"Acting Matriarch Xia has discovered possible traces of the demonic gang responsible for the attack," Wang Li explained. "She has dispatched a team of their top experts to apprehend them and hopefully locate the missing Song delegation."

A glimmer of hope flickered in Song Jingyan's eyes. This was the first concrete lead they had received. "And… what else?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.
