April 28th. The third day since Xiao Chen had left for Shattered Stone Valley.
News of the Tribulation Cultivator attack in Pingyuan County had already reached the Li Huo Sect.
Two other pieces of news arrived along with it.
First, the group of unidentified Tribulation Cultivators included not only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but they also possessed a Demon Soldier.
During the pursuit, Patriarch Liu Zhiyuan of the Liu Family was ambushed and injured by the Demon Soldier.
Second, they had intentionally destroyed vast quantities of Spirit Grass and deliberately slaughtered numerous Spirit Farmers.
It didn't look like a robbery for valuables; it was more like they were trying to sabotage production.
On April 29th, a token belonging to an Inner Sect Disciple turned up in the Marketplace.
The investigation by the sect's Law Enforcement Hall led them to the Divine Fire Sect.
