"Huo Lian, you really are as ruthless and cold-blooded as ever. But don't waste your scheming on sowing discord. My Pang Family is loyal to the Demon Hall and its Hall Master, whichever Hall Master that may be. Except for a traitor like you, of course," Pang Ji said coldly. "As for Huang Xiao, I really won't kill him. Because I believe Pang Yi is the strongest of the younger generation. I lost to you back then, but the junior I instructed won't lose to the one you instructed."
Pang Ji's words made Huo Lian's brows knit tightly.
To him, this was utter nonsense.
The Pang Family was loyal only to itself, a force that did everything for its own family. How could it be loyal to the Hall Master?
"Pang Ji, are you really not going to consider my proposal?" Huo Lian asked.
"Huo Lian, say no more about this!" Pang Ji said coldly.
"Don't reject it so firmly," Huo Lian said. "You can go back and give it some serious thought."
"There is absolutely no possibility," Pang Ji said. "Huo Lian, I may not be able to kill you now, but when the Demon Hall's Thousand-Year Period arrives, it will be your time to die."
Huo Lian let out a long sigh. "It seems I was expecting too much."
"Hmph, no matter how you struggle, it's useless. Death is your final fate. You should have been prepared for that when you betrayed the Demon Hall a thousand years ago," Pang Ji said. "Don't waste any more effort now."
"Fine. I don't want to say any more about this either," Huo Lian said. "Then deal with that matter of the Inner Hall Grand Elder as you see fit."
With that, Huo Lian turned to leave.
"Wait," Pang Ji called
