Black stone asked in alarm, "This involves Zhao Xiongge. Black Li may have been dragged into it as well. If we see him now, won't we alert the snake in the grass?"
Wu Chang said, "Black Li has always been watched by several parties. He's a peripheral figure. I know him—when he dealt with the Demon Cult, he never wanted trouble. There must have been some unavoidable reason for him to get involved. At a time like this, he hurried into the Sacred Realm and then came back out. Given his position, what else could it have been for?"
Black Stone pondered this. "Could he have gone to treat someone?"
Wu Chang said, "Yinji may not be dead! If we don't see him, it'll be hard to figure out what happened. He isn't someone who courts trouble, and he has no backbone to speak of. If he fails to appreciate our kindness, then we can only make him disappear."
Black stone said, "Understood. I'll make the arrangements." With that, he swiftly left the cave, found the contact from Medicine Valley again, and muttered a string of instructions.
Once the man understood what was wanted, he nodded and slipped back into the sea.
As the setting sun stained the vast sea, the man returned. Rising from the water alongside him was the Ghost Doctor.
When he saw Black Stone, the Ghost Doctor respectfully bowed, though inwardly he was smiling bitterly. Just as that person had predicted, it was as if he possessed divine foresight—the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land had indeed come looking. He simply had not expected them to come so quickly.
From another angle, the person behind the scenes had already seized the Heavenly Demon Sacred Land by the nose. No wonder he had overturned six of the Nine Saints.
