Chapter 1637: Chapter 852: Bone Order (2) Mo Hua’s eyes narrowed slightly, feigning that nothing had happened, silently blending into the crowd. The group arrived in front of the altar, looking at the ram’s skull, and everyone halted. For some reason, the altar was shrouded in a chilling aura, as if a terrifying will had descended here, making hearts uneasy, not daring to step forward. Even the Xia Canonical Official, who did not believe in the "Divine Lord" and thought that the cultivators in the Dragon King Temple were merely using the name of "god" to unleash killing intent and were mad in spirit, felt a trace of unease, sensing something was amiss. Master Xiao asked Mr. Witch, "Where is the Fish Bone Token?" Mr. Witch pointed to the offering table and said, "Below that offering table, at the very center of the cushion, there’s a secret compartment when you lift it." Master Xiao glanced at the altar, particularly at the offering table with the ferocious ram’s skull displayed, feeling apprehensive, not daring to go over himself, he said to Mr. Witch: "Go honestly to fetch the token without making any rash moves. My sword Qi is locked onto your heart, a slight disturbance and I’ll take your life." Mr. Witch complied, saying, "Yes." He proceeded forward but before reaching the altar, he started bowing, muttering prayers and apologies like "forgive the disrespect, Divine Lord," seemingly afraid of provoking the wrath of the Evil God. He bowed every three steps and kowtowed every nine steps until he reached the offering table at the altar, where he knocked his head eight or nine times like pounding garlic. Only then did Mr. Witch lift the cushion and retrieve a wooden box from the secret compartment inside. He held the wooden box, bowed his head, and retreated respectfully, roughly thirty steps back, before turning around and walking straight to the group. "I have fetched the token." Mr. Witch said, and then he opened the wooden box before the crowd. Inside the box indeed lied a token made of fish bone, bizarre in appearance, similar to what the Water Yama had used previously. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂 Master Xiao turned back to glance at the Water Yama. The Water Yama examined the Fish Bone Token for a moment and nodded, "It’s indeed the key token, there’s no mistake." Only then did Master Xiao relax. Mr. Witch placed the wooden box with the Fish Bone Token on the ground, then slowly retreated, calmly observing the crowd. Yet none among them made a move. The atmosphere was momentarily tense. Earlier, perhaps there was a fleeting moment of "unity" among them, but that was earlier. Now that the token lay before them, the temporarily formed "team" unraveled on its own. "This token..." Master Xiao looked at Xia Canonical Official and Gu Changhuai, said in a serious tone, "Who will take it?" Gu Changhuai’s gaze fixed, "It’s certainly not going to be you." Master Xiao sighed, "After working together for so many years, Supervisor Gu, you still don’t trust me." Gu Changhuai sneered, "Precisely because we’ve worked together for so many years, I do not trust you." Master Xiao’s gaze darkened a bit, speaking earnestly: "To be frank with you both, the Dragon King Temple is full of weirdness, fighting internally here is unwise. Why not we hold off temporarily and settle any grievances after leaving the temple..." Gu Changhuai frowned slightly, asking, "What do you propose?" Master Xiao pointed to the Fish Bone Token on the ground, "To show sincerity, I can hand over the token to you two for safekeeping." "As long as you guarantee the temple door can be opened, allowing me to leave the Dragon King Temple safely." "As for what comes next, we can talk about it once we leave this damn temple..." Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official exchanged glances, both slightly astonished. But since Master Xiao had spoken to this extent, neither of them had reason to refuse. Xia Canonical Official nodded, "Alright." She then slowly walked to the box, leaning down to fetch the Fish Bone Token. Gu Changhuai held the Green Bird Feather Fan, lightly activating his spiritual power, focusing intently on Master Xiao while subtly shielding Xia Canonical Official behind him. Just as Xia Canonical Official reached out her hand, touching the Fish Bone Token... Master Xiao’s gaze darkened, his form vanished, transforming into multiple water shadows, overlapping with sinister Yin Qi. "Watch out!" Gu Changhuai whispered urgently. Xia Canonical Official grasped the Fish Bone Token, unable to evade in an instant. Seeing this, Gu Changhuai immediately launched several Wind Blades, sweeping toward the surrounding water shadows. The Wind Blades shredded the water shadows. But within those shattered water shadows, Master Xiao’s form was absent. Gu Changhuai paused, then startled, shouting: "Mo Hua!" He looked around and suddenly found Mo Hua’s figure had already disappeared. When Xia Canonical Official reached for the Fish Bone Token, Mo Hua sensed something amiss and had already gone invisible, fleeing far away. He knew that Master Xiao, the old schemer, would certainly target him. On this journey, he could occasionally perceive within his divine soul, Master Xiao’s implicit, unrevealed killing intent toward him. This smiling tiger squinted, feigning amiability, thinking he was well concealed, but didn’t realize Mo Hua’s skill in the path of divine sense far surpassed ordinary cultivators. Invisible, Mo Hua retreated ten zhang away, only then did he let out a sigh of relief. But before he could fully exhale, a fierce killing intent suddenly descended. Mo Hua’s pupils shrank, immediately using Water Passing Step to dodge, catching a glimpse at the corner of his eye, he saw a deep blue spiritual power cage had formed where he was just standing. "Water Prison Technique!" The spell he often used to trap others was now finally being used against him. Moreover, eight chains had formed jointly on this water prison.
