"This is indeed a dangerous book, I will immediately send someone to deliver it to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
"However, the Thousand-faced master mentioned that there is an even greater power behind him," Qing Shuang added.
"Yes, we must remain vigilant," Elder He Tu nodded, "I will strengthen the town's alertness and notify neighboring towns so they can increase their guards as well."
Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Feng Qing continued their discussion at Elder He Tu's residence, knowing that although the current crisis was temporarily averted, a bigger challenge might be ahead.
"What should we do next?" Feng Qing asked.
"We need more information," Luo Chen answered, "Those black-clad figures mentioned by the Thousand-faced master might just be the tip of the iceberg, we need to find out the power behind them."
Qing Shuang nodded in agreement, "We can look into those missing livestock, maybe we'll find some clues."
