"Indeed. We discovered some new clues this time, which was why I had Hong Ying call you over."
Que Zhuo said.
"After listening to you, we quickly divided up and sent more people out to investigate the surrounding area, while hiding ourselves more carefully. Sure enough, we uncovered some traces."
"What are the details?"
"A hundred miles west of Heaven Mountain Peak lies an ancient city. Young Master was brought from that place by Junior Brother Qing Xuan, so I presume you should know it as well."
Ye Tian nodded.
"The additional men we dispatched this time found some traces there. There was an inn where a fair-faced scholar was staying, apparently a Great Dao Alliance Dao Envoy. Besides that, we discovered the Great Dao Alliance's assassin group. Their leader was a taciturn young man. There was nothing remarkable about him, but that was precisely the foremost requirement of an assassin. Nothing special was the greatest special."
When the sect master read that portion of the intelligence, the moment Ye Tian heard the word scholar, he thought of the scholar who had shared hardship with him.
And that supposedly taciturn young man made him think of Xuan Li.
Though both men had some connection to him, those connections were not deep. At the inn, he had remained shut away in his room cultivating for some time before coming out, so his relationship with the scholar had truly been no more than an acquaintance formed through words and ink.
As for Xuan Li, there was even less to say. He had merely been a companion who joined midway through the journey, and Ye Tian truly had little impression of him.
"To help Young Master better understand the targets, my subordinates specifically had each of them drawn."
Que Zhuo said this and
