Chapter 555: Silencing by Murder?

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened.

At night, the Immortal Sect of Inquiry was no less bustling than during the day.

However, compared to other places, the Lingdong Peak, where disciples were scarce, was noticeably quieter.

Mo Wangchen had been contemplating the Hunyuan Seal until the sky began to lighten when he finally awoke from his state.

"Why hasn't he returned yet?"

He frowned slightly. It was already bright, and Fu Jingyan had left near dusk yesterday. The distance between Wangxian City and the Immortal Sect of Inquiry was not far.

Logically, he should have returned by now.

"Could it be that he escaped back to Heavenly Pillar Peak?"

A cold gleam flashed in Mo Wangchen's eyes, and it wasn't an impossible thought.

Fu Jingyan was a somewhat renowned genius of Heavenly Pillar Peak, so why would he stoop to guarding the courtyard door here?

Thinking this, Mo Wangchen stood up from where he was and walked out of the courtyard.
