The Holy Palace's announcement did not state the reason, causing speculation within the Immortal City.
The only one who knew the truth, Li Ji'an, sat on the second floor of a tavern in the Immortal City, holding a wine cup with eyes closed, resting, while his divine sense constantly communicated with Gugu.
Gugu had now burrowed nearly thirty yards underground, which was its limit.
Initially, when Li Ji'an had just left, he instructed it to try to escape from the locked area underground. Upon reaching the boundary, it sensed a restriction array extending into the ground. Although the array was only temporarily set up and not strong, Gugu, with its strength, could indeed break through, but doing so would expose it, forcing it to conceal all its aura and patiently wait for the opportunity.
Thankfully, for more than half a month, no abnormalities appeared where Gugu was hiding, and by then the auction in Profound Light Immortal City finally commenced.
