Chapter 72: A Ghost Child Arrived

Lu Zheng halted in his steps, a chill running through his heart.

Looking up, he saw standing before him an elderly Daoist, dressed simply, appearing over fifty, with gray hair and a meticulously groomed beard.

The Daoist's face was somber, but his eyes were striking—large whites with small pupils, giving a deep, eerie impression, as he stared fixedly at Lu Zheng, making him uneasy.

"What does the Daoist master mean by this?" Lu Zheng's eyes flickered as he softly tested the waters.

Could this man see the in-depth exchange between him and Shen Ying?

But that was days ago; even with his own senses, he couldn't detect Shen Ying's aura on him anymore.

Could this old Daoist be someone skilled?

Lu Zheng felt tense inside, wondering if this man, from his looks alone, might be a stubborn exorcist dedicated to vanquishing demons.

If discovered, would Shen Ying be in danger?
