Chapter 330: The Little Celestial Master with a Cowlick Also Got Stronger Today 25

An Wuyang smelled a hint of blood on Jin Chen's body, immediately startled, pulled away from his embrace, and rubbed his hands on his chest.

"Why do you have a bloody smell? Did you get hurt when you went out just now?"

"No, no, I'm not hurt."

Jin Chen repeatedly soothed him, seized the boy's hands that were messing around on his chest, and together they were lifted onto the bed before he began to explain.

"I just heard a commotion outside; when I went out to check, I saw Fu Xizhou killing people and sucking their vital energy. This courtyard should have a formation laid by Luosheng that can let Fu Xizhou escape the Dao Association's barrier's control."

An Wuyang: "Then where does the blood smell on you come from?"

"When I went over to check, I realized it was a feint; I had just wanted to return to find you, but I was trapped by Fu Xizhou controlling the corpse ghosts, and the bloody smell comes from them."

Jin Chen took off his outer robe, went into the inner room to wash up clean, then continued onto the bed, holding the person in his arms as he lay down.

"Don't overthink it; you'll find out what remains after we go down to the tomb tomorrow. I will definitely not let you get hurt."

"Mm!"

An Wuyang relaxed, closed his eyes and fell asleep without any worries.

Anyway, even if a bigger ghost came! He still has his spirit-tablet boyfriend! No fear!

The lights in this courtyard were finally extinguished and the windows closed, entering peaceful rest under the moonlight.

But tonight, many people still couldn't sleep.

Cheng Cinian's courtyard.

"What?! What do you mean Cheng Luosheng isn't Cheng Luosheng? What are you saying?"

Chen Yang obviously understood Cheng Cinian's words.

The two half-closed the window and squeezed beside the tea table to talk.

Cheng Cinian had no reservations with her, speaking frankly: "Do you still remember? Luo Luo's body still contains a wisp of lingering soul; this soul has now gained self-awareness, and the ghost king in Luo Luo's courtyard was their lover in a past life."

"Oh! So the Cheng Luosheng at today's gathering is that wisp of soul controlling the body."

Chen Yang finally understood, then asked himself if there was anything he could do to help.

"In short, tomorrow we'll just watch developments; I'll call you if needed."

Cheng Cinian did not directly reveal Jin Chen's identity; although tomorrow's affair is dangerous, they at least have Lord Jin overseeing things, and if too many people knew, something might go wrong.

"Alright, you rest early… Cheng Luosheng? How did you come here?"

Chen Yang opened the door, just about to leave, when he saw Cheng Luosheng leaning against the door, face pale, cold sweat dripping.

"Senior brother, I came to find senior brother." Cheng Luosheng forced himself to stay energetic; although he wasn't suited to come out today, after learning some truths he had to tell Cheng Cinian, only then could he feel at ease.

"Luo Luo!"

Cheng Cinian recognized him, hurriedly got up and embraced him, then had Chen Yang fetch some water to give him drink before starting to ask.

"How did you come out tonight?"

Cheng Luosheng shuddered, then told Fu Xizhou about how Luosheng had left An Wuyang's courtyard earlier and met a mysterious person.

"That person should also be a Celestial Master, but he was completely shrouded in a black cloak; I couldn't see his face clearly, only knowing that Luosheng called him… something Alliance, and they both want to kill Fu Xizhou."

"I originally… wanted to inform that lord, but their courtyard had already lights out, fearing to disturb their rest."

Cheng Cinian couldn't believe it: "He actually wants to kill the Ghost King; aren't they lovers?"

"I'm not sure; the conversation between Luosheng and the An Celestial Master is half true, half false, and I can't tell. Tonight mainly I want to tell you: tomorrow we will face enemies, perhaps not only the ghosts in the Tomb Palace, but also that very powerful Celestial Master."

"I'll prepare well, you don't need to worry." Cheng Cinian saw his face still pale, felt heartache, and cupped his cheek with his palm.

"You should go rest soon; only then can you better exorcise the lingering soul tomorrow."

"I know."

Cheng Luosheng slowly exhaled, then looked toward Chen Yang: "Elder Sister Yang, why are you here?"

Chen Yang spread his hands: "Today I was frightened by the eerie manipulation of that wisp of soul inside your body; I came to ask Cheng Cinian what's going on."

"All in all, everything will soon be over," she comforted the two who were feeling down, "After tomorrow, the lingering soul in your body will be expelled, and everything will return to normal." Having said that, she left the room.

"Then I'm heading back too." Cheng Luosheng rubbed his slightly sore neck, "Senior brother, rest early."

"Mm, go ahead."

——

Early the next morning, all the Celestial Masters who were to go down into the tomb gathered in the Main Courtyard.

Besides the ten people who had gone out yesterday, Cheng Cinian and Cheng Luosheng also went down into the tomb together.

Cheng Tianzong early on handed over the ring containing a magical treasure to Cheng Cinian: "Be sure to be careful; even if you can't get it in one try, don't rush, nothing is more important than your lives."

He then looked toward the silent Luosheng.

"Luo Luo too, even if you've been arguing with your senior brother these days, don't act rashly, got it?"

Luosheng was eager to hurry into the Tomb Palace, so he gave a perfunctory chuckle twice to show he had heard.

Among the twelve people going down into the tomb this time, only Ye Celestial Master and Song Celestial Master were elders, so they naturally took on the duty of leading the team.

They led the way, with Cheng Tianzong guaranteeing; behind them, An Wuyang, still not fully awake, leaned on Jin Chen's shoulder to regain composure.

"The most painful thing for a college student," he muttered in Jin Chen's ear, "is that vacation starts earlier than having to get up at eight a. m."

Jin Chen lowered his gaze, seeing the youth's eyes barely opened, couldn't help but find it amusing.

"You weren't even awake after washing your face just now?" he also said in a low voice.

"Not awake at all."

An Wuyang yawned, then continued leaning on him with eyes closed.

Suddenly, the whole venue fell silent at some point.

An Wuyang sensed the gaze, furtively opened a slit of an eye, saw everyone staring at him, and was jolted awake, his eyes widening greatly.

"What does the An Celestial Master think?" Ye Celestial Master's face bore a mocking smile as he repeated the question.

What do you think? Tell me what to do.

An Wuyang's mind was in turmoil, so he simply ducked behind Jin Chen, pretending not to know anything.

Jin Chen: "He doesn't need looking after; I'll protect him. As for Ye Tian Shi, you still need to properly protect yourself before you wake. Has the Yin Yang Umbrella been repaired?"

His tone was too cold, and it literally made the originally bustling atmosphere in the courtyard turn cold.

Ye Tian Shi's face was grim; in the end he didn't say much more, and Song Tian Shi stepped in to smooth things over.

All right, all right, since everything is ready, let's go together to the entrance of the tomb palace.

Cheng Ci Nian gestured toward the outside of the door, "The bus is already ready, just outside the Main Gate."

Half an hour later, the bus stopped at the end of Pan Shan Gong Lu.

Going further ahead is the tomb palace entrance guarded by the Dao Association disciples.

To prevent any unexpected situations, at least fifty-plus people were guarding outside the entrance, and each person going down into the tomb was equipped with the Dao Association's special communication equipment, so even if there was no signal inside, they could still stay in touch.

Let's go, everyone.

Ye Tian Shi and Song Tian Shi walked in the front, and the twelve of them descended into the tomb together.

Not long after entering, the narrow path became increasingly crowded, and the chilling air grew heavier.

They walked for nearly another ten minutes.

Swish—

A sound broke the silence.
