"Testing the waters?"
Li Wujiu sneered. A thread of bloody light burst from his fingertip and burned a black hole through the table before him. "You said the same thing last year, before Li Yunjing returned. And what happened?"
"Of the twelve core elders sent to ambush Sea-Gazing City, we couldn't even recover their bones!"
