320: The aura of resentment and venom—its power is terrifying.

After this stone was pried off, the blood-red symbols on the wall seemed to lose their support and instantly dissipated, returning to their original appearance.

The architectural complex returned to its empty and desolate state once again; aside from those skeletons, there wasn't even a ghost of a shadow left.

This place was too eerie and terrifying, so the two of them hurriedly retreated from there.

When they returned along the same path to that narrow and dark Passage, they found that at the end of the Passage was actually an iron door, covered in rust and overgrown with moss.

Ye Bai intended to knock on the iron door, but he was stopped by Yang Mi.

"Don't knock! What if there's a mechanism?" Yang Mi dissuaded Ye Bai.

Ye Bai smiled and said, "This door is covered in rust; it clearly hasn't been used in a long time. How could there be a mechanism? Besides, where in the world would there be Mechanism Arts?"

He pushed open the iron door and poked his head inside to take a look, instantly becoming stunned.

On the other side of the iron door was actually a vast, empty flat ground, and at the very front of the flat ground sat a massive outer coffin!

This outer coffin was several meters high and pitch-black all over.

The coffin lid had already been pushed halfway open, revealing the cold corpse inside.

Ye Bai and Yang Mi looked at each other in dismay.

"This place is actually a tomb?" Yang Mi's eyes widened in immense shock.

"Who is lying inside?"

Yang Mi hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached that pitch-black coffin.

Just as she was about to reach out and touch the coffin, the coffin suddenly shook violently, and then the coffin board slammed shut with a bang!

Yang Mi screamed in terror and hugged Ye Bai tightly.

Ye Bai's expression was serious as he scanned the surroundings alertly, slowly backing away a certain distance to ensure their safety.

Their current position was a blind spot, just out of the outer coffin's line of sight. However, he still didn't dare to be careless, in case the outer coffin exerted its power again and launched a fatal attack directly at them.

Ye Bai pulled Yang Mi back five or six meters, then crouched down and slowly moved backward along the base of the wall.

They only stopped once they were about seven or eight meters away from the outer coffin.

Just then, a faint cracking sound suddenly rang out!

Ye Bai and Yang Mi both shuddered simultaneously.

They looked toward the sound and saw a pale, withered hand reaching out from inside the coffin, grabbing the coffin board in an attempt to lift it open.

The owner of this hand was none other than the rotting Female Corpse they had just killed!

"This... this corpse is still alive!" Yang Mi was terrified, her legs turning weak.

"Shh, don't speak." Ye Bai covered her mouth.

"Mmm, mmm..." Yang Mi struggled a few times, trying to break free from Ye Bai's control.

Unfortunately, her strength was too small; she simply couldn't break free from Ye Bai.

After muffling her mouth, Ye Bai leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I have a way to deal with her!"

Hearing Ye Bai's assurance, Yang Mi gradually calmed down and looked at Ye Bai with her large, watery eyes full of expectation.

Ye Bai took a deep breath; he pulled out his silver needle box and took out one of the Filiform Needles.

He held his breath and focused his attention, staring intently at the stiff Female Corpse.

At this critical moment, he suddenly made his move!

Whoosh!

The Filiform Needle shot out, accurately piercing into the Female Corpse's chest!

The Filiform Needle sank into the surface of her skin, and blood gushed out.

Right then, Ye Bai quickly withdrew the Filiform Needle and threw it at Yang Mi's feet.

"Ah!" Yang Mi let out a panicked cry.

Ye Bai remained silent, continuing to stare at the Female Corpse, looking for an opportunity.

The Female Corpse's body swayed slightly, as if she had lost her ability to move.

Strike while the enemy is weak!

Ye Bai's eyes turned cold as he suddenly lunged forward, shattering the outer coffin lid with a palm strike and dragging the corpse inside out!

"Ah!"

Once the corpse was removed from the outer coffin, it fell flat on its back on the ground, its head hitting the floor tiles with a dull thud.

"Although this corpse's Corpse Poison is quite potent, I have a bottle of Detoxification Agent on me, which should be able to suppress it." After saying this, Ye Bai walked quickly toward the Female Corpse and took out the bottle of Detoxification Agent to spray on her.

The effect of the Detoxification Agent was very significant; in just one minute, the Female Corpse gradually stopped its corpse transformation.

Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief and then wrapped her in a coat.

"Alright, we can leave now." He patted Yang Mi's shoulder and said.

"Mhm, I'll listen to you." Yang Mi nodded and followed Ye Bai out of there.

The two returned along the same path and walked out of the enclosed cave again.

By now, it was broad daylight; sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and fell onto the ground, forming dappled patterns.

They finally returned to the surface, breathing the morning air.

"It really was a nightmare." Yang Mi let out a long sigh, her mood much more relaxed, but she soon noticed that Ye Bai's expression seemed a bit off.

She hurriedly asked, "Ye Bai, what's wrong?"

Ye Bai shook his head with a bitter smile. "This trip to the Ancient Tomb has yielded quite a harvest."

"Oh? Did you find some treasure?" Yang Mi blinked her beautiful eyes.

"Indeed. I've already checked; the entire Tomb Chamber is filled with a pale yellow misty vapor. That gas contains a lethal poison—just one drop is fatal. I suspect this is the Malice Poison Qi carried by that ancient corpse."

"Ah? So malicious?" Yang Mi was startled. "Then let's leave quickly."

"Don't rush," Ye Bai said with a smile. "This miasma is indeed a life-or-death matter for ordinary people. But for me, there is no danger."

Ye Bai possessed a Hundred Years of Cultivation and had a very strong immunity to miasma.

Nowadays, he could completely achieve Inedia, abstaining from worldly food, and could even isolate himself from water sources.

His strength had long since reached an extraordinary and refined realm!

"Let's go, let's leave this godforsaken place first."

Saying this, Ye Bai pulled Yang Mi and sprinted back along the way they came.

"Wow! There seems to be a Temple over there!" Yang Mi said in surprise.

Looking in the direction Yang Mi pointed, an ancient and weathered Temple sat nestled among the surrounding mountains, looking like a sacred land of immortals, ethereal and illusory.

"It's strange that there's actually a Temple in this Ancient Tomb," Ye Bai muttered. "Regardless of whether that Temple is useful or not, let's go take a look anyway; maybe we can find something good."

"Okay, okay!" Yang Mi said excitedly.

The two quickened their pace and ran toward the Temple.

The further forward they ran, the more eerie and terrifying they felt it became.

The temperature here plummeted, and the air was damp and thick, making one feel suffocated.

Suddenly, Ye Bai stopped in his tracks.

He looked sharply toward the right.

The grass there was wriggling slightly; something was lurking, waiting for an opportunity to strike!

Whoosh!

In the next moment, a black shadow suddenly lunged out, pouncing toward Ye Bai to bite him.

Ye Bai snorted coldly and threw a punch, slamming it heavily onto the black shadow's head!
