Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Many masters of the criminal underworld had recently died in the Great Joy Dynasty's martial world.
Their bones and sinews had all been shattered, their deaths gruesome.
These were, naturally, Han Feiyu's "masterpieces."
Using the interrogation techniques from Fist of the North Star, he had subjected these masters to brutal "physical questioning."
The process had been far from pleasant, but the results were remarkably effective.
Han Feiyu finally learned where that Union Sect Token had come from.
The token was an admission trial credential issued by the Union Sect—the only immortal cultivation sect within the Great Joy Dynasty's territory.

Driven by that longing, he acted with astonishing speed.

Several days later, outside the Valley of Forgetting Sorrows.
Dozens of people, both men and women, had already gathered at the valley entrance.
Most wore fitted martial attire or long robes, with mixed, uneven auras
