On the snow slope below, a thin figure draped in a tattered kasaya was stumbling along.
Eighteen Relic Buddhist Beads around the person's neck emitted a faint golden glow, the withered skin clinging to bones, and vacant eyes showed no light.
Lips and teeth parted, syllables shattered, yet obstinately murmured: "Buddha Beads... cannot leave the temple... cannot..."
Zhou Qing's pupils slightly contracted: "Master Kudi?"
During the last simulation, he had witnessed four Spirit Slash Realm Perfection Venerables from Jiyuan Temple join forces to suppress this corpse, yet it still managed to escape.
Later, when simulating deeper, he only saw Jue Ming and others attacked by a forbidden creature, but Master Kudi was already nowhere to be seen.
Now it seems, Jiyuan Temple ultimately failed to recapture him.
Whether Ku E succumbed to madness or Master Kudi fell to evil — these things have nothing to do with Zhou Qing.
