The missing person was, in fact, the male cultivator from the other pair of Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Since the missing person was not a cultivator from the Purple Extreme Sect, no one reacted strangely, even after they noticed.
But when Lin Changheng looked at that female cultivator, he saw the faint look of sorrow and grief on her oval face and knew something was likely wrong.
The male cultivator had likely met his end here.
However, if it had been a betrayal, she would have shown at least a hint of resentment. Lin Changheng had only spared her a few glances, but he was a careful observer, and he saw no such expression on the female cultivator's face.
'The waters run deep...'
Lin Changheng shook his head to himself.
A popular saying in the Cultivation Realm still rang true: never show your back to anyone, not even a companion or a close friend.
