Looking at Hong Shi's agitated appearance, Xuan Ming was deeply conflicted and said:
"Hong Shi, I wasn't captured alive by the 9-Nation Nobility. I was captured by Ximen Qing and Wu Ling'er. Lian Fengchen was captured too. Now, Lian Fengchen and I have defected to Magma Island. The reason I came here is to carry out Ximen Qing's order to slaughter the ancestral land's army. Considering that we are old acquaintances, I will spare your life. Go!"
The reason Xuan Ming chose to let Hong Shi go was in the hope that Hong Shi would tell Wu Tianchou that he and Lian Fengchen had betrayed the ancestral land!
That way, everyone in the ancestral land would hate him and wish they could tear him to pieces. Because of this, whenever he encountered people from the ancestral land in the future, he wouldn't need to waste time exchanging pleasantries with old acquaintances first!
Of course!
What he said could also be considered a secret, because he could easily have claimed that Lian Fengchen rescued him, which would allow him to use his status as one of their own to launch sneak attacks on the ancestral land's people!
However, Xuan Ming did not want to do that!
Leaking this secret could also be considered his final act of loyalty to the ancestral land!
