Lu Ye had not been dead set on killing the Uniting Dao guardian inside. In fact, whether the man lived or died was not worth mentioning to him at all.
"Fine!" Humiliation flashed through the Third Vice City Lord's eyes, but he ultimately gritted his teeth and agreed. He immediately swore an oath.
There was more than one person in the Central Great Hall.
Previously, his exchange with Lu Ye had been through Divine Sense Transmission, so no one else had heard anything. But now that he was swearing an oath, every cultivator heard it loud and clear.
