Capítulo 23: Leaving the Sect, Encountering Bandits

"This time, I came here regarding our journey to the Beifeng Empire," Xuanyuan Quanlong said with a grave expression.

"What's the matter?" Qin Shu inquired.

"We have assembled a team of six people now, but..."

"But what?"

"Besides the four of us, Senior Brother Zhao He will also be part of the mission. And there's Shi Qianfeng, the one you spared earlier, who is also joining."

"That's great, isn't it? The Beifeng Empire is his homeland. There's nothing wrong with returning home," Qin Shu replied with a sigh of relief. He had been concerned that the war might have halted the transport of goods to the Beifeng Empire, which could have posed a threat to him within the sect.

After all, there was no concrete evidence linking him to Wang He's death at present, so Wang Ho couldn't directly accuse him of murder.

"Unfortunately, there's more bad news," Xuanyuan Quanlong added, his worry evident on his face.
