The wee hours of the night.
A blind man walked into the temple as the sounds of a bamboo pole striking the floor echoed. He put down his clothes in his hand, declaring, "Don't speak. Put on the clothes."
Shi Xiaole tensed up. For the first time, he truly felt the mystery of the Demon Alliance.
The blind man did not just arrive, but had circled around the area, entering only after his unique perception confirmed that there was no third person present. As he was blind, this assured that no one had seen Shi Xiaole.
Shi Xiaole put on the hooded black robe and the facial mask, meandering inside the temple with the blind man. At one point, a sudden strike from the bamboo pole left Shi Xiaole unconscious.
When he came to, he found himself in a valley surrounded by mountains, his weapons nowhere to be seen.
