Cheng Yu decided to set out again. He had rested for several days since returning from his battle with Dark Man and Bloated Daughter.
Now, he no longer needed to stockpile life force to deal with the Weird Kings. And Cheng Yu knew perfectly well that the strange shudder he had felt back then meant there was some great terror behind all this-one he must not investigate too deeply.
