After the exchange, the starlight on the face of Vermilion Bird True Man turned dark and changing; looking at the shattered jade tablet in front of him, he still couldn't find peace.
It had been more than forty years since Baidou Divine Sect's Vermilion Bird Palace last lost the Star Official Seal.
That time, the Sect Hierarch was furious.
He ordered the previous Vermilion Bird True Man to find it within a deadline.
He didn't specify what the consequences would be if it wasn't found.
But in the end, the consequence was that the Star Official Seal wasn't recovered, and the former Vermilion Bird True Man also disappeared.
It was unknown whether he died.
Or whether he was punished and imprisoned by the Sect Hierarch.
But he vanished just the same.
Afterwards, it was his turn to take office as the new Vermilion Bird True Man.
