"Sect Leader, I was wrong. I'll never act on my own again. I'm begging you, please spare me!"
Like a frightened beast, Elder Huo crawled on trembling limbs to the Sect Leader's feet, his voice filled with pleading.
"I was only trying to do what was best for the Upper Evil Sect this time! I truly had no other intentions, I..."
The Sect Leader said nonchalantly, "Were you really doing it for the good of the Upper Evil Sect?"
Elder Huo opened his mouth but hesitated. "I..."
The Sect Leader raised a hand, cutting him off. "You practiced the Wild Daoist Technique," he said indifferently, "for no other reason than to claim credit in this affair. Once the Upper Evil Sect truly allies with the Wild Taoist Sect, you could then rake in your own benefits."
Elder Huo stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.
