The day broke.
Immortal Forest Town was as quiet as the dead.
Every household had tightly shuttered windows and doors, and not a single shop along the street had yet to open.
Only some government officials in armor could be seen resting on the street.
Inside a house.
A dozen or so Inner Sect Disciples of Divine Sword Sect were gathered together.
Nearly every one of them was injured, clearly having been through a fierce battle.
"Alas, we somewhat miscalculated this time. Who would have thought that old fellow reached Half-step Innate and also practiced a secret technique that could stimulate potential, allowing him to escape."
Pang Bai's bald head still bore traces of blood that he had not yet had a chance to clean.
Although all the followers of the Sacrificial Fire Temple had been eliminated.
The prime target, the temple master, Daoist Ye Huo, had escaped.
Essentially, this meant their mission was a failure.
