After directly killing Mo Gu, Ling Yunpo disappeared once more in front of everyone.
The elders of the Nether Ghost Path instantly descended into chaos, none of them having anticipated that the Tai Yin Sword Master would brazenly infiltrate their ranks and take out Mo Gu so decisively.

At this point, the lack of unified command became glaringly obvious.
Some elders of the Nether Ghost Path immediately chose to pursue the Sword Master in the given direction.
Others, however, suspected that the reported location was bait, likely rigged with traps waiting for them to step into, and thus refrained from chasing.
