Yuan Ming quickly walked over to Li Xia's side and caught his head before it hit the ground. He intended to use the Soul Searching technique to uncover the identity of the Black River God.

However, before he could perform the technique, Li Xia's soul suddenly exploded, releasing a wisp of black smoke that swiftly disappeared into the earthen wall above Quicksand City.

Yuan Ming's face darkened slightly. He knew this was likely a trick set up by the person behind Li Xia, but there was nothing he could do. With a sigh, he picked up the orb and storage bag from Li Xia's corpse. The believers and onlookers around him raised Li Xia's head high.

"I am the emissary of the Dark Moon God. The false god's minion has been executed on the spot. The light of the Dark Moon God shines upon the earth; the good are protected, and the evil are punished. Remember this well."
