Mr. Lu said solemnly, "As things stand, the Demon Domain's attack on Taixuan Divine Mountain has nothing to do with the Holy Alliance."
Lin Yan said slowly, "If it's unrelated, then so be it. But if it is connected... this journey of mine will require my blade to be stained with the blood of my kin yet again!"
