"S-Sect Leader… Please… Save me…" Hang Jimin, who was barely clinging to life, begged as he gazed at Senior Bai with pleading eyes.
Knowing Senior Bai's righteous character, he hoped Senior Bai would ask Yuan to forgive him.
However, before Senior Bai could even open his mouth, Yuan swung his arm and severed Hang Jimin's head.
"Sorry for dirtying your floor with his blood. I'll clean it up," Yuan said as he casually burned Hang Jimin's corpse with alchemy flames.
"W-Why did you kill him?!" Senior Bai exclaimed after snapping out of his daze. "If you'd kept him alive, we could've used him to negotiate with the Ji Family! He was evidence of their crime! Now that he's dead, they can simply deny everything!"
Senior Bai had intended to confront the Ji Family with Hang Jimin as proof they had tried to commit a crime within his territory. After all, even with his status, he couldn't openly move against the Ji Family without sufficient evidence.
