Fifteen minutes before the arrival of the leader.

Hei Wen had taken a brief rest and was now feeling a bit better. Even still, the thoughts of the nightmare that occurred before haunted him. He could even remember the pain of being cut to pieces by millions of swords, clearly.

Hei Wen wondered what kind of cultivation technique or skill Lin Mu practiced that even his mere presence caused him to experience this kind of a backlash. Just him hearing the esoteric chants was enough to defeat him.

Though after experiencing this, Hei Wen did not completely regret it.

'At the very least, I'll be able to inform the Lord about this. That way he won't be at a disadvantage.' Hei Wen thought.

With this thought in mind, Hei Wen went to find Hei Bao. Hei Bao had already asked him to come to meet with him after resting, so this just met his purpose. Hei Wen soon found Hei Bao in his personal room. He saw that the door was already open, thus he just walked in. Hei Bao was currently sitting on his desk while reading a report from a scroll in his hand.

'Preparing for the arrival of the leader, I see.' Hei Wen inwardly said.

Hei Bao noticed Hei Wen's footsteps, thus looked up to see him enter.

"Are you feeling well now?" Hei Bao questioned.

"Not completely, but better than before at least." Hei Wen replied.

"You should just rest more then. The leader won't mind your absence, I'll inform her of your condition." Hei Bao replied with concern.

"Yes, I'll do that. But I need to tell you about what happened to me before that." Hei Wen interrupted.

Hei Bao nodded in response and spoke,
