658: Black coffin, hanging coffin temple

Four days later.

Led by Red Fish Fairy, everyone boarded a flying boat and headed north towards Hanging Coffin Temple.

Longevity Holy Son, Longevity Saintess, and Murong Ye were all part of the team.

In addition, several more people arrived from Myriad Sword Holy Land, led by a gray-robed man.

His name was Gu Jianfeng, a favored son of Myriad Sword Holy Land, whose cultivation was a level higher than Jian Jun's, reaching the mid-stage of the Return to Void Realm.

Xie Weilou, dressed in a black robe and with an ordinary appearance, mingled among the crowd. A Dragon Transformation Realm Peak aura emanated from him, making him not too conspicuous in this group.

Fu Aniu was also among them, dressed in brocade robes and holding a folding Fan, looking like a dashing young master. However, this person was definitely not simple, because his surname was Fu!

"Brother, I am Fu Aniu. May I know your esteemed name?"

Fu Aniu stood beside Xie Weilou, asking curiously. The Xie Weilou in front of him looked unremarkable, but he sensed something special about him.

Evidently, his discernment was extraordinary; he could feel that the person before him was very unique.

He hadn't been in Xuanji Province for long, yet he unexpectedly encountered several hidden masters, which was quite interesting.

Xie Weilou smiled, cupped his fists, and said, "I am Fan Wujiu!"

"Hmm? Fan... Fan Wujiu?"

Fu Aniu's pupils contracted.

Not only Fu Aniu, but Longevity Saintess and others on the flying boat also stared at Xie Weilou, their eyes filled with surprise.

In this Eastern Barrens, the name Fan Wujiu was indeed terrifying.

He was a powerful figure of the Reincarnation Sect, capable of fighting the various Holy Lords of the Holy Lands, extremely formidable, and considered a renowned existence in the Eastern Barrens.

Fu Aniu said with a solemn expression, "Brother Fan, this name... is very unique!"

More than unique?

It was simply terrifying! In this Eastern Barrens, who would dare to take such an inauspicious name?

Xie Weilou smiled faintly and said, "Many people say that! But there's no helping it, Fan's name is just this. There are countless people with the same name in the world, and I am also helpless."

Fu Aniu gave a bitter smile, "That's true."

Longevity Saintess and the others averted their gaze.

Three hours later.

The flying boat traveled north and arrived at the location of Hanging Coffin Temple.

What appeared before everyone was an extremely massive gray mountain, towering into the clouds, reaching straight into the heavens.

The surroundings were incredibly steep, entirely composed of cliffs with no paths leading up the mountain. Countless coffins hung densely on the cliffs, like a staircase, dazzling to the eye.

And at the peak of the mountain, an Ancient Temple was faintly visible.

That temple was precisely Hanging Coffin Temple!

"Everyone, we have arrived at our destination."

Red Fish Fairy said, then flew down.

Above the mountain, there was a terrifying anti-flight array sealing the area. Even a Creation Realm expert would likely find it difficult to break through. Flying directly to the mountain peak was simply unrealistic.

The others also left the flying boat one after another.

Everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain and looked up. The hanging coffins made them feel an inexplicable trepidation.

Some of the coffins were already broken and scattered, and there were many broken wooden boards on the ground.

In the previous battle, those powerful individuals destroyed some coffins, but many still remained.

Longevity Holy Son said gravely, "Within these hanging coffins of Hanging Coffin Temple, there are evil spirits. Trying to step on the coffins directly to ascend will likely lead to big problems. Red Fish Fairy, what are your arrangements?"

Previously, many powerful individuals from major factions came, but they did not destroy all the coffins here, which shows that these coffins are not simple.

Red Fish Fairy chuckled softly, "Don't worry! I am prepared."

With that, she extended her jade hand, and a two-foot-long black Mysterious Coffin appeared in her palm. The Mysterious Coffin was peculiar, covered with dense runes, shimmering with black light, seemingly possessing a power of suppression.

"What is this?"

Everyone looked at the small coffin in Red Fish Fairy's hand, their expressions a little surprised. This coffin was not simple.

Red Fish Fairy smiled faintly, "This is a peculiar Mysterious Coffin I obtained by chance, which has the effect of suppressing evil. With this item in hand, the evil spirits within those coffins will not dare to act rashly! Everyone, follow me now, and we will go straight up."

"Alright."

Longevity Holy Son nodded gently.

"Follow."

Red Fish Fairy said, then, holding the Mysterious Coffin, she immediately rushed towards the cliff, easily stepping onto a coffin.

The evil spirits in the hanging coffins did not appear. The surrounding coffins continuously trembled, and the things within them seemed to be in fear, but they did not rush out.

"..."

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, collectively letting out a breath.

Red Fish Fairy continued to rush upwards, and everyone quickly followed, moving at an extremely fast pace.

After half an incense stick's time.

Everyone ascended unimpeded, successfully reaching the peak of the mountain, where a huge plaza appeared before them.

On the plaza, a solitary, ancient yellow temple stood. The temple doors were tightly shut, and in front of the temple, there was a withered banyan tree.

Everyone looked around and saw many incomplete Corpse Skeletons, all left by those who had previously attacked this place.

Some of them were even quite famous figures, but unfortunately, all of them had now turned into Corpse Skeletons, which made everyone's mood somewhat heavy.

The Ancient Temple was right in front of them, but there were hidden dangers within, and no one dared to act rashly.

In the previous battle, according to the person who left alive, Master Tianmu was already failing and could only last three more days at most.

Now that three days had passed, had he truly perished?

"..."

Xie Weilou surveyed the Hanging Coffin Temple before him. The Ancient Temple gave him a somewhat eerie feeling.

"amitābha! It seems this monk is not too late."

At that moment, a gentle voice sounded, and Heartless was seen flying up from below.

Holy Buddhist light emanated from him, capable of suppressing evil spirits. The things within the hanging coffins did not affect him in the slightest.

"Good fellow."

Xie Weilou saw Heartless using his true appearance, and his smile was somewhat strange.

"..."

Everyone's gaze fell on Heartless. This monk was truly extraordinary, to have come up just like that?

However, thinking that this was a Buddhist place, they felt that everything was normal.

The evil spirits within those coffins had a huge impact on outsiders, but for people of Buddhism, the Buddhist light was the bane of evil spirits, capable of suppressing them.

"Interesting."

Someone said with a playful expression.

Previously, this monk killed Jian Jun of Myriad Sword Holy Land. Now, a more extraordinary favored son from Myriad Sword Holy Land had arrived, and it was likely there would be a fight.

Gu Jianfeng looked at Heartless with cold eyes, "You were the one who killed a person from my Myriad Sword Holy Land, weren't you?"

Heartless smiled gently, placing one hand vertically in front of him, "amitābha, this monk does not kill. Someone must be slandering this monk."

The slanderer is right here!

"..."

Everyone was speechless. This monk was speaking nonsense with his eyes open. Who among those present hadn't seen him kill someone?

Since he dared to come here directly, why didn't he dare to admit it?

Xie Weilou's face darkened, and he glared at Heartless, saying, "A monastic, wantonly killing people? Simply detestable!"
