Shang stood in the middle of a crater with several crevices inside it.
He was silently standing in front of a head and a body.
He didn't say anything for several seconds.
"I guess it didn't work."
A person wearing a black cloak stood behind Shang.
This was that one Sweeper that had led Shang to the Sky Lantern back then.
Right now, it was her job to keep an eye on Shang. The Temple of Blood's plan was in its final stages, and they needed Shang to be available whenever they were contacted by the Twilight Dusk Family.
Shang was traveling the world, and to keep an eye on him, they had commissioned the Sweeper that had escorted him back then.
She was supposed to protect Shang from Ancestral Beasts that were too powerful, stop him from walking into dangerous locations, and make sure that he didn't run away for whatever reason.
