"Brother Lin, there's something I must tell you," Xiao Qiang said solemnly.
"Elder Lie Yan has betrayed the Righteous Path alliance," Xiao Qiang announced. However, before he could continue, Lin Xuanshuang intercepted, "Yes, I am aware. Wen Gaoxuan, the sect master of Shanyin Sect, has already slain him." Yet the fact that he couldn't personally exact revenge against Elder Lie Yan remained a lingering regret.
