This object was created by the mysterious "Master" using magic to easily cast the dark golden sealing spell, making it simple for Xiao Xuanxuan to accomplish this task.
At that moment, Yu Qinghua approached, holding a wooden box of moderate length, its contents hidden from view.
Yu Qinghua led the mysterious Master to the Inner Coffin.
"How is it?" Yu Qinghua asked, full of anticipation.
"Did you manage to get it? Where did you find it? I remember it had been missing for quite some time."
"It’s from my family's collection. I went back home and searched for it."
"Qinghua, thank you so much."
The final whisper felt like a soft sigh, bringing immense satisfaction to Yu Qinghua's heart.
Meanwhile, after the three of us escaped, we hurried to find Junfeng Wang. At that critical moment, Xiao Xuanxuan had risked Junfeng Wang's life; we needed to locate him immediately.
The first place we went was Junfeng Wang's company. We asked his secretary, who informed us, "Our Boss has been missing all morning. The manager has many important documents waiting for his approval. What are we going to do?"
After learning that Junfeng Wang was not at the company, we rushed back to his home. We searched both floors but still found no sign of him.
Mu Xuanche stood in the room where Xiao Xuanxuan used to sleep, looking out the window. Sure enough, he noticed something.
With a wave of his hand, Mu Xuanche said, "Let’s go. I think I know where Junfeng Wang is now."
The three of us headed to Changbei Mountain.
We stood at the foot of the mountain; it wasn't very high, but the surroundings were quite pleasant.
Tree Spirit The underbrush was lush and thriving.
We headed straight to the place where the female corpse was buried.
Initially, the surroundings were quite pleasant on our way there, but just as we were nearing Mu Xuanche, I noticed that the vibrant plants that should have been flourishing were gradually dwindling.
I turned to Mu Xuanche and asked, "Have you noticed that as we get closer to your destination, the plants and living creatures seem to be fading away? They look increasingly wilted and sparse."
Mu Xuanche nodded in response. "It's nothing to worry about; it's a normal phenomenon. This method of harming one's lifespan and fortune isn't good, so it's expected for life to diminish."
Suddenly, Bai Qiling stopped us, whispering, "Don't go any further; there’s a Drought Corpse in this mountain!"
Mu Xuanche, who had been engaged in conversation with me and hadn’t paid much attention to the environment, now realized how dire the situation was. The surroundings felt almost hopeless.
Trusting Bai Qiling's warning about the Drought Corpse, the three of us halted.
Bai Qiling drew out his weapon, while Mu Xuanche summoned the Devouring Blade. At this moment, our mission to find Junfeng Wang had to take a backseat; we needed to deal with this Drought Corpse first—better safe than sorry.
To avoid becoming a burden or facing any threats, I also prepared several talismans.
"Roar—"
A sound echoed through the mountains, startling all three of us. It seemed that the Drought Corpse was about to confront us.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before an unknown creature charged towards us at high speed. We could see its shadow darting through the grass.
Mu Xuanche quickly formed a seal and silently contemplated the next move of the Drought Corpse. Then he cast his spell, and it hit!
We watched as the creature's body paused in the underbrush before vanishing from sight…
The three of us went to take a look, but the Drought Corpse we had just hit was nowhere to be found. Bai Qiling felt frustrated and waved the Asura Chains in her hand, sending leaves swirling around.
It was because of Bai Qiling's action that we discovered the monster; she had inadvertently exposed herself!
The fallen leaves were a bit chaotic, and at that moment, the Drought Corpse attacked us from amidst the disordered foliage.
Fortunately, Mu Xuanche was well-prepared. He quickly used his spiritual energy to protect us all.
The Drought Corpse's primary target was not me, the weakest in our group, nor Mu Xuanche, who had just struck it once, but rather Bai Qiling, who had first detected its presence!
As the Drought Corpse charged out, I finally got a good look at it: a face of dark greenish-black, twisted features that made it look like someone owed it millions and hadn’t paid up.
Bai Qiling was engaged in combat with it, and Mu Xuanche joined the fight as well. With Mu Xuanche now fully involved, victory seemed assured. Ultimately, Bai Qiling burned the Drought Corpse to death with Netherfire.
Suddenly, Junfeng Wang appeared before them, rushing over to see what they were burning.
Junfeng Wang smiled wryly and said, "Xiao Xuanxuan sent me out; what will she do now?"
Watching his feelings for Xiao Xuanxuan evolve from fear to concern made my heart ache.
However, I had no idea what Xiao Xuanxuan was currently facing. Given that girl’s situation, the mysterious figure behind her should not have harmed her...
But I was the only one who could empathize; Bai Qiling and Mu Xuanche wouldn’t care about such matters. How could I comfort him?
"Junfeng Wang, don’t worry. No matter what, she’s no longer an ordinary ghost; the powerful figure behind her shouldn’t kill her because of this."
I struggled to find some reasoning to reassure him.
After hearing this, Junfeng Wang replied, "Thank you very much. I know your words are just meant to comfort me. I've already decided that if Xiao Xuanxuan dies, I’ll die with her."
Junfeng Wang's demeanor was remarkably calm, perhaps due to that moment of honesty we had shared. I felt that he seemed to possess even more charisma than when we first arrived.
We were about to call him to join us on our way back when he said, "Can you take Xiao Xuanxuan's body with us? I've already found it." "Then hurry up and show us! What are you waiting for?"
Mu Xuanche, being taller, quickly took a few steps ahead, even faster than Junfeng Wang. It was clear he knew the way; the role of guide had shifted from Junfeng Wang to him, significantly increasing the overall pace of our group.
We arrived at a somewhat desolate and remote area that appeared empty. However, according to Junfeng Wang, this emptiness was merely a facade meant to mislead others; beneath it lay something else entirely.
We followed him around a massive rock, which concealed a hollow space beneath where we could descend.
Since Junfeng Wang had led us here, it was only natural for him to go down first. However, Mu Xuanche unexpectedly grabbed him and asked, "Did you just arrive at Changbei Mountain? Or have you been down here before?"
Junfeng Wang seemed puzzled by Mu Xuanche's question but answered honestly, "No, I just got here. The driver I took kept getting lost, which is why I arrived late."
Mu Xuanche acknowledged this with a grunt and then blocked Junfeng Wang's intention to go down first. "It's not safe down there. You follow me."
Junfeng Wang obediently replied with an "Oh," and waited for Mu Xuanche to descend before following him.
Mu Xuanche held a wolf-tooth flashlight in his hand, which emitted a very strong light.
Walking through this narrow and cramped passage felt oppressive. In the past, the tombs we entered had spacious corridors; although this one was also underground, it felt more like an initial storage chamber.
We cautiously made our way down the path until it gradually widened into a room of about one hundred square meters. Inside were various strange objects that puzzled Mu Xuanche, who frowned at the room's eerie layout. In the center stood a coffin.
As soon as Junfeng Wang spotted the coffin, he rushed toward it eagerly.
He opened it about a third of the way before suddenly stepping back and collapsing onto the ground.
Mu Xuanche and I hurried over to see what was wrong. "There's no one in the coffin!" I helped him up as he struggled to regain his composure.
We helped him walk out of there and returned to the ground.
After that, we headed to his home.
Too many questions plagued us. Why did my sleep end up being so good? Why was the corpse stolen by someone?
These questions surrounded everyone who entered the cemetery...
Unable to find the body, Junfeng Wang could only feel anxious.
