「Meanwhile, in Celestial Sea Prefecture.」
A black sedan slowly approached, stopping on a street not far from the Xiaolin Martial Arts Hall.
Inside, Sun Yunyong and Zhao Xuanqi wore black hats, their brims pulled low to obscure their faces.
Zhao Xuanqi gazed out the window in the direction of the Xiaolin Martial Arts Hall.
The once-bustling Xiaolin Martial Arts Hall now had its main gates sealed shut. Two conspicuous paper seals were plastered across them, and two soldiers in Giant Spirit Army uniforms stood guard out front, firearms slung over their backs. Passersby took one look and began to whisper among themselves.
Overnight, the Xiaolin Martial Arts Hall, once a rising power in Celestial Sea Prefecture, had vanished like a puff of smoke. Its assets were seized by the City Defense Army, its core disciples had fled, and its top True Inheritance disciples and Hall Master were nowhere to be found.
