Ghost Head Castle.
Inside an underground fortress.
All of Ghost Head Castle's Core Formation-level leaders were gathered here.
The atmosphere was heavy, all because of a piece of news.
The former Second Cave Master of the Black Ghost Cave was dead, and at the hands of the mysterious Spirit Refiner no less!
"No wonder the Black Ghost Cave was the first to hole up. No wonder it was useless no matter what I said to them," Lan Zhaifen remarked long after she'd heard the news.
A month after the Black Ghost Cave had stopped aiding the Dragon Demon Palace, she had made a special trip to the cave.
Her goal had been to persuade them to rejoin the fight and, at the same time, find out what had happened to make their leaders come to such a decision.
They hadn't learned the reason, so they could only rely on their own speculation.
