Chapter 795: Changes In Cuiyun Palace
“So, where are we going?” In the darkness of the night, Qin Feng and his companions sped along.
Meng Shuang replied, “We’re heading to the Cuiyun Palace. That’s where Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva resides. I learned that after Zhao Wenhao left the Negate Bridge, he went there. He probably intends to use the divine beast under Bodhisattva’s command, Di Ting, to track your whereabouts. We can wait outside the palace and try to persuade him.”
“Are you sure we can trust this Zhao Wenhao? What if he’s in cahoots with Shentu? Won’t we be walking into a trap?” Qin Feng asked.
Meng Shuang nodded, “There is indeed a risk, but until Ghost Lord returns, he’s the only one I can think of to approach. He’s quite wise and reasonable.”
“When Shentu questioned Ghost Emperor Qin, the other Ghost Emperors remained silent, but he spoke up. When you meet him, take out the bone token; the chances of persuading him should be high.”
“Why not go find Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi? From your previous descriptions, it seems he holds a high position in the Netherworld, second only to Ghost Lord. And from your tone, you seem very convinced of him.”
Meng Shuang paused before expressing her doubts, “He was actually the first person I thought of, but Ghost Lord gave the bone token to you, not to Lord Zhou Qi. It made me feel something was off.”
“And despite Shentu’s misconduct after Ghost Lord’s departure, Lord Zhou Qi turned a blind eye, showing no intention to stop him. This aspect of Lord Zhou Qi makes me feel somewhat unfamiliar.”
“Are you implying that Shentu might not be the mastermind behind everything, and that it might be Zhou Qi?” Qin Feng asked solemnly.
