"Then... the exception we speculated about before must truly exist. There had to be a third party!!! This third party must have obtained the two men's storage bags, including whatever came from the Buddhist Sect ruins, and even destroyed their corpses!" Zhen Xiaoyang said with a bitter smile. "Otherwise, why would their corpses have vanished? And this third party... could he have found information about the Lightning Devouring Bead in Zhen Xie's storage bag? Could he expose us...? That is the most important matter! If Gan Qinghuo had not returned earlier, we naturally would not have needed to think further. But now that Gan Qinghuo has returned, Sect Master Lord will surely investigate to the bottom of this matter. He will surely trace the origin of the Lightning Devouring Bead through Gan Qinghuo and follow the vine to find the melon—perhaps even discover where the fall of Zhen Xie and Kan Mingwei took place, perhaps even find this third party!!! We must worry before the rain comes!"
Zhen Yue shook his head again. "Hall Master, this disciple said long ago that even if they traced matters back through Senior Brother Zhen Xie, they would be unlikely to trace them back to this disciple. Much less now... when the news of the Lightning Devouring Bead has circled around outside Qiong Lei Peak and landed in Gan Qinghuo's ears. We have even less reason to worry! How could that so-called third party possibly know about us?"
Having said this, Zhen Yue seemed somewhat concerned. He naturally glanced around the area and lowered his voice. "Actually, this disciple has had a question for many years. I do not know whether it is appropriate to raise it now."
"Mm, speak. The cave dwelling's restrictions were activated as soon as you entered," Zhen Xiaoyang said
