Yue Qianchou had told the two men to flee precisely so he could observe how they reacted after falling victim to his Star Absorbing Great Method, gaining experience for future battles. The result showed that although they would not die, they had undoubtedly lost their fighting strength. A cold smile curled across his lips. His broadsword swayed twice, and he vanished in a teleport, appearing directly above the two men flying side by side.
"Gentlemen, you were the ones who cast aside benevolence and righteousness first. Don't blame me for showing no mercy."

Both families would certainly trace the matter back to Wàngǔtōng afterward, because quite a few people had personally seen the two men arrive with Wan Lihong. How were they supposed to explain it then?
Nor could they tell those two families that Yue Qianchou had killed them. Wouldn't that plainly mean opposing the Immortal Palace
