When the disciples saw how badly Steward Ma had been beaten, they were terrified and immediately fled a great distance. Ma Jiang's status within the Sect was second only to a few Grand Chief Stewards, and he had close relationships with them, such as Gao Yunchao. If this lord were to kill them on the spot, it was likely no one would hold him accountable!
Lin Xuankong glanced at the haughty Steward Ma, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you, Master!"
Then, he quickly walked into the courtyard. After several turns, he arrived at the storeroom door and looked down at the scattered bloodstains and some blood-stained Darts on the ground. He carefully inspected the surroundings. Seeing no one else around, he secretly activated the Manluo Demon Pearl, controlling the extending Manluo Demon Grass to wrap around a Flying Saber. When he sensed a reaction from the Demon Grass, he decisively retracted it and walked out of the courtyard.
