Chapter 352.2. Sacrifical Offering
Xu Tianran’s furious face instantly froze when he heard those words. A strange light flickered beneath his eyes – this seemed to be the only piece of good news amidst his colossal losses today.

Xu Tianran gritted his teeth as he looked up at the troupe of evil soul masters who had already gathered in the sky. He suddenly cried out painfully, “Father, father!
