As the sun slowly disappeared beyond the western horizon, a masked man in black slipped into a dilapidated temple just outside the imperial capital.
The moment his soles touched the ground, two cold blades pressed against his neck.
"It's me," he calmly said.
Recognizing the black mask carved with black a nine-tailed fox etched into the corner, the two shadow guards sheathed their swords.
"How is it?" one of them asked from inside the temple.
The newcomer gave a slight nod. "It's done. Should we report back to Captain?"
The other shadow guard glanced at him and asked, "Have you forgotten? Captain still hasn't returned from his mission."
Frowning at his words, the newcomer asked, "Shi Yi, do you think Captain will be able to find the Gui Clan's whereabouts?"
