The two girls' faces became paler and paler, almost to the point of being colorless.

Kong Yanqing glanced at them lightly, but didn't say anything more.

He knew he was taking his anger out on others, but what could he do?

If it weren't for the man surnamed Bai who was the mastermind behind the incident, Xia Yiqian wouldn't have been pushed into this dangerous situation.

If these two guys hadn't been stupid enough to let those people trick them into coming in, they wouldn't all be here now.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, so Zhao Xun hurried over to smooth things over.

When he saw that Xia Yiqian was safe and sound, he felt relieved.

"Xia Yiqian, what happened to you just now? Where is the other side of the space crack? Can we get out from there?"

Li Songtian was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he was about to say a few words to laugh it off and take over the matter, but he saw Xia Yiqian tilt his head and replied in a very serious manner: "You will probably die if you go out."

Not only because that was the world of the dead, but also because she had provoked the King of Hell.

That guy is most likely waiting in the underworld. If she can escape, the others will probably stay there.

Li Songtian: ...

Okay, it’s okay for you to keep explaining it this way, as long as other people don’t think about leaving here through that space crack.

Ordinary people are not as tough as them. It is difficult to get out of the underworld after passing through it.

When everyone heard Xia Yiqian say this, they felt more or less disappointed.

If someone else said this, they probably wouldn't believe it, but Xia Yiqian was very powerful and could open the Ghost Gate. Even she said so, which showed that the other side of the space crack must be very dangerous.

When they saw Xia Yiqian and Li Songtian return safely, they thought they could find another way out.

But now we are back to square one.

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Bai Lingyu had to speak up to break the silence: "According to our previous speculation, the number of people sacrificed here should be fifty.

But there are fifty-two of us here now, how should we deal with this matter?

Can we not start the human sacrifice? Or will it cause other consequences?"

For example, only two people out of so many can survive.

No one knows much about this place, so naturally no one can give an answer.

Xia Yiqian frowned and suggested, "How about we go to the fifth floor and ask?

After all, he is a god, so he should know, right? "

Now it is almost the end of the night. Either we go to the underworld together, or we have to confront the gods.

With the former choice, she would probably be the only one who could reach the world of the living alive. With the latter possibility, how many people could survive was purely a matter of luck.

"You can't go to the top floor."

Just when everyone felt that there was a choice between an inevitable death and a possible life or death, and that they could choose the latter and try to talk to the god before the sacrifice, hoping that the god might let them go, an old voice suddenly came from behind them.

Everyone turned their heads suddenly and saw an old lady in a half-new gown standing on the stairs leading to the second floor, looking at them with concern.

Everyone was already frightened by the ghosts in Wanfu Inn, who appeared and disappeared without a trace. At this moment, they were just curious about why this person said that.

Xia Yiqian blinked.

Others don’t know this old lady, but she does.

It was the old lady who had given her buns on the third floor, and fed buns to the bloody Chinese knot the next morning, and who disappeared without a trace when everyone was looking for her.

Taoist Xuanyi's desire to exorcise demons and defend the Dao, which was to drive away ghosts as soon as he saw them, had almost worn out by this time.

He frowned in confusion and asked, "Why can't I go?

If we don't find a way to leave here before tonight, we might really die here.

Rather than dying here, we still want to take a gamble."

Having said that, he paused.

"Or do you have another way to leave here?"

When Xia Yiqian heard him say this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at him, with a strange look in her eyes.

The look in her eyes clearly read, "Didn't you see that the ghost who gave us directions nearly killed us before? How dare you ask the old lady now?"

Taoist Xuanyi naturally felt Xia Yiqian's gaze, but did not explain.

They have now reached this point, and they should try any option. Otherwise, are they really going to wait here to die?

He didn't think that if he went to a god and told him not to use him as a sacrifice, the god would really let them go.

The old lady lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time. When she raised her eyes again, her face was full of tears.

But in the end he spoke in his old voice.

"I don't know how to leave here, but I do know that once I step onto the fifth floor, I will die."

When everyone heard her words, they all frowned and even felt a chill down their spines.

Is there really no other way out for them?

Xia Yiqian asked calmly, "Have you seen anyone go up there?"

The old lady nodded, and her eyes looking out the window were full of vicissitudes and heartache.

She said in a hoarse voice: "I have seen her, and you have all seen her."
