The funeral hall was engulfed in layers of fire, with thick smoke billowing.
A house beam blocked the main door, obstructing the path, while three tigers fumbled through the smoke, attempting to escape the sea of fire from other directions.
Outside the funeral hall was the angry roar of Prince Fu, the shouts of the Qi Family, and the increasingly synchronized and loud chanting of the monks from Yuanjue Temple: "The beings of Jambudvipa, their nature is fierce, difficult to tame and subdue. Every thought and action is nothing but sin..."
Amidst the chanting, one tiger staggered as he encountered the Junior Minister of Taichang Temple crying for help. In a moment, he snapped the other's neck and threw him aside like a sack.
Passing by the coffin of Mr. Qi, already almost burnt to scorched wood, with Mr. Qi inside now a piece of black charcoal.
Next to the coffin lay the half-body of a colleague, the gunpowder had exploded within the chest cavity, leaving him dead beyond doubt.
