At those words, the space around the four chariots seemed to freeze in an instant.
To Nether-Spring Yama's senses, water was supremely yielding, yet supremely clear.
Of the six people disguised as Corpse Ghouls, Li Xiang's [Blood-Locking Stitch] and [Leakless Body] could indeed seal away all signs of life, while Lin Xuanshu's Lunar Form-Refining Art could deceive heaven itself.
