Ensuring his safe delivery to the sect would secure them a hefty reward! Chapter 18: The Black Ring "What is your name?" Both Zhao Xin and Xuanyu turned to Chen Wenzhong and asked. "Chen Wenzhong, from the Chen family!" "Junior Brother Chen Wenzhong, and the rest of you, return to your families and prepare. Tomorrow, gather at the city gates; we depart for the War Sect!"
