In the Yunling Mountain Range at night, the chirping of insects rose and fell, punctuated by the occasional roar of a beast.
The moon had already risen over the mountain peaks, but Sun Tao, Zhang Hanzhou, and the others waited and waited, yet there was still no sign of Liu Qingyuan's return.
"I'm afraid something has happened to Elder Liu Qingyuan!" Sun Tao declared, getting to his feet.
More than an hour had passed since the attack. If nothing had happened to Liu Qingyuan, he should have come looking for them by now.
Even if he was chasing the enemy, he wouldn't have pursued them for this long. If a major battle had broken out, a winner would have been decided long ago.
"How could anything have happened to him? How many people are capable of killing an Elder of our Purple Sun Sect? Elder Liu is probably still hunting down the enemy," Qi Xuancheng said, shaking his head.
