By the time the elders returned, the hall was surrounded by hundreds of cultivators who had rushed to the place after hearing the explosion. Dark clouds had gathered in the sky, and heavy rain was pouring down over the ruined hall.
They were about to leave the moment they saw the dragons inside, but Felix ordered them to stay. He wanted them all to witness how he would defile the goddess of the very beasts they had been unable to defeat for so many years.
He even created a platform of thick vines to give them a clear view of the hall. Even with hundreds of them gathered on the platform, the entire area was completely silent, no cultivator daring to make a sound in the presence of the dragon lords. Only the rain could be heard, drumming against the vines and soaking every one of them to the bone.
