Today's third update: Chapter 2419! 3/4!
Though Tiger Roar's urging carried anger, Xu Kun remained unmoved.
There had to be a reason behind such abnormal behavior. He did not rush to leave. Instead, he stared directly at the White Tiger Divine Statue for a long while. Only after seeming to understand something did he bow deeply to it before walking out of White Tiger Hall at an unhurried pace.
As he left, a glint flashed through the White Tiger Divine Statue's eyes.
Qiongqi had long been like an ant on a hot pan. "Brother Kun, you've committed a grave taboo."
"Oh? What's the issue?"
"The White Tiger Hall is a place of worship for the White Jade Tiger Lineage, yet it stands above all other shrines. It is regarded as the place where our race worships the Tiger Ancestor, and it was once where our race directed military affairs and commanded the Tiger Fiend Race's tiger soldiers. Other than Elder Bai Zouyu, no one else is permitted to enter White Tiger Hall. After the Tiger Ancestor fell, White Tiger Hall was sealed off, and no one has been allowed inside since."
"How... did you break through the restriction and enter?"
Qiongqi spoke urgently, his confusion filled with helplessness.
"Oh, and then?" Xu Kun turned back to look at him, neither uneasy nor inclined to explain himself.
Seeing Xu Kun's calm demeanor, Qiongqi froze. "According to our race's customs, anyone who dares trespass into White Tiger Hall is to be executed without mercy."
"So the Tiger Fiend Race intends to kill me?"
"No... no." Qiongqi replied awkwardly.
"Then you're throwing me out?"
"Also... also no..." Qiongqi lowered his head even further.
"So if you won't kill me or drive me away, what consequences are there for entering White Tiger Hall?
