Chapter 68: Who is Your Master?
Ning Guang’s guess felt very unrealistic to Di Jiufeng––

First, what could that person’s objective have been? Was it because this person had some important information, or did they want to force them to go to the Lin family? The latter made some sense, but saying that person intentionally preserved the body just to put on a show now was nearly too unbelievable.

Were they able to see the future, even control the tides, just to make sure this corpse was delivered to them at just the right time?

Di Jiufeng said in suspicion, “Ning Guang, could your intuition be wrong? I keep thinking this is impossible, not to speak of that last scene that Qing Yu saw. This person could still move, in this vast dead sea, how could that person guarantee we would fish up this exact corpse?”

Ning Guang did not refute her, just looked meaningfully at the city lord’s people who had fished up the corpse, then leaned over by Di Jiufeng’s ear and whispered, “We would have to ask them why they wanted to let us see a corpse like this. And, do you really think that the one standing in front of us right now is Qing Yu? That resentful ghost of yours loved to stick to her, but now Qing Yu is free, why hasn’t it done anything?”

As Ning Guang finished, ‘Qing Yu’ suddenly started laughing loudly.

The sound was piercing, completely different from Qing Yu’s normal voice. She stepped back, disappearing into a roiling cloud of demonic energy, and an ordinary-looking, forgettable demon woman appeared in her place.

“You are quite smart, when did you find out?” The woman seemed confident, like she had some strong support, both hands behind her back, looking quite content.

Ning Guang pulled Di Jiufeng behind her. After she was safely guarded, she spoke, her face blank. “The waves of spiritual energy.”

“What?” The woman looked a bit confused, taking some time to think before she reacted. Her brow creased a bit, showing a somewhat vexed smile. “That was my mistake. Though I forced myself to change into a yao cultivator’s appearance, my source of power is still demonic energy. I could not cast any spells, fearing you would discover me, but I never thought that this was also a mistake. Fine, fine…”

The woman suddenly laughed. Seeing this, Ning Guang realized she was up to something, and stepped forwards to grab her.

But Ning Guang was a step too slow. Her hands only closed on a wisp of demonic energy.

The woman rushed into the midst of the city lord’s people with a single leap. She did something to make a dense column of black smoke explode into the air, covering up the whole sky in a field of black.

“Not good, she’s trying to run!” Seeing that woman leap away, Ning Guang understood. But it was already too late. The black smoke covered everything in only a split second, and when she went to chase her, everything was dark, too dark to see your own hand if you stretched out your arm. Thick and heavy demonic energy wound around everyone like dense ink.

“No good, we can’t catch up anymore.” Ning Guang sighed, there really was no way to find her tracks.
