Hearing Li Yun "pour out his grievances" like that in front of White Emperor City's big shot, Qin Jue and the others were practically scared stiff.
"Senior, it's a misunderstanding, it really is a misunderstanding..."
Qin Jue did not dare let Li Yun continue. He leaped straight into the air and, without caring whether White Emperor City's big shot was actually older than him, directly addressed her as Senior.
"Senior, please listen to my explanation. We truly had no idea that Li Yun carried a White Emperor City Token."
"We knew even less that Li Yun had ties to White Emperor City. Otherwise, even if we were lent several times the courage, we would never have dared treat him this way..."
"This is all a misunderstanding. Please show mercy for the sake of our City Lord, Lord Qingping, and spare us this once."
"I guarantee that we will never again commit any offense against White Emperor City."
The Old Demon Hag gave Qin Jue an indifferent glance. "Hehe, is this your explanation? What a fine explanation. I forgive you in this life; don't do it again in the next."
"Hm?"
The moment Qin Jue heard this, he immediately realized something.
Without another word, he turned and fled.
His reaction was incomparably swift.
Yet the Old Demon Hag merely smiled faintly, as though she had seen nothing. The next instant, she lightly raised a hand, and a snow-white Lotus abruptly appeared in midair.
It enveloped Qin Jue within its petals.
As the Lotus petals withered one by one, Qin Jue's body silently turned to ashes.
He did not even have time to let out a scream.
This scene frightened the remaining Feitian City experts out of their wits. At the same time, they all dropped to their knees and trembled violently.
