"Weren't you able to rescue that disciple from the Jasper Pool Sect?"
"I stalled for so long to help you, yet I never expected you'd be the one to run into trouble this time."

In a neighborhood of low, green-brick and tile-roofed houses in Anyang City.

He let out a long sigh of relief only after confirming that the terrifying woman wasn't pursuing him.
This was the slums of Anyang City. It was simple and crude, filled with green-brick and tile-roofed houses that stood in stark contrast to the distant, brilliantly lit palace pavilions wreathed in mist and clouds.
