Seeing the atmosphere turn a bit off, Xu Wendong immediately let out a sigh, thinking to himself that he had to come up with a way to stabilize the situation.

He spoke slowly, his voice steady and firm: "Considering this is your first offense, and you were probably misled by the Liu Family, I can choose not to pursue this matter, and I'll even plead for leniency for you."
As he spoke, he observed the Disciples' reactions and continued, "My Senior Sister is Li Jiayin, and my Master is the Sect Master. With me pleading on your behalf, you might still be able to live."
Xu Wendong forced himself to stand straight. Though his body was weak, he still tried his best to appear aloof and extraordinary.
Then his gaze turned cold as he said in an icy voice, "If you plan to fight to the bitter end and remain stubborn, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"I can kill Elder Liu. Killing you lot is just as easy!"
