"Yama?
"This guy was actually one of Yama's people?
"He was a subordinate of Huangquan, the one who wielded spacetime attributes?"
Little Ren's eyes flew wide. As an assassin of Three Incense Sticks, one of the dark factions, no matter how extensive his intelligence network was, he had never heard the name "Water Ghost" before.
But who had not heard of the great Yama Huangquan? This was someone nearly as famous as the Saint Slave's First Seat!
Because Holy Spirit Hall still kept them in check, Three Incense Sticks would not disrupt the order of the righteous path even when carrying out assassination missions.
But organizations like Saint Slave and Yama, true dark organizations, either opposed the world's order or defied the continent's rules. They simply could not be mentioned in the same breath.
The former had openly declared war on Holy Spirit Hall and had even used the hand of a Saint to wage open and covert battles atop the Yunlun Mountain Range this time.
Though the latter kept a low profile, as far as Little Ren knew, what Yama had craved all these years was the Lei Clan Eye.
That was tied to the Lei Clan Tragedy.
Rumors even claimed that traces of the Imperial Control Bureau could be found in the Lei Clan Tragedy.
Someone who had emerged from such a terrifying dark faction...
"No wonder he's so strong, and even commands the water-elemental Great Path!" Little Ren's heart instantly sank to rock bottom. Both were Taixu, yet he was so despairing that he could not even summon the will to resist.
His thoughts quickly returned from the other man's identity to the matter at hand.
Little Ren had not forgotten that Water Ghost had been willing to reveal his identity solely because of his peculiar habit.
