The black figure snorted coldly, those eerie eyes seeming capable of devouring everything in this world!
"Are Hun Sha and the others good for nothing? I was only gone for half a day!"
Feeling the faint pressure leaking from the black figure, the latter struggled to resist it. Not daring to show the slightest resentment, he respectfully said, "You are the commander-in-chief. Besides, the Clan Chief repeatedly emphasized that once this matter begins, there will be no turning back. With you absent, no one dared make a decision."
"He really is impatient. Hun Gui, do you know what a hunting game is?"
Though the bowed Hun Gui was already extraordinarily powerful, he still appeared somewhat flustered before the black figure. "Ah?... I do, but what do you mean, my lord?"
The black figure paused for a moment, seemingly finding it rather dull that Hun Gui did not understand his thoughts.
Turning toward the direction in which Ling Zhuo had vanished, he gave a chilling smile. "Go back and tell him to be more patient. We must be the final hunter. At the very least, we should wait until the prey has struggled desperately before delivering the fatal blow!"
Having received his orders, Hun Gui seemed to have been granted a reprieve. He hurried away, as though unwilling to remain even a moment longer. The black figure stood where he was, looking at Xiao Yan in the distance with an amused smile. Then, he was swallowed by a hollow black hole and vanished from the spot.
"Little fellow of the Xiao Clan, you are quite lucky. I look forward to our next meeting..."
"Little friend Xiao Yan, I am Kang Ning of the Pill Tower. Regarding what happened today, we failed to handle matters properly. I must apologize to you."
