Before the great battle in the Extreme North Icefield, several masked individuals sent by Dugu Nian gradually returned to the Sky Swallowing Palace.
Besides the Man with the Wolf Head Mask who was still negotiating with the Thousand Gold Pavilion Master in Tang Country, the others had all returned.
Among them, the task of the Man with the White Crane Mask was the most arduous, going to remove Hidden Kill Hall's secret stakes in the Nine Countries one by one.
This mission was truly not simple. The number of Hidden Kill Hall's secret stakes was immense, assigning him alone to the task was practically asking for his life.
Over this period, the Man with the White Crane Mask had uprooted over a hundred of Hidden Kill Hall's secret stakes and strongholds and had exterminated countless Assassins from Hidden Kill Hall.
