Chapter 1142: Frost and Heat
A jade-like skeletal hand grasped the invisible doorframe. It had no skin, tendons, or flesh—just pure white bone that was unstained by dust.
Around the bony wrist was a string of skull beads, each the size of a fingertip. The eye sockets of each skull flickered with eerie blue flames—a sight enough to unsettle anyone at first glance.
A woman stepped out from the Yin-Yang Gate, supporting herself against the frame. Her figure was slender and graceful, dressed entirely in white. The left half of her face was pale, almost translucent, while the right half was just gleaming bone and teeth, with wisps of strange black vapors drifting continuously from her mouth.
This was Madam Bai.
“Oh my, who might this be? Little girl, you’ve learned how to open doors for others now?” Madam Bai teased.
Little Yin immediately put on her cutesy act and said sweetly, “Hello, Auntie Bai!”
“Go on then. What does Sage Qi want this time?” Madam Bai spoke casually, though her gaze had already shifted toward Dragon Scale Island. She was not blind, and she could naturally sense the fierce battle happening over there.
Little Yin did not answer immediately. Instead, she asked, “Auntie Bai, how did you know Old Qi got promoted to the second rank?”
“The Daoist Order’s official bulletins. The Ghost Pass receives copies too,” Madam Bai replied casually as she stared toward Dragon Scale Island.
“I see...” Little Yin nodded and explained, “Old Qi and Second Deputy Zhang are trying to kill a Pseudo-Immortal named Wu Guangbi. They’re not entirely confident, so they want you to lend a hand.”
“Alright then.” Madam Bai vanished in a flicker.
On Dragon Scale Island, the entire luxurious villa had already shattered, reduced to a field of tiny fragments.
