A chilling voice rang out, sending shivers down Ye Chen's spine.
He was deathly pale and could barely stand.
If Hua Mudan hadn't fainted, she would have been utterly disdainful upon seeing this.
That scoundrel!
However, Ye Chen was, after all, a man of destiny. Although he was frightened, he tried his best to control himself and said, "Sister, don't joke around."
"Even if my ancestor did something wrong to my sister, that was his own business and has nothing to do with me, Ye Chen."
"I, Ye Chen, am a ninth-generation demon sealer, possessing the will to seal demons. If you do not mind, sister, I am willing to serve you."
How could the dignified Lord of Demon Sealing serve a being whose nature is unknown, whether human or ghost?
Ye Chen had no intention of doing that.
He knew that he needed to keep her calm and composed.
Once things stabilize, he won't be killed by Li Taibai.
Not only will they not be killed, but they might even be able to use the people in front of them to kill Li Bai.
But as soon as the sound faded, the person inside the ancient coffin burst into laughter again.
"Heh heh heh... When did the Demon Sealing lineage become so useless? So cowardly!"
"However, considering that you are useful, I will allow you to live a few more days."
Ye Chen was terrified upon hearing this. Did this mean that she would kill him again in the future?
However, his face still showed a look of deep gratitude as he said, "Sister, it is my honor to serve you."
"By the way, may I ask how to address you, elder sister?"
The one inside the coffin laughed, "What, trying to trick me into telling you? I might as well tell you!"
"I am Liu Hongyi."
Liu Hongyi!
Ye Chen read the name aloud, indicating that he had never heard of it.
Behind him, some elders of the Misty Sect were surprised.
I seem to have heard of this name before.
Gu Jian frowned slightly, recalling the words of the deceased Sheep Demon King's advisor—
"The appearance of the ancient coffin heralds a catastrophe; a once-in-ten-thousand-year calamity that will annihilate all living beings."
"Red-clad spirit, two fiends on one side, eternal life on the other shore, fallen into reincarnation!"
Is she the one in red from the "Red-Clothed Spirit"?
The Dark Saint was extremely displeased with what Ye Chen had done.
This kind of behavior—joining the enemy when you can't beat them—is spineless.
They're such spineless cowards!
However, upon hearing this name, she frowned slightly. "Liu Hongyi, is that person?"
Gu Jian looked over again, "The Dark Saint Demon, you know about it?"
The Dark Saint Demon glanced at Gu Jian, his expression slightly complicated, and said, "Liu Hongyi, that was the wife of the former leader of the Cloud Soaring Holy Sect."
"Back then, it was she who personally sealed me within the Dark Holy Monument."
"I've heard that she was in charge of suppressing the Dawn Demon, the Heavenly Demon, the Chaos Demon, and the Nine-Lives Demon Fox back then."
Gu Jian was immediately surprised.
Is this even possible?
The Dawn Saint Demon, the Heavenly Saint Demon, the Chaos Saint Demon, and the Nine-Lives Demon Fox looked at the ancient coffin, seemingly recalling the events of that year, and their faces revealed hostility.
The being inside the ancient coffin laughed evilly.
"Little Darkness, so you still remember me. No wonder you're capable of gathering the blood of immortality. I really like you, hehehe~"
The eerie laughter rang out again.
Gu Jian frowned.
This guy sealed away the five great demons, and now he's reappeared in this way.
This is very strange.
Things are probably not that simple.
Gu Jian looked in the direction of the ancient coffin.
Besides an ancient bronze coffin, there were many other figures there.
But these figures had no life force; they were just a group of puppets.
Gu Jian's gaze returned to the bronze coffin, and he said coldly, "Since you were the wife of the former leader of the Cloud Soaring Sacred Sect, why are you in the ancient coffin?"
"Are you a human, a ghost, or a demon now?"
"Good question. Hehehe..."
Evil laughter emanated from the ancient coffin, a sound that was chilling and terrifying.
It gives you the feeling that a vengeful ghost might crawl out of the ancient coffin at any moment.
The energy claws hovering above the ancient coffin could fall at any moment, killing everyone here.
There are clearly many people here.
However, that ancient coffin, exuding an aura of death, seemed to have become the master of this place.
He held the power of life and death over everyone present.
Then, the eerie voice rang out again.
"Back then, I was the wife of the sect leader of the Cloud Soaring Sacred Sect."
"I can have whatever I want, whether it's wind or rain. She is the most powerful woman in this human realm."
"My cultivation is unparalleled!"
"My husband is the Holy Master of the Cloud Soaring Holy Sect!"
"He doted on me immensely and fulfilled all my requests. Even though I kept hundreds or thousands of male concubines, he didn't care. He even cultivated with us."
Upon hearing this voice, the demons' eyes widened.
Gu Jian couldn't help but mutter "Holy crap" to himself.
The tragic leader of the Cloud Soaring Holy Sect is cuckolded more than a mountain.
This person named Liu Hongyi, is she playing such a fancy trick?
The Heavenly Saint Demon was completely bewildered.
Why would you point at the person in the ancient coffin?
After all, he was known as Tongtian.
"Then what?"
Gu Jian asked again.
An evil voice once again emanated from the ancient bronze coffin.
"Hehehe".
"But what use is all this, so easily obtained, to me?"
"Even if I cultivate to become a saint, my lifespan will only be a mere few thousand years."
"That is what I truly desire, not temporary power, but eternal life. Perpetual and ultimate freedom is the path I pursue."
"Therefore, my husband specially asked people from the sect to help me find the secret to immortality."
