Chapter 212: Do Not Tempt Me (1)

Everyone in the palace understood what was going on, but dared not speak for fear of being implicated.

Xing Lou suddenly spoke. "Xuan Wei."

"Here I am." Xuan Wei responded.

Xing Lou spoke coldly. "What is the penalty for being insubordinate to the terminator?"

A chilly light flashed across Xuan Wei's eyes and he suddenly pulled a dagger from his belt.

The dagger glittered coldly in the light of the lamps, showing a strange glimmer of demon blood. It shone in the eyes of the onlookers.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" A tragic and piercing scream rose from Lei Yuanxu. He clutched the stump of his left arm and collapsed in a pool of blood, wailing in pain.

The shrill noise pierced everyone's ears. Mixed with the pungent smell of blood, it woke everyone up like a bucket of cold water.
