Inside the pyramids.
The group was plunged into endless darkness, but for people of their cultivation level, this was not a big problem.
The further you go in, the wider the passageway becomes.
"Are we going uphill now?" Xiao Yichen asked, puzzled.
"No, I feel like it's going down."
Hei Xiangling said.
The group looked around warily, seeing only hard stone walls and a dark passage.
"Whether we go down or up, we have no way back, we can only move forward."
When Yingyue's voice came, the group turned around and realized that the path they had come from was gone!
I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine!
"No wonder none of those who came in could leave."
Xiao Yichen looked solemn.
"Now we're one of those trapped too..."
Ji Jiuying wasn't afraid. Although this place was strange, there were no restrictions. As long as there were no restrictions, no one could stop her from going out if she wanted to.
The group continued walking deeper into the area, and after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at a secret chamber.
The secret room was filled with bones and white powder, and there was nowhere to step.
"Judging from the clothing on these bones, they must have been those rogue monks who entered the pyramid some time ago."
“There are also some people who came in a long time ago.”
Yingyue frowned on Sunday, her face showing a solemn expression.
"Everyone be careful. Since so many people have died here, there must be something strange about this place." Ye Qingchen produced a jade flute in his hand, and a purple light flashed in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the group also drew their weapons.
Zheng—
A melodious zither tune echoed in the secret chamber, and several black demonic creatures flew towards the center of the chamber.
In an instant!
Black mist emanated from the skeletons on the ground and surged upwards, instantly engulfing the demons! The group was slightly taken aback. Ji Jiuying frowned, sensing a familiar aura emanating from the black mist, though she was certain it wasn't from Kamakura.
"What the hell is that?"
Ji Jiuying asked in confusion.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's a ghost. Ghosts like to devour souls, and the more they devour, the stronger they become."
"Someone in the shadows must be controlling these ghosts; we need to lure them out."
Ye Qingchen spoke, and Ji Jiuying finally understood.
The group nodded, and just then, thousands upon thousands of ghosts emerged from the skeletons, emitting terrifying screams, and surged towards them.
"Everyone be careful, these ghosts are poisonous."
Ji Jiuying reminded him, and summoned the Divine Phoenix Fan to release the Nine Heavens Profound Fire. Xiao Huang'er also summoned the Phoenix Feather Sword, with the Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire burning around the sword.
"You all be careful dealing with these ghosts. I'll go lure the person out from the shadows."
Ye Qingchen said.
"Qingchen, wait a moment. I'll sense the location of the person in the shadows. You can attack later." Ji Jiuying released Dongfang Yao: "Dongfang, sense the location of the person in the shadows."
"good."
Thud—
Streaks of fire shot out, hurtling towards the ghosts in mid-air, which instantly dispersed and then coalesced again.
These ghosts were too clever; they could precisely dodge their attacks every time. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the number of ghosts in the secret room didn't seem to have decreased much.
Just then, the hideous ghosts resting in mid-air coalesced together.
The eerie screams echoed continuously in the secret room, causing the group to frown.
"We've found her!" Dongfang Yao's voice came: "She's in the stone statue directly in front of the secret chamber."
At this moment, the ghostly figure drew closer step by step. Ji Jiuying summoned the Blazing Sun Bow, drew back the bowstring, and three beams of red light, like three fire dragons, burst forth from the bowstring with a roar—
The dragon's might dispersed the ghostly mass, which then coalesced again. The three fire dragons, as if alive, continuously coiled around the ghostly mass. The ghostly mass wasn't stupid either; it instantly dispersed into millions of ghosts. Little Phoenix wasn't idle either; she raised her Phoenix Feather Sword and swung it fiercely. A flash of red light appeared, and a fiery Vermilion Bird emerged from the sword. Wherever it passed, the ghostly mass vanished.
Ye Qingchen also took the opportunity to fly to the direction Dongfang Yao pointed. A purple light flew out from his jade flute, carrying powerful divine force as it struck the stone statue.
Thud—
A deafening roar caused the group to instinctively block out their hearing. The entire pyramid trembled violently, and even those outside noticed the unusual vibrations.
Just as Li Mobai was about to leave, his breath hitched. He suddenly turned back to look at the pyramid. For so long, no one had been able to move this pyramid. Yet, they had entered and hadn't even come out before discovering this strange sight. At this moment, Li Mobai believed that they could definitely create a miracle.
The sudden appearance of the person made Ji Jiuying stare wide-eyed in astonishment. How could it be her! How could she be here! Countless questions flooded Ji Jiuying's mind, and even Si Yu couldn't help but frown.
Just then, Ye Qingchen's killing technique instantly left his palm and struck the girl.
Ji Jiuying cried out in terror, "No—"
Ye Qingchen frowned, but it was too late to retract the technique. With a loud bang, the spiritual skill was blocked by an invisible barrier.
How did she end up here?
"Who is Xiao Jiu?"
"She's my cousin in name only!"
That's right, the person who suddenly appeared was Lan Xi, and it seemed that she didn't recognize Ji Jiuying.
Just then, Ji Jiuying noticed that the soul power that had been left on Li Moning was resonating with her, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Lan Xi's hands kept forming hand seals, and countless ghosts surged towards them again. Moreover, an invisible killing array was formed here. Ji Jiuying quickly found the array's core and broke the array. However, Lan Xi formed hand seals again, and Ji Jiuying broke the array again. Back and forth, Lan Xi completely lost patience and stopped forming hand seals, instead launching a fierce attack on Ji Jiuying.
Ji Jiuying leaped close to her and tentatively called her name: "Lanxi!"
However, the girl in front of her remained expressionless. Ji Jiuying called out again, "Li Moning!"
The person in front of her was clearly stunned for a moment. This momentary lapse in concentration confirmed Ji Jiuying's answer. She struck out with her palm, and the two of them distanced themselves again.
"Lanxi's body is being controlled by Li Moning!"
The group was stunned. This meant that the missing soul of Li Moning outside was inside Lan Xi's body and was still controlling her body.
"She only has one soul, how could she control someone with a complete soul? Someone must have done something to Lanxi in the dark!"
Si Yu said with a solemn expression, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. Was there really no way to avoid it? Her complicated eyes fell on Ji Jiuying.
"So what do we do now?"
Hei Xiangling asked in confusion.
“You distract these ghosts, I’ll confront her.”
Ji Jiuying remembered that when she called her earlier, she seemed to be conscious. If she was conscious, things would be much easier.
