Before Shen Luo could steady himself, he heard a noise coming from above. Instantly, he urged the yellow silk handkerchief, shrinking his figure and slipping under the stone steps.
At the same time, he activated the Sea-Calming Pearl with a thought, covering all his Qi fluctuations, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

"Have you heard? This time, the Black Bone King went out and got absolutely nothing. He even had half his body bones broken by the Bull Demon King. Tsk, tsk, losing his wife and his troops, that's a real loss," one of the demons began, seemingly taking pleasure in others' misfortunes.
"You're really not afraid of death, daring to criticize the Black Bone King behind his back. Aren't you afraid he'll break your bones?" The other demon was much more cautious and admonished him.
