Chapter 427: Chapter 427: Walking Dead

"As the name implies, a Protection Shield is meant to protect us with a shield of light."

As Shi Yaoguang spoke, he casually tossed out two Protection Shields.

The shields of light landed on the Diviner and the young cameraman, instantly engulfing them both.

Feeling secure within the Protection Shield, the young cameraman was overwhelmed with the urge to cry tears of joy.

His gaze towards Shi Yaoguang was also filled with gratitude.

The Diviner, on the other hand, was somewhat astonished.

More so, she was incredulous.

She had thought that given her relationship with Shi Yaoguang, he wouldn’t care about her life or death.

Thinking this, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "Since we came in together, I can’t just stand by and watch you die."

Upon hearing this, the Diviner fell silent.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t bother with her anymore.

He let his body sink along with the subsiding earth.

When they had sunk to a certain extent, they couldn’t feel the sensation of falling anymore.

The surrounding environment looked somewhat unfamiliar.

Unfamiliar, yet at the same time, somewhat familiar.

This was the scene they had just witnessed using the Tarot Wheel of Time.

Right now, they were in the location of the Blood Pond.

"Ah!"

An Xiaoya, upon seeing the bright red, flowing Blood Pond, couldn’t help but exclaim in horror.

She instinctively moved closer to Shi Yaoguang and said pitifully, "Master! It’s so scary!"

After she finished speaking, she caught Quan Jinbei’s disdainful look.

An Xiaoya: "..."

At a time like this, could he possibly stop being needlessly jealous?

She criticized this in her heart, but her face didn’t dare show it.

Instead, she faked a smile and asked, "Master’s wife, are you scared?"

Quan Jinbei shook his head.

Seeing this, An Xiaoya cautiously asked, "If you’re not scared, could you let me borrow Master?"

Quan Jinbei snorted softly, his thin lips parting slightly to spit out two words: "Dream on."

An Xiaoya: "..."

Whine whine whine.

Super sad.

Quan Jinbei no longer paid attention to the drama queen An Xiaoya, his gaze scanning their surroundings.

It was very dark around them, and it seemed like an underground cavern had been deliberately carved out.

Next to the Blood Pond, there were piles of bones stacked up.

It looked extremely ghastly and frightening.

"What kind of haunted place is this?"

Upon seeing the environment they were in, the Diviner couldn’t help but curse aloud.

The cameraman beside her was shivering even more, "Can we get out of here?"

The Diviner didn’t speak.

Whether they could get out was something she also wanted to know.

She had originally thought the Mobei Desert was just for show, that even if there were formations outside, they couldn’t really affect them.

But it now seemed that there was more to the story.

Thinking of this, her expression darkened considerably.

She was clearly being set up!

Upon this realization, her expression turned even more resentful.

And when she looked at Shi Yaoguang again, she did so with a hint of anger.

"Did you know there was something wrong here all along?"

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang blinked, doubting what he’d heard.

"Are you sure you’re talking about me?"

The Diviner snorted coldly, "Don’t think that just because you deny it, this has nothing to do with you! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have come here and I wouldn’t have encountered danger!"

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t help but curl his lips.

"It’s interesting that you say that. Did I ask you to come here?"

"Or was it me who asked for trouble?"

The Diviner rolled her eyes, "It’s all because of you!"

She was furious, "If it weren’t for the trouble you caused, I wouldn’t have..."

She drew out her tone, her complexion ugly, "Hmph, in any case, it’s all your fault!"

Seeing that she insisted on blaming him, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t be bothered to explain.

He shrugged his shoulders, "Think what you want, say what you like."

Shi Yaoguang could endure it, but An Xiaoya couldn’t.

She looked at the Diviner, her expression dissatisfied, "My master didn’t provoke you at all, it was clearly you who coveted my mistress first!"

"This was originally your fault, what right do you have to blame my master?"

Seeing An Xiaoya behaving protectively like a mother hen, the Diviner couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "If you insist on thinking that way, I can’t do anything about it."

Just as the two were about to start arguing, the guy carrying the camera couldn’t help but tremble and speak up.

"Can you... stop fighting for a second."

While speaking, he shakily pointed towards the Blood Pond.

"Look, look... something seems to be crawling out..."

Hearing his voice, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look.

Upon turning around, they were met with a pair of bloodstained, pitch-black eyes.

"Aah—"

The young nun couldn’t help but let out a scream.

"What the hell is that?" cursed the Diviner, unable to restrain herself, "It scared me to death!"

An Xiaoya kept nudging closer to Shi Yaoguang, ignoring Quan Jinbei’s cold look and coquettishly whimpering, "Wuwuwu!"

"Master, save me!"

Quan Jinbei frowned, flames igniting in his palm.

Seeing this, Shi Yaoguang grabbed the eager Quan Jinbei.

"Wait."

Quan Jinbei turned his head, "What’s up?"

Shi Yaoguang pursed her lips, her expression growing somewhat grave.

"This thing is not easy to deal with."

As she spoke, she subconsciously began searching through the contents of her own space.

Trying to recall what she had that could suppress this creature.

Initially, she had thought that something that had existed for over a hundred years shouldn’t be too fierce.

Now, having clapped eyes on it, she could confirm that its cultivation level was much higher than she had imagined.

With this thought, her expression became even more serious.

Seeing this, Quan Jinbei extinguished the flame in his hand and fixed his gaze on the Blood Pond.

Looking at the shadow emerging from the Blood Pond, he subconsciously began pondering.

What was the best way to deal with it.

After a moment, he said, "Suppressing it will probably take quite an effort."

"More than just an effort," Shi Yaoguang massaged her temples, her tone becoming heavier, "The nourishment from the Blood Pond, combined with the resentment of the deceased, has allowed it to develop Spirit Intelligence..."

After saying this, she suddenly shook her head, "No."

"He voluntarily cultivated Demonic Cultivation Techniques and became an Evil Cultivator."

"However, even as an Evil Cultivator, he is still flesh and blood..."

She paused, then concluded, "Strictly speaking, it should now be considered a walking corpse!"

And it was a walking corpse tainted with the karma of countless vengeful spirits.

A walking corpse eroded by vengeful spirits was much harder to deal with than your average Fierce Ghost.

An Xiaoya and the young nun exchanged glances, each taking out the only Magic Artifacts they had on them.

"This is all we have on us, can we..."

The two of them put their items together, prepared to hand them over to Shi Yaoguang.

Turning around, they saw that Shi Yaoguang’s hand now held a large cloth sack.

Upon a cursory scan, they could see that it was filled with various Magical Treasures for suppressing fierce ghosts.

The most eye-catching of them was a Longsword amongst them.

Shi Yaoguang directly drew the sword, holding it in her hand.

As the sword left its sheath, the blade gleamed with a chilling light.

Just looking at it gave one an ominous feeling.

"This... this can’t be real, can it?"

The young nun exclaimed in astonishment, "An antique, oh my! How much would this be worth!!"

Hearing her money-grubbing voice, An Xiaoya also swallowed hard.

"It must be worth a fortune..."

Upon hearing this, the Diviner elegantly rolled her eyes and scoffed disdainfully, "Always got your mind on money!"
