The old Daoist glanced at the Emperor of Great Liang. The aged emperor wore an awkward expression, though he smiled as he looked at the old Daoist before him.
"Senior?"
"Mm."
The old Daoist looked at the aged emperor. "You don't look like a good man."
"This..."
"Wait until this Daoist has uncovered the cause of this matter."
The old Daoist looked at Ling Zhenzi and the aged emperor. "Have you seen anyone else enter this place?"
Ling Zhenzi hurriedly shook his head. "Only myself and these two friends. There was no one else."
The aged emperor nodded as well. "Correct. We are at fault. I beg Senior to investigate clearly."
The old Daoist pondered for a moment, then continued, "Demons have emerged into the world. This poor Daoist bears the duty of sealing demons. Keep your Yellow Talismans on. I will send you out of here first, then carry out the demon-sealing rite."
Ling Zhenzi could only nod.
"Senior is right."
The aged emperor could only bow and scrape.
"Senior is a True Lord of the Longevity Realm. We shall all heed Senior's arrangements."
The old Daoist casually flicked his horsetail whisk. "Follow me..."
"No need."
Su Che's voice was cold and clear.
"Hmm?"
With a cold snort, the old Daoist turned toward Su Che. "You little brat, don't fail to appreciate kindness. This old man kindly offers to send you out, yet you dare refuse. Could it be that you are in league with those demons?"
"Brother Zuo, before a senior of the Celestial Master Sect, please watch your words."
Ling Zhenzi shouted sternly from the side.
The aged emperor kept silent, his gaze upon Su Che filled with venomous hatred.
"There's no point in keeping up this act."
Su Che looked at the old Daoist before him.
