The Actual Leader

Following the messenger, Ye Qingxuan got past all the layers of security and defense along the way without being stopped. The young man did not answer any of Ye Qingxuan's questions on the way but only told him that Bishop Carol would provide him with answers. They walked back onto the ground and passed through the inner court, then went up the battlement.

Few people were in the fortress. The big stone fort appeared to be empty. Other than the crackling of the burning torch, there wasn't even a sound, and an eerie silence filled the air. Only the main hall where the meeting was held had some semblance of warmth. The fireplace had chopped pine wood burning in it instead of bodies of demons, giving off a calming fragrance.
