38: The Nine Gates emerged, shocking them all. Why doesn't Ye Bai have the surname Zhang?
At this moment, 'Gun Barrel' had slowly regained consciousness.
He opened his eyes groggily, first feeling a sense of confusion, followed by terror.
"Ahhh!!! A ghost is here!!!"
Cai Xukun, completely unaware of the situation, screamed loudly, startling everyone who had just survived the ordeal.
"Stop screaming."
Upon hearing Cai Xukun's scream, Zhang Dada covered his ears and cut him off.
Cai Xukun stopped, looking at everyone before him with a dazed expression. Seeing them staring at him with displeasure, he felt confused.
"What's going on? Where is the female ghost? I clearly saw the female ghost approaching me!"
In the Live Stream Room—
【 Hahaha, Kun Kun is killing me with laughter. I think he really is the lucky one... 】
【 Isn't that the truth! He's always a step behind, but at least his luck is decent. He fainted from fright before the female ghost, so he missed all those thrilling scenes. That can be considered a blessing... 】
【 Hmph, what kind of blessing is that? I think he's just a coward. Brother Jing was almost hurt by the female ghost several times, so why didn't he faint? Only Kun Kun did. I think he's just a scaredy-cat! 】
【 Exactly! He's not even as charming as Brother Ye Bai, who could even make the female ghost kneel. I bet none of the other celebrities could do that, right? 】
【 And Kun Kun just started screaming as soon as he opened his eyes... He scared the hell out of me! I was terrified, let alone Da Mimi and the others on site. With guts like that, how can he have the nerve to go to the Forbidden Ground? 】
【 Hahaha!! I'm dying of laughter!! 】
... The Live Stream Room was happily mocking Cai Xukun.
Changsha! Inside an old mansion.
An old man with gray hair was watching the scene before him in shock. The screen showed exactly the moment Ye Bai was conversing with the Female Corpse.
The old man clenched his fists in great excitement, his murky eyes reflecting a faint gleam of brilliance.
"Corpse Language... He actually knows the Corpse Language that has been lost for many years..."
"How is this possible... How could he know the Corpse Language that has been lost for many years? This is impossible."
Thinking of this, the old man hurriedly picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Investigate this young man named Ye Bai thoroughly. I want to know all his information, dig up his ancestors back eight generations!"
After saying this, he hung up the phone directly. He then rewound the video he had just watched to continue observing the scene where Ye Bai was conversing with the Female Corpse.
At this moment, other forces in Changsha also saw Ye Bai's skills and began investigating him.
Corpse Language! That was a language lost for a long time. It was a skill that only the Zhang Family within the Nine Gates possessed. It is said that the Great Buddha Zhang could use Corpse Language back then, and later only the Zhang Family Clan Chief could use it...
They hadn't seen this skill for many years, and now it had re-emerged in the Jianghu through Ye Bai... Their hearts began to tremble.
Could the Zhang Family of the old Nine Gates be re-emerging in the Jianghu? But aren't all the members of the Zhang Family surnamed Zhang? Why is there one named Ye? What is going on with this person named Ye?
At this moment, in another mansion... A middle-aged man was tasting tea in a retro courtyard, with several antiques placed before him, seemingly appraising them.
Just then— A person dressed in black walked in from the entrance.
"Sir, we just received news that the Xie Family has sent people to investigate a young man named Ye Bai."
The middle-aged man's hand, holding the teacup, paused, then returned to normal.
"Oh? Did that person named Ye Bai offend them?"
"No, I heard them say... that Ye Bai knows the Corpse Language that has been lost for many years..."
Clatter! The teacup fell to the ground and shattered, splashing water everywhere. A rare look of shock appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he looked at the man before him in disbelief.
"What did you say? Corpse Language?"
"Yes, that's what they said. That person named Ye Bai is participating in the live-streamed Forbidden Ground exploration, which is how they discovered he knows Corpse Language. Sir! Should we..."
The man in black looked at the middle-aged man in astonishment. This was the first time he had seen him lose his composure like this.
"Investigate Ye Bai's identity immediately. And make sure to find out his identity before the Xie Family does."
The middle-aged man spoke suddenly, his tone somewhat urgent.
"Yes!" The man in black turned and left to send people to investigate Ye Bai.
The middle-aged man returned to the room, took out the tablet he had bought earlier, and searched for the video of Ye Bai using Corpse Language.
When he heard the 'Hehe' sound, his mind exploded... It really was Corpse Language!
This Ye Bai actually knows Corpse Language... Could he be a member of the Zhang Family?
Just as he was in shock, he saw the two female ghosts suddenly pull away from the corpses. As to why they suddenly pulled away, and the sudden screams, he was extremely curious.
The angle didn't show it very clearly; he only saw him wave the knife in front of him, then flick it towards the Female Corpse's forehead, and then, he saw the female ghost pull away from the corpse...
The next second, there was the scene of the female ghost kneeling to Ye Bai!
At the same time he saw this scene, his mind buzzed even more. How could this be... Why would Ye Bai make the female ghost kneel? How did he do that?
"Truly impressive!" "I never imagined that there would be someone as impressive as him in the world..."
The middle-aged man murmured in shock, his eyes full of horror and surprise.
Judging by the clothes on the female ghost, this corpse was at least a thousand years old; this could be considered a thousand-year-old female ghost, but then looking at Ye Bai...
No! This is the Forbidden Ground, how could there be a Female Corpse? And a thousand-year-old one at that?
The middle-aged man furrowed his brows, then took out the map he had obtained earlier and began to study the overall appearance of the Misty Forest.
... At this moment, Professor Han brought Xiao Song to the Archaeology Academy.
Even in the middle of the night, the professors at the Archaeology Academy were still in the research lab studying various ancient artifacts.
A day ago, the Archaeology Academy had just found a Tomb of a noble, and they were now studying the Funerary Objects and restoring artifacts.
Professor Wang was an elder of their Archaeology Academy and also an elder in the Daxia archaeological circle. Professor Wang had once led an Archaeological Team to explore a Tomb, and it was this Tomb that advanced Daxia's history and culture by a thousand years.
It was this achievement that instantly made Professor Wang a leader in Daxia, and he even held a certain status internationally, having once represented Daxia in explaining ancient history and culture to the whole world.
Professor Wang had just returned to his office, dragging his exhausted body, when he saw Professor Han and Xiao Song already waiting there.
"What are you doing here? What time is it? Old man, aren't you sleepy?"
Professor Wang hung his lab coat on the coat rack and looked at them with some surprise. His gaze also subconsciously fell on Professor Han's feet.
"Look at you, how old are you, can't you wear your shoes properly? You're sloppy all day long. In front of the child, mind your image."
