Chapter 1556: Resurrection

Qishu retreated a few steps, looking left and right, sizing up his surroundings; he was doing his utmost to find a way out, he had to save himself.

The reward was no longer important; now, what he was thinking about was how to stay alive. He believed that once this thing was put down, everyone inside, one by one, would absolutely be on a path to death, so he had to find a way to save himself.

"Where is the exit?" Just at this moment, Ye Er's sinister voice came over.

"There, right there, behind the sixth warrior. According to the orientation, that place is the Life Gate, which is the exit here." Qishu was startled and hurriedly pointed to a hidden door behind one of the warriors.

"Good, hehe, Qishu, you are indeed an expert. What you said is not wrong at all; one in, one out, there is an entrance, and this is the exit." Ye Er chuckled, and with a wave of his hand, *clatter*, several guns were pointed at Qishu simultaneously.

"General Ye'er, what are you doing?" Qishu's legs went soft with fear; he looked at the pitch-black muzzles before him, trembling, and for a moment, he was completely terrified.

"I cannot guarantee whether you will ruin my plans, so I can only kill you now." Ye Er sneered, "To me, you have no value left."

"No, I still have value. Mr. Ye Er, I promise I won't hold you back, but the Life Gate requires a secret method to be unlocked. If you kill me, how will you get out?" Qishu pleaded bitterly; he knew that Ye Er was someone who would definitely do what he said.

Moreover, this guy himself was a person who would kill without blinking, so human life was simply worthless in his eyes.

"Hehe, Qishu, I am also willing to believe that you are a smart man. You should know clearly what to do." Ye Er gave Qishu a meaningful smile, "I hope you can be sensible."

"I can be sensible, I will definitely be sensible. Mr. Ye Er, I will safely send everyone back." Qishu swallowed his saliva; there was no way to communicate with this madman, he could only go along with the other party for now.

"Very well, let's go open the coffin now. Men, take the coffin down." At Ye Er's command, his subordinates began to remove the coffin.

Several ropes were wrapped around the Copper Coffin, and the chains locking the Copper Coffin were also burned through. With everyone pulling together, the Copper Coffin was dragged out of the deep pit by force.

Ye Er's expression was agitated; he walked forward slowly and knelt down, chanting scriptures from some unknown place. He placed both hands flat on the ground slowly, then pressed his forehead down deeply, nine times in succession.

Only then did he stand up and say to one of his subordinates, "Open it."

That subordinate nodded, then brought people and tools to pry open the Copper Coffin.

The lid of the Copper Coffin was slowly shifted aside; the thing that had been sealed in dust for hundreds of years inside the coffin was about to see the light of day at this moment.

A woman dressed in gorgeous attire was lying quietly inside; although a thousand years had passed, her corpse had not decayed.

Her hands were folded over her chest, and her face was covered by a Golden Mask. Although only the lower half of her face was exposed, one could still tell that she possessed a peerless appearance.

"Honghou, it really is Honghou. It seems the records in the notebook my grandfather gave me were truly not wrong; Honghou was indeed buried in some place, her face covered by a Golden Mask." Ye Er's expression was agitated, "As long as she is awakened, she will obey your commands. She can help you rule this world, and even grant you immortality."

"This is true, all of this is true, hahaha..." Ye Er laughed wildly. After planning for ten years, he had finally found Honghou. Thinking that he would rule this world in the future, and even be able to live forever, he appeared extremely excited.

His followers all placed their fists against their chests and shouted in unison, "General Ye'er, victory, victory..."

The voices of hundreds of people were extremely loud, carrying far away, causing the surroundings to vibrate slightly, and the eyes on that face covered by the mask suddenly opened.

Ye Er was in a very good mood; he laughed heartily, walked forward, and reached out to remove the mask.

At this moment, Qishu seemed to have seen something terrifying; he retreated quietly, backing to the rear of the crowd.

Seeing that Ye Er's hand had already touched the mask, he could no longer remain calm. He turned his head and ran desperately in the direction he had come from. He knew there was no way back, but it was better than dying here; he didn't want to die...

Slipping into a tunnel, he fled desperately forward. Although he was a bit old, his movement technique was still nimble. Along the way, he followed the marks he had made, retreating frantically.

Behind him, a hysterical scream rang out. A powerful Dark Power surged from the direction where Ye Er was, which made his hair stand on end, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Suddenly, he stopped abruptly. He looked at the ground; the Taoist Talisman he had laid down had exploded at some unknown time.

And he knew clearly that once the Taoist Talisman exploded, it meant that something had been released.

It's over... These were the last two words in Qishu's mind. Immediately after, his waist tightened, gripped firmly by an unknown creature. He screamed as he was dragged into a hole in the wall.

After shaking off the armored soldiers, Chen Yu continued to walk forward. The further he went, the more complex the road conditions became.

Before shaking off a monster with a sphinx-like Appearance, he clearly felt that he had walked into the hinterland of this place. Just at this moment, a burst of extremely strong Dark Power came over, which made Chen Yu's expression change slightly.

"Good fellow, such a strong aura. It seems something has been released. That guy Ye Er is probably in grave danger," Chen Yu said to himself.

Although Ye Er's life or death had nothing to do with him, this guy had already touched the Curse. If this matter wasn't resolved, everyone on the island, one by one, would all die.

Chen Yu quickened his pace. Just at this moment, a faint cry for help came from a pile of rubble: "Save... save me."

"Who is it?" Chen Yu stopped and looked at the pile of rubble. He saw a middle-aged man with graying hair lying in the rubble, with several Corpse Worms crawling back and forth on his body.

"Huaxia person?" Chen Yu took a look at the other party; he was indeed a Huaxia person without a doubt.

"I am Chinese, please... save me." Qishu pleaded as if he had grabbed a straw for survival, "I live in Dongyang, but my ancestral home is Huaxia."

"You are that Grave Robber who brought Ye Er in, right?" Chen Yu guessed the other party's identity instantly.

"Yes, it's me, but I was forced. He found me; if I didn't go, I would have faced a catastrophe. I am not a bad person," Qishu pleaded.
