Soul-Snatching Horse-Face's expression changed drastically upon hearing Shen Luo's words, and his heart was far from calm.
Back then, he had personally taken part in the Jing River Dragon King's imprisonment of the Emperor Tang's soul, so he knew the details quite well. The Jing River Dragon King's daughter had later joined the Demon Clan, and it was hard to say whether the Jing River Dragon King had no connection to them. As for that mysterious figure who had cooperated with the Jing River Dragon King, he was certainly no decent sort and was very likely part of the Demon Clan as well.
Shen Luo had just asked whether the Underworld had Demon Clan infiltrators during the Demonic Calamity. The implication behind his words clearly showed that he thought the same.
"Thank you for the warning, Fellow Daoist Shen. This matter is of utmost importance. I will immediately send word to Lord Zhong Kui." These thoughts flashed through Soul-Snatching Horse-Face's mind. He gave Shen Luo a deep bow, took out a black jade token, and was about to form a hand seal to activate it.
"Wait." Shen Luo's gaze shifted as he raised a hand to stop Soul-Snatching Horse-Face.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, what is it?" Soul-Snatching Horse-Face asked in surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Horse Face, I deeply admire Lord Zhong Kui. But since we have yet to uncover that mysterious figure's identity, anyone could be suspect. If you and I had not known each other for a long time, and if we had not worked together to crush Demon Wind's scheme, I would not have told you about this matter," Shen Luo said.
"You suspect Lord Zhong Kui? This... that can't be possible..." Soul-Snatching Horse-Face stared wide-eyed.
"One can never go wrong by being cautious," Shen Luo said slowly.
"Very well.
