When Chi Yu Xing Hen learned of the worst news, his face turned ashen as if it were iron.
"Are you sure you saw Ming Step being captured alive with your own eyes?!"
"Yes, I saw it," the subordinate replied.
Shang Youya's face was also extremely grim. They both understood the implications of their comrade being captured alive.
"Ming Step is not someone who fears death easily."
Chi Yu Xing Hen's expression was grave, and he said coldly, "Besides, this mission was just to assassinate a minor Qi Gathering Realm Martial Artist. Theoretically and practically, failure was impossible."
He paused and added, "Even considering the worst-case scenario, if she did fail, she had enough time to bite down on the explosives in her mouth and die for our clan. But now that she's been captured alive, what kind of a profound cultivation must one possess to make Ming Step unable to even commit suicide? She should have had enough time."
