Chapter 59 - There Was a Person

Yun Qin pushed the coffin lid with all her might, but the heavy stone lid did not budge at all.

She could not use her evil energy because the coffin would absorb it, so she could only rely on her strength to open this coffin.

Suddenly, Yun Qin had an idea. She split out a strand of her golden mana and tried to approach the stone coffin.

However, the coffin only absorbed the evil energy wrapped around her mana, not the mana itself.

It worked! Yun Qin was delighted and quickly used her evil energy to wrap her golden mana into a bundle.

However, it was difficult for her to use her mana to begin with. The evil energy used to control her mana was absorbed when it approached the coffin. Therefore, Yun Qin could only carefully divide her evil energy into smaller portions. Once the coffin absorbed the evil energy wrapped around her mana, she would replenish it with more evil energy to stabilize the shape of her mana.

Then, Yun Qin controlled her mana to poke into the crack on the stone lid, slowly prying it open.

Seeing that the stone lid was loosening, Yun Qin poured more evil energy and mana. A small crack appeared on the coffin lid and a blue light shone from inside.

A beast roar came from behind, followed by a beast ghost rushing straight towards the stone coffin.

It seemed that after she opened the coffin, whatever was inside agitated the beast ghosts, causing them to become crazier.

Just as Yun Qin was about to withdraw her mana to escape the beast ghost’s attack, the other beast ghost suddenly appeared, blocking the coffin. After taking the hit, the two beast ghosts started to fight again.

Yun Qin heaved a sigh of relief and tried her best to open the lid again. However, after opening a crack, the lid became more difficult to move. No matter how hard Yun Qin tried, the lid would not budge.

Even after gathering all the mana in her body to open the coffin, the lid still would not budge. Yun Qin was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat. She looked at the battle behind her again. One of the beast ghosts was already struggling. It no longer fought but fled in all directions as it dodged the other party’s attacks.

Yun Qin had no choice. She didn’t have any more mana to increase her strength. So, she could only peek through the small crack and look at the blue light inside.

What was in the coffin that was so attractive to ghosts?

Yun Qin cautiously approached the small crack and looked inside the coffin.

With one look, she was so shocked that she immediately withdrew her mana.

The stone coffin closed again. Yun Qin took a few steps back in disbelief and activated her ‘Insight’ ability.

In an instant, memory fragments of a person searching for ghosts and sucking evil energy appeared before her eyes. In the end, that person’s unwillingness and pain while on the verge of death lingered in her mind.

The owner of these memories was the corpse that was inside the coffin.

When Yun Qin peaked into the crack, she saw a person.

To be precise, it was a corpse that had been there for a long time but was not completely decomposed. It was a man, and she could still see his face.

This man was only about 30 years old when he died. He looked very young. The thing that was emitting a blue light was a small blue bead on his heart.

Looking back on his life, he was someone like Yun Qin who could absorb evil energy!

However, how could someone with such strong abilities die here for no reason and become a stone coffin that made ghosts go crazy?

Realizing that the dead person lying inside was someone similar to her, Yun Qin wanted to escape.

Hades told her that her duty was to clean up the evil energy in the world. As the messenger of Hades, she could not be killed easily unless an evil ghost sucked all of her evil energy away.

However, the way this person died did not seem like a ghost sucked away all of his evil energy. There was even a blue bead growing out of his body. This bead was the real culprit.

Then, what exactly was going on? Yun Qin even wanted to go to the underworld to ask Hades.

However, Hades was the one who summons her. She did not have the right to ask to see him. She could only wait to be summoned.

Just as Yun Qin let her guard down, the victor between the two beast ghosts emerged. The defeated beast ghosts vanished into thin air, and the last standing beast ghost already absorbed all the evil energy and became the “voodoo king”

This voodoo king had gathered evil energy from all the ghosts here and became incomparably ferocious. Evil ghosts that obtained their power by killing other ghosts would retain the same characteristics as the other party. The more ghosts they killed, the stranger they would become.

The stone statue ghost that Yun Qin saw in the middle of the pond at the Song family mansion killed other ghosts that were trapped in the soul-capturing formation array, which was why it had three heads and six arms.

And the voodoo king that killed all the other ghosts grew fangs, long tentacles, a tongue, and a tail full of spikes. It looked as strange as it could be.

However, the beast ghost’s final target was not the stone coffin, but rather Yun Qin, who had the most amount of evil energy in the vicinity of the coffin..
