The tea shed was destroyed. Chen Qing left some broken silver as compensation and then departed from this place of trouble with Xu Qi and Zhao Stone.
The three of them searched Black Stone Ridge for another day but found no trace of Zhu Yi or any other core members of the Zhu Family.
The next morning, at the crack of dawn, a falcon broke through the clouds. It circled several times in the air, let out a clear cry, and dove down, landing precisely on Chen Qing's raised arm.
This was the trained falcon the Wutai Sect used to deliver urgent, secret messages.
Chen Qing deftly removed a Wax Pill from the copper pipe on the falcon's leg. After crushing it, a small strip of paper was revealed.
He quickly finished reading it, and the paper was shattered into dust in his palm by True Qi.
"Sect intelligence reports that Zhu Yi has supposedly appeared at Black Water Pier," Chen Qing said in a low voice.
After verification, the intelligence provided by Luo Wei proved to be true.
