By the time Lu Changsheng and the others arrived at the mortal village, the message from Huang Qian had already been sent over.
The series of events that had occurred, as well as the matter of the blood-colored token.
"Let Xiang Liu go and check it out, the token might reveal some important matters," said Huang Qian through the voice transmission jade pendant. "I understand, he's already on his way. It's just... I'm very sorry, I was too careless and didn't leave any survivors."
Lu Changsheng did not blame her and soothed, "It's fine. If they're dead, then so be it. According to Liu Ziru, they were but expendable pawns, and what they could have known is likely quite limited."
Upon hearing this, Huang Qian felt a warmth in her heart and softly "Hmm" in response.
Lu Changsheng then put away the jade pendant.
At that moment, on the muddy road of the mortal village, the village chief came up to greet them, smiling, "Oh? Fellow Daoist Lu is here again, welcome, welcome."
