• Ye Wuchen left alone after his Golden Eyes detected a flash of pure lightning aura dozens of li away.

• A middle-aged Daoist at the Heavenly Forge Sect sensed that the thunder origin stone’s power had run dry and left to beg the sect master for another one.

"Ye Wuchen" used a teleportation formation to send the spoils from four Nascent Soul cultivators, including the Thunder Origin Stone and Purple Firmament Thunder Gourd, to Zhao Hao's main body before exploring deeper into Fallen Dragon Valley.
