Rustling!
While they were speaking, the sound of wings flapping resounded in the air.
Some soldiers immediately raised their crossbows.
"Don't shoot!"
Li Yan hastily stopped them, and then he saw Lv San's hawk descend from the sky, perching on a wooden rack preening its feathers.
He removed the secret message from the bamboo tube attached to its leg. After roughly estimating the contents, Li Yan immediately took out paper and pen and scribbled a few lines.
Beside him, Sha Lifei whispered, "Has Daoist Wang and the others found anything?"
Li Yan nodded and said solemnly, "I've instructed them to stay hidden for now. They're only to gather intelligence. They mustn't reveal themselves."
The incident in Erbei Village was likely related to the Ghost Sect.
Faced with an unknown and fearsome enemy, Li Yan naturally had to be cautious, so he ordered Wang Daoxuan and Lv San to remain carefully concealed.
