The three brothers leaned on each other in front of the dilapidated temple and waited for a full quarter of an hour before seeing the man in white return.
He carried a sword in his hand but the sight of Wang Er was nowhere to be found.
With the aid of Disciple Jiang, Tian Lin forced himself to stand up and said, "Brother, you must be a Senior Brother from the Heart Inquiry Sect."
The man in white bowed his head and hummed a response.
Tian Lin frowned and asked him, "Senior Brother just went to chase after Wang Er, what happened to him?"
The man in white thought for a moment before saying, "He escaped. My movement technique was no match for him."
Upon hearing this, Tian Lin lamented, "These people coming to the north must be aiming to harm the sect. If we could have kept him alive, we could have extracted many secrets from him."
But the man in white did not continue the conversation, instead, he bent down and began searching the possessions on Han Sanniang's body.
