As the hearse stopped, I ignored the pain in my body and quickly lit the red soul-guiding candle.

As the soul-guiding candle was lit, a winding road appeared ahead.

The spirits who were about to get off the vehicle to capture me showed expressions of terror when they saw the soul-guiding candle in my hand.

As the hearse slowly moved forward, I was the only person on the entire road to the underworld.

As I was walking forward, a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind me.

"Hey kid, what are you doing down here? Are you dead too?"

It was Liu Sandao's voice.

My heart skipped a beat, and I instinctively stopped in my tracks. Just as I was about to turn around, Yuan Ying's words of advice suddenly came to mind.

"You need to follow the guidance of the soul-guiding candle to walk forward, and then you will see Liu Sandao's soul."

"At this moment, whatever you see or hear, ignore it!"

I took a deep breath, suppressed my inner impulse, turned my head back, and continued walking in the direction indicated by the soul-guiding candle.

However, after taking only a few steps, a cold hand suddenly landed on my shoulder.

The chill instantly penetrated the clothing and reached the bone marrow.

"Old Chen, it's me. Where are you going?"

Su Mingyang's voice rang in my ears, and his cold breath sprayed on my neck, making me shiver involuntarily.

“I know you’re looking for Liu Sandao. I can take you there, as long as you come with me.”

Su Mingyang continued to tempt me, his voice carrying a hint of seduction.

I gritted my teeth, forcefully shook off the hand on my shoulder, and quickened my pace without saying a word.

But I hadn't gone far when another voice rang out in front of me.

"Xiaoyan, don't go any further! That woman is lying to you! Once you get down, you'll never be able to go back!"

I looked up and saw my grandfather standing in front of me, looking at me with loving eyes.

"Why did you come to this dangerous place? Come back with Grandpa quickly, or it will be too late! Hurry!"

grandfather?

I shook my head violently, trying not to look or think about it.

I kept reminding myself.

This is just an illusion on the road to the underworld, meant to disturb me.

I gripped the soul-guiding candle tightly, walked around my grandfather, and continued on my way.

"You little rascal, why don't you listen to me! I told you not to come here, you've been tricked!"

Just as I was about to walk around my grandfather, he suddenly reached out and grabbed my hand holding the soul-guiding candle, and blew hard at the candle.

The soul-guiding candle was blown out.
