Late autumn, cold moon.
Zhenling Mountain, the main temple of the Five Spirits Sect.
The returning Tang Fu felt somewhat apprehensive in his heart.
This time, he had followed Double Xie to Wuchang, consuming the sect's substantial manpower and resources. Moreover, the Sect Hierarch had specifically dispatched Li Qiyu, the Vice Banner Master of the Xuanwu Flag, to assist him, but in the end... he returned without accomplishing anything.
Although this operation was not an order from the sect leaders but something he volunteered for, returning empty-handed was indeed a bit difficult to justify.
Thus, upon his return, Tang Fu sought an audience with the Sect Hierarch using the term "to plead for punishment."
However, to his surprise, not only did he not receive a "punishment," he even received a "reward"...
Where did this "reward" come from?
