The disciples of the Celestial Derivation Sect searched for two whole hours.
They ransacked the area around the loft where Gu Yuexi had been imprisoned, turning it completely upside down.
In the end, they found nothing.
The Elder leading the team, his face dark with anger, cursed them for being useless.
But he didn't give up.
He sent out nearly all the Inner and Outer Sect Disciples.
They were to conduct a carpet search, starting from the Celestial Derivation Sect's main gates and spreading outward.
Within a thousand-mile radius, not even a fly was to be missed.
These disciples didn't know the specifics of their target.
They had only been ordered to find a female cultivator at the Profound Understanding Realm who bore a special mark from the Celestial Derivation Sect.
Capture her alive, and there would be a great reward.
Chu Sheng was hiding in a secluded stone crevice.
He heard every word with perfect clarity.
