Earth Luo Star, inside the Star Lord Mansion's main hall.
Fang Tianhe sat in the seat of honor, his brows tightly knit, his face heavy with worry.
He had remained on Earth Luo Star these past few days, quietly investigating traitors and spies. Though he had found several suspicious people, he had yet to uncover the Starry Sky Bandit mole buried deep within.
Worse, Li Yun had sent him a message while investigating the Starry Sky. He had found Black Heaven's spy and was going to draw away the Black Heaven Bandit Group. Since then, Fang Tianhe had heard nothing from him.
The Black Heaven Bandit Group's infamy was immense. Its ranks were packed with experts, and its methods were brutal. Fang Tianhe feared Li Yun could not handle them alone and might be hurt instead.
Just as his thoughts churned with anxiety, a figure in blue silently stepped through the hall's void and landed inside.
The aura was familiar, the bearing upright.
It was Li Yun!
Fang Tianhe's eyes lit up. Seeing Li Yun's blue robes neat and unruffled, and his usual easy composure intact, all his worries vanished. He hurried forward, his voice full of joy and relief.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you're finally back!"
"You were gone so long without a word. I was worried sick!"
Li Yun smiled faintly, looking utterly at ease.
"I'm fine."
"I traded a few blows with the Black Heaven Bandit Group. I wasn't hurt, and I destroyed one of their bases and killed one of their Saint Kings."
"What? You killed a Saint King of the Black Heaven Bandit Group?"
Fang Tianhe was stunned. If he had not known Li Yun well enough to trust that he would not boast idly, he would have thought Li Yun was bluffing.
Were Saint King
