Yang Qi's words took Gu An by surprise.
There was actually such a matter in between.
However, he grew curious: "Didn't this person have both hands crippled? Killing is easy, but to behead someone seems difficult, doesn't it?"
"One hand was merely broken bones, it healed after a year," Yang Qi replied offhandedly.
Gu An nodded, then added:
"Afterward, when he betrayed the Sect, wouldn't they hunt him down?"
"Logically, they should, as after all, his was a betrayal through killing. If it were just an ordinary betrayal, perhaps no one would bother," Yang Qi pondered and then continued: "As for the Sect, they can't stop someone from betraying.
After all, leaving the Sect to complete a task and then never returning...
The Sect wouldn't know whether you were dead or had betrayed.
So, betrayal isn't important; the Sect's gates are there, and you are free to leave if you wish, no one will stop you.
What's important is what you did.
