Chapter 1047 The Real Purpose
"It really was you."
Even though she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, Ye Wanxi recognized the person in front of her just from their figure.
Feng Tianyu narrowed his eyes and immediately recognized who this person was.
Although I had expected it, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful that I hadn't gone too far last time, allowing this person to recover in just a few months and come out to stir up trouble again.
Sure enough, you should kill cockroaches as soon as you find them, instead of being soft-hearted and watching them grow into a swarm!
Seeing that the two had discovered him, Wu stopped hiding and walked out of the shadows. He greeted them as if he were meeting an old friend: "We meet again."
"..." We don't want to see you at all.
Ye Wanxi took a deep breath and went straight to the point: "Why did you choose this time and place to open the Ghost Gate? What exactly is your purpose?"
Wu met Ye Wanxi's gaze and said matter-of-factly, "There's no reason why. Why wouldn't I do something that benefits me?"
Ye Wanxi remained silent for a long time before asking again, "Are the various events that have occurred since the spiritual energy revival related to you?"
“No.” His dark eyes calmly gazed at Ye Wanxi. “If I had that ability, I wouldn’t have waited until now.”
As times change, the revival of spiritual energy is inevitable. It is humanity, not others, that has accelerated this revival.
All he did was use this opportunity to achieve his own goals.
Ye Wanxi was well aware of this. If Wu really had this ability, then he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to dig pits everywhere and use them to harm the innocent in order to collect resentment.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Whatever his purpose may be, they must stop him today!
As if seeing through Ye Wanxi's thoughts, Wu's lips curled into a stiff smile: "It's too late." As he spoke, he slowly looked up at the sky.
Ye Wanxi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up following his gaze.
A vortex suddenly appeared in the originally dark sky, mysterious, cold, and filled with a strong sense of foreboding.
“There!”
Before the two could react, a familiar voice came from beside them.
The next second, the barrier shook and collapsed on the spot with a sound of shattering glass.
The scene before them changed again, returning them to the same sea area.
Jun Wuduan and Qi Yingxuan stood not far away, anxiously chasing after them.
"Are you two okay?"
The two arrived a step too late, watching helplessly as the two disappeared before their eyes. Just as they were anxiously wondering where to look for them, they spotted the crack that Feng Tianyu had created with his spear.
Using this as a medium, Qi Yingxuan stacked over a hundred magic arrays outside the barrier before finally breaking it open.
Ye Wanxi shook her head, said nothing, and stared solemnly at the sky above her head.
The Ghost Gate, which was originally no bigger than a hula hoop, has now grown to the size of a basketball court.
Countless souls who died with regret crowded at the edge of the gate to hell, sticking out their hideous heads and desperately trying to squeeze out of the gate.
"Holy crap!" Upon seeing this, Qi Yingxuan instinctively took two steps back, feeling goosebumps all over his body.
“Mirror image, I should have thought of that sooner.” A hint of annoyance flashed in Ye Wanxi’s eyes.
They thought the Gate of Hell was located on the sea surface, but in reality, the one on the sea surface was just a reflection of the Gate of Hell on the water.
The opponent used a trick, and then used a magic array to connect the yin energy in the mirror image, creating the illusion that the Ghost Gate had fallen onto the water. They also sent a black dragon to cause trouble.
All of this was just to buy time. Now that the gates of hell have been fully opened, the only way to close them is to... exterminate all these ghosts.
"Roar—roar—"
As the most agile soul squeezed out of the Ghost Gate, the souls inside seemed to receive some kind of signal, and like moths, they rushed out of the Ghost Gate in a dense, overwhelming manner, making the scalps of those watching below tingle.
After emerging from the Gate of Hell, these ghosts did not leave immediately. Instead, as if they had received some kind of reason, they quickly flew towards the floating river lanterns on the water.
Not long ago, the beautiful river lanterns were shrouded in mist and beauty. But after being invaded by spirits, they lost their original brilliance and turned into black and white ghost lanterns. The warm orange-yellow light inside the lanterns turned into a cold white-blue with a whoosh.
The yin energy emanating from these spirits, enhanced by the river lanterns, shimmered gently and gradually coalesced into a new vortex.
"What's going on?"
Qi Yingxuan looked at the scene and seemed to realize something. His expression changed drastically: "This is bad! There is a formation under that vortex. He wants to use the yin energy brought out by these souls to lure out what is inside the formation!"
"What?" Jun Wuduan and the others were taken aback. They looked again and found that the ghost lamps, which were attached to ghosts, were dimming little by little as the yin energy was drawn out.
This means that the souls introduced into the lamp will be reduced to ashes after being used as the wick of the ghost lamp and burned out.
Thousands of ghosts rushed out of the gates of hell, only to be instantly turned into nourishment and vanish into nothingness.
Those kids who were a step behind realized something was wrong when they saw this scene, and their initial scramble turned into hesitation.
However, once something starts, the consequences are beyond their control.
These little devils, seeing the tragic fate of their predecessors who led the charge, became discouraged and wanted to turn back.
Unexpectedly, before they could even move, a powerful suction force came from outside the Gate of Hell, forcibly pulling them out one by one.
Batch after batch of ghosts were sucked out from behind the Gate of Hell and became the wicks of the Ghost Lamp.
The whirlpool in the middle of the sea was also slowly growing larger. Ye Wanxi and the others exchanged glances. Some of them went to stop the ghosts from using the Netherworld Lamp, while others wanted to destroy the magic array under the whirlpool, interrupt the spellcasting, and prevent the things inside from being taken out.
Unfortunately, things have developed to this point, and it's no longer something that anyone can simply stop if they want to.
Wu remained silent throughout, standing on the sidelines watching intently, his eyes fixed on the churning vortex, filled with fervor and madness.
Following him was a black dragon, scarred but still not sinking into the water, as if it, like him, was waiting for something.
Finally, with the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of souls, the thing hidden beneath the underwater magic array slowly rose to the surface in front of everyone, revealing its true form.
"That is..."
Qi Yingxuan and the others narrowed their eyes and stopped what they were doing at the same time, their faces full of surprise.
That was... a coffin, a transparent coffin on all four sides so that you could clearly see what was inside. Inside lay a skeleton.
That's right, it's a skeleton, a complete skeleton without any flesh or blood!
