After dealing with the bodies, they set off for the Xiang Dynasty.
Not long after they left the vicinity of the Five Elements Domain, a group of people arrived and surrounded the corpses hanging from the trees.
The leader, upon seeing his own people dead and displayed in such a manner, turned ashen with rage, cursing at Xiang Qiyan's people on the spot.
"This is outrageous, utterly outrageous! Xiang Qiyan, Lord Yaan, don't think you can survive just because someone is helping you. Daring to be so arrogant in front of our master, you're not far from death yourself!"
Having cursed his fill, he finally let out a heavy sigh.
"Take them down and bury them right here."
If it weren't for other subordinates present, he would have liked to curse out 'useless fools'.
He had only sent them to keep watch, yet they had failed even at that, letting someone silence them forever. If he had known, he would have assigned someone with a higher cultivation level to watch over them.
