At the site where Reon had slaughtered Niu Ling's men, the air still reeked of dried blood and death.
A group of twenty elite cultivators, clad in deep blue robes emblazoned with the Miu Family crest, stood in a loose formation.
At their center was Elder Miu Bin, a stern old man with a long, silver beard and piercing eyes, flanked by the captains of Squad Four and Squad Six—Miu Lin and Miu Jin.
"So... this is where the last signal of Young Master Miu Jiang was traced?" Elder Bin asked, his voice sharp and weathered with age.
"Yes, Elder," replied Captain Miu Lin, bowing respectfully. "The Tracking Talisman embedded in his Spatial Ring led us here."
Elder Bin wrinkled his nose and raised a hand to cover it, his face twisting in distaste. "Ugh… This place reeks of blood."
