Gu An had originally intended only to eavesdrop, unfortunately, the woman in the purple dress scanned him with her Divine Sense, developed hostility towards him, and hinted at wanting to tear his body into pieces.
How could he tolerate this?
Gu An captured her immediately!
Before killing her, he explored the intelligence of the Ephemera Sect, as this woman's identity was clearly not simple and he might be able get useful information from her.
The woman in the purple dress, named Su Shan, was originally an Elder in the Thousand-Autumn Pavilion. Two hundred years ago, she had joined the Ephemera Sect and after its defeat, she had been hiding within the Thousand-Autumn Pavilion.
Yang Ni had been personally recruited into the sect by her because Su Shan promised to help Yang Ni find the murderer who had killed her sister.
