"Great Worship, don't worry!"
Zhang Qingyang raised a hand and pressed it lightly downward, his voice steady and assured. "This is the Celestial Master Mansion. Anyone who comes in without my master's permission gets struck by lightning!"
"Those gods can't peer in here!"
At his words, Qian Daoliu's taut shoulders finally relaxed a little, and he let out a long, heavy breath.
Zhang Qingyang turned to Qian Xunji, his gaze falling on the Talisman Paper shimmering with golden light in his hand. "Your Holiness, let me have that Talisman Paper first. I'll check on the Saintess."
Qian Xunji handed it over without hesitation.
Zhang Qingyang took the Talisman Paper, walked over to Bibi Dong, and gently placed it against her forehead.
The instant it touched Bibi Dong's skin, its golden light dimmed slightly. But the Dao patterns on its surface raced wildly, radiating searing energy, and a faint, shrill scream could even be heard.
Zhang Qingyang stared at the blinding light, and his heart sank straight to the bottom of the valley.
Both their souls have been corroded by divine power...
He drew a deep breath and turned to Qian Daoliu. "Great Worship, I'd like to speak with you alone."
As he spoke, he brushed the Talisman Paper against the corner of Qian Daoliu's robe, as though by accident.
The Talisman Paper did not react.
Zhang Qingyang eased slightly. Then he shifted position and brought the Talisman Paper close to Qian Daoliu's wrist—
The Talisman Paper suddenly grew hot, its golden light flashing faintly.
Zhang Qingyang froze.
All three of them have traces of divine power...
Good heavens, how do all three of them have divine power?
Has divine power become this common?
The Sea God told me how hard divine power was to come by. Did he fool me?
