Chapter 117 The Mysterious Tomb Chamber, Full of Suspicious Points
With a bang.
Before the ghosts could even get close to the corner, Chu Xingnan had Yun Shu get in the car and drove the sports car straight towards the main tomb chamber.
Yun Shu sat in the passenger seat and threw out a stack of exorcism talismans, forming a golden magic circle that protected the sports car.
As the sports car sped along, a powerful energy emanated from the exorcism talisman array, instantly blasting away the nearby ghosts that were meant to be buried with the spirits.
A series of wailing and howling sounds came from the air.
Bang bang bang!
In the distance, the ghost in the official robes saw the sports car speeding recklessly, damaging many of the nearby stone sculptures. He was furious and his ghostly aura intensified.
"Outrageous!" he roared. "Who dares to trespass into my underworld office? Believe me, I'll send you to the eighteenth level of hell!"
"You, a mere underworld official?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xingnan drove with one hand and swung the Yin Messenger Chain with the other, striking the official-robed ghost with a clang.
But he reacted quickly, his figure turning into a wisp of ghostly energy and disappearing on the spot, dodging Chu Xingnan's attack.
When he reappeared, he was in a corner outside the main tomb. His pale, ashen face and sinister eyes watched Chu Xingnan and Yun Shu get out of the sports car.
Seeing the Yin Messenger chains in Chu Xingnan's hand, he sneered, "Looks like we're in the same line of work."
"I don't have a colleague like you!"
Chu Xingnan first collected the souls of the brides outside the main tomb to prevent them from being harmed during the fight.
If a living soul is injured, it is difficult to recover and will have a serious impact on the living.
"It's normal that you don't recognize me."
The official in his robes stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly unafraid of Chu Xingnan's underworld chains. "You're just a newcomer, while I've been walking in this underworld for hundreds of years."
At this point, his eyes suddenly turned cold. "So I also advise you not to meddle in other people's business. You can't handle this matter."
The ghostly aura emanating from the official robe grew stronger and stronger, and the entire tomb was shrouded in a thick black mist, making it impossible to see his exact location.
A cacophony of wailing filled the air, and a chilling aura emanated from the ground, as if many vengeful spirits were emerging from underground.
"High-level Blue Demon."
Yun Shu and Chu Xingnan exchanged a glance.
Even before they arrived, they had guessed that this thing would be difficult to deal with, and they were right; it was a Qing-she ghost that had been cultivating for many years.
Most of the Qinggui are born from resentment, and their malevolence is even stronger than that of vengeful ghosts. They will also eat ghosts weaker than themselves in order to strengthen themselves and cultivate.
The official-robed ghost in front of us has been dead for hundreds of years and has devoured many ghosts. The resentment on his body is even stronger than that of Madam Sheng back then, and his ghost magic is also much more powerful.
The black mist completely enveloped the cemetery, making it difficult to see anything more than a meter away. From time to time, ghosts buried there would emerge from the mist to attack Yun Shu and Chu Xingnan.
Yun Shu held a peach wood sword in her hand and kept attacking the ghosts that crawled out to accompany her.
However, there were too many ghosts buried with them, and the surrounding black mist helped them hide. Yun Shu's exorcism talisman was also covered by the black mist and could not exert its strongest effect.
"Where did that guy hide? This fight isn't going to work."
Chu Xingnan said with a troubled expression.
As the black mist appeared, more and more burial ghosts attacked them, and they couldn't find where the official robe ghost was hiding.
Yun Shu arrived at the stone window of the main tomb chamber. There was no black mist in the main tomb chamber, only darkness. Yun Shu took out her flashlight and shone it inside.
"We've found him!"
Chu Xingnan came to Yun Shu's side and followed the light to see the scene inside. There was a large carved wooden bed inside, and the ghost in the official robe was sitting on the edge of the bed.
Chu Xingnan was about to go in and deal with him when Yun Shu stopped her, saying, "He's been dead for so long, and he still has so many ghosts who helped him. You're no match for him. Besides, this is his territory; it would be easy for him to escape."
"So, what's your best idea?"
Chu Xingnan calmed down for a moment, "If all else fails, I can call for reinforcements. Our underworld officials will provide support very quickly."
"No need for that. It's just a Green Demon, we can handle it. Besides, this is its lair. If we get our hands on its remains, we can easily make its soul disappear."
Yun Shu said while observing the main tomb chamber.
Once she could see the situation inside the main tomb chamber, she realized that the ghost in the official robes had discovered her, so she turned off her flashlight.
The official-robed ghost glanced at the window where they were, a disdainful smile playing on his lips, before looking away.
What could a living person and a ghost who had been dead for less than ten years possibly do to him? He didn't even need to lift a finger. He had already set up a black mist maze to distract them, and with the tomb guardian beasts and burial ghosts in the tomb, that would be enough to deal with them.
After Yun Shu turned off the flashlight, she led Chu Xingnan a little further away. She was about to tell Chu Xingnan about her discovery when a cold wind suddenly came from under her feet. A pale hand emerged from the ground, painted with bright red nail polish, and with long, sharp nails.
Her fingernails were about to pierce Yun Shu's skin.
With a loud clang.
Chu Xingnan acted instantly, wrapping the chain around the wrist of the hand, and then pulling it out from the ground with force.
Yun Shu quickly stuck an exorcism talisman on her head, and the ghost froze in place.
"Hey, her clothes are different from everyone else's, much more gorgeous and exquisite, and her hairstyle is also quite beautiful."
Chu Xingnan asked in surprise.
Yun Shu narrowed her eyes, examining the burial ghosts before her. "Most of the burial ghosts here wear simple, uniform clothes; those must be maids."
This one, dressed in finery and with a beautiful appearance, was clearly a concubine buried with the deceased. There was more than one of these concubines buried with the deceased; I encountered others just now, all of them emerging from the ground.
"Since he already had wives and concubines to be buried with him, why did he still need to marry? And nine of them at that!"
Chu Xingnan said angrily, "Was that ghost lustful in life? Was it not enough that he had so many wives, concubines and maids to be buried with him after death? Did he have to bring in new ones?"
"If he's so lecherous, why didn't he check the brides' appearances first when they were brought to him? He didn't even look at what the brides looked like before planning the wedding. Wasn't he afraid of marrying an ugly woman?"
Yun Shu pondered for a moment and said, "So I think it's not lust, but something else entirely. That's why he doesn't care about the bride's appearance. Did you notice just now that there are two coffins in the main burial chamber?"
Although the ghost was wearing an official robe, its shoes were straw sandals, and the sandals even had a hole in them, revealing its toes.
Chu Xingnan looked confused. "Why didn't I see two coffins? I only saw one coffin in the very center of the main burial chamber. Where is the other coffin?" As for what kind of shoes the ghost was wearing, she hadn't paid attention.
