Bab 169: Sorry, I guess.

Xun came to a stop outside the Poison Grotto. He had stuck to the shadows, not wanting to cause a stir. It wasn't every day that a giant black cat strolled through the sect. He knew someone would try to attack him, and his Master would be upset if he killed a foolish disciple even if they attacked him first.
