"ROAR!"
As the coffin was opened, a shriek came from within.
A monster, gleaming with silver light and wearing a hideous expression, flew out.
Everyone was stunned.
A moment later, they came to their senses.
Someone cried out in alarm, "This is bad! It’s a Vengeful Spirit! Run!"
Vengeful Spirits were, by their very nature, extremely malevolent beings.
It didn’t seem all that strange for a Vengeful Spirit to be lurking in the bizarre Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.
Furthermore, Vengeful Spirits were inherently cursed. Anyone they touched would become afflicted by that curse.
They had assumed the coffin held treasure, but now they realized the tomb’s owner must have played a cruel joke by sealing a Vengeful Spirit inside instead.
Mr. Jiao, Xiao Jun, and the others all fled for their lives.
One of them, however, reacted too slowly. The Vengeful Spirit was incredibly fast, and in the next instant, it pounced on the Martial Cultivator.
The Martial Cultivator immediately began to tremble violently. As if cursed, his life force rapidly drained away.
In the blink of an eye, he fell to the ground.
Dead from the curse.
The others were scared out of their wits. Even a Martial King Expert was no match for a Vengeful Spirit.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen ran to the left.
He followed a faint, mysterious sensation, which led him to an area shrouded in white mist.
Staring at the white mist before him, he could feel a cold, sinister aura wafting out from within.
"It’s in here."
Jiang Chen knew that the treasure he had sensed was within this white mist.
"Stop."
Just as Jiang Chen was pondering how to enter the white mist, a roaring sound erupted from behind him.
Then, a terrifying aura swept toward him.
Jiang Chen looked back, and his expression changed drastically.
He saw a Zombie, covered entirely in golden hair, striding toward him.
Trailing behind it were five Silver-haired Zombies and dozens of Green-haired Zombies.
There were also a few Martial Cultivators among them.
To Jiang Chen’s greatest surprise, a person was sitting on the Golden-haired Zombie’s shoulder.
And that person was none other than Lin Ying, the first one to enter the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.
"Lin Ying."
Jiang Chen stared at Lin Ying in astonishment, his eyes cautiously fixed on the ferocious Golden-haired Zombie.
"ROAR..."
The Golden-haired Zombie let out a deafening, thunderous roar at Jiang Chen.
"It’s you?"
Lin Ying also recognized Jiang Chen.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"If I’m not mistaken, you’re the one who abducted Lin Yuan that night, right?"
Suddenly, Lin Ying seemed to have guessed something and asked with conviction.
That night, Lin Yuan had been rescued. Afraid the news would leak, Lin Ying had immediately set out for the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.
He had guessed back then that it must have been Jiang Chen’s group who rescued Lin Yuan.
"That’s right, it was me."
At this point, there was nothing to hide.
After all, the fact that they met here explained everything.
"It seems you’re really looking to die."
Lin Ying snorted coldly.
He said to the Golden-haired Zombie, "Kill him."
"ROAR!"
The Golden-haired Zombie roared and immediately dashed towards Jiang Chen.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen knew he was no match for the Golden-haired Zombie. Without a second thought, he turned and plunged into the white mist.
"Damn that bastard! I can’t let him get the Ten Directions Calculation!"
Lin Ying roared angrily.
Signaling to all his men and all the Zombies, he also charged into the white mist.
Jiang Chen entered the white mist, and the environment changed.
A gloomy sky appeared before his eyes.
But, here, there were ten blood-red flowers, extremely vibrant.
"This is..."
When Jiang Chen saw these blood-red flowers, he trembled, shocked.
’Bloodfall Flowers... There are actually Bloodfall Flowers here!’
’Logically, the Bloodfall Flower shouldn’t exist in the Lower Realm.’
Yet Jiang Chen saw Bloodfall Flowers right here.
The Bloodfall Flower was useless to him, but it was useful to one person.
And that was Murong Xiangming.
