ealing stone for him, causing him to live within an inch of death. Even if Xie Qian Qiu moved back to the Xie Clan, he would not die easily. Seeing that there was an additional finger mark between Xie Qian Qiu’s Eyebrows, Yue Yang reckoned that the Xie Clans’ masters had broken his skull to prevent him from dying an excruciating death, delivering a blow that released him from pain.
Xie Tao’s entire face was contorted with pain. He held back his tears and bowed to Jun Wu You, saying, “Your Highness, that year, you sent your humble servant to guard Blade Mountain City, your humble servant has been cautious and conscientious for the past few decades.
