Nyarlathotep then focused his attention on serious matters.
"Hmm, that's right, let's set aside other matters for now."
He nodded, tiptoed, patted Jiang Lu's shoulder, and then drifted towards Emperor Yin below:
"Follow me."
With that, he led Jiang Lu into the spiritual realm of Emperor Yin, which was also the battlefield where they struggled for control of the body.
Jiang Lu had thought he would see Nyarlathotep and Emperor Yin fighting in this spiritual realm, but instead, he saw only a clear river and a small boat on its shore.
"Get on."
Nyarlathotep said, then suddenly jumped aboard.
The boat rocked violently under his weight, he spread his arms to maintain his balance until the little boat stabilized again.
Jiang Lu followed suit and jumped aboard.
