The air was hazy with yin energy, damp and cold.
In the dim cave dwelling, Tang Sanzang sat bound, his expression calm. Standing before him was none other than Elder Jinchi.
"Elder Jinchi, you've certainly been hiding your true nature well!"
Tang Sanzang said calmly.
Who would have thought that a revered, enlightened monk would fall into the Devil Dao and become an evil fiend who slaughtered the innocent?
