And as soon as she spoke, Xiao Tianquan also clasped his hands saying:
"Xia Official, I am incompetent but would like to go as well."
"You?" Xia Official was slightly stunned.
Xiao Tianquan stated righteously:
"Water Yama is extremely wicked; everyone should eradicate him. Last time he got away, I couldn’t eat or sleep in peace. This time I will ensure he is brought to justice, please approve this, Official."
Xia Official looked at Xiao Tianquan, recalled her uncle’s instructions before coming, and nodded:
"Alright, you may go."
"Yes." Xiao Tianquan clasped his hands.
Gu Changhuai thought Xiao Tianquan was eager to earn merits and did not mind.
But Master Xiao, on the side, showed a hint of indifference and also some hostility when looking at Xiao Tianquan.
The Taoist Court then prepared the Spirit Boat.
Gu Changhuai, Xia Official, along with the Xiao family’s Master Xiao and Xiao Tianquan, together boarded the Spirit Boat headed toward the depths of the mist.
As they moved, Master Xiao, who always squinted and smiled forcibly, turned his head to glance at the wreckage, blood mixed with fire, the Rouge Boat still not burned out, his eyes slightly opened.
In his eyes lay a sea of blood.
Strands of Evil Qi flowed within.
...
Within the Dragon King Temple.
Mo Hua and his party continued to walk into the temple.
The temple was spacious, with high walls and flying eaves, quite imposing. However, along the way, it was empty and dead quiet, without any sound.
Water Yama and Xie Liu felt increasingly uneasy.
Even Mo Hua felt a twinge of unease in his heart.
They walked all the way to a large hall, Water Yama hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, knocked on the door, and said:
"Mr. Witch, I brought ’offerings’."
There was no response from inside.
"Mr. Witch?"
Water Yama frowned.
"Where is everyone in the temple? Where have they gone?"
"Mr. Witch, are you here?"
"Mr. Witch..."
Water Yama’s voice grew lower, and his mood became more solemn.
At that moment, there was a sound of something dripping. Water Yama’s expression stiffened, quickly withdrew a few steps, moving away from his spot.
Simultaneously, something fell from the beam above, crashed to the ground.
Everyone looked intently.
It was a bloody corpse.
