44 Loosing an energy vein 3 (1/2)

The great spill council sat almost immediately. When Lord Kan walked in and saw the gathering, he paled.

”Lord Kan...” one of the councilmen started to say.

”Please.. spare me... I have no idea how it happened!” Lord Kan fell on his knees and started to beg.

”So, you mean to say, this was not some joke? The branch vein you are in charge of dried?” a woman seated amongst the council asked with a frown.

”Yes...” Lord Kan answered.

”Do you think we are children? Even a great sect outside the demon lands would be unable to dry a branch vein as quickly as you said!” another councilman said.

”How long did it take for the branch vein to dry?” asked the the second of the only two woman on the council. She unlike the others, did not seem panicked at all. Instead, she looked completely calm.

”Ten breaths of time...” Lord Kan bowed his head and said in a whisper.

”What!” the first councilman raged.

”Do you think we will take your word for it because you say so? Lady Aj. You said you sent your disciple to take a look. What was the result?” one of the councilmen asked the second woman.

”She will return with the answer.” Lady Aj said.
