Cain Never Lies

Cain was using not his own body, but that of Jiang Xuan. His aim was to retrieve something he had once lost here.

"I trust you unconditionally, of course. Whatever you say, I'll do," he said.

Cain looked sincere, but Bai Wu shook his head and responded:

"Enough, there's no one else here. Who are you performing for, the ghosts on the sixth level?"

Bai Wu walked ahead. Jiang Xuan followed behind, silently making some calculations. He soon found, to his dismay, that Bai Wu seemed to have surpassed him in every sense.

Attempting to seize Bai Wu here as a vessel was exceedingly unrealistic and even a bit foolish.

The vast stone forest very much resembled those ancient relics often hyped up in a previous era, but Bai Wu was quite sure that these were definitely not relics from the past.

Like the pyramidal black stones of the fourth level, they were arranged in a somewhat chaotic pattern that seemed to lack any order.
