“Let me see if that Mrs. Lu is still there.”
Xu Taiping, who no longer had to maintain the Guiqiao Style, let out a long breath, and then looked out of the courtyard through the crack of the door again.
To his disappointment, that Mrs. Lu was still standing at the door.
And as if she had noticed Xu Taiping’s gaze, that Mrs. Lu also narrowed her eyes and smiled at him.
Although this Mrs. Lu had an extremely beautiful face, this smile of hers still made Xu Taiping’s hair stand on end, and he thought to himself:
“It seems that Miss Dongfang’s approach is the safest way.”
Although Xu Taiping had learned the Killing Life Saber that could restrain the Yin God, and also had Master Kasyapa as a great backer in the Barbaric Region, at the moment he was facing the Yin God, not an ordinary cultivator. As long as he made a single wrong move, he would no longer have a chance to fight back.
Therefore, he decided, as Dongfang Yuejian had proposed, to hold on for half an hour and wait for Mrs. Lu to leave.
And just as he was about to retract his gaze, he suddenly noticed that the weeds on the ground of the small courtyard were withering at a visible speed to the naked eye.
In the places where there were no growing weeds, the soil also began to become moist.
However, compared with the creepy smile of Madam Lu, these visions were simply nothing.
“It should be the change that occurred after the courtyard door was opened and affected by the power of that ghost servant.”
So after whispering a word, Xu Taiping was about to retract his gaze and take over from Dongfang Yuejian to block the cold air spreading from Madam Lu.
“Huh?”
But just as he retracted his gaze and was about to urge his true essence to draw the knife, the lotus pupil in his left eye suddenly became extremely hot.
Moreover, wisps of golden flames overflow uncontrollably from the corner of his eye.
After feeling the odd in his left eye, Xu Taiping covered his eye with his hand and asked in his heart:
“Lotus pupil, if you wake up, just stay well and don’t cause trouble at this time.”
Xu Taiping speculated that the lotus pupil should have woken up in advance.
Not long after, the voice of the lotus pupil really rang out in his mind —
“Xu Taiping, you’re about to become the food in the belly of that ghost servant. Why haven’t you noticed yet?”
The voice of the lotus pupil was very weak, and Xu Taiping could only barely hear it clearly.
Xu Taiping answered very puzzledly in his heart:
“We have clearly found the way to restrain that Mrs. Lu. Why would you say that?”
Lian Tong replied in a very weak tone:
“Use… Lian Tong… Look… Look at your feet!”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately let go of the hand that was pressing on Lian Tong and looked down at the ground.
At this look, Xu Taiping suddenly felt a moment of numbness in his scalp.
Because the ground under his feet was not the bluestone slab visible to the naked eye, but a fleshy wall is covered with with slippery mucus.
Looking at the top of the head and the west side, it was the same!
And the tables and chairs that were originally placed in this main room had now turned into each corpses soaked in mucus and being melted little by little.
At the same time, a stinky and rotten smell also rushed into his nasal cavity at this time.
Looking at these scenes in front of him, Xu Taiping, who had a numb scalp, muttered solemnly:
“Could it be… Could it be that we are currently in the stomach of some monster?”
The Xuanzhi mage on the side, after noticing the abnormality of Xu Taiping, immediately asked with concern:
“Brother Taiping, what’s wrong with you?”
Dongfang Yuejian, who was holding the Shiwu Umbrella, also cast afeel uncertaining gaze at Xu Taiping at this time.
Because Xu Taiping was worried that the two of them would be frightened and lose their composure, he did not tell the two of them what he saw at this moment, but waved his hand and said:
“Just now, I consumed too much True Yuan and felt a bit uncomfortable.”
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian immediately advised:
“Daoist Taiping, you should rest for a while. Don’t worry about me here. As long as there are lotus seeds, I can hold on.”
As she spoke, she took out another lotus seed and put it into her mouth.
Xu Taiping nodded and reluctantly squeezed out a smile on his face, saying:
“Then I’ll have to trouble Miss Dongfang for now.”
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
On the surface, he seemed to be circulating his cultivation to adjust his breath, but in fact, he was actually communicating with Liantong in his heart.
He asked Liantong:
“Liantong, is this thing a Yin God or a monster?”
Liantong replied:
“A Yin God.”
Liantong seemed to be gathering strength. After a moment of pause, she continued:
“This Yin God should have once combined with a certain cultivator, but because that cultivator failed to ascend, it eventually returned to the wild as a broken clone of a certain Yin God.
“I can’t explore what its original body was like. I only sensed the divine power that it is devouring you all.”
“Under this divine power, as long as the cultivator stays within its body, regardless of their cultivation level or combat power, they will merge with it within the time it takes to burn an incense stick.”
Xu Taiping frowned and said:
“My Killing Life Saber can’t kill it either?”
Liantong replied:
”As long as it’s in his stomach, not to mention the killing knife, even the monk’s purification spell won’t be able to harm him in the slightest.”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping furrowed his brows and muttered in his heart:
”Since I can’t kill him, then I can only escape or hide.”
When it came to escaping, the image of Mrs. Lu outside the courtyard immediately appeared in his mind. So he shook his head imperceptibly and thought in his heart, “The courtyard door is blocked by Mrs. Lu. If she doesn’t leave, I can’t escape.”
The way of escaping was blocked, so there was only hiding left.
So Xu Taiping opened his eyes and his gaze followed to look at the big black coffin, and he muttered in his heart:
”Lian Tong, this yin spirit should not be able to digest this coffin that suppresses demons, right?”
Although it’s a bit cramped, it’s still no problem to hold three people.
After a moment of silence, Lian Tong finally spoke:
”This coffin of yours indeed has the ability to resist the divine will. The three of you relying on it to avoid this disaster is no problem, but this is just a stopgap measure.”
When he said this, Lian Tong’s voice suddenly stopped abruptly.
Xu Taiping, who has dealt with Lian Tong for many years, immediately guessed Lian Tong’s little thoughts, so he directly asked:
The reason why he was not so polite to Lian Tong at first was because there has always been only a deal between them, no friendship.
Although very weak, after hearing Xu Taiping’s words, Liantong still couldn’t help but let out a smug “hehe” laugh and said:
“Very interesting. I like it.”
Then, after gathering strength for a while, Lian Tong continued to speak:
“Xu Taiping, don’t you think this is too much of a coincidence?”
As the saying goes, the onlooker sees most of the game.
With just one sentence, Lian Tong pointed out the inappropriateness of Xu Taiping and their current difficult situation.
Xu Taiping nodded imperceptibly, while murmuring in his heart:
“While we fell into the belly of this Yin God and were blocked by that Madam Lu at the same time, all this is indeed too coincidental, as if there is someone behind the scenes, forcibly gathering us here.”
But immediately, a new confusion arose in his heart——
“But who would do this, and who could do this?”
