"Hmph!" A heavy snort came again from the man in black.
This immediately caused the heart of the old man in red, who was prostrating on the ground, to lurch violently, his back drenched in cold sweat.
"You may leave, but remember to accept your punishment from Xue Li, and tell him to recall all the members who are currently out there. Without my order, none of you are allowed to step out of this manor during this time."
"Yes! Thank you, Sect Hierarch, for sparing my life!"
Upon hearing the man in black's command, immense relief washed over the old man in red.
He knew that since the Hierarch had spoken to him this way, it meant that he had truly secured his life and no longer needed to endure the terrifying punishments of the sect.
As for Xue Li, that was not much of an issue either.
Because the old man in red believed that, with his current position in the sect, as long as the Hierarch didn't genuinely wish to harm him, Xue Li would not truly do anything to him.
