"Not only did you kill them," Mo Hua continued, "you also ’ate’ them..."
Mr. Witch’s face instantly turned deathly pale, a mix of urgency and anger in his eyes as he pointed at Mo Hua and said:
"You little wretch, you’re slandering me! How... how could I possibly eat people? I... I..."
"Look at the corner of your mouth, what is that?"
Mo Hua’s voice was calm, but to Mr. Witch’s ears, it sounded as chilling as a ghost from Hell.
Mr. Witch smacked his lips and only then did he taste the blood in his mouth.
There were even strands of meat stuck between his teeth.
This blood was human blood, and these strands of meat...
Mr. Witch’s eyes rolled back as he suddenly vomited frantically on the ground, as if trying to expel his liver and gallbladder.
Looking at Mr. Witch, Mo Hua murmured in slight surprise, "He truly didn’t know..."
Everyone watched Mr. Witch, on the verge of vomiting his guts out after just a few words from Mo Hua, then turned to look at Mo Hua silently, unable to speak...
Mr. Witch vomited for a long time, almost to the point of really expelling his insides, before he managed to regain himself a little.
Yet, in his heart, he still couldn’t accept the fact that he had killed a Believer of the Divine Lord and devoured their flesh.
"It must be you, it was you! It was you who killed, it has nothing to do with me..."
Mr. Witch cried hysterically.
Water Yama, not wanting to bear this "guilt," said sincerely, "Mr. Witch, you should recognize me, I am also a Believer of the Divine Lord, I..."
"Shut up!" Mr. Witch shouted angrily, "I understand now, it must be you, you brought these villains here, you betrayed the Divine Lord, you are also the sinner of the Divine Lord!"
Water Yama’s face turned unsightly.
Master Xiao’s eyes flickered slightly, then he said, "Mr. Witch seems to know nothing, so there’s no use keeping him. In that case, let’s cut open his stomach and retrieve that Token, so we can leave."
Mr. Witch was shocked, "What do you mean cut open my stomach?"
Master Xiao looked at him and said slowly, "You transformed into a monster, stole our Token, and swallowed it."
Mr. Witch said, "Impossible!"
Master Xiao disregarded him, "I’ll cut open your stomach, take out the Token and show you, then you’ll know."
Mr. Witch, in terror, said, "How could that be done? I’m gravely injured, once my stomach is cut open, how could I survive? Even if I don’t die, I’ll be left with half a life."
Master Xiao said coldly, "Whether you live or die, what does it matter to me? I only want the Token."
"But there’s truly no token in my belly."
"How do you know there’s none?"
"I would know if there was anything foreign in my stomach."
"I don’t believe you."
"You..."
Master Xiao drew his sword, ready to cut open Mr. Witch’s stomach.
Mr. Witch was pale with fear, powerless to resist, "There truly isn’t, there isn’t the slightest feeling of a foreign object in my abdomen..."
But Master Xiao wasn’t listening; he believed only what he could see.
Just then, Mo Hua suddenly said, "Master Xiao, perhaps Mr. Witch truly has no token in his stomach."
Master Xiao paused, frowning, "Why?"
Mo Hua said, "He transformed into a monster, his flesh is too filthy, and can corrode external objects. That Fish Bone Token, it doesn’t look sturdy enough, after being swallowed for so long, it probably has been corroded by Blood Qi..."
"Yes, yes," Mr. Witch grasped at the straw he clung to, nodding vigorously, "This little... Little Daoist speaks the truth!"
Master Xiao’s expression was stern and silent, caught up in thought.
Mo Hua, seeing the opportunity, said to Mr. Witch, "Now that the Dragon King Temple’s doors are sealed, do you know any other way to leave the Dragon King Temple?"
Mr. Witch’s expression was hesitating.
Mo Hua’s tone grew colder, "Don’t blame me for not warning you, Master Xiao is not someone to be trifled with. If you’re of no use, even if there’s truly no token in your stomach, he will dissect you regardless..."
Mr. Witch’s face turned as white as paper. After pondering for a moment, he said through gritted teeth, "There is a way out..."
"What way?"
"I have another Token hidden..."
Mo Hua raised an eyebrow, "Where is it hidden?"
Mr. Witch looked frightened, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke slowly, "I hid it... inside the altar..."
Mo Hua paused, then a slight smile curved his lips.
