The Heretics
A middle-aged man was walking inside a residence, but he felt confused because the owners of the residence were not there, and he couldn't even find their servants and guards. "Why is everyone in this clan gone? Could it be that Ouyang Yuhai and Qian Ye have betrayed us? But that's impossible, especially since my ancestor's slave mark is on their souls, and they can't possibly erase it on their own."
He was none other than Huang Gai, and he left the Nangong Clan after he couldn't find them. He then tried to ask local residents about the whereabouts of the clan members, but he was disappointed because none of them knew the whereabouts of those people, which happened because Tian Huang had strictly forbidden them from discussing that clan.
