[Master, I have been eliminated.]
The seventh-tier genius of the Wood Spirit Palace, Hou Ziang, was eliminated from the Seven Kills Secret Realm after being killed twice consecutively by Xu Jin.
Though fearing his master's rebuke, Hou Ziang quickly returned. Upon reaching a location covered by Starlight from the Star-picking Tower, he reported the matter to his master, the Palace Master Chi Lei of the Wood Spirit Palace.
Failure and elimination signify an issue of capability.
It can also be explained as the enemy being too cunning.
At most, his master would give him the cold shoulder for a while.
But if he conceals and fails to report, it's an issue of attitude and intelligence, causing the master to completely give up on him thereafter.
Upon receiving the Starlight Transmission, the Wood Spirit Palace Master was startled and naturally inquired about the details first.
