"Now, Eternal Blossom Sect Leader, I extend the same offer to you. Choose, will you accept the treasure and my control over you or will you sacrifice both of your disciples?"
Chen Lao questioned with a clever smile while the Eternal Blossom Sect Leader had a conflicted expression on his face.
He pondered on the choice before yelling out his answer: "I refuse! I'll choose death if it means I can escape a life of humiliation and slavery. My disciples will surely understand my decision. Go ahead kill us all"
Determination reflected in his voice that showed his resolve. For him, his honor was more important than even his own life.
Chen Lao nodded in understanding as he gestured the elder to proceed.
The elder, receiving his signal, conjured a sword made of blood in his hand before slicing the head of one of the protagonists.
Spurt!
Thud!