’Murong Xiangming practices the Blood Butterfly Eighteen Transformations. If she eats these Bloodfall Flowers, her Cultivation will definitely soar.’
The Blood Butterfly Eighteen Transformations was a Cultivation Technique created by the Orchid Fairy, so of course Jiang Chen knew its secrets.
The Orchid Fairy herself used to cultivate Bloodfall Flowers to enhance the power of the Blood Butterfly Eighteen Transformations.
For someone practicing the Blood Butterfly Eighteen Transformations, eating a Bloodfall Flower would cause their Cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.
’Why are the Orchid Fairy’s Bloodfall Flowers here? Could she have planted them herself?’
’Did she come here sometime in the last thousand years?’
At that moment, Jiang Chen frowned.
’She came to the Lower Realm but didn’t find me, and she planted Bloodfall Flowers here instead.’
Jiang Chen glanced back. Lin Ying hadn’t followed him in yet.
He went over and picked a Bloodfall Flower.
He held it in his hand. The bloom was the size of his palm, and at that moment, he felt a deep sense of familiarity from the flower.
It was just... a bit strange for a Bloodfall Flower to be blooming inside a tomb.
"Jiang Chen..."
Just then, a voice called out.
Jiang Chen looked over at the sound, pleasantly surprised.
"Miss Murong, you’re here."
Indeed, it was Murong Xiangming, who had just appeared in the clearing where the Bloodfall Flowers bloomed.
Murong Xiangming greeted Jiang Chen, then said excitedly, "These are Bloodfall Flowers!"
"They’re actually Bloodfall Flowers."
Jiang Chen asked in surprise, "You recognize Bloodfall Flowers?"
Murong Xiangming nodded. "My Cultivation Technique, the Blood Butterfly Eighteen Transformations, is related to them. These Bloodfall Flowers can cause a massive leap in one’s Cultivation."
She couldn’t hide her sheer delight as she spoke.
Jiang Chen sized up Murong Xiangming again.
A suspicious look filled his face.
’But he knew that Murong Xiangming was, after all, Murong Xiangming—not the Orchid Fairy.’
He shook his head slightly.
’A lot can happen in a thousand years.’
’The Orchid Fairy’s Blood Butterfly Eighteen Transformations has even been passed down to this place.’
’He didn’t know the exact reason why.’
Still, Jiang Chen felt a certain fondness for Murong Xiangming. After all, anything and anyone related to the Orchid Fairy resonated with him.
"Since they can improve your Cultivation, you should pick them quickly."
Jiang Chen still didn’t see Lin Ying enter.
Murong Xiangming didn’t hesitate either.
The moment she saw the Bloodfall Flowers, she knew they would be of immense help to her.
She quickly picked the remaining nine Bloodfall Flowers.
She glanced at the one still in Jiang Chen’s hand.
But Murong Xiangming didn’t say anything.
"Here, this Bloodfall Flower is useless to me."
Jiang Chen actually really wanted to keep one Bloodfall Flower as a memento.
But considering how useful it was to Murong Xiangming, he held the Bloodfall Flower out to her.
"You keep it. These nine are enough for me."
Murong Xiangming didn’t take it.
She could see that Jiang Chen had a kind of fascination with the Bloodfall Flower.
She asked curiously, "Jiang Chen, it seems you really like Bloodfall Flowers."
"Is there a moving story behind it?"
Jiang Chen’s expression darkened.
This Bloodfall Flower was, after all, related to the Orchid Fairy.
But right now, he had no idea where the Orchid Fairy was.
’It’s all because my Cultivation is too low.’
"It’s related to the person I love," he said.
"Is that so?"
Murong Xiangming looked at Jiang Chen with great interest, her eyes sparkling.
"Can you tell me about it?"
Jiang Chen shook his head, not in the mood to talk about the Orchid Fairy.
"ROAR..."
Just then, a roar echoed.
The Golden-haired Zombie, Lin Ying, and his men charged in.
