Fang Hao holed up in his small courtyard in Hundred Flowers City for a few days, not stepping out the door, focusing on consolidating his newly achieved Middle Golden Core Stage cultivation.
He also took the time to study the new techniques he had obtained from the heaven-reaching pagoda, such as the incomplete Shadowless Evasion Technique and the middle volume of the Chaos Derivation Art.
His strength was steadily increasing, and he felt much more at ease.
However, despite feeling at ease, there was always something weighing on his mind, like a thorn that made him uncomfortable if left unpulled.
That was the Old Schemer, Black Water Rogue Cultivator!
He remembered clearly that outside the ruins in the Hundred Flowers Mountain Range, he had used the golden puppet to ambush and kill Black Water Rogue Cultivator, destroying the body and erasing the evidence, thinking he had done it flawlessly.
But at the time, Black Water Rogue Cultivator hadn't gone alone!
