Li Jin's voice echoed in the altar, but no one paid any attention.
And in the next moment, the former clan leader walked up to a bodyguard, holding a large bowl. With a small knife, she cut open the bodyguard's wrist, and fresh, crimson blood flowed into the bowl.

Unable to contain herself any longer, she shouted at Lin Mi, "Lin Mi, release me quickly. I only agreed to be the clan leader; I didn't agree to be involved in these strange rituals."
