"Summoning Souls?" Everyone was startled, it was so sudden.
The dark-skinned man, quite at ease, brought his hands together in a prayer position and gave Yang Xiao and the others a bow from afar, "The Patriarch said, as long as you gentlemen can bring back the soul of our Great-Uncle, you will be honored guests of Du Family Village. Stay as long as you wish, our village is your home."
This statement was rather intriguing, and the implied meaning was quite clear: for now, Du Family Village was sheltering them, they were essentially living under someone else's roof. If they refused to help, being driven out of the village wasn't out of the question.
Whether it was to continue the mission or simply to survive, they had no choice but to agree, to promise to summon the soul by the river outside the village entrance at night.
