Lian stood quietly while another commander was eviscerated on black stone table. His screams were ongoing while his organs were carefully set aside in jade bowls. His black blood was pouring like a river into several vats below.
It simply made less mess but Lian and learned long ago her current ruler was unforgiving of mistakes.
A Raptor had gone missing. The issue the commander had, however, was he simply assumed they were exploring some cavern or other area for more tasty cultivators. Beasts could work for them and certainly had higher quality but were not as effective as cultivators.
Still, he did not report it for over a month before he decided to go looking. Nothing was found and no idea where in their patrol they had gone missing. Any Qi traces of battle or accident were long gone.
If wreckage had been found, he might have avoided his current predicament but the complete lack of even a sliver of damage proved the Raptor was taken somewhere.
