The moment the black fog appeared, the Star Pavilion sect was immediately aware and rushed over.
They expected the cultivators near the black fog to be long since devoured, with no bones left behind. But to their surprise, when they hurried over, there was no sight of the fog, and the cultivators were still alive!
For a moment, the two elders of the Star Pavilion sect were left utterly baffled.
What in the world?
Beside them, Gou Ye took advantage of their dazed state and swallowed the black pearl on the ground in one gulp. Then, with the casual demeanor of a dog who had done nothing wrong, he sat on the ground whistling.
The commotion earlier attracted another elder—one who was at the Half-step Celestial Emperor level!
"Hey, whose dog is this? It just ate something, spit it back out!"
The elder spoke as he reached out, ready to grab Gou Ye's dog neck.
Suddenly, the dog spoke in human language!
"If I were you, I'd retract that hand right now, or you'll lose it immediately!"
