The gap in power left Lin Buyan without a choice. He had vowed to devote his entire life to the Lingxiao Sword Sect. He abhorred his identity within the Xuanyin Department with every fiber of his being. Fear of Fox Er spreading the knowledge of his dual identity was secondary only to his fear of the despairing gazes of his fellow cult members and disciples.

Due to his prominent position in the martial world, his records were destroyed on the spot. Fox Er promised Lin Buyan that as long as no major disturbances occurred, his identity within the Xuanyin Department would never see the light of day, and he would remain only as the leader of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
One hibernation card was given.
