Chapter 331: The Ahoge Little Celestial Master Also Got Stronger 26

"It sounds like there's a voice." One of the disciples following behind suddenly spoke.

"First, pause the action, everyone tie this up."

Song Tian Shi took out the magic treasure from his universe bag in his sleeve.

This is a red hemp rope inlaid with copper coins, sealed at both ends with talisman paper; it can harm ghosts when used offensively and serve as a link when used defensively, to prevent suddenly losing someone.

"Everyone link together to avoid getting separated."

Song Tian Shi passed the red rope backward, making sure everyone had taken hold, then continued forward with peace of mind.

So the current formation is Song Tian Shi in the lead, Ye Tian Shi at the rear, and the younger generation of celestial masters in the middle.

And the voice continued.

The disciple who spoke first again reminded, "Song Tian Shi, that voice seems to be coming from the front tomb passage."

"I heard it too, but there's no other way here; we can only keep going forward." Song Tian Shi replied to him.

He had just taken a step when he felt something was off; his flashlight suddenly shone upward into the tomb passage, and his pupils dilated sharply.

"Hurry! Run inside! They're vampire bats!"

Song Tian Shi shouted, pinching a yellow talisman between his fingers and throwing it upward; the firelight temporarily halted the bat that the pig was about to swoop down on, buying everyone a few moments, and everyone rushed into the front tomb passage.

Chen Yang ran and shouted, "How strange! This kind of bat shouldn't even exist here; why are there so many!"

Her words reminded Jin Chen instead.

"Wuyang, put on this bracelet."

Jin Chen turned his wrist, and a bracelet emitting a faint silver light suddenly appeared in his hand; the mysterious power it contained drew everyone's attention.

Having finally reached the next tomb passage, An Wuyang panted slightly, reached out to let him help put it on, shook his arm, and asked, "What is this?"

"Something that can keep you safe." Jin Chen helped him regulate his breath, "If danger comes later, don't rush forward on your own."

"Understood, I will always follow the principle of hiding behind you in everything." An Wuyang said this with great confidence.

"We're almost at the first outer tomb chamber."

Song Tian Shi tapped the inner wall and speculated.

"Stone gate, the stone gate is here!"

Liu Liang, with sharp eyes, noticed the stone gate and immediately informed everyone, pointing toward it.

"This seems to be a mechanism set up according to the Five Phases of Yin and Yang."

Cheng Cinian crouched, wiped away the dust at the base of the stone gate, revealing some obscure symbols that, corroded by time, had become somewhat blurred.

"Let me take a look." Ye Tian Shi came up from behind, and together with everyone else crouched to study; the tomb passage was dim, and all flashlights were aimed at the stone slab.

Just then, Luo Sheng, who had been motionless, suddenly stepped back a few steps, placed his hands behind his back, and turned his ring.

When no one could see, Fu Xizhou was released by him and hid nearby.

Wantonly, it began to absorb the endless yin energy.

It even affectionately wrapped around Luo Sheng's waist, transferring a portion of the yin energy to his soul.

Luo Sheng is not a fierce ghost, merely a wisp of a soul, unable to absorb yin energy on his own, so this method actually helps increase his soul.

He offered no resistance, still treating Fu Xizhou with an affectionate demeanor, merely turning his head to look ahead, his eyes turning cold again.

This scene was not unseen; Jin Chen took it all in.

"Wuyang, look up."

Jin Chen suddenly called out softly.

"What's up… ow." An Wuyang, hearing the voice, instinctively looked up at him, and his eyes were covered by Jin Chen's fingertips, feeling a chill.

He didn't understand, squeezed his eyes shut tightly, then opened them to find himself held in Jin Chen's embrace, who whispered in his ear: "I've opened your heavenly eye; Fu Xizhou has appeared invisibly—be careful of him."

An Wuyang nodded, pretended to survey the surroundings, looked toward where Luo Sheng was standing, and indeed saw a Fu Xizhou dressed in red.

Strictly speaking, this is An Wuyang's third time seeing him.

The first time his evil soul was taken, the second time he reclaimed it, this time Fu Xizhou actually planned to directly take his life.

His gaze looks quite kind, so why would he act like an evil ghost?

Perhaps because his gaze lingered too long, Fu Xizhou's doubtful and scrutinizing look also came over; he startled inside, but acted as if nothing happened, averting his gaze and continuing to survey the surroundings.

Upon looking, he actually managed to see something.

"Chen Ge, Chen Ge, look at that rock," An Wuyang shook Jin Chen's sleeve, indicating the direction he was pointing.

"Doesn't it look like… an Eight Trigrams lock?"

Jin Chen nodded, his eyes slightly narrowed, glancing at the stone slab symbols that Ye Tian Shi and the others were still studying.

"Cheng Cinian, look up at the rock." He reminded them, but did not directly tell them how to enter.

As Cheng Cinian and Chen Yang lifted their heads, he lightly waved his arm, opening their heavenly eyes as well.

Although they also saw the rock's hint, they then held their breath, exchanged a quick glance with Jin Chen, and pretended nothing had happened.

With the hint, the stone gate was easily opened.

But everyone knows that the true danger of this tomb palace lies within the stone gate of this first outer tomb chamber.

Song Tian Shi and several disciples jointly pushed the door open, and the heavy stone slab door emitted a huge sound.

Jin Chen glanced at the ground, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked silently at the still-silent Luo Sheng, then quickly withdrew his gaze.

The stone gate was fully opened; a denser chill surged in, lowering the temperature of the whole tomb passage by several degrees; An Wuyang shivered, peered inside curiously, and his ahoge stood up.

After catching ghosts for so long, this was still his first time entering a tomb.

The inner tomb passage was even more labyrinthine; Song Tian Shi still led the way, and everyone became even more cautious.

Hiss—

Hiss—

The sudden sound made everyone's nerves tense to the limit.

The disciple walking ahead swallowed saliva, slightly lowered their posture, and closely followed beside Celestial Master Ye.

"What... what kind of sound is that?"

Those who had opened their heavenly eyes clearly saw that Fu Xizhou's body was thick with ghost qi, which had attracted a few little ghosts; they also learned to hide like him and were now crouching not far ahead.

The little ghosts wore only dudou, their bodies deathly pale, faces tinged green, staring at them with huge, black eyes; it seemed they were waiting for them to pass, ready to pounce the moment they did.

Cheng Cinian and Chen Yang exchanged a glance, then looked toward Jin Chen as if seeking his opinion.

Jin Chen shook his head, signaling them to retreat backward.

If they acted prematurely, it would let Fu Xizhou know they could see his ghostly form.

This is probably a probe.

But the one probing seems not to be Fu Xizhou.

Now is not the time for them to be exposed, but I can be fearless.

"Celestial Master Song, don't go forward."

He suddenly shouted loudly, causing the few people ahead to stop their steps, turning their heads over in doubt.
