Dongyang Si Chen roared furiously, spittle flying.
Dongyang Lige trembled beneath that roar.
Only now did he realize that he had made an enormous mistake.
The mistakes he had believed to be serious were nothing in the eyes of Old Ancestor Dongyang Si Chen!
A million sacrificial troops?
They had been wiped out entirely—wasn't that conclusion already clear?
It was the fault of Changsun Baimei, deputy commander of the Central Four Symbols Legion.
Growing close to the Emperor?
With Great Zhou in a time of crisis, it was only natural for the Ancestral God Hall to draw close to the Emperor.

Dongyang Lige's true error was that, under his management, the Dongyang Family had actually lost more than one hundred and thirty direct-bloodline clansmen, whose whereabouts remained unknown to this day!
