"Something else?"
Xue Baizhi looked at the man before her, who called himself Liu Yidao, "Ghost Slayer."
The Primal Pure Clarity Dharma Lotus above her head had been made by a reclusive ancestor in seclusion. Even the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, ever-present in Sinful Alley, could not harm her for the moment.
If she fought with all her strength, neither Liu Yidao before her nor Shikshananda added to his side would be her match.
"What does Fairy Xue think the Ancient Netherworld resembles?" Su Che asked calmly. "To me, this place looks more like a prison."
"A prison?"
Xue Baizhi thought of the Giant Corpse they had just seen. She did not know what it was, but she could not be certain it was truly dead.
And that had been only an appetizer, encountered not long after they entered the Ancient Netherworld. Who knew what terrifying monsters lurked at its heart?
"Exactly. If this is a prison, the best thing to do is throw away the key that lets anyone escape."
Xue Baizhi looked at Su Che and immediately understood what Master Liu intended to do.
He wanted to destroy the Sin Mirror.
The Ancient Netherworld was, in a sense, a place with no way out. Yet one key remained within it.
That key was the Sin Mirror.
According to Shikshananda, anyone who obtained the Mirror Sea Flower could leave the Ancient Netherworld through the Sin Mirror.
Xue Baizhi did not know whether the headless Giant Corpse had enough intelligence to manage that. What frightened her more was that someone might enter and, for selfish gain, release the things inside the Ancient Netherworld back into the world.
Leaving aside the wealth that might lie within, even the headless Giant Corpse could hardly have been an obscure, ordinary figure
