Yu Sui was not dead.
So the other World Destroyers would not experience this death either.
Xue Mushi took a deep breath, picked up the Listening Wind Ruler from the ground, and stood back up.
He remembered Yu Sui had gone to Mechanism Island to visit Mei Chengyu. After coming out of the dragon's head, Yu Sui's state of mind had seemed a little off. She and Mei Chengyu were both Ghost Dao Disciples. Had something happened at Three Thousand Paths?
The strange fire could trigger disturbances in Zhanlong Cave. Perhaps Mei Chengyu had seen something while he was with her.
Could Mei Chengyu have made a move?
Even if Mei Chengyu knew Nangong Sui had a strange fire, he wouldn't be bold enough to deal with her alone. He would definitely tell Sage Chang Gen, and then all the sages at the academy would be mobilized.
But the academy was peaceful at the moment, without the slightest sign of anything amiss.
Had Nangong Sui gone to Mechanism Island of her own accord today, or had someone deliberately lured her there to make their move?
Usually, Xue Mushi's mind was empty, the exact opposite of Mei Chengyu's.
One of them had to keep his mind turning constantly; the other had to empty his mind and was only willing to get it moving at crucial moments. Otherwise, thinking too much could make him lose control of himself. There was no time to rush to Mechanism Island now. The Fire Spirit Orb had disappeared, and without Death Empathy, perhaps Nangong Sui was right: she wouldn't die.
At this point, Xue Mushi could only wait for Yu Sui to contact him.
He had barely gotten to his feet when he heard a knock at the door.
Xue Mushi asked warily, "Who is it?"
