ng status. This was her first appearance before everyone in the manor.The head of the household was uneasy, especially when he saw the constables. Neither Ripples nor the steward gave them so much as...Guo Zi was aware of the power of Lian Yi's attack, so he instinctively dodged. Unfortunately, the opponent was too fast and used all their strength, causing him to be flung backwards, crashing into the main tomb chamber until he hit a stone coffin, finally coming to a halt.

"A painful groan escaped Guo Zi Zheng's lips, he felt his bones were surely broken, and his internal organs were churning like a storm. As soon as he propped himself up, he vomited a mouthful of blood. "

Meanwhile, Wuyu, Honglian, and Lianyi cautiously approached the main burial chamber. This space was twice the size of the side chambers, a circular chamber with a stone sarcophagus on a central pedestal. The sarcophagus was intricately carved and now filled with a crimson liquid that pulsed with an eerie red glow.

At the center of this tomb stood a stone sarcophagus, surrounded by two concentric circles of ordinary wooden coffins. The lids of all the wooden coffins had been pried open, and a strange smell hung in the air.

Liàn Yī walked at the back, she took back her red ribbon and wound it around her wrist. While Guò Huái's cultivation of demonic energy had been completely drained, he was reduced to an ordinary person, skinny as a stick, on the verge of death.

On the other side, Liang Gang wasn't doing much better. Half his body was already covered by the evil aura emanating from the dagger. He was struggling to even speak, and all he could do was gesture with his eyes, wanting Lian Yi to retract the dagger stuck in his hand.

Ripple let out a cold laugh, directly raising his hand to recall the dagger back into his own grasp. Then, with a swift palm strike, he sent the terrified Liang Gang crashing into unconsciousness.

When she also entered the main tomb, Hong Lian was holding her nose and said in a stuffy voice:

"Master Wuyou, this coffin lid has been opened by someone. Could it be a case of faking one's death"

"Amitabha! While faking death is a possibility, it's been hundreds of years since they died. There's only a pile of bones left."

Since you're already here, don't even think about leaving!

Guozizi held onto the stone coffin behind him, struggling to stand up. He gritted his teeth and said,

Then he directly extended his wrist to the edge of the coffin and drew it across with a vicious slash. Blood gushed out instantly, filling the air with a stench of blood. Combined with the strange smell already present, it was enough to make anyone nauseous.

Guo ZiZheng's face was contorted with madness. He thrust his bleeding wrist into the stone coffin and then roared, "

"Drink! Drink! Kill these three for me, my blood is yours!"

As soon as Guo Zi Zheng finished speaking, with a deafening "boom," the stone door of the main tomb chamber slammed shut, sealing the entire chamber. Then, a black, withered hand emerged from the coffin in the middle. Its long, black nails glinted menacingly, still stained with Guo Zi Zheng's blood, clinging to the edge of the coffin as it slowly began to move outward.

The surrounding decaying wooden coffins also began to creak, and out came skeletons of white bone. "Clack clack", the sound of bones rubbing together sent shivers down one's spine.

Hong Lian's eyes darkened, and she addressed the Wuyu monk directly:

"Wuyou, is this a dream or real"

Worry-free also had the same doubts. He directly raised his hand and pointed at his brow, then quickly wiped it in front of his eyes. Then he saw another eye appear on his brow. After looking around, it disappeared.

“It’s true, they set up a demonic formation on the original foundation of the main tomb. They used it to control the skeletons with evil spirits, turning them into puppets. That fool even sacrificed himself. As long as he doesn't die, the formation will keep running, relentlessly attacking us until we are exhausted!”

Wuyou also cursed him a fool, then looked at Guo ZiZheng with the eyes of an idiot, probably never seen such a person.

“It’s indeed quite stupid. This formation is evil. It's currently activated by his blood, and once it runs dry, it will continue to draw his flesh and blood. Then, it'll take his bones, and finally, his soul until his spirit completely vanishes, not even leaving him a chance to be reborn!”

Even the ripples felt helpless, "What kind of grudge could lead to this It's even dragging itself down with it."

Guo ZiZheng's face had turned as pale as a sheet. He hadn't expected this formation to be so powerful. No wonder his father had warned him time and again not to activate it with blood unless absolutely necessary. But now, it was too late.

While the three were talking, the Bone Army had already assembled, and the monster that crawled out of the main coffin was eyeing Ripple and her companions hungrily.

The other party was like a crawling animal, walking on all fours, with no clothes covering its body. All you could see was black, shrunken skin and a mouthful of foul-smelling saliva. It had a skull wrapped in black skin, with black gas oozing from its eye sockets, inside which two red dots flickered faintly.

"Ugh, that's so eye-searing!"

Even though she was trying to hold back, Lian Yi couldn't help but grumble that the zombies they had encountered were just as tough as the ones she experienced in the apocalypse.

That idiot's blood won't stop flowing for a while. While that evil spirit hasn't grown stronger yet, we better sever the sacrificial connection now.

Hong Lian touched the blood jade bracelet on her wrist and said directly.

"Honglian, are you sure you can break Guo Zizheng's sacrifice"

You can give it a try.

Hong Lian thought for a moment then said.

"Alright, I'll clear the way for you and send you to that fool."

Master Wuyou, please hold off that evil spirit. I'll send the red lacquer over, and then I'll come back to join you in dealing with the evil spirit puppet.

Great!

Both agreed.

Liàn Yī quickly stood next to Hong Liǎn, then moved her ankles and directly kicked a decaying coffin on the outside with a side kick. The coffin hit the white bone army in front, and was then shattered by a claw from the evil spirit puppet that crawled out of the main coffin.

"Follow me!"

Ripple didn't say a word, kicking left and right, sending the rows of coffins flying. The skeletal army blocking her path was scattered in all directions, bones littering the ground. Meanwhile, the evil spirit puppets, unable to withstand Ripple's physical attacks, gradually moved away from the center.

Master Wuyou thought Lianri's attack was very effective and wanted to imitate it. Unfortunately, after kicking twice, he couldn't move the wooden coffin even an inch. He could only flick his robes, silently withdraw his feet, and then began chanting sutras to prevent the bones from quickly reforming.

That's now!

While the spirit puppet was busy dealing with the wooden coffin, Ripple turned her wrist, a red ribbon wrapping around Honglian's slender waist. Then, with a strong pull, she flung Honglian towards the central stone coffin.

With a flush face that didn't change, the moment he was flung out, he already threw two blood jade talismans at the evil spirit puppet. The moment they landed, he snatched a blood jade bead from his wrist and stuffed it into Guo Zizheng's mouth.

Guozizheng still wanted to struggle and resist, but because he had lost too much blood, his hands and feet were weak. Hong Lian roughly grabbed his jaw and forcefully shoved the Blood Jade Bead inside. Then, she squeezed his neck until he swallowed the bead.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Guo Zi Zheng strained to cough, trying to spit out what was in his mouth, but Hong Lian didn't give him a chance. She started chanting incantations directly, and then streaks of red light emanated from Guo Zi Zheng's stomach, accompanied by crimson threads that coiled around him circle after circle.

Fifteen minutes later, Guo Zi Zheng transformed into a red humanoid cocoon.ning hall."Aunt, is there something you need I'm going to the restroom."Ripple's voice was soft and understated.Even when keeping vigil, one still needs to use the restroom. Moreover, her saying this...
