"Who's the village chief? That middle-aged man from earlier? Why did he tell you to spy on us?" Gui Ying's brows furrowed. His intuition told him things weren't nearly this simple. He stomped his foot onto the man's chest and slowly raised his cane, looking ready to smash it down at the slightest provocation.
"I-I'm not too sure. He just told me to eavesdrop on your conversation, because I'm naturally light on my feet and not easily discovered!" the man explained frantically. Seeing Gui Ying's cane poised to strike, he hastily raised his hands to block it and shouted, "I remember now! I heard the village chief talking to someone in his room. That person said... said there was someone with the Ninth Elder who looked just like the Nether King who betrayed Purgatory!"
