Chapter 23 The Girl in the Coffin

Chapter 23 The Girl in the Coffin

The two phantoms rushed towards the cave entrance, and the four demonic beasts fought with them.

As the phantom fought, it moved further and further away from the cave entrance, luring away the four demonic beasts.

He arrived at the door, but there was a large lock on it.

This was no problem for him. He took out a wire from his spatial storage, turned it a few times, and opened the lock. He had learned this skill in recent years, and it worked quite well.

After he went inside, he closed the door.

The interior is decorated like an underground palace, and it's very bright. Compared to the cold and gloomy outside, it's obviously much warmer here.

Rows of red lanterns hung overhead, and strange and obscure totems were carved on the walls and stone pillars. Every ten steps there was a copper wall lamp, its red flames leaping incessantly.

The interior furnishings were extremely luxurious, with gold, silver and jewels, jade and pearls, and everything was glittering. Even the chairs were gilded, shining with a dazzling luster. You could take a handful and spend it for a lifetime.

Bao Shuoyu had no interest in any of this. He stared at the compass and continued walking inside. There was another door, but it was sealed by a lion-faced totem.

This can't be opened by twisting a wire.

Bao Shuoyu stretched out his hand, and his palm immediately shone with red light, forming an imprint that enveloped the lion-faced totem.

However, the totem did not react.

So Bao Shuyu tried again, but there was still no response.

He tried more than ten times, and finally the totem seemed to be electrified, emitting a faint blue light. Suddenly, with a click, the door opened automatically.

Bao Shuoyu went inside. The room was not as bright as the hall outside, but emitted a faint blue light, and there was a misty fog in the air, making it unusually damp and cold.

He couldn't help but shiver because it was too dark inside, so he turned on his flashlight.

As the lights shone around him, Bao Shuoyu couldn't help but squint his narrow eyes, and his gaze became serious.

Six people were hanging on the surrounding walls.

All six people were dressed in tattered clothes, covered in wounds, and had their faces down, making it impossible to tell whether they were dead or alive.

However, Bao Shuoyu was no ordinary person. He could sense their faint auras, and their seven souls and six spirits were all incomplete, with only one soul and one spirit remaining.

He thought of the six people those ghosts had captured today, which also happened to be six people. Perhaps they were used to prolong their lives, or perhaps to replace those six people hanging here. In any case, he didn't know what their purpose was.

Bao Shuoyu scanned the secret room again with his flashlight and found that at the end of the room was a crystal cabinet, and the compass was pointing to that spot.

It is highly likely that what's inside is the core of the Yin Sha Grand Array.

The closer he got to the crystal coffin, the colder he felt. Even he, the Demon Lord, felt his pores stand on end.

Upon reaching the crystal coffin, one could see a woman in white lying inside. Due to the chilling atmosphere surrounding her, her face was obscured.

She was surrounded by beautiful flowers of all colors, which looked very beautiful, but also inexplicably eerie.

Bao Shuoyu carefully opened the coffin lid, and an even stronger and deeper chill swept over him, while a pale and cold hand suddenly grabbed his neck.

A girl's laughter echoed in the narrow space, "Giggle, you're here—"

When Bao Shuyu saw the girl's face clearly, his lips trembled violently, but he couldn't make a sound.

——————

On a large earthen slope surrounded by evil spirits.

Yu Jiangbai and the others were huddled on the fire like lambs, their clothes almost catching fire in the flames. They glanced at Yu Xiaoluo, who was still standing there, sighed, and resignedly closed their eyes.

It seems that no one will be able to leave this Savage Valley today.

I never expected that everyone would end up here, with no one escaping. I hope Lao Hei and the others can get out safely.

They were praying silently, but Yu Jiangbai was filled with even more regret.

His second brother had repeatedly told him to turn back the way he came, but he didn't listen. One wrong decision cost so many lives and even affected his newly adopted younger sister.

Yu Jiangbai closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face, his heart filled with unbearable regret.

Sister, I'm so sorry.

I also have two younger brothers, three younger brothers, my mother, and my father. I hope we can be family again in the next life.

Yu Jiangbai felt utterly miserable and resigned to his fate.

He opened his eyes, but Yu Xiaoluo showed no negative emotions whatsoever. She remained calm and composed, standing there with a smile.

My younger sister seems to be a bit slow on the uptake.

He closed his eyes again, feeling his skin getting hotter and hotter, and then suddenly something cold hit him, causing him to open his eyes wide.

Suddenly, Yu Xiaoluo had a high-pressure water gun in her hand. She held the water gun and sprayed water at the fire without restraint, seemingly quite happy about it.

She actually put out the fire! She put it out!

It's not like the Nine Netherworld Fire; this kind of ordinary fire is nothing to worry about.

"Excuse me, hermaphrodite uncle, your barbecue doesn't seem to be going very well."

Yu Xiaolu blinked her clear, innocent eyes, looking at Ming Jiuyou with a harmless expression.

The words "hermaphrodite uncle" almost made Ming Jiuyou go berserk again. In front of so many people, and with so many ghosts dead, his lifelong reputation was completely ruined!

Perhaps out of sheer rage, he actually laughed.

Yu Jiangbai and the others were also puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask.

"Very well, now I'm even less willing to kill you, little girl."

Ming Jiuyou's tone became even more sinister, "Since they are your brothers, then I will let you watch how they die one by one in agony. Once they are completely lifeless, I will make you experience the same pain as them. No, a hundred times, a thousand times, even ten thousand times more pain than them, but I will not let you die, and I will make you live in the torment of pain forever."

Ming Jiuyou spoke slowly, as if only in this way could he better express his resentment towards Yu Xiaoluo.

"Hmm, which one should we choose first?"

Ming Jiuyou hesitated among the six people for a while before choosing Yu Jiangbai.

"This is your older brother, right? Since you have a family connection, he's the one."

He took out a knife and was about to stab Yu Jiangbai in the stomach.

Enraged, Yu Xiaoluo charged towards Ming Jiuyou like an arrow, her Xuan Tian whip tightly binding his body before she pulled hard.

Ming Jiuyou was actually pulled over and slammed to the ground. This girl actually has such great strength!

Taking advantage of the opening, the Seven Star Sword flashed, and the ropes binding the six people snapped. They tried to rush out, but they were surrounded by evil spirits. They were just ordinary people, how could they possibly escape?

If Yu Xiaoluo's space could hide people, that would be great. But it can't hide people. At most, it can hide small animals, and they can't be too big.
