The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 294 - 292: Flipping Your Coffin Lid

Chapter 294: Chapter 292: Flipping Your Coffin Lid

After Qin Zhao and Tengshe broke the Array, Tengshe, being mischievous, swept its powerful tail towards the suspended coffins, intending to smash them to smithereens.

"No!"

A panicked shout rang out as a golden, semi-transparent figure appeared above the cliff.

An old man with white hair, dressed in the traditional attire of the Bo People, used his soul to block Tengshe’s attack, causing his soul to fade somewhat.

"Who are you? How dare you destroy our Bo People’s Array? You are truly seeking death!"

With a cold snort, the old man summoned many soul figures shimmering with golden light around him. They were the buried priests of the Bo People, their soul power used to maintain the Array.

And it was only when the suspended coffins were attacked that these souls would appear.

The golden souls, seeing the broken Array and an outsider with a creature that was neither dragon nor snake, deemed them the deliberate saboteurs of the Array.

"The flaw in your own Array allowed the Evil Spirit to wreak havoc, and you have the audacity to trouble me?"

Qin Zhao disdainfully glanced at the group of Bo People’s priests and effortlessly blocked their attack with a wave of her hand.

"Don’t bother me, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

She and Tengshe prepared to leave, but the souls took action again to obstruct them.

"It’s clear that you intruded here and broke the Array, causing the Evil Spirit to escape!" the old man roared, "Today, you will learn your lesson!"

Qin Zhao could hardly keep from laughing—it was Bai Qi, under the possession of the Evil Spirit, who had led her here. Trapped, she had no choice but to break the Array to escape. How had this turned into her releasing the Evil Spirit?

If there hadn’t been a flaw in their Array, how could the Evil Spirit have possessed Bai Qi?

"So you insist on fighting?"

Her peach-blossom eyes carried a hint of sarcasm.

Qin Zhao pointed at the suspended coffins, "Tengshe, flip over these old men’s coffins. They can’t understand human speech, why even stay in the world?"

"Arrroooo!"

At Qin Zhao’s command, Tengshe issued an excited roar.

The massive black snake surged into the air and in the blink of an eye reached the coffins. With a shove from its Dragon Horn, several coffins were knocked down, falling off the cliff.

With a sweep of its tail, more coffins and rocks fell.

"You...! This is outrageous!"

The old men glared furiously at Qin Zhao, but their powers were all being used to suppress the Evil Spirit, and they were unable to stop Tengshe. Their attacks towards Qin Zhao were also effortlessly dissolved by her.

Qin Zhao gave them a cold look, then leaped onto Tengshe’s back, preparing to ride the snake and leave.

"My lord, there are more bones below."

"This shows that creature escaped long ago!"

"His bones are still here, but a piece of his soul is missing!"

The initial old man finally realized, it wasn’t Qin Zhao who had released the Evil Spirit.

His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly called out to the departing Qin Zhao, "Miss, please wait!"

"What?"

Standing on Tengshe’s back, she looked down at them, her expression displeased.

"I misunderstood the lady just now, please forgive me."

The old man sincerely apologized and bowed deeply to Qin Zhao.

"The evil spirit suppressed here," he said, "is a degenerate born from our clan in ancient times who specialized in the art of human-skinned puppets and harmed the innocent, nearly exterminating our clan members. Out of necessity, we suppressed him here.

His skill in the art of human-skinned puppets had reached perfection, and the puppets were unpredictable and adept at beguiling people’s hearts. Should he escape, he could possess others’ souls, gather numerous disciples, and undoubtedly commit deeper sins in the world.

We suppressed him for nearly a thousand years before we gradually weakened his soul. Now that we’ve discovered he has escaped, we’re truly panicked, so we misunderstood the lady."

The old man’s apologetic attitude was quite sincere, so Qin Zhao did not continue to blame him.

After hearing his explanation, however, she felt the situation was quite grave.

Just possessing Bai Qi and leading her here, without letting her detect anything awry, showed how dangerous this character was.

And the young man beside Bai Qi, having no breath or heartbeat, was likely a transformed puppet.

As for the real boy, he was long dead!

It was the skeleton that Qin Zhao and Shangguan Qiu had discovered!

The human skin stripped from the skeleton was likely kept to make puppets.

"Lady, we have a request."

The old man looked at Qin Zhao with a solemn expression. As the oldest Priest of the Bo People, he did not easily bow to others. His quick admission of fault was because he sought help.

These people had long passed away, their souls left here forever to suppress the Evil Spirit.

But the residual soul of that entity had escaped, and they were utterly unable to pursue it, while their current clan members might not be a match for him.

They had to place their hopes on the woman before them, after all, her cultivation was excellent, and she had a powerful Spiritual Pet.

"Do you want me to deal with that Evil Spirit?"

Qin Zhao had already seen through his purpose.

"Yes, I see the lady as one with a just and kind heart, surely you won’t let such an Evil Spirit roam the world."

"Don’t try to flatter me. If it weren’t for that guy leading me here, I wouldn’t have accidentally disrupted your Array, and of course, I need to take care of him."

Qin Zhao had already intended not to let that guy get away.

He had already started killing in the village, and who knows how many more he intends to kill. The three missing geologists were very likely also victims of his hand.

And the other bones beneath the cliff, they were all individual lives.

The few Priests before her exchanged glances after hearing Qin Zhao’s words.

After a brief, low discussion.

They decided to tell Qin Zhao about the origins of the Evil Spirit and his weaknesses to aid her in dealing with him. They had trapped him for a thousand years, and it was time for closure.

Otherwise, their clan members would never be able to leave this place.

"That guy is called Bai Qi, and his tomb is at Decline Cliff. After he developed the human-skinned puppet, no one within the clan could match him; we could only let him bully us.

Once, when he fought with a Heavenly Master from outside, he was seriously injured. He ordered us to construct a secluded cave for his lengthy cultivation.

We built Decline Cliff Graveyard, using all of our clan’s strength, and trapped him here. This place became his eternal resting place, but our cultivation was far inferior to his; we couldn’t completely destroy him.

Having suppressed him for a thousand years, his cultivation had already dispersed, and his soul gradually weakened. It’s time now, lady, could you help us eliminate him completely?"

"I can, but what’s in it for me?"

"This..."

The Priests looked at each other, unsure what benefits she might want.

"The Sheepskin Scroll passed to the Priests in your tribe, what Cultivation Technique does it record?"

Qin Zhao had already planned to eliminate the Evil Spirit, but since they had brought it up, she naturally made a request. She was particularly interested in that Sheepskin Scroll Shangguan Qiu had mentioned, so she took the chance to ask.
