I have diligently served the Dark Yin Palace for my whole life and this is the final outcome that I’ll be subject to. Since Master has given the order, I cannot disobey.

A flash of light flared and the long sword in his hands fell onto the ground with a clatter. As he lifted his head in astonishment, he saw the young woman with a cold expression appear before him.
