Chapter 119: Rescue the Hostage, or Finish Her Off
Deep in the underground chamber, Young Master Liu walked with an ashen face through a row of female ghosts wearing grinning burlap sacks, came to a stand laid with red candles and incense offerings, and held a talisman over the flame until it caught.
The candlelight wavered. A hollow, drifting voice rose from the nameless spirit tablet on the stand.
"What is it?"
Young Master Liu said urgently, "I've done everything you asked of me. What do I do now? How do I get out?"
"A sacrifice."
"Always a sacrifice..."
Young Master Liu gritted his teeth. If this picky old thing hadn't been demanding blood sacrifices day after day, none of this would have gotten him noticed in the first place.
"How many did you bring?"
The female ghost behind him threw Hu Caiyi, bound hand and foot with her mouth stuffed, at Young Master Liu's feet.
