Magistrate Li lunged forward, as if grasping at the last straw. "What's the plan?"
The Dark Venerable Envoy waved her hand, and the shadows swirling around it vanished. "We kill them. We kill Shen Bai and Qin Shuang preemptively."
"They will inevitably come for you. By now, the vegetable patch has absorbed the resentful Qi from the five dead Venerable Envoys. The anomaly is powerful enough."
"We need a place to deal with Shen Bai, and you can serve as the bait."
At this, the Dark Venerable Envoy produced a sheet of paper and placed it on the table.
"Write a letter. Tell him you'll be waiting in Hedong Village. Once he's there, everything will be made clear."
"I know you're worried Shen Bai will tell the Shengyun County constables. It doesn't matter. If it comes to that, we'll just kill them all."
