Although the tomb family could use the soul-sealing coffin to collect the corpses and remnants of the demonic spirits, thus preventing their innate supernatural powers from harming the mortal world after death, the prerequisite for collecting was that the demonic spirits must be either lifeless or powerless to resist!
Looking at this obese corpse with a robust aura, it was clear that it was far from dead; it was a formidable creature that Mu Youqian couldn’t handle!
“Could it be that the old man made a mistake?” Under the black cloak, Mu Youqian’s expression became grim.
He wanted to leave right away, but if he ignored the corpse, who knew what kind of disaster would happen?
Just as he was in a dilemma, a gust of wind broke out.
When he turned to face the sound, he saw three red-clad figures with white masks on their heads surrounding the obese corpse in a triangular formation.
Mu Youqian was very surprised: “Who are these people? How dare they face the obese corpse with at least a sixth-level calamity force?”
The single head, double body obese corpse heard the commotion, raised its head, exhaled, and scanned the surroundings at an odd angle to see three figures in full view.
It raised its double tails and struck the ground, and a thunderous sound erupted, shaking the entire mountain.
The intense aura, like a sharp blade, destroyed the mountains and trees along the way, creating cracks in all directions.Mu Youqian was shocked, the strength of this obese corpse was even stronger than he had originally thought, perhaps even reaching the seventh level of Calamity Force!
Such a presence could only be dealt with by the intervention of the Twelve Divine Generals, otherwise it would be difficult for anyone to resist!
However, the next scene shocked Mu Youqian even more. The mysterious figure standing directly in front of the obese corpse, with his hands clasped together, instantly raised a shadow under his feet, blocking the attack of the obese corpse.
“The Shadow Flowing Wall of the Hundred Spirits’ Dao Tradition. What is the rank of this person who has such strength?” Mu Youqian muttered.
In the blink of an eye, after the obese corpse’s attack was blocked, the person with the white mask clenched his right hand, and a massive shadow coffin fell heavily, crashing on the obese corpse’s head.
A piercing scream immediately sounded, followed by the violent reaction of the obese remains.
The trees withered at a visible speed, and the rocks turned to dust and disappeared into the air.
Mu Youqian felt as if his blood was about to evaporate from his body.
He understood, this was the obese corpse using his innate supernatural power to evaporate the moisture between heaven and earth!
With his strength, he was completely powerless in the face of such a move.
However, the three figures seemed indifferent, floating in the air, manipulating the Yin Qi between heaven and earth.
Within a moment, Yin Qi gathered in the air and turned into a huge black palm.
The palm covered the sky and forcefully pressed down on the corpse.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the entire mountain split in two, and the body of the obese corpse was pushed into a massive crack, and it was unknown whether it was alive or dead.
With the disruption of the obese corpse’s innate supernatural power, Mu Youqian also regained his mobility. He swallowed hard and hid his body among the fallen trees and scattered dust.
‘Who are these people? The ferocious beast Feiyi remains has fallen into the hands of these people, and surprisingly, they dealt with it in just one move.’
‘I don’t know why they are here to deal with this Feiyi, and from their appearance, they don’t seem to be members of the Demon Slaying Department.
“Well, it’s better to avoid unnecessary trouble. I’ll hide here and wait patiently for them to leave.’
‘After I go back, I’ll carefully explain the situation to the old man.’
Just as Mu Youqian was thinking this, he looked up and saw that the three figures had disappeared without a trace.
He was startled and, realizing the danger, was about to flee when a hand pressed on his shoulder, immobilizing him.
“Good sirs, I was just passing by, I didn’t see anything. Please let me go.” Mu Youqian hurriedly begged.
A hoarse voice came from under the white face, “The Tomb Family?”
“Yes, sir. I am indeed from the Tomb Family. I usually do good deeds and have never harmed anyone.”
“You can stay here.” A person with a white face said.
What did that mean? Mu Youqian was unsure.
“The Feiyi has the innate ability to fake death, which makes it difficult to kill. We want to take it back to the Ninefold Prison in Imperial City, but we lack a spatial artifact to contain it. Your tomb family’s soul-sealing coffin is just the right for the job.”
Nine-Fold Prison?
The Prison Execution Bureau?!
At this point, Mu Youqian finally knew the identities of the three individuals.
The old man had once told him that besides their tomb family, there was another place that constantly dealt with evil spirits that caused trouble after death, and that was the Ninefold Prison!
However, the difference between the two was that the Tomb Family could only seal the dead, while the Ninefold Prison housed living beings.
It was known that dealing with living evil spirits was much more difficult than dealing with the dead.
The reason the Ninefold Prison could accomplish this was due to the individuals from the Prison Execution Bureau managing it, each possessing profound and unpredictable strength.
Today, Mu Youqian finally realized that what the old man had said was not unfounded.
He laughed, “Respected Lords of the Prison Execution Bureau, the Soul Sealing Coffin is crafted by the Tomb Family, and only members of the Tomb Family can use it. Even if I wanted to lend it to you to seal Feiyi, you wouldn’t be able to use it.”
“We are well aware of that. So you will return to the Imperial City with us.”
“This,” Mu Youqian asked cautiously, “can I refuse?”
The three pale-faced individuals did not reply, only bowing their heads to look at him.
Mu Youqian immediately changed his tone, “I am honored to make a humble contribution for the esteemed lords of the Prison Division. May I ask when we will leave?”
“Now!”
After the group left, the devastated Hunsi Mountain regained its calm.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in the air, wearing a ghost mask and a black and red robe with a pattern of the number four on the chest.
After confirming that Fei Yi had been taken away, the figure disappeared into the vast night.
On the other side, Zhen Tianyi frowned as he looked at the dried-up lake.
“The aura is gone.” Yu Mei said quietly.
“Hmm.” Zhen Tianyi replied. A month ago, he had received an order from the Demon Slaying Department in Imperial City, but he had avoided it, claiming that he had other matters to attend to.
The reason was that while he was killing demons in the southern region, he discovered the traces of the Sword Ghost that had attacked Jinyang City.
He had been following the Sword Ghost to find the man who had crushed his Knife Qi.
But in the end, it was all in vain.
“No matter, since the aura can’t be tracked anymore, we’ll leave for Imperial City immediately,” Zhen Tianyi said.
Yu Mei nodded slightly, “The New Year is approaching, and the celebration ceremony is about to begin. The Demon Slaying Department of the Four Realms will be competing once again. Will you participate this time?”
At this, Zhen Tianyi raised an eyebrow, “The demons are rampant in the southern region, far beyond the other three realms. Last year, myself, the Spear Immortal, and Feng Gui were all too busy to go to the Imperial City.”
“As a result, the resources allocated to the southern region for the year were much less than the other three realms. This time, since I inexplicably received the order from the Imperial Capital, I might as well take some action to avoid others thinking that the Southern Region is an easy target.”
