It was still a woman's body, just older and less comely than her previous one. The black cloth on her shoulder marked her identity as one of the Dharma Sect Believers who had attacked Li Huowang.

When the horses came to a stop, Li Sui cautiously peered out from behind her father's back. She saw that their path was blocked by several buildings.
