"So, old sir, you're welcoming me here for a bit of sightseeing, huh?"
Jiang Qiao asked.
"Of course little friend is welcome to tour the canyon, though there is no scenery to speak of here." Wang Kui smiled, his half-faced skull trembling as he looked rather terrifying.
"Meeting is by fate, and I do happen to know of a place that might interest my little friend."
Here it comes!
This old bastard had been beating around the bush for ages.
All sorts of foreshadowing.
First corpse demons, then the Nether Era, and finally a Supernatural place formed by laws—all of it was meant to stir up Jiang Qiao's curiosity, and now came the main point.
"What place?" Jiang Qiao played along and asked.
"After the corpse demon died, his rules turned into Bone Canyon, and all those piled-up skeletons were his friends, family, and subordinates."
"However."
"Aside from the rules, he left something else behind."
"A Supernatural Item!"
"The corpse demon had a heavy murderous intent, killing many powerhouses and looting quite a few good things. The most valuable among them, and the one that brought disaster upon his head, was a Night Pearl from the Green Lotus Sect."
"In order to seize the Night Pearl, he took a risk and killed the offspring of a major figure from the Green Lotus Sect."
Green Lotus Sect.
Night Pearl.
Jiang Qiao's gaze flickered slightly.

This old thing was probably trying to use him as a scapegoat.
The method was a bit crude.
Yet if there was profit to be made, it could still attract people.
Such was the Supernatural Circle, after all.
It was all you scheming against me and me deceiving you.
Utter deceit.
One felt he could catch a fish, while the other felt he could eat
