Chapter 100: Profound Purification Technique

Chen Yu jumped from the hole under the stone altar. The cave was about two stories high, but the space inside was narrower and only about 30 square meters.

Silver-white moonlight shone in from the cave overhead, becoming the only source of light in the room. Chen Yu turned on the flashlight of her phone and carefully surveyed the surroundings.

This was a sealed stone chamber. The cave overhead seemed to be the only entrance. Some patterns were carved on the walls. However, Chen Yu didn’t examine them carefully. Her eyes have been searching around for the place where the spiritual artifact might have been stored.

“Where exactly is the spiritual artifact?” Chen Yu couldn’t help but grumble. The stone chamber was empty without even a chair or stool, let alone a spiritual artifact.

Chen Yu searched back and forth three to four times, but still did not find anything extra in the stone chamber. She used her spiritual power to search for it, but still did not detect any spiritual artifact or zombie or something. It was as if the stone chamber was nothing but an ordinary stone room.

“Qin Guanhai said he sensed a magic artifact here, then there should be no mistake, ah!” Chen Yu stood in the middle of the stone chamber, wondering whether there was something she missed. However, she could sweep a glance at the empty chamber and couldn’t find any deliberate hiding place, except for those patterns on the walls…

“Patterns?” Chen Yu turned around with a whoosh. She ran to the left hand side of the wall with the most patterns.

On the wall was a painting of a Celestial Master beheading demons, which included a malevolent ghost, a Ghost King, a zombie and a drought demon. Except for the drought demon, Chen Yu had seen all the others in the flesh, but not nearly as ominous as the mural.

Chen Yu carefully studied the mural from one end to end, but still did not find any useful clues.

“Where the hell is it?” Chen Yu’s emotions turned from frustration to irritability. She almost stomped her feet in anxiousness. The artifact was clearly underneath, but she couldn’t find it.

“Could it be behind the wall?” There was no door inside the stone chamber, so Chen Yu could only reasonably suspect that there should be room next door. She just hadn’t found the entrance.

Chen Yu regained her composure and touched the wall with her palm, not missing every stripe on it, trying to find the entrance crevice on it.

“Ka-ching.”

A spot that her palm touched suddenly sank. Chen Yu’s eyes lit up, Found it.

……

Chen Yu, who thought she had touched the mechanism, waited for a long time, but there was no more movement in the stone chamber other than that click.

“Isn’t this the mechanism?” Chen Yu drew back her hand and carefully used her flashlight to the place she had just touched. The stone there had already sunken in, revealing an empty hole above. It was the same entrance as the one she saw in the cave when the Old Man brought her into the Luoshan Sect.

Is it the same as in the cave?

Chen Yu suddenly remembered what Elder Wu had said to her: “If the switch at the entrance isn’t opened with the unique spiritual power of the Luoshan Sect, the door will not open.”

Right, she didn’t inject any spiritual power just now.

Now that she figured it out, she placed her hand in again, and then injected spiritual power.

“Rumble…”

There was no surprise this time. A rumble sounded behind her, and when she turned around, she saw that the wall opposite her, the one painted with the drought demon, revealed a one-meter wide entrance with a faint bright light inside.

Chen Yu was delighted and hurriedly sprinted toward it. However, the moment her foot crossed the boundary of the stone door, the three magic artifacts on her body trembled at the same time. Chen Yu froze and instinctively stepped back, as a gust of wind coated in evil qi Qi puffed in her face.

“Graaah!”

“Zombie!” Chen Yu exclaimed.

When the zombie saw that Chen Yu dodged his first blow, he followed it with another. Chen Yu waved her hand in time to stop it, but the zombie’s formidable strength blew her away.

The light in the room was so dark that Chen Yu could hardly see the zombie, but she could tell that this was definitely the most agile zombie she had encountered in 18 years.

“Schwa!!”

A seven-colored spiritual light suddenly burst out, illuminating the dark stone chamber and allowing Chen Yu to have a clear picture of the zombie’s appearance. The zombie was about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a black armor. The style of armor seemed to be very special, dark and shiny. Except for some dust, there was no sign of rust on it. But this was not the point. The issue was that the zombie was carrying a spear on his back.

This zombie even has a weapon?

“Graaah! Graaah!”

Sensing that Chen Yu was in danger, the Green Spirit Hairpin flew out on its own. The seven-colored spiritual light temporarily slowed down the zombie’s attack, but did not drive him into retreat.

Chen Yu had no time to think. She crawled up nimbly from the ground, while fishing out the Soul Summoning Bell and the compass of her pocket. The bell flew into the air, divided into three, interconnected, transformed into a huge bell, and surrounded the zombie.

“Graaah!”  The moment the bell surrounded the zombie, he roared in anger. He pulled out the spear on its back, and then frantically thrusted it in an attempt to cut the bell’s shackles.

“Jing-ding-ding… Jing-ding-ding…”

With each zombie attack, the Soul Summoning Bell above her head jingled non-stop. Chen Yu feared that the zombie would break the bell’s seal, so she raised her hand and sacrificed the compass.
