"Tang Hanpei has gone to war with Bitter Solitude Temple?" Xie Yanbai looked at the report in his hands, somewhat surprised.
Cao Zhengqiu nodded. "A battle between Tang Hanpei and Bitter Solitude Temple was inevitable. Last time, Tang Hanpei stole something from Bitter Solitude Temple and killed Xianluo.
