Not long after Tangyu and Sun Wukong left, nine black-clad figures led by Lu Ji appeared here. They examined the scene and fell silent for a moment.
After a while, one of the black-clad figures spoke: "Judging from the traces at the scene, it was two people who killed them — one using an axe and the other a staff. Both are very powerful, having killed the three in a short amount of time. It appears they launched a sneak attack. Even so, it proves their strength. And they were so cautious, leaving immediately after the kill, clearly knowing about our presence and intentionally avoiding us."
