Leading the group, Fang La feigned some manners before harshly speaking, "I've heard that Lord Chen was injured in a fierce battle with demons yesterday. We've come to show some concern, after all, Lord Chen carries a holy mandate and must not fail. If His Majesty investigates, those of us escorting him bear some responsibility."

"Yesterday in battle, several great demons appeared outside the city. I gave my all to hold them off, giving you the chance to move near Ancestor Mountain and eliminate demon remnants. And what happened?"
"You took Daqian's elite Heavenly Army, only to be surrounded and defeated by a bunch of little demons, returning in disgrace and wasting my efforts and injuries."
"You've utterly shamed the Heavenly Family."
