Lord Xiong stood with his hands clasped behind his back, exhibiting an air of detachment, as if the affair had nothing to do with him. Hoping for him to step in and speak up was utterly unrealistic.
In this moment of dire crisis, Mo Yun stood up and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Xue Wang to be this serious. Very well, we'll do as he asks. However, this lad has only joined the Devil Cult not long ago. It's a bit much to ask him to perform such cruelty. How about I do it? I can assure you'll be satisfied. After all, I've been with the Devil Cult for a long time and have more blood on my hands." Having said this, Mo Yun walked up to the terrified child and struck down with a palm, killing the child on the spot.
Gu Fan said nothing nor did he try to stop her. He wasn't indifferent; he was simply powerless. What's more, even speaking a single word in defense of the child would put him in danger.
