Chapter 43 Another Side
Looking at Liu Haoyu sweating profusely, Liu Jianjun continued.
“A man should have a clear conscience, don’t think I don’t know that besides this, you also stole Xiaolin’s stockings…”
“Stop, stop, stop!”
If this old man continued to talk, it would be a problem whether he could get out of bed, let alone see the sun tomorrow!
“Can we sort out the main business first?”
Liu Haoyu pointed to the Night God Palace not far away.
“With such a large demonic cave right in front of us, is it appropriate for us to talk about these things here?”
“Isn’t this for your future life?”
Liu Jianjun said so, but still put aside these trivial matters.
Although the reunion of father and son was not very pleasant, both of them were ghost exorcists and did not continue to talk about these things.
Liu Haoyu asked Liu Jianjun.
“Did you find any clues? And why didn’t you wait for us and come to this place alone?”
“Who knew you could find this place? Not to mention that I wasn’t sure when you would ascend the mountain.”
Liu Jianjun said frankly.
“Besides, this is not the first time I’ve been here.”
As he spoke, Liu Jianjun looked at the Night God Palace not far away.
“See that palace? It used to be an open space, and those miners built this palace inside.”
“But no matter how I tried, I couldn’t get close to that area, and could only watch them complete the palace step by step. But even so, I was still very clear that inside this palace was an altar I had never seen before.”
“Because of the Spiritual Vein Reshaping technique, dozens of miners disappeared in the mining accident at Ye Shangfeng that year. These miners have been in this place, building the altar day and night. Even though I tried my best to stop them, I still couldn’t stop the completion of the altar.”
“I’m not sure what the purpose of that altar is yet, but since it’s going to mobilize the entire spirit vein of Ye Shangfeng, it must not be a simple thing.”
Regarding the function of the altar mentioned by Liu Jianjun, Liu Haoyu guessed a possibility.
The Black Book had also mentioned before that Qin Liu’s condition was worsening, and even the power of reincarnation had found her.
However, the problem was that Ghost Messengers were not affected by the power of reincarnation at all.
So, is there a possibility?
Could the problem with Qin Liu be caused by this altar?
——————
On the other side, after Wu Yixuan entered the hidden world of Ye Shangfeng, he found that Liu Haoyu in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Sticky liquid with a strong smell of rust kept seeping out from the cracks in the rock wall at the exit of the mine tunnel.
Even more critically, with a blink of an eye, the scene in front of him changed from a barren mountain back to the depths of the mine.
“Ghost blinding?”
As an experienced ghost exorcist, Wu Yixuan immediately recognized that this was caused by a supernatural event.
He took out his peachwood sword and looked around vigilantly.
In this dim mine, he found that the space he was in was very chaotic.
The familiar landmarks had all turned into something else.
This also meant that it was almost impossible to get out of here relying on his usual experience.
The only thing he could do was to explore this place bit by bit to find a way to leave.
But… would the mastermind hiding in the dark give him a chance?
Wu Yixuan frowned, took out a ink measuring line from his pocket, fixed it on the rock wall, and began to prepare to explore little by little.
However, after taking only a few steps, the ink measuring line in his hand suddenly broke, and behind him… there was a rustling sound.
It was as if something was wriggling on the ground.
What exactly was that?
Wu Yixuan shone the flashlight over, and then he clearly saw that the broken end of the ink measuring line was covered with crystal clear liquid, as if it had been bitten by something.
But there was nothing behind him…
No!
Wu Yixuan’s pupils shrank sharply. He found that on the rock walls covered with dark red moss, there were suddenly a large number of bloody handprints, and many of the bloody handprints had already crawled onto his feet and were still climbing up!
He jumped back, creating a distance between himself and the bloody handprints, and swung his peachwood sword fiercely at the ground.
The blinding golden light instantly illuminated everything hidden in this area.
Those things on the wall were not bloody handprints at all.
They were countless Blood Vine Gu, which were rushing towards Wu Yixuan at an extremely fast speed, attacking him from the front and back.
The moment he saw these Blood Vine Gu, Wu Yixuan realized that he might have been transferred here at some point.
The person with such an ability would definitely not be weak.
Wu Yixuan knew this very well, but facing the Blood Vine Gu rushing from all directions, he could only choose to fight and retreat.
“Zhenlei Talisman!”
He pasted the talisman on the peachwood sword, and the rumbling thunder instantly repelled the surrounding vines.
The sound waves from the explosion hurt his eardrums, and in a daze, he clearly saw that these Blood Vine Gu were wrapped with half a human face.
These were the faces of the wives of the miners who disappeared that year.
“Using women to refine Gu…”
Wu Yixuan’s face was quite gloomy. He swung his peachwood sword again, splitting the attacking Blood Vine Gu. However, the space here was narrow, and there were too many Blood Vine Gu, so Wu Yixuan couldn’t move freely.
The Blood Vine Gu pressed closer and closer, and a few of them even wrapped around his ankles, their barbs piercing his skin, trying to absorb his vital essence.
Seeing that he had no more room to retreat, Wu Yixuan took a deep breath, raised his peachwood sword upright, and placed his index and middle fingers on the sword body.
“Borrowing power from heaven and earth!”
With a roar, white flames instantly enveloped his entire body, forcing back all these Blood Vine Gu.
But even so, Wu Yixuan knew very well that it was not suitable to stay here for long.
He had to rendezvous with Liu Haoyu as soon as possible.
He held the peachwood sword and fought his way out.
He didn’t know how long he had been chopping, but the raging flames on his body began to weaken bit by bit.
However, the Blood Vine Gu were still biting him tightly. Even if they couldn’t get close, they hadn’t been pulled away by Wu Yixuan.
When the peachwood sword split another Blood Vine Gu blocking his way, the half-head of an unfamiliar woman fell to the ground. Her resentful and angry eyes stared dead at Wu Yixuan, as if she wanted to devour him alive.
Looking at the woman’s face, an inexplicable and unspeakable fear instantly crawled up Wu Yixuan’s spine.
And at this moment, the peachwood sword in his hand suddenly broke, and the light of the flashlight instantly went out.
At this moment, he couldn’t see anything, and could only hear the hair-raising strange sounds from all directions.
This feeling was like being locked in a small dark room, and in that extremely dark environment, you could clearly hear tens of thousands of cockroaches crawling around.
Besides the chilling movements, Wu Yixuan also heard a taunting voice.
“The hemp rope always breaks at the thinnest part~”
