"There's one more thing," Yang said, looking at Qin Manjiang. "[Eye Realm] is colliding with our real world. Some curses and Vengeful Ghosts have already slipped through the weak gaps. Although it won't reach the point of bodies littering the ground and blood running in rivers anytime soon, Lower River Village and this place, where spacetime is already weak, will become two enormous exits from [Eye Realm] into reality. The underwater Guanyin Statue is keeping things suppressed here, so this place should be all right for now."
Yang shook his head. "But not Lower River Village. If we don't deal with it, the Vengeful Ghosts and curses in [Eye Realm] will pour out from there and destroy the entire world."

Shen Hai raised an eyebrow, and some of the aversion in his eyes actually faded. "You're much more interesting now than when you used to put on that hypocritical act."
"I did have other purposes for helping you in [Eye Realm], but you did receive my help. So far, none of my actions have harmed any of you," Bai Yang said.

"It seems you've learned quite a lot." Bai Yang nodded. His expression still showed no trace of embarrassment
