"Waaah—"
The baby's crying echoed through the underground corridor.
It had none of the vitality of a new life. Instead, it carried an inexplicable sense of terror and death.
Dead Infant.
Anyone who heard the crying.
Would immediately picture the appearance of the Dead Infant.
This voice.
Must have come from the Dead Infant.
But.
Could the Dead Infant still cry?
Jiang Qiao glanced behind him. The Mysterious Woman had not followed.
"It's the Vengeful Infant."
Hefu spoke.
"He is one of the arbiters of the Celestial Church."
"Above the Ninth Rank."
"He has hope of advancing to Half-God in the future."
He did not hide anything, telling Jiang Qiao what he knew. "He is terrifying. Extremely terrifying. He looks like a gigantic infant, and his body carries a dreadful curse."
"As long as you appear near him, your body will begin to rot uncontrollably."
"Besides that."
"He can devour anything he sees."
"Ghosts, living people, supernatural phenomena, and even certain rules and concepts."
"So far."
"Aside from Demigod-Class beings and items, nothing has been found that he cannot swallow."
"So you must be especially careful."
Before he could finish.
Vaguely.
They heard a series of explosions outside. The entire corridor immediately began to shake violently, trembling with a buzzing sound.
"What is this now?" Wu Jia asked in alarm.
Jiang Qiao also looked at Hefu.
The explosions were no ordinary ones. Holy Spirit Island was a supernatural island; ordinary explosions could not possibly make it tremble.
"I don't know."
Hefu's expression remained gentle.
He showed no panic at all.
He said unhurriedly, "The Celestial Association is an extremely secretive organization. What we know is only the tip of the iceberg. We don't even know how many arbiters they have."
"But you don't need to worry."
"The Sage is here."
