"They've escaped..."
Atop the Jade Platform, the King of Han gazed in the direction of Shangchuan Tang Clan, the corners of his lips curling slightly in a mocking tone:
"Shadow Follower, what is the purpose of my elder brother sending you here?"
"His Majesty has decreed."
The kneeling Shadow Follower spoke calmly, "Do not harm Tang."
"Harm Tang?"
The King of Han laughed, not in anger, and said: "My elder brother is confused? I harm Tang? The Tang Sect is barely short of declaring itself a separate Tang; is that considered harm?"
The Shadow Follower said nothing, merely kneeling in silence without a word.
"My elder brother..."
Sighing deeply, the King of Han shook his head slightly with helplessness, his words tinged with a hint of mockery: "Soft-hearted and kind, he has botched major affairs. If he had exterminated the entire Tang Sect to deter all corners, would he still need to go to such lengths with these schemes? Such mistakes harm the state and the people..."
