Flames were burning wildly. The junkyard was piled with the Frenzy Poppies Mo Fan and his group were looking for. It was obvious that the Frenzy Poppies had already been refined into the Frenzy Liquid. They were only burning the remains of the flowers. The strange smell in the air made Mo Fan feel like he had set foot into an opium hall in the eighteen-hundreds. His throat actually felt sticky from the smoke!

Sounds were approaching Mo Fan rapidly from every direction. Mo Fan looked around and noticed six people in brown kasayas [classic Buddhist monk-style robe] standing not far from him. Their faces were hidden under the hoods of their robes, revealing only painted blue lips and scarred chins.

Standing behind them, Blue Bat had changed into a different outfit. Her dark red and tight-fitting clothing with snake stripes made her look like a venomous snake. Her eyes emitted a toying glow at her prey.

“I wonder how much your Cultivation has improved lately. I can test your skills with a few of my Executioners, who I’m very proud of,” Blue Bat informed him gleefully.

Mo Fan did not answer her question. He was focusing on the other person standing beside Blue Bat.

The person standing there beside her was wearing a kasaya too, but its color had already faded away. His face was covered by a piece of cloth, leaving only his eyes visible.

The man was staring at Mo Fan. Mo Fan’s Dark Vein became restless at that instant. It’s ability to predict danger was active!

The Dark Vein burst out of Mo Fan’s pores and sent a shiver down his spine.

However, Mo Fan found both the man’s eyes and his temperament very familiar, including the alert from the Dark Vein.

“It’s him!”

Mo Fan soon recalled who the man was. He had met him before!

He had seen him in the Sacred City of Lhasa when he and Mu Ningxue were strolling through the streets. It was the worshiper who had given him an uneasy feeling!

Mo Fan thought he was the Heretic the Sacred Palace Mage and Heresy Judgment Court were after. Even though they were looking for Qin Yu’er, Mo Fan somehow had a feeling the man was a Heretic, too.

Why is the man here? He remembered Lily mentioning that they had invited a master from China. Was she referring to this man?

“Let’s hope you enjoy yourself here. Wu Ku, time for us to leave. We have something more important to handle,” Blue Bat told the monk beside her.

Mo Fan pointed at Wu Ku and yelled, “Don’t go yet! Shouldn’t you be delivering all living creatures from suffering as a monk? Why are you taking the side of the evildoers instead?!”

“Seeing the world suffering will deliver me from my own sufferings,” Wu Ku removed the cloth on his face, revealing a sincere yet twisted grin.

“Damn it, another lunatic again!” Mo Fan cursed aloud.

“Mo Fan, how amusing are you, treating Wu Ku as a real monk! He’s the mastermind behind the tragedy that took place in your Bo City!” Blue Bat laughed at him.

Mo Fan’s face darkened. He glared at Wu Ku, who was obviously neither a monk nor a Daoist!

“Blue Bat, are you seriously giving up on your soul too?” Mo Fan said coldly.
