"So that was indeed what happened. The people of the Underworld used the Heavenly Dao Eye to watch us. Seeing us spend the night with these Snake-person maidservants, they spotted an opening and struck at once!" Gu Duanhe said furiously.
"However..." Madam Qiumei suddenly seemed to want to say something, yet she hesitated with some concern.
Yang Chen knew what Madam Qiumei was worried about and said, "Daoist Friend Qiumei, just say it. I have already set up restrictions around us for protection. Even if the Heavenly Dao Eye pierces through, it can only see us. It cannot hear what we say, much less penetrate the voice transmissions between us."
As the saying went, while men acted, Heaven watched. Yet at their level of cultivation, there were still some things they could do to deceive Heaven and cross the sea.
Hearing this, Madam Qiumei let out a long breath. "Daoist Friend Yang Chen truly considers everything thoroughly. In that case, I shall speak frankly. There is still something I do not understand. Could it be that these Underworld Ghost Kings had been lying in ambush nearby all along? Otherwise, even if Underworld ghostly creatures detected us through the Heavenly Dao Eye, they could not possibly have arrived here so quickly."
"That makes sense. Could these Ghost Kings have been lying in wait around us from the start? If that is truly the case, then Feng Huang and the other members of the Snake People Clan cannot escape suspicion." Gu Duanhe thought it over, growing more frightened the deeper he considered it, anger surging across his face.
King Daoguang gritted his teeth. "I said Feng Huang harbored no good intentions. Those not of our race must harbor different hearts."
"Brother Daoguang and Brother Gu, do not jump to conclusions too hastily.
