"Taiping Sect. They deserve to be wiped out..." Lu Yuan's chest heaved.
Pang Tianlong took a deep breath. "The Taiping Sect should be wiped out, but that's easier said than done... The Taiping Sect has existed for thousands of years. No matter how often it's suppressed, it always rises from the ashes. Its influence is deeply rooted and far-reaching. Even the current court would likely find it no easy task to eradicate the sect."
Lu Yuan's scalp prickled. Pang Tianlong was a Silver Badge Constable of Six Doors, a middle-ranking official within the organization, yet he was pessimistic about the court's chances of eradicating the Taiping Sect. That showed just how difficult the task would be.
The Taiping Sect was probably a colossal force capable of standing against the court.
Damn, if the Taiping Sect found out he'd been opposing them all along, he'd be doomed.
"By the way, was the plague that recently infected countless people caused by the Taiping Sect?" Lu Yuan asked.
All three shook their heads, saying they didn't know.
Lu Yuan slapped Huo Jian awake and demanded, his expression grim, "Tell me. Was your Taiping Sect behind the plague that infected countless people?"
"Hahaha..."
"Blazing holy fire, burn my broken body. What joy is there in life, what suffering is there in death? Do good and purge evil, all for the sake of peace. Joy and sorrow alike shall return to dust. Pity the people of this world, beset by so many woes. Pity the people of this world, beset by so many woes..."
Lu Yuan flew into a rage. "You're asking for death!"
He brought his foot down and crushed two of Huo Jian's fingers.
Pain shot from Huo Jian's fingertips straight to his heart. His whole body trembled, but he continued chanting.
Crack!
