Gu Xing got on his knees in front of the demon lord, Xu Long. "Forgive me, My Lord! I failed to bring Wu Jingyun with me," Gu Xing said with his head down. Behind him, the other minions were standing with their heads low.
"I told you not to get failed!" Xu Long growled at him and killed all his minions, by taking their souls. Xu Long felt better, a bit stronger, and more energetic. "I need a strong cultivator to gather my strength. Wu Jingyun was the one, who made me go weak with his weapon," he muttered as he threw the last body away.
Gu Xing turned to Xu Long and said, "I would have brought him here if the other two hadn't come to his rescue, My Lord."
"Who?" Xu Long asked as he ran his fingers through his disheveled hair before turning. He gazed into Gu Xing's eyes.
"The Third and Fourth Martial Warriors, My Lord," Gu Xing answered.
"Why is your wrist injured?" Xu Long asked.
