Chapter 72: Madness

Upon hearing this, Su Tingting was startled and quickly spat out the grave soil, "Not there? How... how could it not be there? Could it be that Master Bai and his people killed someone elsewhere?"

"Or they have been carrying the body the whole way. The child's body isn't big; it could easily be placed in any box," Su Tingting began to think hard.

Looking into the distance toward the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda, Yang Xiao's face also darkened. Now, only the tip of the pagoda was visible. "It doesn't make sense. This is the best place to bury a body. They would not travel a long distance with a corpse; the risk is too high. Besides, burying the body here would also mean the pagoda could suppress it, trapping the child's resentful spirit and preventing it from leaving. This would also eliminate the likelihood of revenge being sought."
