"What the hell are you babbling about?!" Shao Qing burst out angrily, shattering the cave's tranquility.

He stood up, about to jump down, but was pulled back by Deng Chen.

"Calm down!" he urged Shao Qing, "If something really happened to Lord Yuan... it's going to need your handling! You can't afford to lose your composure now!"

Xu Guangzeng also tried to persuade Shao Qing, "Impatience can spoil great plans, let's just get the people up here first."

"Exactly, exactly!" those Government Officials, Inspection Division representatives, and Guard Station men who had come to help with the rescue all chimed in, "No one wished for this to happen. Let's retrieve the body for a proper burial as quickly as possible!"

Someone else suggested, "Should we quickly get a Taoist or Monk here, while the soul hasn't gone far, to perform rites for the afterlife?"

It's the unjustly dead who need such rites, fearing their souls won't rest, troubling the Mortal World.
