Upon hearing this, Spirit Parrot immediately accepted the order and said she understood.
Of course she understood. Sikong Jing's performance had to be rewarded, to display the Spirit Race's magnanimity—but Sikong Jing had to be brought onto Spirit Race territory first. Then, he would... die within the Spirit Race.
That would serve as a warning to every race and every hall.
Naturally, he would die by "accident." They could not openly claim that the Spirit Race had killed him, yet they had to make every race and hall understand it perfectly well.
Before leaving, Spirit Parrot cast a brief glance at Spirit Gull...
