Three days had passed.
The Heavenly Gate Pass remained enveloped in calm.
Although news of Great Zhou's downfall continued to ferment, it didn't have much impact on Great Qin for now.
Up to this point, not a whisper about Gu Xuanji's death had leaked out, showing that the secrecy measures were well implemented.
However, after talking with Dongfang Zhao, Shen Changqing knew that even though it seemed as if not a single word had slipped out on the surface, there were in fact undercurrents stirring in the shadows.
After all, if Gu Xuanji remained out of sight for a prolonged period, it would naturally prompt suspicion.
However, these matters had no significant impact on him.
When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.
Now, Gu Xuanji was that tall one.
If Gu Xuanji had the audacity to fake his death to lure out the Demon Saint, then he must be confident in handling the Demon Saint.
If Gu Xuanji's plan truly backfired, Shen Changqing was confident he could retreat safely.
