Inside the Crimson Slayer Sect, Cyrus, the Sect Master, sat in his office holding a broken Life Tablet, which is essentially a jade slip with inscriptions on it that are tied to someone's life.
The Life Tablet in Cyrus' hands was tied to his disciple, Zander's, life and had just broken, signifying his death.
He stared at the Life Tablet for a few minutes, with no change in his expression. His eyes were as still as a lake, not showing any wrath or anger, as he had foreseen this situation as soon as Zander escaped the Sect.
'Sigh… If only I had stopped him back then, he might still be alive.' Cyrus thought while pinching the bridge of his nose.
However, he knew there was nothing he could do even if he captured Zander and brought him back to the Sect. His mind was already too far gone by that point, and if he didn't kill Mira soon, he'd lose his sanity and be completely useless.
