After leaving the Golden Palace Hall, Su Mo headed straight out of the imperial palace.
Walking along the broad streets of the imperial city, Su Mo covered hundreds of zhang with each step, like a gale sweeping past.
Before long, he had left the imperial city and arrived at another city on Qingyu Island, a thousand li away.
Then, as though nothing had happened, Su Mo began wandering around the city.
However, although he was far from the imperial palace, his spiritual consciousness remained firmly fixed on Guoshi Qu Tan within the palace.
He always felt that there was something off about Qu Tan, yet he could not say exactly what it was.
Of course, perhaps he was simply overthinking it.
Still, in order to trace the whereabouts of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, Su Mo had to verify it.
If Qu Tan truly was one of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, he surely would not be able to sit still now. Even if he did not know Su Mo's identity, he could guess that Su Mo was from the Azure Divine Palace.
In that case, now that Su Mo had left the imperial city, the other party would certainly make a move. Perhaps he would even flee the imperial palace.
If the other party ran, it would mean he had a guilty conscience and was undoubtedly a member of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
As Su Mo wandered through the city, he occasionally questioned martial artists about Guoshi Qu Tan of the Qing Yu Empire.
As the Imperial Advisor of the Qing Yu Empire, Qu Tan was known by practically everyone on Qingyu Island.
Through his inquiries, Su Mo learned information that was largely identical to what Qu Tan had told him.
It seemed Qu Tan had not lied.
