A day quickly passed as Xu Qi devoted his time to healing, cultivating, familiarizing himself with his new ability, and contemplating his next move.
The encounter with Madam Feng had left him with more questions than answers. He knew he pushed her to the point that she'd likely report what happened. So his next move was to wait and feel the movements within the city.
He decided to not go out immediately and check on the Yue Clan, instead, he wanted to see how they would react to it.
Unfortunately, nothing much happened after a day.
Elder Zhou visited him again and he saw through Elemental Scrying that she really went all out in finding out the hidden faction within the city. She spent the whole night watching over the city for any sort of movement.
She also received a reply from the main sect, regarding the identity of the faction bearing the emblem etched on the blade that the masked assailant dropped.
They're called the Veiled Abyss.
