"WHY DO YOU want me dead?" Lily asked curiously.
"It wasn't me," Zhao Yuning answered simply. "I thought there wouldn't be a single survivor in the kingdom. I didn't expect a clan that follows the Martial Path to have a summoner as its heir."
"You don't plan on letting your mother and brother live either," Elder Yanshu stated coldly.
As for Lily being a summoner, if he couldn't figure that out after witnessing Silas's abilities, then he had failed as an elder.
Zhao Yuning tilted her head, her expression remaining calm. "I plan to let fate decide whether they live."
She had planned to let the shadows kill them last. If they survived, then it was fate.
If they died, then that was fate too.
Without another word, Zhao Yuning unleashed several shadows.
Black masses poured from beneath her feet and scattered through the forest. Elder Yanshu was already moving, leaving a shattered patch of earth where he had stood as he appeared directly in front of her.
