Chi Ya gave a cold snort.
"As for why, Commander Huoyun, I suspect you know better than I do."
"I have no interest in wasting words. Destroy your cultivation of the Demon-Subduing Sutra and sever your Primordial Spirit's Great Dao, both of you, and I might spare your lives."

But now, he could barely save his own skin!
