For the next half hour, Shen Liushuang recounted the full course of events that had taken place inside the painting realm.

Her narration was smooth and thorough, and at the end, she offered a polite smile to Yu Zhihua. "Thank you, Miss Yu. If it weren’t for your help, we wouldn’t have uncovered Jin Niang’s identity as an evil practitioner."

Later that night, when the Exorcism Bureau arrived at the inn, they found Jin Niang’s room completely emptied, both the person and all of her belongings had vanished without a trace.

Yu Zhihua weakly shook her head. "It is I who should be thanking all of you. My family and I were caught in this disaster, and then Wei Xiao... with his injuries... No one is more desperate than I am to find the true culprit."
