Chapter 123: Escape
“Damn it—it’s the ghost wardens!”
Jiao Hengyi’s face turned pale as he saw the flickering ghostly lights drawing nearer. He had been too caught up in smashing those bottles and hadn’t realized they were being watched. His heart sank sharply, and he instinctively turned to Yun Jiao for help.
“Fellow Daoist Yun, what do we do?”
Setting aside the bottles for now, simply trespassing in the Underworld was already a grave offense.
Yun Jiao’s expression darkened. Calmly, she pulled out two talismans, slapped one onto each of their chests, and—still with that eternally serious face—looked at him solemnly, took a serious step back, turned around seriously, took a serious stride forward, and then, with the same grave expression—started running.
Faster.
And faster.
And faster!
She answered his question through action.
