Imperial Treasure

Chapter 595 - 385 Xiao Qi

Chapter 385

It was definitely a terrifying and formidable evil spirit.

I had thought it was a mere ghost story, but it turned out to be real.

The woman was astonished and quickened her pace, her movement technique was impressive. But just before entering the corridor, she couldn’t help but turn her head and ask, "If that’s the case, why didn’t you take action earlier? Don’t you care about your friends?"

"Where there is resentment, there will be consequences."

The woman paused, seemingly coming to an understanding, guessing that someone among those people must be the target of the God Servant’s grudge...

She glanced at the coffin and from her perspective, she could just make out some text carved on the inner wall of the coffin...

Although she didn’t understand the writing, she knew that he did.

So she turned around and left.

At this moment, Sui Yi truly was the only one left.

She took one look at the text on the inner wall and walked towards Bai Xi.

With a light step, she jumped onto Bai Xi’s head, squatted down, and gently swept her hand over the top of its head, her eyebrows suddenly lifting.

"It’s here after all..."

She lightly pricked the top of its head with the Demon Que, making a small incision, then formed hand seals with her palm and pressed them on the small cut.

After a moment, she lifted her hand, and her palm revealed a blood-stained fragment.

Cangwu Fragments!

The blood was still startlingly red...

"Having consumed Cangwu, it is indeed your destiny, attaching to it to preserve a wisp of essence."

Sui Yi’s mouth curled slightly in what seemed like reassurance, then she forced herself to form a gesture, pressing the Cangwu Fragment into her palm. Moments later, a drop of blood slowly emerged from her fingertip.

This drop of blood was particularly bright red and even carried a faint gold hue.

"I am no longer of the same body as before, lacking Witch Blood. Although Cangwu can exchange time and let me extract essence blood, it is only an incomplete fragment, merely this single drop. The outcome will depend on your own luck..."

The drop fell precisely into the small incision she had made.

Sui Yi smoothed over the wound with her palm, and it healed.

After jumping down, Sui Yi glanced at the corridor to the far left.

Then she turned and walked away.

As she left, a dark shadow propped against the corridor wall, watching her disappear, then glanced at Bai Xi’s corpse and narrowed its eyes, chuckling lightly, "The trip really wasn’t in vain, to actually encounter the real one... Loulan really didn’t lie to me."

"But indeed so cold, not deigning to notice me..."

————————

The long corridor seemed lengthy when they were coming in, but in-flight, it felt even longer. Caught in their desperate escape, Yhan Qingwu couldn’t help asking, "Where exactly were Han Gao and the others?"

"In another corridor... Since Sui Yi said they’ve been rescued, no matter who did the rescuing, they must be alright by now. With all this commotion, they would’ve run as well... There’s no need to worry." Having cooperated so many times, their team’s understanding could go unsaid. Flower Demon was sure with Brother Ma and Zhang Wei, both of whom were quite intelligent, their decisions would be sound.

Only... they felt the corridor was becoming increasingly strange...

"Don’t you guys think it’s too quiet?"

"Yeah, it was shaking violently just a moment ago, but now there’s nothing."

"Was all that just to scare us?"

Better safe than sorry, no one dared to take things lightly.

Especially with so many people chasing them...

So, the group hastened on without delay...

However, just then, the fat man suddenly slammed on the brakes, screaming, "Avatar!!!"

What the what?

Flower Demon was about to slap him when he saw what was ahead...

It was indeed an Avatar...

A Green-Haired Rice Dumpling, and another person.

Their skin peeled away, revealing green flesh, and a large lump had formed on the neck, making it look like a green-skinned ghost with two heads...

"It’s Corpse Hover!"

"This green monster is Corpse Hover?"

In their shock, Corpse Hover looked at them coldly, though its expression was somewhat blank...

"Let her go..."

They all heard the voice, but the problem was...

He didn’t open his mouth!

Yhan Qingwu frowned. Ventriloquism?

While they were puzzled, the lump on Corpse Hover’s neck turned around, revealing...

Everybody was startled.

That lump was none other than a human head, indeed the Green Head they had seen before, whose features were now very distinct and whose expression was extremely fierce...

"Green Head? I didn’t expect this person to be possessed by Green Head already... Maybe it’s the original host body; no wonder I felt the Yin Energy on this Corpse Hover was unusually heavy," Mount Mover commented.

"Oh, give it a rest; hindsight isn’t helping now! That Green-Haired Rice Dumpling and this Green Head monster are yours to deal with~" The fat man sneered and huffed.

Xiao Qi, carrying Gong Jiu on her back, Yhan Qingwu, and the others naturally had to protect each other, and together they advanced...

Roar!

The Green-Haired Rice Dumpling let out a low growl and immediately engaged in a fierce battle...

But after just two or three exchanges, Yhan Qingwu and Flower Demon, working together, were only just managing to hold their own, thanks to Yhan Qingwu’s possession of a secret weapon from the Tang Sect particularly effective against zombies. Initially on equal footing, they soon found themselves outmatched, as the Rice Dumpling simply wouldn’t tire, whereas Yhan Qingwu’s secret weapon would eventually run out...

"Xiao Qi, you take Gong Jiu and get out of here!"

Previously, Third Lady Yin had already abandoned Mount Mover and turned to pursue the young man. At this moment, there were not many people in their group either. Flower Demon, naturally, had her own trusted people take away Gong Jiu. However... she glanced out of the corner of her eye and suddenly her eyes widened in shock.

Xiao Qi now had a slight smile on her face, one hand clasping Gong Jiu’s neck, "I’m afraid that won’t be possible, we still have to wait for someone..."

