Within an outpost on the outskirts of the Sky Sea Sect, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was observing two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.
This outpost was a permanent base established by Elder Baili of the Holy Ice Sect, specifically for investigating the disappearance of Baili Jin Yan.
Normally stationed here were two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, and the operation was overseen by Wei Yun, a Foundation Establishment direct disciple of Elder Baili.
Recently, while reviewing intelligence reports from the Sky Sea Sect, Wei Yun discovered that Li Shiming, who should have been killed, was still alive.
Li Shiming was not important, but Wei Yun had already reported his death to his master, Elder Baili, thus Li Shiming must be dead.
It was known that Elder Baili personally investigated Qiu Tan on Changming Island and sensed remnants of a mark left by Baili Jin Yan on Qiu Tan and two helpers.
Due to the passage of time, only a faint trace of the mark remained.
