Time flowed like water, gently passing by.
Unnoticed, two years had gone by, without any trace of Lin Xiao being found, either amongst the natives or the Sons of the Divine Realm. Even among the many descending beings spread throughout the Primary Material Plane, there were no messages to be had.
The White Snake Sect sent people to surveil Li Mei, who was related to Lin Xiao, to see if the target could be waited out. However, over these two years, Li Mei had remained in her clan's small town. Those sent to monitor had been there for nearly two years, and everyone in the town, from the mayor down to the beggars, recognized them. The identities of outsiders entering the town were mostly traceable, and no suspicious individuals had been seen.
This led White Snake and the others to once believe that Lin Xiao had returned, but a message from a covert channel informed them that Lin Xiao had not yet returned.
"Carrying on like this won't do!"
