(Xun Guan POV)
"So let me get this straight…" Master sighed, massaging the bridge of his nose between his fingers. "The Dark Sect found some kind of artifact that granted them a lot of power? What kind of power are we even talking about here?"
That old bastard hesitated for a moment before answering, "That… I don't know, Master Lin… They never told me what they even found... They only gave me this formation and told me to use it to take over your Sect. All I know is that they found something ancient and that granted them a lot of power."
Master seemed to be contemplating something for a moment before shaking his head, "So you're just their pawn to be used and thrown away then?"
I knew Master's question would definitely hurt this old bastard's pride to admit to it, not like he has a choice in denying it now anyway, not if he still values his existence.
He lowered his head, "It is as you say… Master Lin… This one is just a pawn..."
