The next morning came with a disappointment.
When in the distance Lee noticed seven figures, he was overjoyed at first. Unfortunately, as they approached closer, he recognized the four guys from yesterday.
This time, though, they were accompanied by three others, dressed in neat dark clothing, with shiny badges on their chests. Clearly these were enforcers of the Primordial Flame sect, and it became clear that the last night's promise of Lee regretting his actions wasn't an empty threat.
"Senior Brother Mori, that's the thief!" One of the outer disciples shouted from the distance, pointing at Lee sitting next to the river, having breakfast.
Hearing the accusation Lee already guessed what would follow, but turns out they didn't come simply to beat him up.
"Cough up the stolen artifacts and follow me to the sect where you'll be trialed!" The leader of the group, probably the earlier mentioned Senior Brother Mori, commanded.
