, Yifa quickly tried to protect Henrietta, but as luck would have it, her Faceless Shadow Technique had little to no defensive power.
