Xu Jianguo stood in the thick fog, his eyes as sharp as knives, staring at the huge black coffin on the altar not far away.
Gray mist was seen continuously emerging from the cracks in the coffin, wrapping the entire altar in extremely dense mist.
If Xu Jianguo was not blessed with the all-seeing eye, ordinary people would not be able to see through the scene in the thick fog with their eyes alone.
At the same time, with the appearance of the altar and the black coffin, Xu Jianguo also felt a very cold and evil aura from them. If it were not for the tattoo of the great god Zhong Kui on his chest, he believed that with only his half-baked ability as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he would have to pay a heavy price to escape unscathed today, not to mention Zhang Daochen and the old Taoist priest who were all mortals.
As Xu Jianguo came to stand in front of the altar, the light emanating from the tattoo on his chest became stronger, the eyes of the great god Zhong Kui became more scarlet and bloodthirsty, and the green light on the seal of the underworld became more captivating. He could even feel the tremendous anger from the eyes of the great god Zhong Kui in the tattoo.
Just as Xu Jianguo was about to step forward into the thick fog and onto the altar, the perspective of the little Taoist boy in his mind suddenly changed. He saw that Zhang Daochen and others had finished their discussion and continued to move forward.
Since the distance between the two sides was only a hundred meters, it wouldn't take long for them to get through the thick fog.
Xu Jianguo knew that he had little time left, so he no longer hesitated and walked directly into the thick fog. After only two steps, he completely disappeared.
However, just after Xu Jianguo walked into the thick fog and was about to step onto the stone steps of the altar, he suddenly felt the fog in front of him begin to roll violently. It felt like throwing a stone into a calm lake, creating a visual effect of rippling green waves.
What surprised him even more was yet to come. As the ripples in the mist became denser and denser, two figures, one black and one white, suddenly emerged from them, scaring Xu Jianguo.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Xu Jianguo started to practice Taiyi Youlong Zhencan the moment the two figures appeared, and quickly retreated out of the thick fog.
When he stood firm and used his all-seeing eyes to look into the thick fog again, his eyes suddenly widened, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he quickly rushed into the fog again.
It turned out that the people who came were none other than the Black and White Impermanence, the two whom he had accidentally saved when he and the old Taoist priest were taking the lightning-struck wood from the Impermanence Temple in Death Valley.
With the appearance of the two soul-catchers, and the strangeness caused by the tattoo on his chest, Xu Jianguo's speculation that this space had a certain connection with the underworld was once again confirmed.
As soon as Xu Jianguo rushed into the fog, the Black and White Impermanence floated towards him at an extremely fast speed and were in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"Boy, long time no see, I hope you are well!" Bai Wuchang spoke first, his voice still revealing that coldness, but with a hint of joy of meeting an old friend.
"Haha, Seventh Master, Eighth Master, long time no see! I didn't expect to meet you two here. I'm sure you two know something about the situation here, right?" Xu Jianguo hurriedly clasped his fists and asked.
Hei Wuchang said in a deep voice, "Boy, this place is extremely dangerous. The thing hidden in that coffin is no ordinary evil. It is trying to break through the restrictions and return to the world by using this method of absorbing yang to nourish yin and reversing yin and yang. If it succeeds, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos again."
"Old Eight is right. If the Underworld Mark we used our Yinde to create for you hadn't changed, we wouldn't have known that such an evil creature existed near the Western Gate of Hell!"
"Seventh Master, are you saying that it was this tattoo on my chest that informed you two?"
"Yes, do you know who the person in the tattoo is?" Bai Wuchang asked with a smile.
Xu Jianguo shuddered unconsciously at his shrill laughter and said speechlessly, "Seventh Master, you're just saying it, but could you please stop laughing? I feel terrified!" After saying that, he thought for a moment before tentatively asking, "I guess it's the great god Zhong Kui?"
"Wow, you're quite good, kid! You guessed right. The figure on the tattoo is indeed the great god Zhong Kui, and the large seal with the word 'Netherworld' engraved on it is the great god's other ghost-suppressing weapon besides the Ghost-Slaying Sword. It's called the Netherworld Ghost-Suppressing Seal."
"In order to thank you for giving us a new life, we spent a lot of good deeds and obtained the consent of the great god Zhong Kui. We finally got this tattoo. You kid don't take this tattoo seriously!" Hei Wuchang said in a muffled voice.
"No, no, the tattoo of the great god Zhong Kui has helped me solve a lot of problems. Don't worry, I will burn some good things for you to express my gratitude. You two can help pass on the great god's share to me later!" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Okay, we were right about you, you are sensible!" said Bai Wuchang.
After chatting for a while, Xu Jianguo's brow furrowed again. He looked at the black coffin on the altar behind the Black and White Impermanence and said, "Seventh Master, Eighth Master, according to you two, the creature in the coffin wants to break the boundary between life and death, resurrect as an immortal, and then disrupt the order of yin and yang?"
"That's right. When my two brothers felt the unusual movement of the tattoo, we immediately reported it to our superiors. This time, we were ordered by King Yama to come and investigate the imbalance of yin and yang. We followed the aura of the great god Zhong Kui on the tattoo all the way here. We finally found you before anything happened." Bai Wuchang explained.
Xu Jianguo nodded, and after thoroughly understanding the whole story, he continued to ask, "What do we need to do?"
"Hahaha, with the two of us here, you just need to watch from the side!" Bai Wuchang said with another chilling laugh.
Xu Jianguo shuddered again and then stepped aside.
What Xu Jianguo didn't know was that the sudden appearance of the Black and White Impermanence, as well as the ghostly laughs that Bai Wuchang unintentionally made, had caused great trouble to Zhang Daochen and his group who were walking towards them.
Although the fog here has become a little lighter, it is still impossible to determine the direction because there is no reference, and we can only follow the needle on the compass.
But just as they were moving forward, the arrival of the Black and White Impermanence made the compass with the Xiezhi's blood lose its function. The needle that was originally pointing straight ahead suddenly started to spin at a high speed, instantly making everyone lose their way and stop involuntarily.
But even more terrifying things were yet to come. Just as Zhang Daochen was about to bite his tongue and spray his blood on the compass to bless it, a heart-shaking laugh suddenly appeared in everyone's ears.
The people in Bureau 749, who were confused about the situation, and the soldiers behind them, suddenly felt like they were facing a great enemy and pointed their guns into the thick fog.
