Silence returned to the Red Brick House.
Sweat gradually welled up on Gu Qingshan. He took out a handkerchief and silently wiped his brow.
Cold sweat seeped out, slowly and involuntarily.
It was his body's reaction to death, and his Spirit Sense responding as well.
The Six Realms God Mountain Sword flew back and landed beside Gu Qingshan.
"Master, he's gone," Mountain Girl said.
"Mm," Gu Qingshan replied.
Earth Sword couldn't help asking, "Gu Qingshan, do you believe what he said?"
"Not a single word," Gu Qingshan said.
Mountain Girl was taken aback. "But you both said you'd ask each other questions—"
"We did. But why should we answer each other truthfully?" Gu Qingshan said.
Mountain Girl fell silent.
"Mountain Girl, you've seen Undying Sand with me, and witnessed the Dragon Ancestor and the Chaotic Snake King. You should be a little more perceptive," Gu Qingshan said.
"A little more perceptive?" Mountain Girl didn't understand.
"Look at those angels. They can't even withstand a single attack from the Chaotic Snake King. What gives them the right to shout about destroying the Six Paths of Reincarnation?" Gu Qingshan sneered.
"Master, you mean—" Mountain Girl began.
"The Chaotic Snake King isn't at full strength, which is why Red Ghost was able to seal him. Red Ghost comes from the Evil Ghost World, and is one of the two divine artifacts that rule it: either the Heavenly King or the Ghost," Gu Qingshan said.
Mountain Girl fell into thought.
—The Ghost Talisman of the Evil Ghost World could contend with the Chaotic Snake King.
And the Six Paths of Reincarnation consisted of six worlds. The other artifact spirits might be even more powerful.
Thinking about it that way, Yu Juan's words from earlier seemed laughable.
The entire church couldn't withstand a single attack.
