98 Demoted

Bai Yu was no untrained rookie. His muscular body was used to enduring hardship, but to remain unperturbed whilst every bone in his body broke into pieces? He was unsure it was possible for anyone, god or mortal, to remain composed under such cruel treatment.

Still, he could not cry out. His pride would not allow him to do so. One way or another, it was his fault. He was in charge, and had disappointed His Lordship. He could only guess at the level of chaos that would ensue from his lax of security over the clan.

Not to mention Taotie… that monster hated the entire Huli Jing with every fiber of his being.

And so, Bai Yu bore his punishment like the seasoned warrior he was. Beads of sweat broke out on his back and his mouth twisted into a grimace – the only signs of his suffering. Not even a single tear found its way out of his eyes.
