"He was there that day, the day the Shu family was supposedly annihilated by blood-fiend cultivators.
He liked meeting up with Shu Wen every two days and that night was one of their scheduled meetups. He always used a coat made from the silk produced by a shadow cloak spider. It was a gift he received from the royal family of the Blue Spear kingdom.
With it, he could move undetected from those in the core formation realm since it isolated the user from being detected by either the physical senses or the spiritual senses.
He liked to use it to avoid the extra attention of those from the Shu family or Tang family if they knew he had come out to meet Shu Wen.
That night, he thought it would just be like every other night where he would get to share snow jasmine tea, and warm rice wine with Shu Wen like they always did as they envisioned the heights they would reach as cultivators and other things but there was a major alteration to his expected plans.
