Chu Lingguang and Guo Wei breathed a secret sigh of relief after convincing Jiang Ruhong to have the Jiang Family eliminate Chen Liang. Of course, they knew they couldn't let their guard down.
Chen Liang had successfully retrieved the Necromancy Charm.
The Power of the Necromancy was something even Foundation Establishment experts feared, so Chu Lingguang and Guo Wei couldn't afford to provoke it lightly. For safety's sake, they made a special trip to the Hall of Criminal Law to make inquiries. They learned that while duels were permitted within the sect, fights to the death were strictly forbidden.
So, if Chen Liang wanted to plot against them, he wouldn't dare do it openly. He would have to use Jiang Ruhong like last time, killing them with the Necromancy Charm and framing Jiang Ruhong for it.
Perhaps Jiang Ruhong had seen through this as well, which was why he had sided with Chu Lingguang and Guo Wei and chosen to break with Chen Liang.
