ness!"Xiao Yu held Yun Xi with one hand while pointing at the sky, loudly declaring.Upon hearing Xiao Yu's vow, Yun Xi quickly covered his mouth with her hand, but Xiao Yu had already finished speakin...Chapter 456: Opening the Third Eye (Part 2)
After Xiao Yu told her the incantation, Dai Yuxin started chanting it silently in her mind. She repeated it over and over again but saw no effect at all. When she realized that nothing was happening regardless of how many times she chanted the secret spell, she looked up at Xiao Yu with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Yu naturally noticed her confusion and said, "Pay attention to how I chant the incantation." He then repeated the secret spell aloud, this time speaking it very slowly so that Dai Yuxin could hear clearly.
Dai Yuxin listened carefully as Xiao Yu chanted the secret spell. After he finished, she mentally replayed his chanting and silently recited the words in her mind.
Suddenly, when Dai Yuxin recalled how Xiao Yu had chanted the secret spell and began to chant it herself, she heard not only the sound of the incantation reverberating inside her head but also felt as if she were actually chanting aloud. This gave her a sense of solemnity and vastness.
When the sound in her mind reached its end, she recalled Xiao Yu's instructions and shouted inwardly once more: "Open!"
As soon as these words echoed in her mind, something at the center of her forehead seemed to crack open slowly. Dai Yuxin suddenly felt a burning sensation in her eyes; upon feeling this heat, she quickly shut them.
When the burning sensation had subsided and she reopened her eyes, everything around her appeared completely different from before. She gazed about and saw that what was once a refreshing and dry space now contained swirling black mists.
The large coffin in the center of the tomb chamber seemed to appear and disappear amidst this mist, looking elegant yet mysterious. The blue bricks on the walls around her also appeared and disappeared within the haze, revealing their weathered state.
Dai Yuxin turned to look at Xiao Yu; he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with black mists that swirled everywhere seeming to avoid him as they passed by. She distinctly remembered that when she first arrived in this underground space it had been dark but not misty—now it was filled with black fog. This made Dai Yuxin's heart tighten slightly.
Xiao Yu saw that there were no signs of fear in Dai Yuxin’s eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Yuxin, did you want to see the appearance of a ghost Well, they are actually here and there are quite a few! Still want to see them If it scares you, forget it. Wait until your courage builds up more and we'll take another look!"
"Uh. Master, are they really here I can't see them."
Dai Yuxin, although she claimed to be fearless, felt a chill run down her spine when Xiao Yu mentioned the ghosts in this place.
Dai Yuxin cautiously looked around; after all, being a teenage girl who had never seen a ghost before, it would have been strange if she wasn’t scared at all.
Seeing Dai Yuxin's reaction, Xiao Yu inwardly chuckled and said, "Earth ghosts, water spirits, come out!"
The moment Xiao Yu finished speaking, dozens of black mists seeped out from the gathering umbrella above the coffin. These mists gradually formed into clusters at the top of the tomb chamber, soon turning into dark shadows.
As these black mists slowly rose up, a small white rat darted onto Xiao Yu's shoulder. Although this little rat had become enlightened and knew that these spirits wouldn’t harm it, instinctively, when the spirits appeared, it sought out what it considered to be a safe spot.
Dai Yuxin just caught sight of this white shadow earlier and recognized it as the small rat. Seeing the rat look over at her, she let out a sharp scream; however, when she saw Xiao Yu's shoulder being approached by the little rat rubbing against his face, her scream suddenly stopped.
These dark shadows flickered within the black mists, dozens of armored warriors surrounding four human figures. Two dark figures stood in the middle, while two emerging from the black mist were a large man clad in general's armor and another wearing white robes.
Dai Yuxin watched in astonishment; if this place wasn’t shrouded by black mists but instead covered with white or colorful clouds, these flickering figures would seem like celestial generals.
"Gagh gagh gagh..."
Unexpectedly, the shadows within the dark mists suddenly let out a series of eerie cackles. With laughter ringing out, the two young human figures and the one wearing general's armor abruptly pulled their heads off with a sudden motion.
The trio instantly became headless figures; yet, their severed heads were still laughing in their hands. The shadowy figures weren’t done here — they extended another hand into their own eyes, immediately turning them into two black holes.
When they pulled their hands back out, two red lines trickled down from these black holes, making the trio's ghostly faces appear particularly terrifying in the contrasting colors.
Dai Yuxin’s originally excited expression turned pale; she kept swallowing repeatedly as if holding back something, but even so, the three ghosts showed no signs of stopping their strange actions.
