"Ye Xuan, why go to such extremes when leaving some leeway could suffice? Grant some face to my Emperor Xi Sect and let today's issue end here; I will surely never trouble you again."
Cornered and with nowhere to run, Sound Saint sought to compromise with Ye Xuan, thinking that as long as there are greens in the mountains, one needn't worry about fueling the fire; as long as he could escape with his life this time, he wouldn't worry about a chance to make a comeback. But if he let Ye Xuan finish him off here, then there wouldn't be any chance at all.
"Grant you face? I gave you plenty of face before, but you wasted your chances. You even schemed against Xuantian Sect behind my back, trying to stab me in the back. How could I let you go today?"
