Chapter 174: A Restless Night

As twilight fell, Gu Daofeng, clad in green robes, stood atop a peak within the Pill Sect. The surrounding area was silent, with no sounds of insects chirping or birds calling.

At some unknown point in time, a figure appeared behind Gu Daofeng.

"You didn't handle the matter of Fang Lin well," Gu Daofeng said without turning around, his voice tinged with coldness.

The figure was silent for a moment, then replied, "I didn't expect Qing Jianzi and Han Xiaoxing to rescue Fang Lin, which led to my miscalculation."

"Did Wang Tianmu not take action? Otherwise, how come there has been no repercussions?" Gu Daofeng inquired.

The figure gave a bitter smile, "Wang Tianmu has cut off contact with me. I believe he must have failed and is now under Fang Lin's control."

Upon hearing this, Gu Daofeng whirled around, his face somewhat gloomy.
