Yuan Shanji and Xiong Gang fled, while Sang Lu and Li Tianqing focused on their pursuit. The Samsara Abyss Elder, Sun Li, on the other hand, temporarily remained beneath the earth veins near the Zhu An River area.
Yang Tai knew the other party was attempting to plunder, even hijack, his Ritual Instrument. The original Ritual Instrument was intended for Cultivators of the Confucian Sect. Although the Taoist Heritage of the Confucian Chanting Sect and the Divine Dance Lineage of the Witchcraft Sect (which centered on Witchcraft Spirits) shared some commonalities, they were notably different from the Curse-Proclaiming Lineage of the Samsara Abyss, which involved Witchcraft Bones. Yang Tai couldn't figure out what Sun Li was up to at that moment, nor did he intend to pursue the matter. He opted to leave the area first and deal with it later.
