Outside the abandoned manor.
The white fox leapt lightly and landed on a thick branch.
"I should be able to take care of him by using that clone's strength. However, we'll have to think about the issues that'll surely arise after we've dealt with the envoy. The main sect won't let this matter rest."
"Of course. However, as long as the Mother of Pain stands her ground, we'll be safe." From a nearby tree, a black python as thick as a water bucket slithered out. Its eyes were like two blots of ink; they were extremely black.
"However… that envoy. I can't help but feel that I've seen him somewhere before… He looked familiar…" The white fox had an unexplainable anxious feeling in his heart.
"Perhaps we've met him when we were harvesting souls with the daughter body?" the huge python asked.
The white fox thought to itself. It then opened its mouth to answer.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise. The ground started shaking.
