Deep within the denser part of the Willow Garden, where the ancient willows grew so thick their branches blocked most of the sunlight, a group of black-robed disciples stood guard around a small clearing.
A subordinate rushed over, breathing hard, and dropped to one knee in front of a handsome young man in luxurious golden robes.
"Young Master Wen, it is done," the subordinate reported, voice trembling with excitement. "We have successfully unsealed the Blood Fox. The binding chains are broken."
Wen Qiming, Young Master of the Wen Clan, leaned back against a willow trunk and let out a low, satisfied laugh. His eyes gleamed with cold amusement.
"Excellent. Thanks to Zhuo Family and their True Unsealing Talisman, we managed to crack the suppression array on the strongest beasts. Now the more that Blood Fox kills, the heavier the blame falls on White Crane Hall."
