Under the terrifying pressure, the Guan Family Patriarch couldn't help but kneel, sweating profusely. Even as a Saint Realm Powerhouse, he couldn't lift his head in front of Han Zixiao. Such power was truly terrifying, which is why he has been reluctant to come here for all these years.
"Divine Monarch, please temper justice with mercy!"
The Guan Family Patriarch gritted his teeth as he explained, "This boy's background is extremely complicated, with intricate ties to the Four Great Celestial Sects and the Court. Because of this, our Guan Family lost a Saint. I dared not make decisions on my own and thus had to send him into the Secret Realm for the Divine Monarch to handle."
"Our Guan Family is utterly loyal to the Divine Monarch. Whatever decision you make, we will fully comply."
"So, you're saying you had my best interest in mind?"
With a slight chuckle, Han Zixiao nonchalantly retorted.
