A wave of smugness washed over Hei Xuan, and she hurriedly ordered, "Quick, take me to see the Great Elder."
"Yes."
The two young men from the Heaven-Burying Sect quickly helped Hei Xuan through the heavy stone wall.
Beyond the stone wall lay another world entirely. It was resplendent and magnificent, grand and imposing, filled with a forest of palaces and temples—a world apart from the scene outside. This was the mysterious headquarters of the Heaven-Burying Sect.
Supporting Hei Xuan, the two young men walked onward, and before long, they arrived at a quiet courtyard.
"You may leave now," Hei Xuan said with a wave of her hand.
The two young men nodded and slowly departed.
Hei Xuan slowly entered the courtyard where a hale and hearty old man stood, his hands clasped behind his back. The old man then slowly walked over to a nearby stone chair and sat down.
This was Ou Zeming's grandfather, the Great Elder of the Heaven-Burying Sect, Ouyang.
"We failed this time."
