In the headquarters of the Dark Guards of the Northwestern Province, Li Huai sat in his own room, which had only one window sealed shut, causing the entire atmosphere inside to be very dim and oppressive.
At this moment, a commander of the Dark Guards from the Fusion God Realm was quivering as he saluted Li Huai, "Lord, it is our failure in supervision that allowed Chen Gang, that rebel, to escape and even spread the news throughout Jianghu. Please punish us."
This matter, strictly speaking, was indeed partly the responsibility of the Dark Guards.
When Chen Gang first escaped, they didn't expect it—which was normal, since nobody could imagine that a Divinity Transformation Realm Capital Commandant under the Northwestern Troops would defect. Especially since the Dark Guards had already inspected Chen Gang's identity and found nothing suspicious about him.
