"Vice Commander Zhang, are you saying that, apart from the missing Sect Leader, all dozens of our Heixuan Gate members have perished, leaving me as the sole survivor?"
Li Hanshao took some time to sort out the events that had unfolded before him, then finally asked the soul-searching question.
"Correct, and moreover, we have reason to suspect that your Heixuan Gate Sect Leader colluded with the Demon Race, causing the death of the other disciples. Young man, bear the sorrow and move on."
Vice Commander Zhang patted Li Hanshao's shoulder again, left four Black Armored Guards to keep watch over Heixuan Gate, and led the others to the City Lord's Mansion to report overnight.
The destruction of a middle-rank sect was something he, as the Deputy Commander of the southern district of the city, could not take lightly.
...
Ye Feng ran all the way and finally returned to the City Lord's Mansion by midnight.
