"Haha! Ah!" Liu Xuanji listened to Chu Luochen's words, gave a bitter laugh, sighed deeply, and spoke self-deprecatingly: "Brother Luochen, isn't my Hongjun Sword Furnace just the same? This is indeed the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the sparrow behind! I thought I was clever, but didn't know I had long become prey in the eyes of others. My heart feels no other guilt now, only remorse for not resolutely refusing Xuesha's overtures. If I hadn't secretly connected with Xuesha with the thought of leaving a way out, I wouldn't pour salt into the wound of Celestial Sword Manor when problems arose, nor let my sect end up like today. I am ashamed to face fellow Taoists in the Daoist Realm! Ashamed before the ancestors of the Hongjun within the sect! And ashamed of Spirit Emperor's kindness and trust!"
