"Good, very good."
Ling Shuo nodded expressionlessly, took a step back, and withdrew the Light of Redemption from his hand: "Since you have such loyalty and integrity, accompany Ji Jue on the journey then..."
The darkness boiled, and as a thread of candlelight drifted away, strange hands stretched out once more.
Under the weak candlelight's call and command, in the direction where countless arms extended, a huge rotten face with exposed bones faintly emerged.
Crack—crack—crack—
In the sound of bones grinding against each other, the Taboo Beast, nurtured by countless curses over the years, slowly approached, its hands pulling at Ling Shuo, lifting his soul.
It opened its mouth excitedly, inhaled deeply, foul-smelling breath roared out, chaotic teeth exposed, and upon them, a twisted face squirmed, howling mournfully.
Just like that, it lightly tossed Ling Shuo into the dark mouth.
The curse's end, the mouth of destruction suddenly snapped shut!
Then...
Crunch!
