Chapter 333: The Cowlicked Little Heavenly Master Also Got Stronger Today 28

Not everyone crossed safely.

Among the five accompanying disciples, one was truly terrified of sharing space with so many corpses, so he steeled himself and chose to go past the vines; perhaps the sensation of being suspended high up made him even more nervous, and he actually just fell straight down, without giving anyone a chance to rescue him, plunging directly into the water prison and sinking into the bottomless black pool. After a long while, two bubbles rose to the surface, and everything returned to calm.

This scene happened to be seen by Chen Yang, who was behind him; he felt that the breaking of the vine was somewhat suspicious, and involuntarily glanced back.

What followed startled her; she hurriedly increased her speed to swing past, using her gaze to signal Jin Chen and the others to look at something on the top of the rear cave dwelling.

The two little ghosts that had just disappeared reappeared, hiding in the stone cave above, only revealing their sinister upper faces, peeking at their every move.

Seeing this, Jin Chen landed, placed An Wuyang behind him, and in front of everyone, pinched the two little ghosts to death from afar; his gaze was cold and terrifying.

Luo Sheng, who had been observing him all along, had a startled expression, quickly averting his gaze and lowering his eyes in shock.

This Heavenly Master's power is far more terrifying than he imagined; that plan……

Luo Sheng glanced at Fu Xizhou beside him out of the corner of his eye and gritted his teeth fiercely.

No way, we've already come this far; the plan must succeed—no one can think of stopping me!

Continuing toward the second outer burial chamber, the deepest the Dao Association's detection team had previously reached was only this point, meaning that what they would experience ahead would be completely unknown fear and danger.

"There are two passages here." Cheng Cinian noticed Jin Chen's gaze and immediately came up with an idea, proposing.

"Why don't we split up? The two seniors are strong; they can take a few disciples to find and bring out the Spiritual Treasure Pearl, while I and Jin Chen Heavenly Master and the others go the other passage to clear obstacles and ferocious ghosts for you."

Chen Yang: "I think it's fine."

This proposal had not been mentioned when they discussed it above; Song Tian Shi thought for a moment and also asked Ye Tian Shi for his opinion.

"What's there to disagree with? We're here to conduct proper business; those youngsters love to play, so let them play." Ye Tian Shi would love to part ways with Jin Chen, as that would only make him appear weaker!

"If that's the case, you must be careful; if anything happens, I wouldn't know how to explain it to your grandfather."

Song Tian Shi had the remaining four disciples follow him, together with Ye Tian Shi, and they took the left passage.

An Wuyang immediately walked up beside Luo Sheng, turned his back to Fu Xizhou and gave him a look; the latter instantly understood, realizing these few people had already agreed to cooperate with him, secretly delighted, and gestured for them to move forward.

Luo Sheng was indeed very familiar with this tomb palace.

The few exchanged glances, and Cheng Cinian took the lead into the dark passageway ahead.

This time, the last person to arrive was Jin Chen.

Fu Xizhou gave Jin Chen a strange look, thinking this person had something wrong with him.

"Isn't he supposed to be able to see ghosts? Why isn't he attacking me?"

Just as he looked over, his eyes met Jin Chen's; he immediately went on guard, bared his fangs, and his originally handsome visage instantly turned distorted.

Who would have thought Jin Chen merely glanced at him, then quickly looked away, hands behind his back, strolling along nonchalantly.

Fu Xizhou: "??"

He followed closely behind Luo Sheng, keeping a greater distance from Jin Chen.

Fu Xizhou seemed to have become very 'reliant' on Luo Sheng from the moment they met today.

Noticing this, Jin Chen lowered his eyes in thought, deep in contemplation, and also noticed that the gaze behind him had begun to follow; he couldn't help curling his lip, concealing the ridicule in his eyes.

Not knowing how long they had walked, the group reached the depths and entered another tomb palace.

Upon arriving here, Fu Xizhou discovered that, although he originally did not want to absorb yin energy to avoid losing his human appearance near Luo Sheng, he found that the yin energy inside seemed to surge into his body on its own, utterly beyond his control.

A faint ghostly visage appeared on his face, his fangs could no longer retract, and feeling anxious, he urged Luo Sheng to quickly, as he had said the previous night, kill An Wuyang in order to restore his human body.

However, everyone present who had opened their heavenly eyes could hear this remark.

An Wuyang shuddered, feigning disbelief as he looked at Luo Sheng, as if questioning him.

Luo Sheng concealed the smile in his heart, slightly lifted his chin forward, signaling him to calm down and not be impatient, and told him to continue moving forward.

What exactly lies ahead, and why must we keep moving forward?

Everyone harbored this doubt; An Wuyang also glanced at the still pitch-black stone cave ahead, found it strange, and then looked toward Jin Chen, who was bringing up the rear.

"Go forward, don't be afraid." Jin Chen mouthed these words to him.

The apprehension in his heart vanished; An Wuyang gave a slight nod and continued forward.

After walking for a while, An Wuyang felt he was almost accustomed to the darkness when suddenly the ground beneath his feet trembled for an instant.

Accompanied by a soft laugh, the surroundings suddenly burst with blinding light, like in a darkness where one cannot see one's hand before one's face, a sunlight bright enough to blind eyes flared up, causing Cheng Cinian and the others to instinctively shut their eyes, their vision filled with pain.

At that moment, Luo Sheng looked around, letting An Meng no longer need to hide; just as he was about to speak, he turned his head and met Jin Chen's unruffled gaze.

Jin Chen's long hair fell over his shoulders; he lifted a strand of hair with his hand, smiling in an inscrutable, bizarre way: 'Finally it's about to begin; accompanying you all in this play has been rather exhausting.'

"What……?" Luo Sheng originally didn't understand what that meant, but then saw Jin Chen shift a step to the side.

Behind him, where An Meng should have been following, appeared the phantom of a tall, stalwart ghost general, one hand dragging a huge, heavy iron chain, blue-faced with fangs that exuded menace even without anger, the other hand clutching An Meng like a chick.

"Investigating Office Ghost General!" Fu Xizhou recognized it at once; after all, having spent centuries in the netherworld, he was thoroughly familiar with such attire down to the bone.

He transformed into a ghostly visage, blocking Luo Sheng's front, glaring angrily at Jin Chen in confrontation: 'Who exactly are you! How can you summon a netherworld ghost general!'

Jin Chen extended his arm and gave a light wave before him.

The blinding white light was pressed down from the sky; An Wuyang, who had been unable to open his eyes from the glare, exhaled in relief, covering his eyes as he slowly adjusted.

An Wuyang's eyes were red-rimmed; he added, voice choked with resentment, 'Luo Sheng, you're a liar—you said you'd cooperate with us and kill Fu Xizhou, so why, now that we're here, are you still not moving against him?'

Luo Sheng's spine stiffened; he looked at him in disbelief, 'You're talking nonsense,' through gritted teeth.

An Meng had been captured; the formation could no longer be opened, so he had to make Fu Xizhou trap these people!

"You yourself came over last night and said, let your beloved's soul witness Fu Xizhou's dissipation here."

An Wuyang snorted, turned his head to ignore Luo Sheng's eyes that were about to twitch into spasms, and felt secret delight in his heart.
