To be honest, Chen Feng had felt a little conflicted on the way over.
Cihang Bodhisattva had saved him from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but that didn't necessarily make her an ally.
There was the corruption the Great Yokai had mentioned.

Both proved that Cihang Bodhisattva was no saint.

She Qingqing fell silent.
