Lin Qihe nodded slightly, then pointed to a row of corpses on the deck and said, "Very well, these are the corpses of those people, do you want to take a look?"
"What about the Divine Souls?" Yang Zhenshan wasn't concerned about the corpses; instead, he cared about the Divine Souls separated from those bodies.
"Here they are!" Lin Qihe took out a soul stone, "All the Divine Souls are in here."
Yang Zhenshan received the soul stone and used his Spiritual Sense to check, discovering that it housed thirteen Divine Souls.
"Let's go!"
The Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat set off, slicing through the clouds as it continued its journey westward.
Meanwhile, as they made their return, at the Jade Tower in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, the Heavenly Mechanism Master sent out a Communication Talisman with a grave expression.
A moment later, True Monarch Huagai arrived at the Jade Tower, "Greetings, Master!"
"Hmm! Yuan Chen is dead!" the Heavenly Mechanism Master stated solemnly.
