"My lord, you summoned me?"
Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter nodded.
"Congratulations, my lord, for slaying Xu Yan and achieving a great feat in restoring the glory of the Domain!"
The newcomer said with great elation.
The corners of Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter's mouth under the mask twitched, feeling the pain intensifying in his palm and shoulder, and even the trace of Sword Dao inside his body seemed to become more unruly at the mention of Xu Yan.
"Xu Yan is not dead!"
"What?"
The newcomer looked shocked; how could Lord Heavenly Slaughter personally fail to kill Xu Yan?
After a moment's thought, he suddenly said, "My lord, did you capture Xu Yan alive? Are you planning to frame another power?"
That's right!
Lord Heavenly Slaughter did not kill Xu Yan; was it to pin the death on another faction?
"I did not capture Xu Yan."
"What?"
The newcomer was shocked again.
"My lord, has Xu Yan become so powerful that even you could not handle him when acting personally?"
