In the Tranquil Sun province of the empire, there exists an unremarkable lordship known as Snow Eagle Territory! This is the home of the Dong Bo clan, the clan of our hero Xue Ying! His father, a commoner turned noble; his mother, a noble who abandoned her clan for love, and his brother, an innocent toddler. But peace cannot last forever, Xue Ying’s peaceful life is shattered, and the only way to reclaim it is through power!
Hu, hu, hu… Pu Yang Bo’s breathing was really weak, but as a Transcendent, he managed to keep himself awake.
Zhi ya.
The gates of the torture chamber were pushed open, and a stooping old man walked in. As soon as he entered, he began chanting a curse. Soon, the seals on Pu Yang Bo’s skin began lighting up. Streams of black Qi were visible on the surface of these seals, and vague signs of a black skull appeared on them. Pu Yang Bo could not control himself as he shouted in agony.
"Ahhh, kill me! If you dare, just kill me! I won’t join you. Never! Kill me, ah, kill me!" Pu Yang Bo howled in grief as he cursed out his anger.
"I, as a mere servant, would never dare to kill such a great Transcendent." The stooping old man laughed. His voice sounded as if it were squeezed out from his throat—dry, rough, ear-piercing. "I am merely following orders!"
"Damn, damn."
Pu Yang Bo cursed out amidst his anguished wailing.
