1802 Poisoned 3 (1/2)
What the personality of the Shadow Moon Palace Lord was like could not have been any clearer to Elder Yue. Although the Shadow Moon Palace needed powerful disciples, there was one prerequisite no matter how powerful the disciple was!
And that was absolute compliance to the Palace Lord's orders!
For Jun Wu Xie to have left the dungeon on her own, it was as good as a slap upon the Shadow Moon Palace Lord's face. The Shadow Moon Palace Lord had done away with punishment by torture purely because of the power Jun Wu Xie held and now that Jun Wu Xie had escaped from the dungeon, how could the Shadow Moon Palace Lord be able to tolerate it?
It was completely a case of taking a foot when given an inch.
”My Lord, Chang Huan's personality is just too arrogant and insusceptible to discipline. Although he possesses exemplary powers, but with someone so uncontrollable, if he is allowed to continue to remain in the palace, I'm afraid…..” Elder Yue looked like he was hesitant to speak.
But the unfinished words continued to prick at the Shadow Moon Palace Lord's nerves. He was prone to suspicion and especially at a time when his body was feeling unwell, the insubordination from any of the Shadow Moon Palace's disciples seemed to be a challenge to his authourity, like they were telling him that he was about done in and there was no need to pay any attention to his words.
”Where is Chang Huan now?” The Shadow Moon Palace Lord's face had darkened completely and although his body was feeling weak, his teeth gritting hatred was highly obvious to see.
”Your subordinate does not know.” Elder Yue fought hard to contain the glee in his heart, to reply in feigned sternness.
He had thought that Jun Wu Xie's escape from the dungeon had caused his plans to fail once more but from the way things looked now, the break out had instead angered the Palace Lord. With that, even if Elder Yue did not do anything himself, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord would not be able to tolerate such a unruly disciple who could not be controlled to continue to remain within the Shadow Moon Palace.
”Guards! Cough cough…..” With the intense rage wrecking upon his heart, the Shadow Moon Palace Lord's condition that had just shown some improvement took a turn for the worse once more, intermittent coughs causing him to be unable to finish the words he wanted to say completely.
”Go….. cough cough….. dig….. cough….. Chang Huan….. cough….. out…..” The Shadow Moon Palace Lord opened his mouth to say as he wheezed heavily, before he smashed a fist onto the bedside in rage.
