In the deep night, within the estate of the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance, everyone had fallen into sleep. Outside the estate, a man dressed in black was slowly gliding by. This man was none other than the Executioner Scholar, who had left with the Wanyan Family previously.
Last time, the Executioner Scholar pretended to be unconscious and overheard the Wanyan Family's conversation, which made him remain vigilant against them. So, on his way back, he secretly informed the Headmaster of the Southern Ridge Sect that Wen'er was also trapped in the Tomb of the Ghost Valley Master. He originally intended for the Headmaster to disrupt the Wanyan Family's plan. However, strangely, the Headmaster did not make any moves along the way, which surprised him greatly and made him think that the Headmaster was planning to abandon his daughter.
