After a while, the members of the Yin Puppet Sect who had been sent out returned.
As expected, the exit by the Big Black Tree had been sealed off, with guards posted there.
A heavy air of gloom and despair loomed over the secret base.
For a small sect like the Yin Puppet Sect, with no more than a dozen members and without even a sect headquarters to call their own, how could they dare to oppose a Great Sect like the Xuanyang Sect? A single elder from the Xuanyang Sect could annihilate the Yin Puppet Sect to the point where not even ashes remained.
Elsewhere, Gao Xiang and Lu Mingshu detailed the situation in the Nine States to each other.
