Chapter 121: Burial Master Xue Li

Chapter 121: Burial Master Xue Li

Yang Haoran had assumed that the reason the stone chamber hadn't collapsed was due to the dense array of enchantments and the special materials used for the chamber. However, he hadn't anticipated that all of this was simply because Xu Meijing had intentionally controlled the force.

Was it that Xu Meijing's strength was even more terrifying than he had imagined, or was it that the enchantments within the stone chamber were weaker than Xu Meijing claimed? At this moment, he truly couldn't discern.

Just as Yang Haoran was still astonished by Xu Meijing's words, a surprised voice came from Xu Meijing's mouth.

"Huh? Isn't this our Yin Division's soul gathering bead?"

These words caused a slight change in Yang Haoran's expression. Without lingering outside the stone chamber, he stepped inside.

With no enchantments present, upon entering the stone chamber, Yang Haoran didn't feel any discomfort. However, he remained extremely vigilant.

Arriving by Xu Meijing's side, he followed her gaze and indeed found a bead beside the mummified corpse.

Perhaps outsiders wouldn't recognize this bead, or they might mistake it due to unfamiliarity, but Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing, as members of the Yin Division, couldn't possibly mistake it.

Xu Meijing was right. Beside this mummified corpse was indeed a soul gathering bead.

However, neither Xu Meijing nor Yang Haoran concluded that the other was a member of the Yin Division just because of a soul gathering bead. After all, to them, the soul gathering bead wasn't a particularly rare item. Obtaining it wouldn't be too difficult for outsiders either.

Yang Haoran activated his ghost eye, attempting to discern something from this mummified corpse, but to his disappointment, at the moment, it was just an ordinary mummified corpse. He didn't make any discoveries.

"Heh, things are getting more interesting. Even our Yin Division's soul gathering bead is here."

Xu Meijing chuckled, then without any apparent action, the killing aura in her hand transformed into a mass of Yin Qi, merging into her body. The terrifying aura emanating from her also subsided with the disappearance of the soul weapon, returning to its usual state.

Yang Haoran specifically sensed it and could no longer detect that terrifying power from before. It was as if it had never appeared. At this moment, Xu Meijing felt no different from usual to him. Although the power fluctuations emanating from her body were much stronger than before, compared to when she had opened her soul, the difference was like night and day.

No wonder Master Zhou had capsized in her hands, hiding so deeply. Even if the boat had capsized, even if the boat ran faster on land than a car, he wouldn't find it strange.

After retracting the soul weapon, Xu Meijing beckoned to the soul gathering bead beside the mummified corpse, and it floated up on its own, hovering in front of her.

Inside the soul gathering bead, soul threads swam, in addition to several clusters of Soul Qi. The soul threads and Soul Qi filled the entire soul gathering bead.

The soul threads were transformed from undead, while those clusters of Soul Qi were truly transformed from evil spirits. However, this Soul Qi was not the pure Yin Qi found in Night Watch Soul Qi. It was just a form taken by the evil spirits after being contained in the soul gathering bead.

"With so many undead and even a few evil spirits, the person who died here might not necessarily be from our Yin Division," Xu Meijing said, looking at the soul gathering bead in front of her, smiling.

"It's also possible that he stole this soul gathering bead," Yang Haoran expressed his opinion.

"Who is he?" Xu Meijing glanced at the mummified corpse in front of her and then asked the undead.

"He's called Xue Li. He's the one who killed me and sealed my soul inside the soul gathering bead," the undead said, its eyes filled with deep hatred when mentioning Xue Li. If it weren't for its fear of Xu Meijing, it would have gone berserk again.

"He killed you and sealed you inside the soul gathering bead?" Yang Haoran frowned. If the undead wasn't lying, then the soul gathering bead floating in front of Xu Meijing was indeed owned by this Xue Li. And if Xue Li had the ability to seal undead inside the soul gathering bead, then it was highly likely that he was indeed a member of the Yin Division.

However, what surprised him was why this mummified corpse Xue Li would kill this undead in front of him and then seal its soul inside the soul gathering bead.

"Do you have a grudge against him?" Yang Haoran asked, expressing his doubts.

"No grudge. I didn't even know him before. Not only did he kill me, but the nine layers of undead inside this soul gathering bead also died at his hands. Those powerful evil spirits were also cultivated by him."

The undead's words were shocking. Not only was Yang Haoran startled by them, but Xu Meijing couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression on her face as well.

"Are you kidding us?" Yang Haoran's expression changed. He felt the credibility of the undead's words was low.

If Xue Li was indeed a member of the Yin Division, it wouldn't be difficult for him to eliminate an ordinary person using his abilities. If there was an irreconcilable hatred between them, it wasn't impossible for him to kill. He had done similar things before.

Although Wang Qing's death wasn't directly caused by him, it was related to him. At that time, he had just become a Night Watch, and he dared to do such things. There was nothing surprising if Xue Li did the same.

However, there were countless soul threads inside the soul gathering bead, and there were even several powerful evil spirits. If all of this was done by Xue Li, Yang Haoran couldn't believe it.

The duty of an Underworld Envoy was to guide the undead, eliminate malevolent spirits, prevent various kinds of death spirits from disrupting the mortal world, and arbitrarily killing living people, as well as raising evil spirits. Such behavior was not only disrupting the order of the mortal world but also tarnishing the reputation of the Yin Division. Once this matter was exposed, the consequences would be severe.

Although Yang Haoran wasn't Xue Li, he was also a member of the Yin Division. Standing from his standpoint, he really didn't want to believe the words of the undead before him.

Seeing Yang Haoran's doubt and his unsightly expression, the undead panicked and hurriedly explained, "It's true! Everything I said is true! Xue Li is just a lunatic! He takes advantage of being the Yin Division's burial master to wreak havoc here in Lecheng! After dark, it's supposed to be the world of the undead, but during his time in Lecheng, after dark, it's no longer the world of the undead, but rather his playground as the Underworld Envoy!"

"What did you just say? Xue Li is the burial master? Or the burial master of Lecheng?" Yang Haoran's shock intensified even more. However, as soon as his words fell, Xu Meijing, who had been frowning in thought, suddenly changed her expression. She looked sharply at the undead in front of her, startling it!

"You just said his name is Xue Li?" Xu Meijing asked sternly.

The undead was frightened and dared not speak. The slap Xu Meijing had given him just now had left a deep impression. It just nodded in fear, not daring to say anything.

"Xue Li... Xue Li... why does this name sound so familiar? So it's him! I never thought he would die here!"
