Jiao Hong shook his head again, confirming he really didn't know.
Unable to get a clear answer, Shen Bai thought for a moment, then waved his hand.
"In that case, continue your patrols and guard duty as planned. Don't let this distract you."
'One thing at a time. If I can't find anything, I'll put the investigation on hold for now. I can look into it again after this place opens.'
Jiao Hong nodded, then excused himself and left.
After Jiao Hong left, Shen Bai surveyed the encampment, lost in thought.
'This young man, Ke Xiaoran, who appeared out of nowhere... he claims to be from the Artifact Refining Sect, but he has absolutely no connection to this Forbidden Land. Something is definitely very wrong here.'
Just as he was mulling this over, the anomaly appeared once more.
Through his Void-breaking Red Eye, Shen Bai once again saw the orb of light materialize before him.
Shen Bai shot to his feet and chased it out of the tent without a moment's hesitation.
