บท 199: Uncovering the Truth

Elder Qiao answered, "Patriarch, what the trader said is true. He did give me Hushroot Blossom, but that powder disappeared from my treasury. Please help me find the culprit."

The patriarch had no choice. He said, "We will go to the Ancestor's Hall, and the Heavenly Treasure will give us the truth."
