In a secret chapel in Europe, several core members of the Blood Covenant headquarters were holding a serious and deep meeting.
"Gentlemen, I believe you've already received the news, His Excellency the Palace Master led the Four Knights to vanish in Huaxia, and I'm afraid they've met with misfortune."
As these words were said, everyone present fell into silence, a mix of anger, gravity, or suspicion spreading in their hearts.
The Palace Master was also considered a core member, and he would normally be qualified to attend such a high-level meeting.
But now, his seat was empty, he had fallen in a foreign land, and not even his body could be recovered, a matter of great regret.
"The Palace Master's fall is indeed a great pity, but personal life and death, honor and disgrace, are ultimately minor concerns. I hope that everyone present realizes the true nature of the facts," said one Elder.
