Suddenly, the silver coffin trembled violently and calmed down. At that moment, the air seemed to have frozen.
Ye Tianze and Zhu Que's hearts tightened. This was because silence did not mean that everything was over. Instead, it meant that danger was about to arrive.
Indeed, the coffin suddenly let out a "boom". The silver coffin lid flew off and landed somewhere unknown. The flames in Zhu Que's hands were extinguished in an instant.
Then, a hand landed on the coffin. It was a silver arm that emitted flowing light. It was almost transparent and they could clearly see the blood flowing in the arm.
"Let's go!" Ye Tianze pulled Zhu Que. He turned his head and ran towards the dark side of the hall.
It was also at this moment that the hall was suddenly filled with silver light, illuminating the entire hall. A cold aura swept over them, causing Ye Tianze and the Vermilion Bird to feel a bone-piercing cold. They subconsciously shivered, unable to take a single step forward.
"Don't move. Hold your breath. Try not to release any spiritual aura!" Zhu Que suddenly pulled him back.
Although Ye Tianze did not know what was going on, he chose to believe in Zhu Que. Almost immediately, he restrained all of his spiritual aura and did not dare to release any spiritual aura.
A cold wind blew past their cheeks. Suddenly, a layer of frost condensed on their bodies. Then, a tall Spirit Race person appeared in front of them. This Spirit Race person's body was completely silver. His eyes were hollow and there were no eyeballs. His insides were pitch black.
He looked at the two of them and there was a thick aura of death around him.
Their bodies trembled slightly. This was an instinctive fear towards this power that came from the darkness. However, the two of them did not release any spiritual aura.
This Silver Spirit Race person hovered in front of them for a long time. He was less than three feet away from them. They could clearly see the blood flowing in his body like mercury.
"Buzz!"
There was a loud crash, and the ground shook. The Silver Spirit suddenly raised its head and looked at the ceiling of the palace. The light from where the two of them had fallen seemed to be fading away.
With a flash of its body, it turned into a ray of silver light and disappeared in front of them. Zhu Que and Ye Tianze let out a long sigh. Under the faint light, a layer of frost condensed on their faces. It was formed by the condensation of sweat.
"What the hell is that?!" Ye Tianze asked, "There's no sign of life, and … the thing flowing in his body isn't blood!"
"Corpse Ghost!" Zhu Que said, "These Spirit Race people are actually raising Corpse Ghouls. And they're using the corpses of their ancestors to do so. That was a Silver Corpse!"
"Ghouls don't look like that." Ye Tianze had seen Ghouls before.
"What do you think a zombie is?" Zhu Que asked curiously.
"Now isn't the time to argue. We should look for a way out. If we're trapped here, we'll die." Ye Tianze changed the topic.
"Isn't the only way out right above us?" Zhu Que bitterly smiled. "If I was at my peak, I could take you away, but …"
"That might not be true. Since so many Spirit Race powerhouses are buried here and they're raising Corpse Ghouls, there must be other ways out. That one we just opened was just an accident," Ye Tianze said.
The two of them immediately began to search. But at this time, the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard coming from the only exit. There were also cries of alarm. Even from far away, they could feel the power of the shockwaves.
Hard work paid off. Ye Tianze finally found a way out. Under the silver coffin, there was a secret spell.
When he opened the spell, the coffin moved aside, revealing a tunnel. As soon as the two of them walked in, dim ancient lamps suddenly lit up on both sides of the tunnel.
The two of them walked into the tunnel, and the coffin immediately returned to its original position. A cold wind blew through the tunnel. After about half a mile, the tunnel finally came to an end.
The light suddenly vanished. When Zhu Que's hand lit up with a flame, a large hall appeared in front of them. Just like the previous hall, a bronze coffin had appeared in front of them. It was covered in green embroidery and exuded an ancient aura.
"As expected!" Ye Tianze muttered to himself.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Zhu Que asked curiously.
"No, how could I dare hide it from you?" Ye Tianze said.
Zhu Que kept feeling that Ye Tianze's words were fishy, but she didn't pursue the matter. After all, the information Ye Tianze had obtained from the Zhao clan didn't seem to be very useful in the Sacred Mountains.
They searched around the hall and found another seal. However, Ye Tianze had no intention of leaving this time. Instead, he began to examine the bronze coffin.
"If we release all the corpses in this coffin, what do you think will happen?" Ye Tianze said.
Zhu Que looked at him in surprise. "We can't wait to avoid it, but you still want to release the things in this coffin? Are you crazy?"
"Do you still remember the situation when I used a secret technique to break through the formation?" Ye Tianze asked.
Previously, they had only wanted to use a secret technique to try and break through the formation, but they hadn't expected that it would cause such a chain reaction.
The Vermillion Bird thought about it and also felt that something was wrong. "It is reasonable to say that even if it is a growth secret technique, it should disappear immediately after the spiritual power is cut off. However, after your spiritual power was cut off, not only did the secret technique not disappear, it began to grow on its own. The situation is indeed a bit strange."
"It's not just strange, it's simply strange. Why is the Sacred Mountains so barren? Have you ever thought about it?" Ye Tianze asked.
Zhu Que was silent for a moment before saying, "You mean to say that the Spirit Race cut off the vitality of the Sacred Mountains in order to cultivate ghouls, and not because they were afraid of disturbing the rest of the ancestors?"
"Smart!" Ye Tianze said. "Have you ever thought about why the Spirit Race did this?"
"What else could it be, it's not …" Thinking of this, Zhu Que suddenly stopped. "Could it be that these ghouls are to deal with the Human Race?"
"Then you think too highly of the Human Race. Not to mention the power of Zhu Que's Secret Realm, I'm afraid that even the entire Southern Territory would find it difficult to contend with all the ghouls in the Sacred Mountains," Ye Tianze said.
"So …" Zhu Que was puzzled. "Then what else is worth the Spirit Race doing this?"
"This reminds me of an ancient formation called the Ten Thousand Corpses Formation!" Ye Tianze said. "This formation is very sinister. Once it's set up, there will be no vitality within a radius of thousands of miles. It's comparable to the Devil Dragon Ancestor."
Zhu Que had obviously heard of the Ten Thousand Corpse Array. It was an extremely sinister formation. Basically, the Five Great Tribes would not allow such a formation to exist. When it appeared, they would definitely join forces to kill it.
"The Ten Thousand Corpse Array goes against the Heavenly Dao. The Spirit Race uses the Tree of Life as its foundation. Why would they create this Ten Thousand Corpse Array?" Zhu Que was very puzzled.
