Tang Yusheng?!
He was Tang Yusheng?
Seeing that face, younger even than theirs, Lin Qiye's mind shook, and the white cub he had seen in the Virtual Reconstruction world surfaced in his mind once more.
Was this what Bai Ze's descendants looked like after taking human form?
"Greetings, Senior Tang," Lin Qiye and the others said respectfully.
Tang Yusheng glanced at Li Kengqiang, who raised his brows at him with an expression that said, "I have faith in you."
Tang Yusheng sighed.
"Follow me."
Tang Yusheng's figure flashed, drifting off the mountain rock and flying straight toward the waters east of the island. Lin Qiye and the others exchanged glances before following closely behind.
The silent island swept beneath Lin Qiye. A shimmering expanse of sea glittered under the sunlight before them. After leaving the island and flying three or four kilometers over the sea, they spotted a cluster of black reefs.
Holding the Heavenly Halberd, Tang Yusheng landed atop one of the reefs. Snow-white waves crashed against the rocks, rumbling like thunder.
Lin Qiye and the others landed on the reefs as well, waiting for Tang Yusheng's next instruction.
Tang Yusheng's gaze swept across the group before lingering briefly on the Black Coffin behind An Qingyu. Then he pointed at it and asked,
"Is this coffin important?"
An Qingyu froze. "...Very important."
"It can't be damaged, right?"
"...It can't."
"Oh." Tang Yusheng nodded. "Then take it off first and place it on a reef farther away."
Though An Qingyu did not understand why, he obediently did as instructed, placing the Black Coffin containing Jiang Er's corpse on the farthest reef. Ghostly Jiang Er floated in place, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Senior Tang, what are we doing next?" Lin Qiye took the initiative to ask after An Qingyu returned.
