Wudi had a vague sense of his location and the direction he was heading, confident he would eventually reach his destination in the east. It didn't take long for him to catch the sounds of a commotion not far from where he stood. Stirring his martial intent, he concealed his presence and approached the source of the noise with caution.
Upon arriving, he witnessed a disciple being struck fatally by a poisoned palm to the back of the head. As he looked closer, Wudi recognized the fallen disciple as one of his companions from the group. Although Teacher Liang led them, not all the disciples were the same as when he left the academy, and this particular one he didn't know by name. Frowning, he observed the disciples from the Thousand Poison Sect and regretted not arriving sooner.
