Chapter 799: Living Enter Not, Or Else
“That’s it! The owner!”
Cang Qingmei too was drowning in despair when suddenly, a memory struck her. She did not wait to inform anyone about her thoughts before breaking off into a run toward the counter.
Leng Tianjue was the first one to realize what she was about. All this had happened only after they entered the inn, meaning that the inn owner was most likely the mastermind behind their predicament. If they killed him, they might yet be able to escape this place!
A ray of hope pierced through the darkness welling inside Leng Tianjue’s heart. He understood that it was entirely possible for their assumption to be wrong, but at least it was still a ray of hope; a chance to make it out of this place alive.
By now, Cang Qingmei had reached the counter. However, she quickly discovered that there was no one behind it.
“Where is he?!”
Cang Qingmei was both surprised and confused. If the inn owner did not exist, then who was the one who served them food earlier?
It was at this moment Cang Qingmei noticed the large shrine sitting on top of the counter and the mysterious statue it enshrined. Now that she thought about it, the statue looked exactly the same as the one who served them. They were both wearing black robes that covered their features from head to toe.
Is this statue the one who served us earlier?!
