Xiao Wuji also wanted to flee, but he had barely taken a step when he felt an icy gaze fall upon him.
His entire body stiffened as he slowly turned around, only to meet Chu Yang's eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through everything.
"Someone from the Xiao Family wants to leave too?" Chu Yang asked with a faint smile.
Xiao Wuji's face turned deathly pale. His legs gave out beneath him, and he collapsed directly onto the ground.
"Em... Emperor Lord, spare me!" His voice trembled, and none of his earlier arrogance remained. "This lowly one was blind and should never have made an enemy of you! Please be magnanimous and spare this lowly one just this once!"
Chu Yang looked down at him without the slightest trace of pity in his eyes.
"Your father, Xiao Grand Tutor, died beneath the Nine Li Diagram. Yet instead of seeking revenge against the Nine Li Dynasty, you willingly became their dog and came to deal with people who held no grudge against you."
"Is that how the Xiao Family teaches its descendants?"
Xiao Wuji was so ashamed that he wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground.
Yet he still did not dare retort. He could only keep kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Chu Yang could not be bothered to look at him any longer and turned to the Nine Li Ancestor, who had already boarded the war chariot.
"Nine Li Ancestor, I won't be returning this Xiao Family man to you," he said calmly. "Consider him a gift for your grand arrival today."
The Nine Li Ancestor's face turned livid, but he did not dare say another word.
He merely stared at Chu Yang with eyes filled with bone-deep hatred.
"Chu Yang, I will remember today's grudge!"
