Du Songquan burst forth with his greatest speed on his return to the Washing Sword Pavilion, not even taking a quarter of an hour to get there.
His handle was gripped tightly in Han Zheng's hands; naturally, he had to exert himself to the utmost in his duties.
Although Du Songquan didn't want to be blackmailed by Han Zheng, unless he could slay Han Zheng completely in an instant, he had no choice but to be driven by Han Zheng's bidding.
Before summoning the other Elders for a council meeting, Du Songquan went to find Wei Danqing, only to discover that he was not in his residence either.
Concerning the Supreme Elder's behavior, others within the Washing Sword Pavilion also had their complaints.
While Wei Danqing was old, he was not so aged that he had to seclude himself to maintain his vitality; on ordinary days, he could eat and drink like anyone else.
