Gu Tao is actually a very decisive person, when he says he'll let go, he really does let go. But his sudden dropping of responsibilities has brought nothing but chaos to the base, with everyone starting to buzz around like headless flies.
The only thing he's keeping an eye on at the base now is the Red Demon. That guy... he's really good at hiding. Every time they almost catch him, he vanishes in the blink of an eye. Although the search area is narrowing, they still can't catch this eel-like thing. And he keeps on killing people, over and over again, like he's taunting them. Gu Tao wants to launch a large-scale attack, but he can never bring himself to do such inhumane things, so he has to rely on manpower to track him down bit by bit.
Others say how Sect Master Gu, who is supposed to be invincible, is having such a hard time dealing with this thing...
