Henry threw a glance at Ranjeet, then quietly got up and walked to one side.
Henry checked his surroundings, after confirming that they were alone. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Henry was speaking to the Heretic God.
The Heretic God said, "That fatty is special. He can feel the existence of spirits. There are a total of two spirits here, including me."
Upon hearing that there were two spirit bodies among them, Henry was shocked.
"I'm not referring to the one you had summoned back then," the Heretic God said. "Although I'm also very curious as to what you had summoned earlier, you call it a spirit, but it doesn't have any consciousness, so you can't awaken it at all. What that fatty could sense are spirit bodies that possess consciousness."
Henry frowned and said, "Do you mean that someone here is about to enter the stage of Spiritcontrol?"
"Yes." The Heretic God replied with certainty. "That spirit body possesses a consciousness, and is now very hungry. Moreover, there are many weakened spirit bodies where you currently are
now. Most of their consciousness has already slipped away, leaving only their energy behind. To a being like me, this place is a slaughterhouse."
The Heretic God did not say a lot because he believed that Henry could understand what he meant.
Indeed, Henry understood every word of the Heretic God.
If what the Heretic God had said was true, then it would be very likely that someone here who was going to have a grand feast now that all the inheritors were gathered there!
Henry walked back to Ranjeet and sat down beside him.
Ranjeet clung on to his kasaya and huddled towards Henry. "Brother, it's so weird. I felt two pairs of eyes staring at me just now. When you left, only one pair of eyes remained. Do you think it's possible that this place is haunted?"
"Can't your Mighty Heavenly Dragon do anything about it?" Henry raised his eyebrows.
"Brother, stop that. I am most afraid of stuff like these." Ranjeet was trembling.
Henry looked at a trembling Ranjeet, then scanned around the area. He wanted to find out who was responsible for organising a trap like this. His biggest suspect was Uncle Xu. After all, he was the one who was in charge of gathering everyone here, he was most suspicious.
Henry's found the kind-looking Uncle Xu amidst the crowd. Just as Henry got up and planned to check on Uncle Xu, he saw a young man striding towards him with a fierce expression.
"Who are you to Kenzy?" the young man asked questioningly, the moment he approached Henry.
"Maurits, what are you doing!" Kenzy ran over hurriedly and pulled at the young man.
"What am I doing? I'm trying to make things clear, of course!" Maurits flung Kenzy aside with a sweep of his arm. "Someone just told me that you looked at this guy with a very different gaze. Kenzy, you have to understand that you are my fiancee! As your fiance, shouldn't I be the one to ask what's going on?"
"Amitabha!" Ranjeet who was trembling in fear a second ago immediately displayed a calm expression and sat cross- legged, then greeted them with a Buddhist greeting the instant he noticed a younng lady appear. "My relationship with this lady benefactor is not information that could be made public."
