"Oh, esteemed Daoist masters, I wonder what guidance you have for me?"
Sage Newton smiled and immediately bowed.
"We certainly dare not presume. There is simply a matter we wish to discuss with you, Madam."
"May I ask what it is, Daoist master?"
Poison Dreadstar feigned ignorance, then Sage Newton glanced at the other eight elders, who all nodded in agreement.
"May I ask, Madam, did you recently acquire the soul of a man named Victor Wu?"
"No, I have no idea about that."
Poison Dreadstar spoke up immediately. At this, the faces of the Nine Dao Gate Elders darkened, except for one, Samuel Young, while Poison Dreadstar kept smiling, clearly unwilling to give in.
"But Madam, we heard that the Ferryman of the Yellow Springs negotiated with the Underworld, and the subject of that negotiation was Victor Wu's soul. Are you certain this is not the case?"
Changing the topic, Sage Newton quickly redirected the conversation toward Rachel Lan and her group.
