They sent word just as the group entered Nanping City. Lu Li had already gone to Golden Peace Temple, and they had found no one lurking in the shadows.
Of course, they also knew Kong An had returned.

Previously, Kong An had traveled a great distance just to find Luo Bin.

"I think... she might end up worse than dead."
"That red-robed female Taoist hasn't come out since she was dragged into the side hall."
"The Taoist in the red robe with purple trim, the one who was half a step from becoming a perfected master, went mad. He's been running around the Martial Arts Arena catching mice, centipedes, scorpions, and toads to eat..."
"Squeak, squeak!" Fourth Master Gray shrieked twice, his fur standing on end.
The two men took turns recounting everything that had happened at the Old Temple.
Hu Jin swallowed repeatedly.
Zhang Yunxi continued tapping his fingers against the table.
