Chapter 1693: Nothing More Than This
Wu Jiao died very suddenly, and no one anticipated this would happen. Even the two powerful Great Witches from the Wu Clan Tribe were caught off guard. It was only after Wu Jiao's body was torn apart that they noticed the situation.
Wu Jiao's death made them involuntarily pause for a moment.
This time, their Wu Clan Tribe came well-prepared to intercept the Shadow Clan Tribe's team exploring the ruins. They had a relatively thorough understanding of the strength of the Shadow Clan Tribe's exploration team.
They did not think that any cultivators from the Wu Clan Tribe would die here.
In fact, if not for the unexpected presence of Jing Yan, the seven cultivators from the Wu Clan Tribe indeed would not have fallen. These Great Witches and Wizards had even brought along a clan witch tool from the Wu Clan Tribe—its continuously emitting cyan light curtain was indeed from the clan's witch tool, extremely powerful, and a wide-area attack witch tool difficult for cultivators below the Wizard Realm to resist.
But now, the Wizard of the Wu Clan Tribe, Elder Wu Jiao, was dead!
The remaining members of the Wu Clan Tribe were stunned.
Even the members on the Shadow Clan Tribe's side were momentarily dazed. Whether it was the recruits or the internal disciples of the Shadow Clan Tribe, they all stared at Jing Yan.
Most people present hadn't clearly seen how Wu Jiao died. They were all fighting fiercely, and Wu Jiao appeared to die in the blink of an eye. Many didn't even see the moment Wu Jiao's body was torn apart.
If anyone saw it clearly, it was probably Ying Lu. She was positioned behind Jing Yan and intended to help Jing Yan battle Wu Jiao, but before she could act, Wu Jiao was killed in a single sword strike.
Ying Lu's beautiful eyes looked at Jing Yan with incredulous gazes.
She knew Jing Yan was powerful. When she helped Jing Yan evade the pursuit from the Supreme Elder Wu Yan of the Wu Clan Tribe, she could tell Jing Yan's strength was not comparable to a regular wizard. Later, during the Shadow Clan Tribe's recruitment test, Jing Yan demonstrated formidable strength, confirming this point.
