"Why was he here? No, Zhou Tie was only an ordinary man. After all these years, he should have died long ago. How could he still be alive?" Shen Luo was quite startled and scrutinized Zhou Tie.
There was still not the slightest fluctuation of magic power coming from Zhou Tie. He was unquestionably an ordinary man, yet Shen Luo felt something strange emanating from his entire body, as though he differed from ordinary people in some way. Without careful observation, it would have gone unnoticed.
"So the person Fellow Daoist Gu was waiting for was Fellow Daoist Ghost Vine. Instead of refining corpses in your cave abode, you actually came all the way to Heavenly Mechanism City. What a rare sight." Lady Yunxia spoke with a cold sneer, seemingly acquainted with the gaunt old man.
"Refining corpses!" Shen Luo abruptly shuddered and looked toward the gaunt old man, a faint glint of ferocity flashing through his eyes.
Xie Yuxin had been his friend for many years, only to be inexplicably refined into an earthly fiend corpse king. Although he had already helped her soul pass on to the Underworld, he knew little about why she had ended up that way. Ghost Yan was already dead, and Shen Luo had thought there was no way to investigate the truth any further. He had never expected to find some clues here.
Ghost Yan had refined Xie Yuxin into an earthly fiend corpse king here in the Boundless Sea of Sand, and now Zhou Tie was beside this gaunt old man. The old man was a cultivator from the Boundless Sea of Sand and was proficient in the Refined Corpse Technique. In all likelihood, he had something to do with what had happened to Xie Yuxin.
Shen Luo then closed his eyes
