Chapter 67.1: Return Journey
Bright Moon Divine Temple
A graceful and elegant woman in a cloud coloured dress was seated quietly in the darkness in a room filled with twinkling specks of blue lights.
Surrounded by those blue light specks, were numerous square shaped jade tokens, every one of those tokens flas.h.i.+ng intermittently, looking like countless eyes suspended up in the air.
Suddenly, a rattling sound reached the ears. It was a jade token on the extreme left that was suddenly shaking, before it quickly fell down to smash into pieces, to turn into a fine powder.
The woman's exquisite brows and eyes were then tinged into a slight smile and right after that, a pleasing voice then rang out softly. ”Yin Chi's soul tablet….. has crumbled. She died so pitifully.”
The ten of thousand jade tokens in here all represented the fate of a person. The intensity of its glow showed a person's life force and if its light was extinguished, it would mean that the person has died.
And the extent of the damage on the soul tablet indicated the kind of pain the person had suffered before his death. If that person had died peacefully, the soul tablet would just lose its light. Breaking into half would mean that person had died unnaturally, and when it broke and crumbled it would mean that they had been tormented to death. The crumbled dust that Yin Chi's soul tablet had turned into meant that her spirit soul had completely dispersed, and not a single bit of her presence existed anymore.
”Temple Lord, I fear that someone else's hand has a part in this. It has been quite a while since Yin Chi died but it is only now that her spirit has been destroyed. It seems to me that the other party is intentionally doing this to throw us off.” A white robed man was standing just behind the woman, and he now came forward to say respectfully.
”Haha.” The woman laughed softly, seemingly in delight. ”Has the Dark Lord left from the Dark Regions recently?”
The white robed man was taken aback a moment, looking like he had been surprised by the question. ”He has. The Dark Lord left about seven days ago.”
”It would seem like this person that Yin Chi was seeking vengeance upon, in rather intricately linked to the Dark Lord. To think that he would personally go forth, it looks like he must be rather concerned!”
”Temple Lord, would you need me to go look into it? This person must not be underestimated and if he comes to Cloud Heaven in future, it might be disadvantageous to us.” The white robed man asked, testing the waters.
Hearing that, the woman narrowed her eyes ever so slightly and glanced at him. ”Don't stick your nose into it. Is a person that the Dark Lord seeks to protect someone you dare to antagonize?”
