A lean and gaunt man jumped out, put his palms together, and chanted an awkward "Amitabha," then turned back to face Hu Yihui. "I have long heard of the great reputation of Venerable Zeling, and to see you today is truly my greatest fortune. Forgive my audacity, but I come to pay this uninvited visit because the masters of various sects have been disappearing one after another for unknown reasons and cannot be found anywhere. Just a few days ago, the Soul Search Incantation strongly indicated that our masters are hidden right here. Therefore, I beg Venerable Zeling to be magnanimous and lend us a hand, guiding us around for a look, if you would be so kind."
This man was named Wuchi, the head of the Four Great Vajras of the Subduing Demons Hall in the Dachan Religion. Before joining the sect, he had been a genuine Buddhist monk. After over three hundred years of secluded cultivation, his Taoist practice had reached the Divine Separation Stage.
For centuries, he had scarcely stepped half a step outside his sect, which was why he spoke in such a stilted, archaic manner.
