After explaining to Zhuge Tian a little to calm him down, Shen Yu finally decided to get on work. He stood beside his crimson red throne and looked at the coffin hovering above the well of bones.
His eyes turned soft as he muttered.
"Release them all."
[Roger. I'll cleanse them of their corruption and make sure they got in a good world.]
Instantly, the murial began trembling as if hit by a high intensity earthquake. But the two powerful man didn't even budge from their position. A relived expression was on their faces as they looked at the walls of murial.
Runes began to lit up from the walls, ceiling, and ground. Wherever eyes could see, only glowing Runes on Golden surface were there.
One by one, they began to dim as if their energy was being drained, which was actually happening. The main Rune Formation was the Reaper Soul Sealing Rune Formation which worked solely on the million souls sealed within it, working as an endless fuel.
As the souls within it were cleansed and sent for reincarnation, the Rune Formation began to lose it's efficiency and slowly weakened.
The Murial continued to shudder for a few minutes, as Nancy took her time to give each soul a good destination after a thorough cleansing. It was her Master's orders so how could she relax here?
Shen Yu also covered the murial with his Qi so that it didn't affect the real world and kept a close eye on the coffin.
A exhausted sigh left Zhuge Tian'a mouth, as he felt the guilt burdening his heart getting less heavy. He felt must better knowing that the people who sacrificed themselves were now free.
However, there was an even greater headache because of that. No matter how much Shen Yu consoled him, his heart wouldn't stop worrying.
That being had almost destroyed the whole world back then and they were setting it free again. He just hoped everything Shen Yu said was true.
Finally, the murial returned to it's silence again, but the glow in golden walls had clearly dimmed. It wasn't as lustrous as before.
Shen Yu took a deep breath and raised his hand, controlling the space around the coffin. Slowly, he opened the coffin, his heart racing rapidly. The golden chains rattled against each other, producing a strange sound in the silence atmosphere.
However, even when he opened it, nothing happened. He expected a lot of things, like some harrowing being coming out to eat them, or maybe a miasma flowing out.
But nothing? Now, that was unexpected.
"So, this is the being you spoke of?"
Zhuge Tian hurriedly shook his head and said.
"No! No! This is not it. I can swear. Even the presence is different. Heck! That being didn't even knew what is sleep!"
He immediately held his head as blood oozed out from his nostrils. Then, he felt a warm current passing through his body and knew Shen Yu had helped him.
Giving him a thankful nod, Zhuge Tian said.
"I can assure you this is not the being we sealed. It's impossible."
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes and asked, looking at the sleeping woman.
'Did you find anything?'
[Yup, very interesting things actually.]
'Then do tell. Why are you waiting?'
[Hehe, just to give that suspense mood.]
Shen Yu was rendered speechless, as the resolve to spank Nancy's butts began to grow inside him. She really needed to be punished.
[Hehe. Coming back on the topic, this woman is not the one that oldy sealed. I'm hundred percent sure of that.]
'That is troublesome.'
Shen Yu frowned. If the being wasn't sealed here, then it meant it was free. But from Zhuge Tian told him, the being wanted to consume whole world, then why didn't it do till now?
It was free, after all.
[It's because even though that fucker wasn't sealed. It was affected by the seal. And that weakened it a lot. If I'm guessing it right then it probably recieved a heavy soul injury so even if it wanted to devour the world, it couldn't.]
