Lostwind's eyes turned cold and clenched his fist. He controlled his emotions as he needed to prioritize his son's life. After all, it would be a massive hit to their sect once he was killed here.

He told a disciple by his side to deliver the Ancient Sutra. This treasure was no joke to them as it was a very powerful treasure. In all actuality, the sect master wouldn't even take this out and give if not for his son's life in great danger.

Soon, the sutra was delivered to the palace master and he said, "It has been delivered. Now time to let go of my son."

After retrieving his son, he would use his sect's strongest attack formation immediately and kill this man. Before he could react, they already took his life. Next would be the palace if they thought of keeping the sutra in their hands.

It was already organized and the troops were ready to the command. But Jin Rou saw this through and laughed, "I never said that I will release your son if you give us the Ancient Sutra, though?"

"Are you reneging?" Lostwind's patience was getting thinner. It was already limited in the first place.

"Reneging? No. To begin with, I never said something about releasing your son with the trade of your sutra. Did I say something like that?" Jin Rou looked at Windchild Scion with a meaningful eyes.

The latter immediately understood it and shook his head, "No..."

Lostwind looked at his son. He really looked pathetic that even the heir of second rate powerhouse would carry his person better. What did he experience to actually break down like this?

He needed to capture the young man to have his answers. But it wasn't important as of now, "So what do you want to release my son?"

His son was too precious. He was willing to fall back and suffer as long as he could get his son alive. Of course, things would be different once his son was saved.

Jin Rou smiled sinisterly as he looked at crowd behind Lostwind, "If you want your son's life, then how about you kill half of the people behind you? You're free to choose who to kill. If you do this, you can have your son back."

The palace master and the elders revealed a horrified expression. They didn't expect this kind of request! To actually kill one's kin? Wouldn't the sect master become the sinner of the sect then?

"Are you out of your damn mind?" Even Lostwind was caught off guard. He thought of many possible requests but this was off the charts! Who would be willing to kill their own kin for a benefit? Not to mention, the people behind him was the greatest legion their sect had. If he severed them by half, their power would be affected tremendously.

After all, each of the three legion members behind him had a vital role in the sect.

"Then, you watch your son get killed by me slowly." Jin Rou gripped the scion's neck which made the latter struggle, "If that legion is more important than this guy, feel free to walk away now if you don't want to watch this son of yours dying."

"Bastard!" Lostwind lost all his cool when he saw his son being grabbed by the neck. His aura exploded making the air vibrate. His eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to attack. He wanted to go all in or nothing.

If not for the person hiding warning him not to be this hasty, he would have already attacked.

"If you attack, your son will die. And not just him, all of your legion members will die, too." A voice whispered to him.

"Then how can I save my son?" Lostwind was agitated to the extreme.

"There's only one way. Kill half of your legion. Just think about it, your son is more precious than the lives of them. If you act indecisive, you won't have your son back alive." The voice answered. It was suggesting the most realistic way out, "Of course, under the premise that the person is willing to let go all of you."

"Then what if he is not?" Lostwind asked.

"I will appear to save the two of you at least." The voice responded, "Nevermind the losses. As long as you can take the scion back into your sect, we can just plan the revenge later on."

It got a point. Right now, his son was still at Jin Rou's mercy and he could be killed in one wrong move.

"Half of them, right?" Lostwind took a deep breath and asked.

"Nope, that has expired already since you cannot be decisive enough to carry the weight." Jin Rou chuckled, "So, kill all of your legion now."

The jump of request was terrifying. No, it was not even a request. It was a mandatory order to save his son's life.historical

"Hurry. My patience is getting out of stock." Jin Rou smiled. He tightened his grip which made the scion squeal.

"Damn fine!" Lostwind cursed loudly as he looked at his legion, "My soldiers, I'm sorry but I have to do this."

The soldiers were terrified. Though they were ready to die in battle, they were not ready to die in their commander's hands! That's not how it worked.

Soon, blood painted the sky red as Lostwind massacred his entire troops. The blood also painted the ground with dead bodies piling up. He gave them an easy death as compensation.

The spectators not far away shuddered in fear because of this. Since there's a noise blocking barrier, they couldn't hear what's going on but they saw that Lostwin Sectmaster just killed his entire legion with his own hands! What's going on?

Seeing this, Jin Rou smirked and loose his grip on the scion's neck, "It's easy, isn't it? If you just complied a while ago, half of your legion will still be alive by now. Ah, that's too bad for them having indecisive leader."

Lostwind was looking at Jin Rou thick killing intent as he said, "Now, hand my son over."

It was the time for Jin Rou to meet the end of the deal.
