Within the Nine Clans, an Elder from the Zhang Family twitched his lips and commanded the disciples behind him, "Even a Demon Chief can pass the test of the Heart-Refining Bridge; are our Nine Clans' disciples all cowards? The fate of each family rests on your shoulders. Whoever dares to cross the bridge will be heavily rewarded by our Zhang Family, regardless of any opportunities gained."
Elders from other families also encouraged and cheered on their own disciples.
Before their words had fallen, the thousand individuals who had just stepped onto the bridge cried out in agony, "Save me, save me!"
"I want to go back, I want to go back!"
Someone turned their head, and the flames on the bridge soared up, engulfing him within.
Someone in the crowd shouted, "The Consort Prince just said, better to die than look back!"
The people on the bridge, faces full of terror, said, "I am laden with sins, too much blood on my hands; I'm doomed to fail this trial!"
