Chapter 865: Sudden Death
Afterward, everyone went their separate ways.
Ye Hong, who had lost both his children, remained alone in Yanshui City.
Inspector Xia returned to the Dao Court Office in Ganxue Prefecture.
Gu Changhuai was also returning to the Dao Court Office, but before that, he had to send Mo Hua back to Void Gate.
So many matters had arisen lately, and changes came one after another. Unless he personally delivered Mo Hua to the mountain gate, he could not quite set his mind at ease.
Fortunately, the journey passed without incident. Near dusk, the carriage finally arrived at Void City and, half an hour later, reached the foot of Void Gate.
Gazing at the mist-shrouded gate of Void Mountain, Gu Changhuai finally relaxed.
At the Dragon King Temple, when Mo Hua had been trapped in the Bone Labyrinth and swallowed by blood, Gu Changhuai had been frantic with worry.
He had feared that he would never be able to bring Mo Hua back in this life. If that happened, not only would he feel deeply guilty, but he would also have no way to answer to his cousin or Void Gate.
Fortunately, it had all been a fright without danger.
"All right. Go back, put your heart into cultivation, and don't let anything else distract you."
Gu Changhuai instructed him.
"Mm." Mo Hua nodded, then waved. "Uncle Gu, the Dao Court Office has plenty to do, and you're busy too. I won't keep you. Hurry back."
Gu Changhuai nodded. After reminding him once more, he drove away.
Mo Hua stood at the foot of the mountain and waved at Gu Changhuai. Only after the carriage rounded the mountain bend and vanished down the mountain road did he turn around.
Yet he did not head toward Void Gate.
