A month passed swiftly and silently. During that month, everything remained as peaceful as expected. Even with the Nine Nether Nether Python Clan joining the investigation into the Soul Hall, the results were far from encouraging. This time, the Soul Hall seemed to have completely withdrawn all its forces.

"Take good care of the alliance."
