Cuiluo Mountain, Daluo Palace.
Gu Zhao saw Taoist Ming Chong, who had returned to prepare for Alchemy. He also saw the great centipede, which was still nearly a foot long after being refined, and the Heart Wheel Magical Treasure brimming with Bloodthirsty Demon Qi.
After killing the red-bearded man, Taoist Shen Hao spoke with Zhan Qing for a while before returning to the He Yan Mansion.
Taoist Xu Ning and Taoist Yuan He also left, but they were still traveling through Yazhou. If any real danger arose, they could return at a moment's notice.
Only Taoist Ming Chong took the Heart Wheel, the source of the incident, and the red-bearded man's true Body. He excitedly returned to Daluo Palace, ready to fire up his furnace for Alchemy.
