Qiao Mu and the others observed from a distance that a young woman was bound on a tray. She knelt there with an ashen expression, her eyes filled with repressed anguish.
The elderly woman wailed along with the crowd, calling out the young woman's name in sorrow. However, her hoarse cries fell on deaf ears, and no one paid her any attention.
Little Fatty's curiosity was piqued by the scene, and he eagerly stepped forward. "I'll go over and inquire about what's happening."
True to his reputation for gathering information, Little Fatty reemerged from the crowd in less than ten minutes, his face grave. He reported to Qiao Mu, Qi Xuanxuan, and the others, "You won't believe it. They are offering immortals to the river today, and they've prepared numerous offerings. They intend to cast everything into the Spring River when the auspicious moment arrives."
