They left the Nuo God Temple and headed back to Purple Miao Village.
They encountered no Black Miao people along the way. The Cave God and the Corpse King had vanished without a trace.
Miao Cang and his companions did not appear either.
They probably had not died, but had been controlled by the invisible gu. Wherever they had gone, there would certainly be Plague Gu.
However, the Chief Seat Deity possessing Luo Bin was very powerful.
Both he and Qin Tianqing also held Yang Spirit Ritual Artifacts. That was why Mao Yousan felt safe leaving them to it.
There was another crucial point: the appearance of the Blackblood Vine in the Nuo God Temple was itself a deterrent.
Luo Bin also carried Blackblood Vine.
How would something like Plague Gu dare approach him?
They descended the mountain without incident and returned safely to Purple Miao Village.
Miao Cang and the others' failure to return left all the Purple Miao people uneasy, with worry and sorrow lingering beneath the surface.
When Luo Bin announced that they could all leave, their delight swept away every negative emotion.
Qin Tianqing could only use the Heavenly Mechanism Jade Slip to examine them. Without Luo Xianshen present, they could not use the Four-Rules Mirror.
Every Purple Miao person was examined, and none showed any sign of Plague Gu.
Afterward, they were all sent off to pack the belongings they wanted to take.
Luo Bin and Qin Tianqing rested in the courtyard they had used before.
Both slept for a while, then ate the food the Purple Miao people brought them.
The courtyard became much quieter and calmer.
"I'm going to Heavenly Mechanism Mountain with you."
Luo Bin went straight to the point, breaking the silence.
"Mr. Mao won't..." Qin Tianqing began, shaking his head.
