Chapter 781: Chapter 781: Soul Locking

Sun Lin asked, "What’s going on?"

"Have you two been wearing the jade pendants around your necks since childhood, or were they given to you by an elder in your family when you became adults?"

"Wow, what a master, you even know about this!" Wang Chongyang exclaimed in surprise, "We’ve had our jade pendants since we were little. My grandma told me they are family treasures, oh, right, we are cousins."

Yun nodded, "No wonder, when you two were crouching in the bushes earlier, those few things were lingering around you but they didn’t take your lives."

"Ah?"

The two exchanged glances, and seeing the serious expression on your face, they couldn’t help but shudder without reason.

Seeing nothing stirring around, Cao Shan turned to you and said, "Mu Yun, now that we’re all here, what should we do next?"

Turning his head to Zi Qian, who understood and handed you the bronze coin in his hand.

Taking the bronze coin, you looked around with it in front of your eyes, but you didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.

Zi Qian noticed this and reminded, "You need to catch the moonlight with this bronze coin to see the different space."

Moonlight?

Looking up, it was clear that getting moonlight to shine into the cave was not going to be feasible.

With this in mind, you slowly closed your eyes, and your vision shifted out from within you.

Following your usual way of thinking, your vision went underground, but even after delving dozens of meters deep, you still didn’t see anything. When you pulled your vision back, you inadvertently shifted it and caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye. Therefore, you moved your vision toward the rock wall on the right hand side, penetrating the rock wall and continuing deeper.

After shifting about tens of meters, you suddenly discovered that there was another space inside!

This space looked like an upside-down bowl with a round sky and square ground; the rock walls all around were very regular and smooth, clearly man-made.

What surprised you even more was that this closed space of about a hundred square meters appeared oddly in the middle of the mountain, as if it had existed innately.

However, the semi-circular top of the space’s rock wall was carved with many characters that you couldn’t understand, and even the ground had a very strange pattern etched into it.

Once your vision returned, you slowly opened your eyes and a smile appeared on your face. Turning to Sun Lin and Cao Shan beside you, you said, "Found it."

"What did you find?"

You didn’t immediately tell them but walked decisively towards the rock wall in front of you, then placed your hand on it: "Starting from this position, if we break through into the mountain, about eighty meters or so, there is a semi-circular closed space. The rock walls inside are carved with many strange characters, which should be the clues."

Sun Lin and Cao Shan exchanged glances, both shocked by your words.

"Mu Yun, are you serious?"

"Indeed, if we break eighty meters in from here, that’s the heart of this mountain peak. Not to mention how difficult it would be for us with modern technology, it would be even more unlikely two thousand years ago."

You shrugged, "Believe it or not, that’s up to you. Anyway, even if you don’t do it, I’ll still break through on my own. However, by then, you won’t be able to enter."

Your words were clear and your attitude firm.

Sun Lin exchanged another look with Cao Shan. Just as Cao Shan was about to speak, you smiled and said, "Before that, I should send these resentful spirits in the cave to the Underworld."

You didn’t bother to explain to the people nearby. You knew this was a world judged by appearances and by force.

For the average person, face is equivalent to wealth and power, without which you can’t command or order Cao Shan and Sun Lin to do anything; thus, you’re left with no choice but to resort to fists!

The Sen Luo Curse Mark in the pupil of the eye suddenly began to spin rapidly, and a total of sixty-four Yellow Vermilion Charms flew out amid the shocked stares of the onlookers, aligning themselves in mid-air to form an Innate Bagua Formation.

Thereupon, the Innate Bagua Formation quickly scattered a strong golden light, and the vast cave was shrouded in the golden light in an instant.

You suddenly turned to ask Cao Shan, "Professor Cao, how many skeletons have you found in this cave?"

"There are a total of one hundred and eight skeletons, all of whom were buried alive."

"So many?"

Hearing that there were as many as one hundred and eight skeletons, you immediately dismissed the thought of helping them transcend, joking that with your current ability, you could at most transcend about twenty people at the same time.

Even a monk who specialized in guiding lost souls could not possibly transcend so many people at the same time without anyone’s help.

Therefore, you immediately formed three hand seals, and the golden light of the Innate Bagua Formation abruptly withdrew, turning the originally warm sensation to a sudden chill.

The Innate Bagua Formation began to release a strange kind of light, indescribable by those who saw it, feeling cold to the core whenever the light touched them, and even Zhang Dadong started to shiver.

When did fog begin to form in the cave?

"Where did this fog come from?"

Wang Chongyang let out a surprised cry.

At the same time, the sound of iron chains dragging and clanking on the ground reached everyone’s ears: "Clang... Clang..."

"What’s that noise?"

Qin Han aimed the flashlight in his hand outside the cave, but because of the fog, the visibility was very blurred, merely making out two figures walking side by side towards you.

"Who’s there?"

Cao Shan was about to walk towards the two figures when Sun Lin grabbed his hand and shook his head slightly at him.

Soon, two men in black long gowns appeared, the man on the left was entwined with an iron chain as thick as an arm, which trailed behind him and hence made noises while walking; the other man had a brush and a ledger in each hand.

Both were expressionless.

Without a second thought, these two were the Ghosts you summoned, only this time they belonged to Chang’an since this place was within its bounds.

You were not familiar with Ghosts, and they didn’t pay you any attention; the Ghost with the ledger seemed to flip through the ledger casually and then spoke slowly.

His voice was somewhat hoarse and not very clear, sounding as if you were standing in a valley while someone outside the valley was calling your name, creating several echoes.

"Fan Shen... Wang Li... Wu Han... Hong Guang..."

Each time the ledger-holding Ghost called out a name, the other Ghost would shake the iron chain, followed by a heartrendingly shrill scream, and a dark shadow could be vaguely seen being sucked into the chain.

The ledger-holding Ghost called out a full one hundred and eight names, and in the end, he looked at the ledger one more time before slowly closing it.

Before leaving, the two bowed their hands to you slightly; after you returned the gesture, they turned and disappeared into the fog.
