Xuanyang Palace Master didn't know what his senior brother was up to, but he didn't dare defy his brother's command. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yang Chen, back then I schemed against you with Ling Bie. However, I only offered advice from the sidelines, and I later regretted it. I know it's meaningless to say this now, but I hope you can spare my life. For that, I am willing to pay any price to satisfy you."
Upon hearing the Palace Master's words, Yang Chen finally understood the intentions of Nine Sect Founder.
It seemed as though Nine Sect Founder wanted Xuanyang Palace Master to beg for mercy, but in reality, he was implying that Yang Chen should spare the palace master for the founder's face's sake.
But this kind of approach was mostly used among those who saw each other as equals. As for Yang Chen, even if Nine Sect Founder didn't reveal this, what could Yang Chen say?
