The two exchanged glances, smiles breaking across their faces, and the sense of disappointment within them gradually dissipated.
Gu Sheng and Shangguan Yudie departed from Chu Country's treasure secret realm in somber silence, unable to locate more Dragon Balls, leaving a trace of regret in their hearts.
They were unaware that this endeavor had inadvertently triggered a series of strange phenomena in Chu Country.
With two fewer Dragon Balls, the royal cultivation grounds of Chu Country suddenly experienced a sharp decline in Spiritual Energy. The once-rich cultivation environment now retained only five-sevenths of its former strength.
Chu Tianshu, the ruler of Chu Country's royal family, was infuriated when he realized the cultivation grounds' abrupt change. He vowed to uncover the truth and bring the mastermind behind this to justice.
After extensive investigation, Chu Tianshu uncovered illusion recordings within the secret realm, unmistakably showing Gu Sheng's silhouette.
