Terrible glimpse
The girl's smile vanished.
Her entire form began to transform
from a graceful enchantress to a terrifying spirit.
And in a flash
she devoured Lao Duan's soul.
His body collapsed beside the bed,
lifeless.
His eyes turned white,
his limbs twisted unnaturally,
and on his chest appeared a strange mark,
one that looked like the claw of a great vulture.

Meanwhile…
in the outer fields of the new Liuguang Sect,
two farmers were busy tending to the crops.
"I noticed worms in some of the lychees again today,"
one of them said with a frown.
"What should we do now? We'll have to ask Shuang Ji for a solution."
Just then
the sky darkened.
Black clouds rolled in, and strong winds began to howl.
The farmers shielded their eyes with their sleeves,
trying to stand firm against the gusts.
Suddenly,
from within the storm,
a man emerged.
His body was entirely cloaked in black garments,
and from him drifted a thick, inky smoke.
The farmers froze for a moment before panic took over
they turned and ran.
But just before they escaped,
one of them caught a glimpse of something…
His eyes widened.
"H-His hair... Look at his crown!"
