After pushing the last witness into the abyss, Yino clapped his hands in satisfaction. He glanced up at the moonlight, then looked back at the countless lights scattered across the mountains, letting out a silent sigh. He thought to himself that there was still a lot of cleanup work to be done.
Yino casually took a broom and a small vial from his storage ring. He applied the potion that could erase traces to the soles of his shoes and carefully wiped away all his footprints on the cliff. However, he only cleared the footprints up to the edge of the barrier on the back mountain. Beyond that, he left them untouched because when the Wuji Sect's cultivators came to investigate, he could explain that he had followed Gu Wanglan's steps to the boundary, where he saw Gu Wanglan leap off the cliff into the abyss in an attempt to escape.
"Reasonable, very reasonable..."
"But it still feels like something's missing."
