Ming Sui and Tang San found a way to open the Angel God’s Parchment by using Ah Yin’s Soul Power, which carried the Angel Heart’s sacred attributes. After the Parchment revealed the power left for its descendants, the group planned to travel to Masca and claim it carefully, while avoiding Spirit Hall’s attention.
