Li Xin had been pondering this as well. If Qi Badao disappears for too long, the Hundred Martial Hall will surely become suspicious. However, returning would be extremely risky for Qi Badao, and currently, the awkward part is that the Shadow Owl does not care about matters related to the Hundred Martial Hall; in that case, risking his life would be meaningless for Qi Badao.
Ironically, the Church Court's task for the Shadow Owl is to catch Justice's Little Flayer, disregarding the Hundred Martial Hall's numerous crimes. The intricacies here are plentiful. The Hundred Martial Hall has significant influence in the Li Long United Kingdom as a locally emergent force, the only gap being the absence of a significant figure like the Pope. In terms of power, they are not inferior, and the Shadow Owl would be crushed on impact.
