The second elder, Elder Bao, a woman with silver hair and piercing crimson eyes, inhaled deeply.
"Elder Shao Yun was a disgrace to our sect! A pretender! To think that he dared claim allegiance to a greater demonic sect while hiding among us like a rat…" She clenched her fists. "It is fortunate that you, O Dragon God, have purged him from existence."
