Elder of Beauty Deva Squad

Back in the demonic sect Blood Boar Sect side, Xi Na's body trembled as she knelt inside the dimly lit cavern, her wrists shackled with cold iron.

The demonic path cultivators of the Blood Boar Sect stood around her in a half-circle, their expressions twisted with contempt and amusement.

The leader of the group, a man with blazing blood-red eyes and a black cloth mask covering the lower half of his face, stepped forward, his voice dripping with condescension.

"Disciple Xi Na," he drawled, his tone like poisoned honey, "your reasoning for not activating the demonic orb within the Autumn Dragon Sect has been found lacking. Your hesitation has cost us valuable time and resources. Do you understand the severity of your failure?"

Xi Na swallowed hard but remained silent. She knew better than to argue. Her fate was already sealed.
