Regardless of the shock and suspicion mingling among the Ming family's cultivators, it seems to be utterly useless - as the object of suspicion has already left Moonlight Market, his whereabouts now unknown.
In truth, the Ming family conducted a very thorough investigation into the death of the disciple from Yingyue Sect.
The sudden departure of Chen Dengming even led to a woman cultivator with the surname Li recalling that the disciple was looking for a cultivator with the surname Chen, arousing further suspicion.
However, subsequent investigations revealed through Boss Hu of the Business League that Chen Dengming had intended to leave two months prior.
Only because he couldn't find some materials to nourish his spiritual body and cultivate spiritual beasts did he decide to stay at the Moonlight Market.
This clue seemed to show that Chen Dengming's departure was not a sudden decision, and seemingly had nothing to do with the death of the disciple from Yingyue Sect.
