Baili An's icy gaze returned to Old Taoist Huang, as if the cold steel of a blade was encased within icy blood, chilling to behold.
"Immortal Huang performed a sacrifice for the River God; I wonder if he has seen the River God?"
At this point, how could Old Taoist Huang continue to bluff and resist? He frantically shook his head and said, "It's all just my pretentious act to deceive people out of their money; there's no such thing! There's no River God, it's just me fooling everyone. There's nothing divine in that river, only some harmful wandering spirits; I've indeed seen them myself. So everyone, please, don't wash clothes or fetch water in this part of the river anymore!"
This Taoist was cunning, knowing he couldn't continue his deception, he feigned good intentions by warning everyone of the river's dangers, hoping to gain some favor while admitting his wrongdoing.
Unfortunately, Baili An wasn't buying any of it.
