Chapter 368 : Demon Trap (1)
The urgency of the situation demanded immediate action. Thus Village Head Chen, accompanied by Qiao Wei and Bai Ling, set out for Mount Wu without delay.
Having not seen the man for a long time after leaving Dong Village, Bai Siyang was pleasantly surprised to welcome him to his Wushan Temple.
"Village Head Chen, it has been quite a while!" a smile erupted on the sect leader’s face as he stood up, throwing his arms open wide in a heartfelt greeting.
"Indeed, indeed." Village Head Chen embraced Bai Siyang tightly, his eyes drinking in the opulent interior of the imposing temple. He could not help but feel a twinge of inadequacy when he found himself amidst so many accomplished cultivators, a feeling only amplified by the respect they showered upon him.
As the saying went, a gilded cage or a silver cage was not as good as one’s own dog kennel. He still felt a lot more comfortable back in his humble Dong Village. The village head thus hurried to report his predicament to Bai Siyang.
"Sect Leader Bai, I would never come to intrude if I had another choice. Please, please help us extinguish the evil spirits!"
Village Head Chen dropped to his knees and kowtowed three times in front of Bai Siyang.
"Evil spirits? What is going on?" Bai Siyang turned to look at Qiao Wei, who then cupped his hands and replied, "Shizun, Dong Village is facing some problems with spirits. So far, around ten people have been kidnapped by those spirits. According to Village Head Chen, they take the form of small children."
"Small children?"
Bai Siyang pulled Village Head Chen to his feet.
"Village Head, don’t be like this. Please take a seat," he said while gesturing to a nearby seat.
