The man in the black cloak looked at Cheng Wei who fell to the ground without a sound, sneered, and waved his hand.
Cheng Wei's body on the ground gradually dissipated into the air along with the black smoke.
"Sorry, Master Cheng, I made you know too much!"
He used the same method to deal with the body of the black guard next to him, and then the man in the black cloak breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's really worrying at this late hour."
He walked into the basement, looked at the woman in the crystal coffin, and said affectionately: "Princess, what I promised you will be accomplished soon. Please wait patiently for me..."
The woman's face in the coffin, withered and bark-less, exuded a strange luster.
Under the light, her hands folded on her chest seemed to rise and fall slightly.
Looking more closely, there was nothing.
…
In the dense forest outside the Shadow Gate Underground Palace, several black-clad guards were huddled together, plotting something.
"Brother Lin, Senior Cheng hasn't given the signal yet. Should we just go in?"
"It's the perfect time for them to let down their guard. I wonder if something has happened to Master. Let's not wait any longer and rush in." A gentle man said.
The few people were Xu Yi, Lin Hong and their group.
They received news from Cheng Wei and were preparing to break into the Shadow Gate.
"Sister Taoist priest, I want to go too!" Xiao Jin looked ahead, feeling faintly excited.
Da Zhuang flapped his wings beside him, eager to try.
Zheng Yibai was a little anxious. His leg had not fully recovered yet. Although he had taken various tonics recently, he had only thrown away his wheelchair for two days and walked with a limp.
It will take some time to get back to being as smooth as before.
He quickly raised his hand and said, "Boss, I want to go too."
Looking around, Xu Yi felt a little overwhelmed when he saw the team with wounded soldiers and poultry.
Xu Yi thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Well, Yibai, you and Xiaojin Dazhuang stay here, and Big Brother and I will go in and take a look.
You are very important here. If there is any special situation, please inform us in time. Our rear area is left to you!"
Xiao Jin and Da Zhuang were simple-minded. When they heard that it was so important, they immediately agreed happily.
Zheng Yibai's eyes were filled with resentment: "Boss, can't I go in? I want to go too."
Looking at Zheng Yibai's wrinkled face, Lin Hong turned his head to the side, covered his mouth and laughed, almost laughing out loud.
"Senior Brother, you are the boss, let me go too." Zheng Yibai looked at Xu Yi, glared at him, and immediately pulled Lin Hong's clothes.
Lin Hong got goosebumps all over his body and slapped Zheng Yibai's hand away in disgust.
Xu Yi patted Zheng Yibai's shoulder and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, check your things, and leave in two minutes.
The three of you will find a place to hide later. We will come out to find you when we go to investigate. Take this talisman and light it if you need help.
Then he said to Dazhuang and Xiaojin: "Yibai's injuries haven't fully healed yet. You have to take responsibility for protecting him, okay? Don't run around later, and rest well."
Da Zhuang puffed out his chest and nodded to show that he understood.
Xiao Jin looked at Zheng Yibai, then at Xu Yi, and nodded.
"Sister, I will take good care of Brother Yibai, don't worry."
Xu Yi touched Xiao Jin and Da Zhuang's heads, called Lin Hong, put on his mask, and headed towards the Shadow Gate base in front.
As soon as they left, Zheng Yibai took Xiao Jin and Da Zhuang and hid in a nearby tree.
Just as he sat down, Zheng Yibai suddenly felt like someone punched his heart, making him feel stuffy and uncomfortable.
His face was pale and sweat was dripping down his head.
He wanted to call Xu Yi and Lin Hong, but no sound came out.
Xiao Jin, who was standing next to him, was startled when he saw Zheng Yibai's appearance, and quickly asked: "Brother Yibai, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Are you okay?"
Zheng Yibai shook his head, "I'm fine."
He looked at the Shadow Clan's territory in front of him and felt a little panicked, "Master..."
Relying on magic, Xu Yi and Lin Hong successfully entered the interior of the Shadow Gate.
It was already early morning, and the only sounds in the entire Shadow Gate were the occasional patrolling footsteps.
The Shadow Gate looks like an inconspicuous hill from the outside, but it is a different world inside.
The roads inside the Shadow Gate are paved with bluestone tiles, and the walls beside the roads are equipped with lighting, making the whole place look very neat.
The Black Guards were also well-trained, patrolling in teams of two.
Fortunately, Xu Yi and Lin Hong followed suit and so far they have encountered two patrol teams without showing any clues.
The two of them came to a fork in the road and were in a dilemma. Xu Yi thought about it and made a gesture to Lin Hong.
"We'll each go one way and see what's going on here, while also looking for Master Cheng. No matter what the outcome, we'll meet here in an hour."
Lin Hong nodded solemnly and gestured in response:
"I feel very uncomfortable here, please be careful."
The two checked the time and headed in different directions.
Xu Yi chose the road on the right and moved quickly, following the thick iron chain above his head and walking inside.
Walking to the center of the hall, she looked at the chains scattered on the ground with curiosity.
"Is the coffin that Senior Cheng mentioned tied here?"
Looking at the runes covering the iron chain and then looking at the surrounding layout, the top of the mountain was covered with these runes.
Right in front of him was an altar with a shiny black fruit bowl filled with blood on it.
Looking at this strange scene, Xu Yi's heart skipped a beat:
"Resurrection Formation? Could it be that the Shadow Sect wants to bring the dead back to life? How dare they use such a forbidden formation!"
The Resurrection Formation is a lost formation that is said to be able to bring the dead back to life.
Although he is a time traveler, Xu Yi cannot agree with this kind of formation.
Not to mention whether he can be rescued, even if he can be rescued, will the rescued person still be the same person?
If one could be reborn so easily, then what was the point of the underworld and reincarnation?
Just as Xu Yi was daydreaming, footsteps were heard nearby.
Xu Yi quickly dodged to the side.
"Tell me, why did the master suddenly move the coffin away? Can the master really resurrect the princess?" said a rather burly man in black.
The other thinner man in black looked around carefully and was relieved when he saw that no one was around. "Big Fatty, you are just too curious. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. If the master finds out that you are teasing him, you will be in trouble."
Dapang also realized that he had said the wrong thing and slapped his mouth: "Brother Ye, I just said too much for a moment, thank you for reminding me."
Brother Ye asked, "By the way, where's your little brother Eleven? Why didn't I see him tonight?"
"Eleven? He should be going to bed." Big Fat said vaguely.
This National Day, really, I don’t know where it went. It’s busier than me day by day.
The two people talked and gradually walked away.
Xu Yi walked out from the darkness nearby after seeing the two people leave.
Looking at the empty chains, he asked, "Master transported the princess away? Eleven?"
