Li Wei bit his lip. 'Alright. For now, have our men fall back. I'll contact you with further information. Also, have the Healers rest for a bit after they're done.' He sent his wisp off.
Lan JiRen waited for him to speak. "Someone set up ambushes for our search parties, all of them. Wang Bin was able to immobilize the attackers, but they committed suicide on the spot."
Lan JiRen pursed his lips in thought. "Were our men the only ones searching."
"Naturally, I'd believe so since it was only our cultivators who had gone missing in that part. Though, Wang Bin didn't elaborate."
"Whoever's behind this really doesn't want anyone interfering… How many of our men were KIA?"
"None. I had a feeling someone would try to stop them, so I sent Semi and Fully-Fledged Immortals only." Li Wei stared down at the notes on the boardroom table.
"So what now?"
