The entire skeleton floated in midair. Zhou Xuan's right hand emitted a pulsating blue glow, alternately bright and dim, as the bones dissolved inch by inch.
"I'm doing this to cleanse the guilt of the Monument King. When you leave, keep your mouths shut. Don't blabber things you shouldn't."
The Blood Well devoured the Monument King's flesh, while Divine Revelation dissolved his bones. Zhou Xuan sternly warned the night watchmen to guard their tongues—that some words were better left unsaid upon leaving.
The night watchmen, one by one, became "more motivated."
They had no choice but to step up—the first time they met Zhou Xuan was at Qiye Temple, when the City God paper kite was silently shot down and set ablaze.
The tattoo soul within the paper kite kneeled before Zhou Xuan, bowing its head repeatedly.
The second encounter was today.