The three ghosts did not look at the black holes and red lines in their hands, instead they opened their mouths and with one hand reached inside to pull out their tongues viciously. Immediately, their tongues were pulled out over a foot long, hanging limply by their mouths.
Seeing this scene, Dai Yuxin could no longer hold back; she stood up from where she was kneeling on the ground and ran towards a corner of the crypt to vomit violently.
Xiao Yu looked at Dai Yuxin as she returned after vomiting and nodded. It had been Xiao Yu who instructed the earth ghosts to do this earlier, so that she would be constantly wary of spirits out of fear and not suffer unexpected setbacks.
When Dai Yuxin returned, she squinted her eyes up at the sky although avoiding looking directly at it. Her face was extremely pale.
At this moment, recalling earlier events made her heart tremble. Although Dai Yuxin had a bold character, she was still just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl; when had she ever seen such things If Xiao Yu hadn’t been calmly sitting there, she probably would have been too frightened to walk properly already; even now her legs were trembling slightly.
Xiao Yu looked at Dai Yuxin standing not far from him and silently nodded. Although the girl was pale with a shaking body after vomiting, compared to others, Xiao Yu thought her reaction had been decent, which made him rather satisfied.
Such a scene would likely scare an ordinary man senseless, but here was Dai Yuxin; how could she not be scared
"Now do you know what ghosts look like Do you still want to see" Xiao Yu looked at Dai Yuxin. Although he felt satisfied with her reaction internally, externally his expression remained serious as he asked.
After hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Dai Yuxin lowered her head and thought for a moment before raising it again. Determination flashed in her eyes: "Yes!"
"Mm." Hearing Dai Yuxin's determined answer, Xiao Yu’s expression shifted slightly, then he nodded to her.
Although Dai Yuxin couldn’t say she wasn’t afraid at this moment, there was also a trace of excitement in her heart. She suddenly turned around and looked up at the sky with determination in her eyes.
Xiao Yu watched as Dai Yuxin turned around. Although his expression remained unchanged on the surface, he felt somewhat excited inside. Usually, even if Xiao Yu saw billions of dollars before him, it wouldn’t affect him much emotionally; however now there was a sense of excitement in him.
At this point, Xiao Yu could say that he was very satisfied with Dai Yuxin: she had good cultivation constitution and boldness, as well as firm beliefs. The more he thought about these qualities, the happier he became.
Dai Yuxin raised her eyes to look into the sky. When she saw the ghosts standing ahead, she was instantly stunned.
At this moment, where were the terrifying appearances of the ghosts in the air They were now floating properly within the black mist in mid-air. Apart from their faces being a bit pale, they looked no different from ordinary people to her eyes.
"Come here, I'll introduce you!" Xiao Yu waved his hand at the earth ghost and the others in the sky.
Seeing Xiao Yu's gesture, the earth ghost and the others responded and floated over toward Xiao Yu.
When the earth ghost and the others landed beside Xiao Yu and Dai Yuxin, the earth ghost and water ghost gave Dai Yuxin a surprised glance, while the rest felt an aura of yin qi. Although this aura was very faint, it still made them feel a bit apprehensive.
Then, Xiao Yu introduced both parties to each other. When Dai Yuxin saw that these ghosts were all under Xiao Yu's command, she couldn't help but look at him with new eyes; she never imagined that Xiao Yu had so many ghosts in his service.
The earth ghost and the water ghost looked even more surprised when they heard Xiao Yu's introduction. They also learned about Dai Yuxin's situation from Xiao Yu. They didn’t expect her to have pure yin qi of the netherworld inside her body, no wonder she had given off a familiar aura of yin qi when they approached.
However, they hadn't been back to the netherworld for over a thousand years, so at first, they didn’t think about it being the yin qi of the netherworld.
The ghost soldiers who had never been to the netherworld felt an oppressive sensation from the netherworld's yin qi. However, for earth and water ghosts, this feeling was somewhat familiar, and a large amount of yin qi would be beneficial for their physical recovery.
"Hahaha..." The earth ghost and water ghost looked at Dai Yuxin and suddenly burst out laughing.
Xiao Yu looked at the two ghosts with surprise. He didn't know why they were laughing, so he raised his eyes to look at them. The earth ghost and water ghost only noticed Xiao Yu looking at them after their laughter subsided.
"What's going on" Xiao Yu asked the two ghosts curiously.(To be continued...) three years since then; your souls are almost completely merged with your new bodies. If you don’t switch back now, it will be too late."Seeing the woman’s frightened look, Xiao Yu realized her fear...
