The moment the slug demon uttered those words, Master and I both paled.
Murano Mita—she was Uncle Yu's sworn enemy.
The killers who had murdered Master's wife and elder brother back then were Suzuki Shuichi, Murano Mita, and Mitaka Kojiro.
Suzuki Shuichi had died at the Japan stronghold in Mountain City, and Mitaka Kojiro had died at East Mountain Daoist Temple on South Island. Now, only Murano Mita remained.
