Scitalis sneered condescendingly as he watched the Sea Dragon Palace beggars.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth the next second. "It appears that you are not the typical mountain bandits," he said slowly. "Why are you here robbing?"
Those men were all wearing fish skin soft armor. They do not fit in as mountain bandits.
They exchanged glances in response to his question. Then, in fear, a man approached Scitalis and said, "Your Excellency, we are people from the Sea Dragon Palace..."
He recounted the destruction of the Sea Palace Dragon for the next two minutes.
They turned out to be a gang of pirates.
Scitalis' disdain grew as he learned their true identity. He had been trapped underground for hundreds of years. He did not understand the world's situation. He could not be bothered to listen to the ups and downs of the Hidden Hero Sect at the time. He quickly waved his hand. "Enough already. Stop talking. If you want me to let you go, you must give me a reason."
Scitalis' eyes glowed with menace as he said that. Scitalis was not only a lustful person but also a violent one. He never let people who offended him get away with it. He was thinking about how he would torture those Sea Dragon Palace people to death at the time.
People in the Sea Dragon Palace could not help but swallow their saliva when they sensed Scitalis' evil. Their pupils were about to erupt.
The man kneeling in front of him immediately said, "Your Excellency, you are extremely powerful. Killing us would be as simple as murdering an ant. That serves no purpose for you.
"If you were to spare our lives, we will be at your service and follow you to death."
Upon his words, the others nodded in agreement.
"Yes, we'll follow you to death."
"Please take us in, Your Excellency."
The weather in June was erratic at the Lange family's manor. It was sunny in the morning but raining in the afternoon.
A gloomy atmosphere hung over the Lange family manor.
White silk was draped all around the manor. The disciples were all dressed in white as well. Their expressions were filled with grief and sadness.
That day was Zenyi's burial day and Graham's execution day.
Tuji's beloved son's death was announced to the cultivator world two days ago. Every sect was stunned at the time. The Lange family wielded considerable power in the world of cultivators. They had close ties with a variety of sects. Many sects sent representatives to offer their condolences after hearing the news.
At that time, a wooden platform was erected in front of the manor's grand hall. The platform was about the size of a basketball court. Hundreds of chairs were placed on both sides of the platform. Representatives from all the various sects sat in those chairs. Tianshan School, Iron Palms, and many others were all close friends with the Lange family.
Zenyi's funeral hall was located north of the wooden platform, facing the hall. The funeral hall was packed with Lange family disciples. They all appeared depressed and in pain.
