There's a saying...one mouth, two-faced talk.
What exactly had Double Xie and the others encountered? Let's keep that a mystery for now and talk about another group of people here.
This evening, at the foot of the mountain on the eastern side of Smoke Lamp Slope, there was actually another group of people present.
This group, numbering over fifty, was composed of battle-hardened practitioners; they had arrived from the east on the previous day's morning and had set up an ambush for Double Xie and their company.
By now, some may have guessed that the only organization that could mobilize a large force on such short notice in the Miaojiang region and set up an ambush was the Five Spirits Sect.
The goal of these followers of the Five Spirits Sect on this mission was clear—to capture "Dong Xie West Poison" alive.
