Ancient Clan, residence of the Black Annihilation Army commander.
A black-robed old man stepped into the room.
He bowed respectfully to the white-haired old man before him.
Then he walked to the desk.
Rolling up his sleeves, he picked up a brush and dipped it in ink...
He bent over the desk and began sketching and writing.
Half an hour later.
A portrait came vividly to life on the paper.
The black-robed old man handed the paper to the white-haired old man and pointed at the lower-right corner.
The white-haired old man's gaze swept venomously over the lines of writing before finally fixing on the last two words!
The white-haired old man took out a Storage Ring, handed it to the black-robed old man, and nodded.
The black-robed old man vanished.
Neither of them said a word throughout, yet the information had already been conveyed!
Just as the white-haired old man stepped out of the courtyard.
An old man leaning on a cane appeared before him.
"Elder Tong Xuan, why are you here?"
"Ling Shui, let this matter concerning your grandson end here. Don't keep escalating it."
Tong Xuan supported himself with one hand on his cane, while the other rested behind his back.
"Not long ago, the young lady made her stance clear at the council of elders. Whoever dares act against that person will be declaring war on her!"
Declaring war?
Ling Shui sneered inwardly. Then had his grandson died for nothing?
"Rest assured, Elder Tong Xuan. I am a man who keeps his promises."
But he added inwardly, for the sake of revenge, I can also be a man who breaks his word and goes back on his promises!
"That's good." Tong Xuan nodded and turned to leave.
"Yun Shan! You... why are you here too?"
