The Guhuo Ghost was enormous, almost reaching the ceiling in this not-so-tall secret chamber. To kill it, it had to be a fatal blow; otherwise, if it had a chance to breathe, whether it tried to escape or perish together, this secret chamber, which could only trap wandering souls, would eventually collapse. They would be fine, but the three juniors would probably be buried here.
As Geng Qi examined the construction of this secret chamber, he frowned more and more. A secret chamber had only one passage; what if that single passage were destroyed…
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the fragile, easily breached passage made entirely of soil.
Suddenly someone spoke up, and Gao Yao pointed to the stone doors opposite: "Could there be some kind of demon locked up inside as well?"
Yuan Xin's eyes lit up as she looked at the stone gate: "Let's go take a look!"
They're looking for someone. There's only so much space here; the person might be hiding behind the stone gate.
Geng Qi had the same question, so he didn't stop them. He followed behind, cracking melon seeds, and didn't forget to glance at the battlefield on the other side. Rong Yu's spirit array was complete, and the Gu Huo ghost seemed to have realized that it had been tricked. It was making a final struggle, and its attacks were getting fiercer and fiercer.
Seeing that he was suppressing the demons with ease using his sword sheath, but it was still no match for the lethality of the sword's edge, he asked, "Hey, why aren't you drawing your sword?"
After completing the final spiritual seal and completely trapping the Guhuo Ghost, Rong Yu stepped back and landed beside him, holding his unsheathed sword, and said calmly, "There's no need."
"..."
You're the main character, so you get to call the shots.
Just as he was about to turn around, Rong Yu said again, "We can't stay here any longer. You and the others go first..."
Before he could finish speaking, there were several more loud crashes. Apart from the first stone door that had been smashed open by the Guhuo Ghost, the other four stone doors slid upwards and opened spontaneously at the same time. Looking over, three people were standing under a pull ring, with Gao Yao's hand still holding onto the pull ring.
Geng Qi: "It seems you spoke a step too late."
"..."
"Grandmaster Uncle, there are people inside!"
With surprised voices, the three of them walked into a door at the same time.
Because the walls are curved, one can see all the situations inside the four doors from one position. It's not just the door they entered through; there are also people in the other three doors, all standing against the corners of the walls. Their faces are not clearly visible. Geng Qi squinted and saw one of the people's hands, which was hanging by his side, suddenly move. There seemed to be wisps of black energy around his body.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and he shouted urgently, "Get out of there!"
Seemingly awakened by his shout, the people inside the four stone doors simultaneously looked up, their faces pale and their eyes lifeless, yet with a very clear target in mind. They looked at the few people standing by the stone doors and suddenly rushed out. Fortunately, there was still some distance between them, and the three of them reacted quickly, taking a step back, only to be caught up by the group of people.
"Phoenix Kite!" Geng Qi uttered a low shout. Golden patterns appeared on his arm and instantly transformed into a long whip. With a flick of his wrist, the whip swept forward, grabbed the three people in front of the stone gate, pulled them back, and threw them toward the entrance of the secret passage.
Before the group could recover from his sudden outburst, he shouted without turning his head, "Get out of the secret passage now!"
“But…” Yuan Xin looked at Rong Yu again, and seeing that he nodded, she glanced at the stone doors again with reluctance, gritted her teeth and led the other two back into the secret passage.
After the footsteps faded into the distance, Geng Qi flicked the phoenix-tail bone whip in his hand and retracted it into his sleeve. Looking at the dozens of inhuman and ghostly figures that had suddenly appeared in front of him, a purple fireball rose from his palm and flew to the top of the secret chamber, illuminating the entire chamber as if it were daytime.
"Brother Rongyu, you've been tricked!"
Geng Qi's eyes curved slightly, his peach blossom eyes dazzlingly beautiful under the fireball. Rong Yu glanced at him from the side, then quickly looked away.
The group rushed toward the two people who were the only ones in the secret room. Geng Qi darted into the crowd and didn't even see the fleeting blush on the other person's face.
The people here seem to have no consciousness of their own, only knowing how to attack living people who are close to them. First, a low-level murderer entered the Li family to kill people, was captured by them, and was able to find this secret passage by reading the route in his memory.
Then there's the soul-eating Guhuo ghost kept in captivity. Look at the pull ring that Gao Yao touched before, placed in such an obvious place. People with curiosity will touch it, and then release these inhuman, living dead-like things.
This secret passage was a trap set by the mastermind from the very beginning to deal with them!
