The memories transmitted by the Echo Wanderer gave Chen Miao a wealth of information.
Although this information could not yet directly prove anything about the Eastern Mausoleum, it at least proved that something was wrong with the origins of the ghosts in Ghost Cry Gorge.
The Echo Wanderer's memories were clearly a sharper version of the Whispering Wind Shard's dreams. In other words, more than half the ghosts throughout Ghost Cry Gorge had died in the same way.
Who were those masked Yin Cultivators?
Were they deliberately supplying the Eastern Mausoleum with bodies and ghosts born of unnatural deaths?
If so, what was the Eastern Mausoleum plotting?
Although he could not unravel these mysteries yet, Chen Miao was certain of one thing.
There really was something wrong with the Eastern Mausoleum-something seriously wrong!
Although Great Xia and the Demon-Suppressing Bureau did not treat ordinary people well, ordinary people remained essential to the functioning of Great Xia. Even Yin Cultivators could not do without them.
Thus, Great Xia and the Demon-Suppressing Bureau could not possibly permit the Eastern Mausoleum to do such things to ordinary people. If they truly condoned it, there would be no need to outlaw cultivators like those of the Blood Incense Path, who made offerings through blood sacrifices.
However, whether the Eastern Mausoleum had a serious problem, and what that problem might be, was beyond Chen Miao's control. He had no desire to get involved, either.

He still needed to prepare a way out.
After all, this identity had not come easily.
