"The... the Clan Leader is dead? H-How is this possible?"
Beitang Jian's face was a mask of panic, as if he'd just lost his parents.
'This wasn't how the script I'd imagined was supposed to go!'
'Beitang Mo!'
'He was a master of the Domain Third Refinement! In all of Coastal City, besides Sima Qingtian, who could possibly be his opponent?'
'Shouldn't Jiang Chen have been defeated by the Clan Leader, his cultivation crippled, and then handed over to me? Shouldn't he be kneeling before me right now, begging me to spare him like a stray dog? H-How did it end up like this?' Beitang Jian was completely dumbfounded.
Just then, a cold voice boomed in his ear like a clap of thunder: "Beitang Jian, die!"
Beitang Jian shuddered violently.
He looked in panic at the charging Jiang Chen and roared, "Ximen Family Master, save me!"
「In the distance.」
Ximen Qingsong's expression changed drastically. "Beitang Mo is actually dead? Damn it..."
