The screaming frozen human sculpture that used to be the thin boy was identified as Wang Li, an outer sect disciple. The boy had been full of hopes and dreams. All these had now been cut short with no hope for a do-over. This was the end for him, and not even the gods could save him. The elders took away his body, but the damage was done. Not even cleaning the spot of all that had happened was enough to erase this horror from the minds of the other disciples.
The manner in which he was killed was a specific technique only used by the Formless Shadow assassins. These assassins were well known on the Southern continent. Their assassination technique was well documented, and their willingness to kill anyone and anything for the right price was well established. They had even assassinated a previous emperor of the Yulong Empire, the mightiest empire in human history.
