"Kill him!"
Seeing that neither man had made a move, Zhao Su waved a hand at Zhou Yi.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Yi thrust the spear in his hand toward Zhao Jie's chest.
"Dad, save me!"
Zhao Jie cried out to Zhao Xun in terror.
Yet Zhao Xun still did not intervene.
The fear in his eyes grew increasingly obvious.
"Zhao Xun, you have defied all that is right and murdered the previous family head. Today, I will purge the Zhao Family of you."

As they spoke, they prepared to attack Zhao Xun.

Their lids opened on their own.
Four Battle Servants wrapped entirely in white cloth appeared
