Theron sat in silent meditation. He hadn't just killed three people last night; he had killed more than a dozen. Some of them were far weaker than himself, but there were a decent number that were quite a bit more powerful.
Though, it could be said that the highest difficulty kills had nothing to do with the strength of the target themselves, but rather the security. The maid servant was without a doubt the hardest kill.
As for why Theron had done it… it was necessary.
A lot of the information he had gathered about the Sect was thanks to Ruu. Originally, when Ruu wanted to join the Obsidian Eclipse Sect to find the information she was looking for, there were two paths. Either she became a disciple, or she found a disciple to latch onto.
If she chose the former, it would be too difficult to hide her tracks properly, so she chose the latter. At that point, it was just a matter of which disciple she chose to latch onto.
