Although Yi Chen knew William definitely had some secrets, that he must have done something important and accomplished some goal at some point in the past before suddenly choosing to leave,
Yi Chen did not make things difficult for him or stop him, because doing so would have been meaningless.
Given the current situation, the conclusion William had reached and the result he had brought about were both fairly good. To truly break free from the "net" William had woven, they needed even greater strength—strength capable of decapitating everything.
Yi Chen now had a clear direction and goal.
His direction was to use the Sunken Death Temple left behind by the Strangulation King as his foundation and head toward deeper death. As for his goal, he had only just set it recently.
That was to kill the "Calamity" imprisoned at the Lowest Level of the Seven-Layered Heaven.
After leaving the restroom, the group headed to a nearby café with private rooms, preparing to find an opportunity to question the locals and learn about the general situation.
On the way to the café, Regan also transmitted his voice privately. "William's gone, right?"
"Yes. He left with Little Grape. Our overall visual perception will drop significantly, so you'll need to pay extra attention to sensing, Regan."
"Mm... Little Grape's Evil Sun is an absolute counter to Lorien's New Moon Illusion Arts. Losing her is indeed troublesome. I'll focus more on sensing."
"Have you discovered anything so far?"
"Not yet. I completely scanned every creature that passed by us, including checking all their brain cells. Everything is normal... almost too normal."
"Normal is exactly what we want. It's enough to show that this is Lorien's handiwork. The Moon is cautious, unlike Evil, which is so crude."
