By the time they left Lingyin Temple, it was already dusk.
In fact, according to the Eldest Princess Ningyu, she wanted Wang Junze and Monk Benyin to leave the Capital City immediately, heading directly to the Nether Sea. Delivering the Creation Golden Lotus to Qu Lishang earlier would lessen the danger.
However, Wang Junze directly refused.
He understood the Eldest Princess Ningyu's eagerness to save people, but he couldn't let this anxious emotion infect him. Only by staying calm could he maximize the safety of their journey.
Moreover, now that he was in the Capital City, there were still some loose ends to tie up, so it was impossible for him to leave secretly.
Upon returning to the Judgment Department, Wang Junze first attempted to visit the bamboo grove where the Director resided. Unfortunately, whereas previously he could easily enter by following Yin Guangling, now it was as if he had stepped into a labyrinth. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't enter.
