In a lavish mansion within the Artifact Talisman Alliance's Zongshan, Fang Qingyuan and Situ Jingyu were attending a banquet hosted by Qi Wushuang.
After seeing Huo Hu, Huo Bai was in low spirits and had no desire to attend such a banquet. Furthermore, he had been keeping himself hidden, ensuring no one from the Artifact Talisman Alliance recognized him from beginning to end.
He had come to see Huo Hu of his own volition. Huo Bai didn't want his presence to make the Artifact Talisman Alliance think that Huo Hu was some valuable asset to be exploited. So, he was now hiding outside, planning to wait for Fang Qingyuan to conclude the talks before they returned together.
At the head of the hall sat only two people: Qi Wushuang and another Golden Core Cultivator. This man, named Kuai Tong, was another major figure within the Artifact Talisman Alliance.