Wait for who?

"Naturally, we wait for me..." Though not in the best of states, but with a cold demeanor, Second Master Gong emerged from the shadows, Flower Demon sneered, "You’re still not dead... And you, Xiao Qi... I never expected you to be one of his people."

Yhan Qingwu also frowned, "Everything that happened before in the tomb river... was just a bitter ploy deliberately directed by you?"

It was also then that she began to trust this person because she was Following Sui Yi.

"Of course, how else could I make a clever and suspicious person like you trust me?~ I certainly acted with great effort and attention... Fortunately, you never doubted me, but you said one thing wrong"

"I’m not one of Gong Nie’s people..." He said, smiling lightly, not saying much, just clutching Gong Jiu’s neck and pressing her against a wall, his tone turning cold, "Now, you should stand down, or don’t blame me for twisting her neck off."

You!

Flower Demon and Yhan Qingwu were angrily restrained, while Mount Mover and the fatty looked at each other, not knowing what to say...

"What, unwilling?" Xiao Qi applied slight pressure...

"Wait!"

Flower Demon and Yhan Qingwu immediately stopped their actions.

"What do you want?"

"What do I want?" Xiao Qi looked at Second Master Gong.

Second Master Gong, showing no expression, walked up to the unconscious Gong Jiu and pressed a finger on her neck, "She’s still alive, indeed Sui Yi has vast Divine Skills. She hasn’t caught up yet, we need a quick resolution..."

He looked to Corpse Hover, "I want the Dragon Leading Plate, her people will belong to you."

"The Dragon Leading Plate has already merged with her body, you can’t get it."

"What~!" Second Master Gong was shocked, "Then wouldn’t all my efforts be in vain..."

The young man on that side surely had no part for him, not enough combat power, and considering his own serious injuries, he couldn’t catch up with them either.

So he could only settle for the next best thing, wanting to retrieve the Dragon Leading Plate. With it, opening other Ancient Tombs would be much easier, and a future of glory, wealth, and power seemed within easy reach. Even recreating a Palace Family wouldn’t be difficult.

But now someone was telling him it was all for naught!

"That’s your problem... In any case, she’s the prey that I want..." Corpse Hover’s Green Head looked at Gong Jiu, and both Flower Demon and Yhan Qingwu suddenly realized that the other was targeting Gong Jiu.

Why?

But obviously, Gong Jiu’s fate seemed grim. After all, one was the fearsome Green Head, and the other was the covetous traitor from the Palace Family. Whichever hands she fell into, death was certain.

No, perhaps death was the easy part. It would be worse to be tortured into something inhuman.

The two exchanged a glance, a breath, and suddenly launched a surprise attack!

However, Corpse Hover seemed to sense it, and the Green-Haired Rice Dumplings lunged for them.

Boom! Flower Demon’s palm met the Green-Haired Rice Dumplings, unable to hold back, his body brutally slammed into the wall. Meanwhile, Yhan Qingwu bent over, her wrist flipping, and with a silver needle in her palm, she fiercely stabbed it into the Green-Haired Rice Dumplings...

It was a very small and fine special Silver Needle, designed to vanquish evil spirits. If it were made of any other material, and if she hadn’t applied all her force, it would have been impossible to penetrate. Fortunately, now it had gone in.

The Green-Haired Rice Dumplings stiffened, mouth agape...

At the same moment, Flower Demon tossed a Black Donkey Hoof into its mouth, and as Yhan Qingwu quickly approached, at the same moment they both leaped away, she flicked her hand, and an Exorcism Bullet also landed in the Green-Haired Rice Dumplings’ mouth...

Boom!!!

An explosion!

A cloud of smoke billowed.

Xiao Qi, in the midst of the dust and smoke, sensed the two approaching and sneered, raising his hand to fire two shots...

He missed!

Not good!

He was just about to grab Gong Jiu... and she was gone!

As the dust settled, Gong Jiu was not with Flower Demon or Yhan Qingwu, but was with...

Corpse Hover.

That Green-skinned Big Palm held Gong Jiu’s neck, brought the Green Head close, sniffing over Gong Jiu’s body...

"Indeed, she is his descendant... You made me like this, and your descendant... heh heh~"

With such a spiteful look, it must be a deep-seated hatred...

Not good!

Yhan Qingwu saw Corpse Hover about to take Gong Jiu away...

Boom!

Suddenly, shots were fired!

Those were silver light bullets... hitting Corpse Hover’s hand that was holding Gong Jiu. Like shooting stars, they sparked and began to burn...

"The Exorcism Bullets," they had arrived!

Flower Demon had already rushed forward, seizing Gong Jiu... Run!

"Scram!" Furious, Corpse Hover blasted a green mist from his body, his small head distorted with rage, lunging at Zhang Wei and the others who were emerging from another tunnel...

"Zhang Wei, quick, shoot him!"

The gun Zhang Wei held was strange, flashing with silver light and quite beautiful, with special Runes all over it...

Boom!

A second Silver Bullet shot out, hitting its mark a hundred percent, concentrating its fire on Corpse Hover again...

But, the creature seemed undeterred by Gong Jiu, despite the burning silver flames on its body, relentlessly pursuing Flower Demon...

Yhan Qingwu tapped her foot, attacking Corpse Hover, but...

This thing was too strong! Much stronger than the Green-Haired Rice Dumplings by more than ten times, and while there was something to hold back the Rice Dumplings, she didn’t have a specific Secret Weapon against the Green-headed Ghost. Indeed, they had only expected to encounter Rice Dumplings, who could have thought there would be a Green Head... (To be continued.
