"Rise in rank and grow rich! " Suddenly a shout rang out. Shen Mu looked toward the sound and saw several turbaned men taking down coffins, chanting phrases like "rise in rank and grow rich" as they worked the divine powers of the Western Lands.

The coffin lid opened a crack, and a woman sprang stiffly upright out of it. Her neck turned rigidly and she looked at Shen Mu: "Could this be the Nether Demon Sect Master, come from the Central Lands?
