Although it was supposed to be an investigation, no results had been found, and the people already decided to stop pursuing it.
Duan Ming could only promise that if there were still no results today, they would return home tomorrow.
Despite their helplessness, everyone could only agree to wait one more day.
On this day, by nightfall, arrangements remained the same as before: some patrolled, some cooked, and others started investigating, searching for clues.
Among those cooking, one from the Fourth Stage of Mortal Realm carried a bucket to the river, intending to fetch water to cook for everyone.
But as soon as he reached the riverbank and submerged the bucket in the water, a hand suddenly extended from the water and grabbed him directly.
The bucket was left floating on the river.
Xiao Mu felt a fluctuation in power and immediately shifted his divine sense over, but unfortunately, it was too late; the hand that extended in secret had already grabbed the person and left.
