"Task failed!"
Yin Yi had already returned to his base, his energy flagging, clearly having used a secret technique, paying a not insignificant price.
"Why did it fail?"
The silhouette of the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter appeared.
"Xu Yan's strength was stronger than estimated, plus a Wan Family expert intervened. I had to use a secret technique just to escape…"
Yin Yi said with a heavy voice.
"You stay here to heal your wounds. Once you have recovered, I'll assign a new task."
The Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter commanded.
"Yes, my lord!"
A task failure was not usually something that would bother the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter, as no one could guarantee a one hundred percent success rate for tasks.
But, ever since a traitor had emerged, he had to be more cautious.
Leaving Yin Yi to recuperate at the base, the Five-Leaf Heavenly Slaughter and the rest of the people at the base silently left and lurked elsewhere.
