Chapter 118 - Tie Sha Vows Allegiance, the Underworld Gates of the Black Market Open - Part 3
Upon arriving at the Blood Fury Hall, a disciple led him to the rear chamber. There, Li Yuan found Tie Sha standing alone at the window, a strangely intense look on his face. When Tie Sha saw Li Yuan, he stood abruptly.
Li Yuan bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Sect Master. I’ve been working hard on my training these days, hoping to become a qualified beastmaster soon.”
Tie Sha said nothing, simply continued to stare at him.
Li Yuan added, “I’ve managed to tame two more blackrock mastiffs recently...”
Tie Sha’s throat bobbed, and he took a deep breath.
Startled by Tie Sha’s odd expression, Li Yuan asked, “Sect Master...is something wrong?”
Tie Sha said quietly, “The Fragrant General is dead. Word outside is that our Blood Blade Patriarch did it.”
Li Yuan nodded casually. “All hail the Patriarch. With him watching over the Blood Blade Sect, our defenses are unbreakable.”
Tie Sha swallowed hard. He lowered his voice. “When the Fragrant General was killed...you weren’t at home.”
“Huh?” Li Yuan blinked. “Uh...I...I was out hunting.”
Tie Sha pressed on carefully. “When the Sun-Wei alliance broke into the inner district, you were right here in town.”
Li Yuan fell silent.
