A month ago.
The former Hall Master of Tan County, the clerk, and two instructors had suddenly vanished without a trace. No one had seen them alive, and no bodies had been found!
A month had passed, and the case was still unresolved!
Even the White Whale Martial Arts Hall's higher-ups were being evasive about it.
A place of ill omen...
Tsk.
Wu Dao put away the token and gave a derisive laugh. How could he not know that the Council of Elders had arranged for him to take up his post in Tan City?
But for some reason,
Qi Canghai hadn't intervened. It seemed he wanted Wu Dao to go a few rounds with the Council of Elders and see what he could do.
However...
Neither side knew

On that front,
Qi Canghai seemed to have issued strict orders not to reveal a single detail.
But it didn't matter.
If he investigated thoroughly afterward, there were bound to be traces left behind. He refused to believe he couldn't find it.
Still,
before he went to Tan City to take up his post, there was one more thing to deal with.
Elder Qin's face appeared in his mind.

There was no room for reconciliation whatsoever.

As the saying went,
