353: Expeditionary team? Come and see if you're up to the task.
The Live Stream Room was currently in an uproar.
"My god, Great God Ye is too fierce, that Seven Treasure Umbrella is simply a divine artifact!"
"I've heard of this Netherworld Orchestra. They say if you're confused by their music, your soul will be trapped there forever. Great God Ye must be careful!"
"I feel like this Ancient Tomb is getting more and more wicked. Will Mi Mi and Meng Ziyi be in danger? My heart aches for them."
Ye Bai looked at the surrounding Yin Souls, his brows furrowed: "Don't worry about the resentment for now. We have to find a way to break this Netherworld Orchestra, otherwise we'll all be trapped here."
He looked around, trying to find a flaw in the Netherworld Orchestra.
Suddenly, he noticed some strange patterns on the walls of the Tomb Chamber. These patterns looked like ancient runes, appearing and disappearing in the mist.
"Look at those runes. They might be related to the Netherworld Orchestra," Ye Bai said, pointing at the wall.
Meng Ziyi looked in the direction Ye Bai was pointing.
"These runes look so mysterious. Could they be the way to restrain these Yin Souls?"
Ye Bai approached the wall, carefully observing the runes while searching his mind for relevant information he had heard from folk Ghost stories in the past.
"I remember a saying that these runes might be an ancient sealing technique. If we can find a way to activate them, perhaps we can seal these Yin Souls."
While Ye Bai was studying the runes, Yang Mi seemed to have recovered some strength in the corner.
"Ye Bai, I have an Ancient Book here that I picked up in another Tomb Chamber earlier. Maybe there are records about these runes in it."
Yang Mi ran over, took the Ancient Book, and handed it to Ye Bai.
Ye Bai opened the Ancient Book. The writing on it was obscure and difficult to understand, but with his extensive knowledge, he still found some clues.
"The Ancient Book says that blood is needed to activate the runes, and it must be done under a specific musical rhythm," Ye Bai said.
"Then what should we do? We can't listen to the Netherworld Orchestra's music, so how do we know the rhythm?" Meng Ziyi asked anxiously.
Ye Bai pondered for a moment: "I have a way. I can use the light of the Seven Treasure Umbrella to perceive the changes in the musical rhythm. You guys cover me from the side."
In the Live Stream Room, viewers were offering suggestions to Ye Bai one after another.
"Go for it, Great God Ye! You must stay safe."
"This method feels very dangerous. If even one thing goes wrong, it's over."
"Is Great God Ye not afraid of death?"
... "Are you ready?" Ye Bai closed the Seven Treasure Umbrella, gripped the handle, and scanned the entire Tomb Chamber.
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi stood to his left and right.
Ye Bai raised the Seven Treasure Umbrella, aimed it at the wall, and chanted: "The fundamental source of all Qi in the universe, proving my body through billions of kalpas of cultivation, three generations under one roof finally becoming Buddha—"
As his voice rang out, he exerted sudden force with both arms: "Seven Treasures Demon-Subduing Incantation!"
In an instant, the light of the Seven Treasure Umbrella exploded forth, illuminating the entire Tomb Chamber.
The Yin Souls originally floating in the air were deterred by the intense, blinding light. They all stopped their movements and floated sluggishly in mid-air.
At the same time, Ye Bai quickly shifted his rhythm, chanting: "The Nine-Bend Yellow Springs Road, the eighteen levels of Hell are deep."
The light of the Seven Treasure Umbrella enveloped those Yin Souls, and they immediately let out continuous screams of extreme agony.
Although these Ghosts had little intelligence, they were after all the deceased who had suffered much torture in life and had long since lost their humanity.
When Ye Bai used the light of the Seven Treasure Umbrella to purify them, they could only accept their fated punishment.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ye Bai let out a long breath, his forehead already covered in sweat. He retracted the Seven Treasure Umbrella, having completely eliminated the Netherworld Orchestra.
The Live Stream Room boiled over once again.
"Incredible, Ye Bai!"
"666666, he actually eliminated so many Yin Souls."
"Streamer, I've decided to follow you!"
"Ye Bai is awesome!"
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi also breathed a sigh of relief, their faces pale, clearly having been terrified just now.
Ye Bai wiped away his cold sweat: "Alright, rest up quickly. There are other tasks later."
Ye Bai led Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi out of the Tomb Chamber and into the Tomb Passage.
This Passage was very spacious, with various totems painted on the stone walls on both sides, full of eeriness.
Suddenly, the sound of fighting came from ahead.
Ye Bai stepped forward and saw several strange men and women.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" he asked, blocking the way ahead.
When those men and women saw Ye Bai, they were stunned for a moment.
"Who are you?" he asked again.
"We are members of the Huaxia Expedition Team, ordered to find the treasures of the Huaxia nation," said the young man in the lead.
"Oh~ carry on then. I'm just passing through. Sorry for the interruption." Ye Bai said and prepared to leave.
"Stop!" the leading youth shouted. "Are you in some kind of trouble?"
Ye Bai stopped and turned around with a smile: "Brother, are you trying to help me?"
"Yes." He nodded. "Our team has professional equipment that can detect if there are mechanisms in the Tomb Chamber. As long as you can help us, you can ask us to do anything."
Ye Bai smiled slightly: "Since that's the case, I won't be polite."
"Good, leave it to us. We won't let you down."
Hearing this, Ye Bai raised an eyebrow.
This guy was quite confident.
He wanted to see what these people's strength was like, so he agreed.
Ye Bai led the members of the Huaxia Expedition Team further along the Tomb Passage. The viewers in the Live Stream Room were also heatedly discussing these new additions.
"These expedition members look quite reliable. I wonder how much they can help Great God Ye?"
"I hope they don't drag him down. This Ancient Tomb is so wicked; more people means more strength, I guess."
The leading youth was named Lin Yu. He commanded his team members to take out various detection devices and began scanning the Tomb Passage.
"The magnetic field here is a bit abnormal. Everyone be careful, there might be hidden mechanisms," Lin Yu said.
Ye Bai watched their professional operations and nodded inwardly, though his face remained expressionless.
Meng Ziyi whispered to Yang Mi: "These people seem quite professional. I hope we can find the exit quickly. I really don't want to stay in this place for another moment." Yang Mi nodded in agreement, lingering fear still in her eyes.
Just then, one of the expedition members cried out in alarm: "Captain, there's something here!"
Everyone gathered around to look and saw a slowly rotating disc on one side of the Tomb Passage wall, covered in strange patterns.
There were snakes, toads, scorpions, and other poisonous creatures. These creatures were lifelike, as if they would come to life at any moment.
"Is this... a Poison Gu Disc?"
Ye Bai's brow furrowed slightly: "I've heard of a folk evil art where the souls of various poisonous creatures are sealed in such a disc. Once triggered, the Gu poison will be released."
Lin Yu's expression was grave: "Then what should we do? Can we destroy it?"
Ye Bai shook his head: "No, forcing its destruction might trigger an even greater disaster. According to Ancient Books, we need to find the corresponding solution. These patterns should have some kind of pattern."
