"These are desperate times. We need decisive action."
The City Lord said coldly, "From this moment on, I grant you the authority to command the Molten Rock Guard. You will coordinate with them to exterminate those afflicted with the madness. I am giving you only ten days. If you fail, then even if your Artifact Refining Sect is of great use to me, I will not grant any of you the chance to live."
The Situ Sect Leader quickly averted his gaze, cupped his hands, and said, "As you command."
The City Lord waved his hand, saying no more.
The Situ Sect Leader took the hint and quickly left the hall.
As for the subsequent arrangements, he decided he would first visit the Molten Rock Guard and gather a group of skilled men.
Soon, the vast hall was empty save for the City Lord.
Suddenly, the City Lord clutched his head, his face a mask of savagery and conflict. 'I will not become one of the mad! I refuse!'
