Xie Xuanyi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his face expressionless as he said, "Didn't you think about suppressing the news?"
"A total of 314 were killed."
Zong Bi's voice trembled slightly.
After the Soul Stationing Technique took effect, he could not lie. As the black sword intent rippled out from the center of his brows, Zong Bi's trembling voice returned to normal.
He said slowly, "At first, I wanted to build a mansion specifically to keep the tributes, but this idea was rejected by Daoist Qian Yuan."
"Why was it rejected?" Xie Xuanyi frowned.
"Each tribute is designated by Daoist Qian Yuan."
Zong Bi lowered his eyes and said, "Every month, Daoist Qian Yuan would compile a list and send it to the City Lord Mansion. I had to deliver the tributes to the Hehuan Sect according to this list, which was divided into two parts."
One part was the living human cauldrons that needed to be sent to the Hehuan Sect.
