The other party was a Fourth-Turn Immortal, whereas they were only Third-Turn Immortals. Fearing that his divine sense might be detected by the target, he had refrained from using it for surveillance and instead relied on his naked eyes.
Yet the naked eye could not pierce the interior of the reception hall.
"I have my own methods. Suffice it to say that the main target is dead. Does that mean the mission is over?"
Fang Chen smiled faintly. "We can go back and report."
"Indeed, with the main target dead, the mission naturally concludes. But..."
Daoist Que still harbored many doubts and opened his mouth to ask, only to see Fang Chen already turning to leave.
Returning to the inn, Fang Chen found no trace of Li Jingnian, nor was the old man anywhere to be found in the broken ruins. As for where he had gone, likely no one knew.
*I hope the old sword immortal's memories recover soon.*
Fang Chen sighed softly inwardly. Seeing Daoist Que chasing after him, he pushed open the bronze gate and stepped right through.
This door led to the Xiezhi Office, invisible to Daoist Que, who had to open his own door to pursue him.
