"You're saying the Salt Field was taken back by the mermen, and that after Jin Che went to capture the males from the Divine Leopard Tribe, there's been no word from him?"
"Yes, City Lord. The mermen were prepared this time. I'm afraid taking the Salt Field back won't be so easy now."

Fengxuan, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up. "The mermen have likely already colluded with Qiao Xixi and her group. It's highly probable that Jin Che was careless and fell into their trap."
Jin Wei looked toward Fengxuan, but his gaze shifted away the moment it landed on his haggard, emaciated face.
