"Red Lotus Ancestor was murdered. This is her newly accepted disciple from the secular world, and I'm taking him to the Sword Control Sect!" Shangguan Shiming explained, her gaze turning icy. The stare from a master at the Tenth Layer of Qi Cultivation was like a razor's edge, slicing across Xu Wen's body.
With a thud, Xu Wen dropped to his knees, his body trembling violently. "Forgive me, Emissary! Please, forgive me!"
With a great show of authority, Shangguan Shiming let out a cold snort. "Rise. In light of your loyalty, I will forgive your offense this time. If it happens again, I will not be so lenient!"
"Thank you, Emissary, for your mercy!" After kowtowing deeply, Xu Wen shakily rose to his feet and led Shangguan Shiming and Lin Mu into a cold storage room in the slaughterhouse. After ushering the two inside, Xu Wen bowed at the waist and respectfully exited.
