Who wouldn't hate all of this?"He waves his arm at the Eternal Flame Clan below them."You risked our lives and have not a shred of remorse. You spared Xun Huwen, not because he is your friend's grandson but because you deem him a valuable cultivator! Who are you to decide who is worth more? Why should your words matter more than everyone else's?!""Rain."It rains.In the blink of an eye, the sunny sky is gone, and heavy rain pours down from the heavens without stopping.One word.Just one word."It seems," Patriarch Feng says.
