He did, however, hear of the Immortal-Binding Rope again. It was purely by chance, passing from the lips of a few Rogue Cultivators who claimed that the Daoist cultivators of Lingyue Immortal Island had used the rope to slay a demon. Through this feat, the magical treasure had made a brilliant name for itself.
Chen Changsheng didn't think Wei Shiyu had been caught by the people of Lingyue Immortal Island. Though the little thief was somewhat foolish, the fact that he had managed to steal the Immortal-Binding Rope from the island proved his skill. Even if he were to return the item, he would do so flawlessly, leaving no trace behind.
Right now, he was probably off enjoying himself somewhere. But how long could a thief ply his trade? As the saying went, if you walked by the river often enough, your shoes were bound to get wet. Still, he ought to be fine for now. No news was good news.
