Five years had passed, and Shen Heng had completely disappeared without a trace. There were still some who pursued the matter, but they found nothing at all.
Zhu Xiang had died, and even Gu Shanhai didn't know the cause of death. He'd only heard rumors that Zhu Xiang died the second year after closing his market. None of his offspring survived.
Gu Shanhai merely expressed regret, and there was nothing more to it.
He had some guesses about the reasons, all boiling down to the Spirit Vein that Zhu Xiang had purchased from Chengyun Sect.
In the hands of Chengyun Sect, no one would dare harbor any ill intentions towards the Spirit Vein, but once Zhu Xiang bought it, it was his. Although Chengyun Sect did offer after-sales service, they certainly couldn't be prompt all the time. It wasn't their personal property, so they weren't as concerned, making Zhu Xiang a soft target.
