Seeing Qian Jiyun stand up, Gui Sihu was so frightened that he turned and ran out, ranting as he ran until Qian Jiyun struck him down with his whip, and he couldn't rise again no matter what.
Qian Jiyun was ruthless, and even though he did not kill Gui Sihu outright, it was absolutely impossible for him to stand up again.
The startled cries scared the Elders senseless.
They, too, wanted to run, but their legs would not obey them, and they dared not run, knowing they would share the same fate as Gui Sihu if they did.
Although they knew that even if they didn't run, they might not end up with a good fate, at least they could die quickly.
…
It wasn't long before Gui Sihu confessed a lot.
The war that year was indeed brutal; three countries suffered significant losses, and they all blamed the Yiinn Family.
They believed that without the Yiinn Family's interference, their losses would not have been so heavy, and they might have even unified the Plant Plane.
