"The sinner?"
Lu Xuan muttered under his breath. This Bald Blood Butcher had been confined in the forbidden area, the chains of the Chained Artifact binding his hipbones, limiting his movements. Given his understanding of the Sect's rules, he estimated that the crime committed must be severe.
"Yes, I was impulsive and hot-tempered in my youth, culminating in a great sin of murder. There was, however, a reason behind it, so my sin wasn't severe enough to warrant death. Hence, the Precept Hall Master Uncle locked me up in this forbidden area to slaughter demonic beasts daily - an exercise designed to wear down my murderous urges."
The bald monk spoke at a leisurely pace.
"Confined in the forbidden area, surrounded by demonic beasts every day. Before I realized it, a century had passed. I have no idea how the world outside has changed."
His bloody eyes took on an immeasurable depth as he stared into the depths of the tunnel, falling silent.
