Feng Fuce imdiately looked up, his gaze directed into the distance.
This was Bai Zhi’er’s voice.
His expression suddenly turned cold, and he let go of Guoguo, swiftly darting towards the direction of the sound.
Asura Envoy hurriedly asked, "Marquis, what about Guoguo?"
"Leave him." Feng Fuce dropped the chilling words, and his figure had already disappeared into the distance.
At this critical mont, he couldn’t care whether Guoguo ran or not.
Guoguo saw Asura Envoy also following Marquis Wan.
He bit his lower lip, clenched his fists tightly.
Should he take this chance to escape?
But Bai Zhi’er’s scream, could it be that she encountered a wild bear!
Yet if he didn’t leave now, he would miss this opportunity, and any future exposure of his identity would an greater danger.
Guoguo gritted his teeth.
Finally, he turned around, intending to run first and think later.
But just after taking a couple of steps, he turned back.
"Damn!" Guoguo cursed.
It was as if he hated his own reluctance.
All because of what Marquis Wan said, he couldn’t just run away like that.
Better check what happened to Bai Zhi’er first!
Bai Zhi’er had been scared by a mouse and chased it all the way, looking for Feng Fuce.
But, the little one couldn’t tell the direction, got lost while running through the forest.
She didn’t know what her small foot had stepped on, only felt a sudden emptiness underfoot and her little body fell downwards.
She followed a long passage, tumbling all the way until she eventually landed hard on the ground.
"Thud!" The little one didn’t get hurt in the fall.
She moved her arms and legs, using her little hands to prop herself up.
Bai Zhi’er first dusted off her skirt, then looked around: "Where is this place?"
The air carried a damp sll, and green moss grew on the surrounding walls.
The dim candles hanging on the walls still gave off light.
Bai Zhi’er looked up, realizing she had fallen from quite a height.
So, she didn’t rush to climb back up.
Instead, she walked forward along the long passage with her little feet.
Carvings adorned the walls, though they seed to have endured many years, showing extensive damage.
But, so figures could still be vaguely recognized.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her big eyes, scanning the carvings as she walked.
The first wall mural seed to depict a couple’s marriage.
Further on, the newly married husband found sothing out and argued with his wife.
Then, the wife was shut inside a coffin.
It seed that the husband’s relatives nailed peach wood nails into the four corners of the coffin.
For so reason, although Bai Zhi’er hadn’t been there in person, seeing the mural made her uncomfortably furrow her little brows.
"Hmm... the aura ahead also slls bad." she murmured.
The little one kept walking forward.
Until the path ahead was blocked by a heavy stone gate.
The stone gate was covered with all sorts of mysterious talismans.
Carved with vermillion, in the dim candlelight, exuding a sinister glow.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her eyes: "Huh? Evil Suppression Talisman?"
The little one initially thought to turn back, yet at this mont she heard a faint sound of crying from inside the gate.
It was a woman’s voice.
The cry was full of heartbreak and disappointnt.
Echoing in the empty passage.
Stirring feelings of pity and desolation within.
Bai Zhi’er wanted to listen more closely, yet as soon as her little hand touched the stone gate.
A "thud" echoed, and the stone gate surprisingly opened slowly by itself.
The sight before her made the little one’s eyes widen in surprise.
This was a deep cave.
In the center lay a redwood coffin.
Surrounding it, many red strings threaded with Copper Coins were tied to the cave walls.
Yellow talismans nearly covered the entire coffin, including its base.
