Chapter 712 - 353: Rejection from the Empress Dowager
The upheaval at Zhenxuan Mountain came abruptly and vanished even more abruptly.
Originally, everyone anticipated a fierce and grueling battle, but after experiencing an inexplicable turn of events, everything returned to silence. The golden radiance that had enveloped the forbidden area slowly dissipated.
To everyone’s shock, the Dharma Aspect of the Taoist Ancestor had already disappeared without a trace.
The burial chamber was almost razed to the ground, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation.
The three masters—Xuanyuan Shugui, Taoist Kumu, and Heaven Master Chou—had also vanished without a sign of their presence.
Dugu Luoxue and Qu Hongling anxiously scoured the ruins in search of Jiang Shouzhong, yet even after turning over every corner, they could not find Jiang Shouzhong himself or even a single strand of his hair.
Qi and the others also relentlessly searched for the Taoist Ancestor’s stone coffin.
Oddly enough, though the stone coffin remained in place, the remains of the Taoist Ancestor inside had inexplicably vanished.
Either they had been taken away by the three former masters at the Heavenly Human Realm, or perhaps they had mysteriously disappeared along with Jiang Shouzhong... Reflecting on the earlier phenomena, most believed it was likely the latter.
"Master Dugu, Miss Qu, rest assured, we will find Jiang Mo," said Qi to the two women in consolation.
