Zhao Yi rode the Taotie to Sumeru Mountain and immediately sensed something different about the place.
Hui Yan was missing.
Zhao Yi remembered that when he left, this ambitious monk was busy rebuilding Little Leiyin Temple. However, after sweeping the entire Sumeru Mountain with his divine sense, he found no trace of Hui Yan.
There were two possibilities in this situation.
One, he had temporarily left; two, he was dead.
Zhao Yi felt the second possibility was greater because he caught a whiff of a smell similar to the stench of decaying corpses in the air.
This odor Zhao Yi hadn't encountered elsewhere, not even on a demon cultivator practicing demon techniques, was it so foul.
Zhao Yi speculated that it was likely an undead mage from the magic world.
Those people dealt with corpses year-round and were always surrounded by undead creatures, so it was normal for them to carry the stench of decay.
