Disappointed, Ye Weiming noted that Duan Xiyang, whom he had eliminated, did not reappear before them. He had hoped to exploit the situation a little.
However, this disappearance seemed to align with the modus operandi of Jiang Jinjiu, the true puppet master behind the scenes.
After briefing his team of their situation, Ye Weiming conducted the Xueshan Jinwu combination to the outskirts of a courtyard within the Wan Jie valley. They quietly waited not far from the trio of notorious villains for further news from San Yue.
In the meantime, Ye Weiming received two pigeons from Sheng Tianbanzi and Yin Bukui, both informing him from different perspectives that Jiu Mozhi held an extremely high status in the original storyline. As per conservative estimates, Jiu Mozhi was no less formidable than the Five Greats of the Martial World, if not more so.
