"At that time, it will be a disaster for our Palace of the Four Cycles!"
Ember's voice carried an unprecedented heaviness. The arrogance and pride she once displayed had been ground down by reality, leaving behind a cold, decisive resolve.
Sorrel's eyes narrowed, killing intent surging like a tide.
"In that case, for the future of our four clans, we must not let Alina and the others leave this place alive."
Eryon frowned deeply. His tone was calm, but the tension in his clenched jaw betrayed his unease.
"Alina is the personal disciple of the White Emperor. If the White Emperor discovers that she died at our hands, the Palace of the Four Cycles will face annihilation."
Sorrel sneered. "This is the Training Trial Secret Realm. If they die here, who can prove it was us? Even if the White Emperor's methods reach the heavens, how would he know the cause of Alina's death?"
