Hearing the disrespect in Xu Chunniang's words, An Yue grew somewhat angered. Given her master's status, when had anyone ever dared speak to him like that?
But thinking of her master's plans and the importance he placed on Xu Chunniang, she forcibly swallowed her anger.
The Black Bone Skeleton's attitude did not change because of Xu Chunniang's threat. "A few small fry are not worth troubling Fellow Daoist Xu over. Please wait here a moment. I'll be back shortly."
Xu Chunniang was more than happy to have some leisure. This was the perfect chance to gauge his true capabilities.
The Black Bone Skeleton walked toward where the group had made camp, and the sky suddenly darkened.
Sinister winds raged, black clouds bore down overhead, and something seemed to be stirring restlessly.
The several Heavenly Demons left behind in the tents quickly noticed something amiss nearby and emerged one after another.
"What dense sinister resentment! What's going on? Haven't we already cleared out all the evil creatures on Lion Camel Peak?"
"This is the depths of an ancient burial ground, after all. Even if the nearby evil creatures have been wiped out, we cannot let down our guard."
The group frowned. Just as they were about to investigate the source of the sinister resentment, it suddenly condensed into a skeletal hand before their eyes, reaching clawed fingers toward one of them.
"Ah!"
The person targeted by the skeletal hand reacted swiftly. The instant he sensed danger, he leaned back and retreated. Yet the moment he moved, the skeletal hand followed, even faster than him, and locked around his throat on the spot!
Feeling death's threat, he hurriedly attacked the skeletal hand, trying to break it. Yet this seemingly slender bone hand was sturdier than a demon artifact tempered a thousand times
