After that day, most things developed as Yue Jinghua had expected, with Guo Ziyu and his wife successfully arriving at Fengdan County through the Transmission Array at Mazaro Mountain.
However, there was one aspect that differed; the Chaos Mantis, after vanishing that night, did not immediately launch an ambush on Sha Xi but instead went silent and left no trace, obviously smarter and more cautious than Yue Jinghua had anticipated.
Guo Ziyu and his wife left silently, causing Sha Xi and others who followed to find nothing.
Several mercenaries tasked with the job sealed off all the trails leading out of town to Xuan Beast Ridge, but found no traces of Guo Ziyu and his wife. It was as if they had used the Earth Tunneling Technique and vanished overnight.
