Mo Hua felt that Flower Gentleman's death seemed far too natural, too devoid of any trace of interference.
He had been dragged into the Taoist Court, subjected to punishment, interrogated relentlessly, and afterward cast away into the Taoist Prison.
After that, it was as though he had ceased to exist.
Shackled in chains, starved, unattended, his injuries worsening, no one spared him so much as a glance or spoke a single word. He simply "withered away."
*Even in death, it seemed no one noticed.*
*No one even claimed his corpse.*
And yet, this was clearly inconsistent with the strict rules of the Taoist Court.
That was why Mo Hua suspected that someone within the Taoist Court had betrayed them and orchestrated his death in secret—hidden away in the oppressive, impenetrable darkness of the Taoist Prison, silencing Flower Gentleman forever.
Besides, Flower Gentleman obviously held clues related to Fire Buddha.
Gu Changhuai's expression darkened.
