Stepping over the corpse of the Demon Beast, the group finally saw a bit of light.
Upon seeing the light, Gu Sheng looked at Hong Mei once again.
As their eyes met, Hong Mei nodded gently.
A streak of Divine Power flew from her hand, heading straight ahead.
In a short while, the Divine Power flew back and landed softly in her palm.
Hong Mei lightly furrowed her brows as she looked at the Divine Power in her palm.
Gu Sheng, somewhat puzzled, simply walked over.
"What’s the matter? Something wrong with the aura?"
"Yes, I can sense the Wushuang Taoist’s aura, but it’s very faint and ethereal. Do you understand what I mean?"
After thinking for a moment, Gu Sheng nodded.
"If the Wushuang Taoist were here, her aura should be more substantial. The faint and ethereal aura you sense probably means she’s already left."
"Are you saying the Wushuang Taoist was here before?"
"Can’t rule out that possibility. Let’s go check and find out."
Gu Sheng quickened his pace, and Hong Mei hurriedly followed.
The two gradually moved to the front, heading straight for the bright spot.
After what seemed like the time it takes to burn an incense stick, they finally discovered something unusual.
Scanning their surroundings, Gu Sheng noticed dozens of Luminous Pearls. The light they saw earlier was emitted by these pearls. At the center was a cage made of Xuan Iron, with iron chains still attached, but the cage door was open.
Gu Sheng wrinkled his nose, detecting a faint scent of blood in the air.
He quickly stepped forward and checked around the cage, and sure enough, found spots of blood on the chains.
"Hong Mei, come and see if the Wushuang Taoist’s aura emanates from here."
Upon hearing this, Hong Mei quickly went over to sense it.
After a while, her face turned slightly pale.
"Yes... it’s here..."
Seeing she looked about to faint, Gu Sheng hurriedly supported her.
"Don’t worry, although the bloodstain belongs to the Wushuang Taoist, the open cage means she escaped."
Upon saying this, Gu Sheng seriously asked, "After the failed ascension, what is the true strength of the Wushuang Taoist?"
"Below divine rank, but still superior to many."
