Li Xiao had practically turned the Cai Family upside down, yet he still found no trace of the Token.
He straightened up, his gaze sweeping over the ruins as they gradually grew clearer in the morning light. After a moment of silence, he finally abandoned the idea of continuing his search.
Since the Token was neither on the Cai Family Old Ancestor nor in the residence, there was only one possibility:
The Cai Family had moved it elsewhere beforehand.
Suppressing his irritation, he turned and sped toward the Golden Blade Sect.
Searching alone was more than he could manage. He might as well enlist the Golden Blade Sect's help.
Inside the Golden Blade Sect, Sect Master Wang Yuanqiao and several elders had heard of Li Xiao's arrival and were already waiting in the main hall.
When Li Xiao entered the hall, they exchanged glances at the sight of his black clothes and the two bows on his back, their expressions a little more restrained than before.
They had clearly learned that Li Xiao had become a Candidate Saint Son of the Three Origins Sect and made his name in a single battle at the tournament. Their tones and bearing were now much more respectful toward this young man.
Li Xiao dispensed with pleasantries and went straight to the point. "The Cai Family Old Ancestor is dead. The Cai Family has fallen apart."
His gaze swept over those present, his voice calm but carrying unquestionable weight.
"Now, mobilize every available member of the Golden Blade Sect to hunt down the Cai Family. Do not let a single one slip through.
"At the same time, seal off every route out of Mu Province. Do not let any member of the Cai Family escape."
Wang Yuanqiao froze for a moment at those words.
