It was the Ghost Beast that was always by Sha's side!
It looked like a cross between a tiger and a lion, with jet-black fur and long, powerful limbs. Cyan and red flames coiled around its shoulders, back, and all four paws. Even after intentionally shrinking its body, it was still over ten meters long, exuding an immense, oppressive aura.
The Ghost Beast's red eyes stared intently at Sang Luo, like a starving wolf that had just locked onto a plump flock of sheep. Greedy! Dangerous!
Sang Luo's expression changed drastically. She backed away, turned, and fled. After teleporting several times to escape the Rashamon Palace, she could no longer hear the Ghost Beast's panting behind her. But when she turned to look forward again, the relieved smile on her face froze.
The Ghost Beast was blocking her path up ahead, watching her with an amused expression.
She could have sworn she saw a flicker of human-like emotion in its eyes...
