Chapter 624
byInside the room, the spring scenery was boundless. Outside the room, Ruan Xinyu’s face was as red as a ripe apple. Listening to the strange mosquito-like moans and groans, her body felt limp and numb, and she was very embarrassed.
After a long while, she finally realized that it was wrong to eavesdrop like this, and sighed indignantly: “Youth really can’t resist temptation!”
Saying this, she hurriedly returned to the room, blocked her ears, and held her breath.
The night passed quickly. Ruan Xinyu, who lived next door to Yang Kai, also suffered a lot. This night, the earth shook and the mountains trembled, making it almost impossible for her to feel at ease.
When it was almost dawn, the movement next door gradually subsided. Ruan Xinyu couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh of relief, calmed her mood, and was just about to have a good rest when the ground suddenly shook again.
Is there an end to this?” Ruan Xinyu wanted to cry but had no tears. She really didn’t expect that the energy of the dog and woman next door was actually so strong. As soon as the words fell, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Because this vibration was very different from the previous ones. Accompanying the vibration, a creepy feeling was quickly approaching from a distance.
Ruan Xinyu’s face changed immediately, and she rushed out quickly.
The door of the next room also creaked open, and Yang Kai and Yun Xuan appeared at the same time. The former’s expression was extremely solemn, while the latter had a look of satisfaction on her face, like a flower that had been moistened by rain and dew, and was even more beautiful than before.
Ruan Xinyu took a look at her and couldn’t help but click her tongue in wonder, but she didn’t say much either. She turned her head again and stared intently at the distant sky.
Over there, the entire sky was blood red, and the sky was as terrifying as if it had been splashed with blood. And that blood red was spreading towards them at an extremely fast speed.
The entire Blazing Fire City hummed, and countless martial artists who felt something was wrong got up one after another to check, and their expressions all changed drastically.
“What’s going on?” Ruan Xinyu’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“There’s something approaching here! Yang Kai narrowed his eyes. Under the powerful spiritual sense exploration, he perceives a rather dangerous, violent and evil aura. The strength of this aura made him couldn’t help but feel a sense of palpitation and unease.
“What could have such momentum?” Yun Xuan was shocked.
“I don’t know.” Yang Kai shook his head.
In the City Lord’s Mansion, the sound of clothes fluttering could be heard. Obviously, Ji Yan had already led the experts in the mansion to set off and was rushing over there to find out.
“I’ll go and take a look. You stay here.” Yang Kai thought for a while and was about to rush out. Yun Xuan grabbed him and said, “Let’s go together. It’s better to have someone to watch our backs.”
Yang Kai furrowed his brows. Without saying much, he let them follow behind.
The three of them closely trailed behind Ji Yan’s group and sped away.
Soon, they arrived outside the city.
At this moment, many martial artists had already gathered outside Blazing Fire City. These martial artists were either in groups of three or five, or in groups of a dozen or so. All of them stopped outside the city, occupied the commanding heights one after another, craned their necks and looked around, trying to figure out what exactly had happened over there.
Among these martial artists, some were disciples of the Proud Solitary Alliance, and there were even more martial artists from other forces. For various reasons, they stayed in Blazing Fire City and happened to catch up with today’s excitement.
Everyone was whispering and pointing at the distant sky, guessing what exactly caused this strange phenomenon, but no one could sort out the clue.
Among those present, Ji Yan, who had the cultivation base of the Transcendent Realm, was undoubtedly the strongest. At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed. His spiritual consciousness flickered back and forth, spying on the information in the distance. Soon, his expression suddenly changed and his complexion became strange.
“City Lord Ji, what’s the situation over there?” someone loudly asked Ji Yan.
Ji Yan shook his head: “I don’t know either, but there must be danger here. If you cherish your lives, leave this place quickly.”
Hearing him say this, some people immediately used their movement techniques and left far away. But more people chose to stay.
Most of the time, danger represents opportunity. This matter is rather baffling. Maybe there will be some benefits to be gained. Naturally, those with ulterior motives won’t be scared away by Ji Yan’s words.
What’s more, so many people are waiting here. Even if there is really danger, it’s not necessarily impossible to escape.
Seeing that his persuasion had no effect, Ji Yan didn’t say more and just waited quietly.
While observing, he suddenly discovered Yun Xuan and the other two, and quickly waved to them.
Yun Xuan smiled slightly, said something to Yang Kai and Ruan Xinyu, and then flew over to join the experts of Ji Yan’s mansion.
“Miss Yun, since your injury is not yet healed, it’s better not to come out.” Ji Yan was rather worried.
“It’s almost healed. Thank you, Uncle Ji, for your concern.” Yun Xuan pursed her lips and smiled.
“Well, looking at your complexion, it’s indeed much better than a few days ago and has a lot more luster.” Ji Yan nodded with a smile.
“Hehe……” Yun Xuan couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed and explained: “It’s because Xinyu took good care of me.”
Ruan Xinyu pouted vigorously beside her and quietly glared at Yang Kai.
“is This your team member, right?” Ji Yan looked at Yang Kai again and nodded: “Young man, work hard. Following Miss Yun, you will surely have great achievements in the future. Don’t fail Miss Yun’s expectations of you.
Yang Kai didn’t express his opinion.
Yun Xuan was afraid that Yang Kai would say something inappropriate and quickly changed the topic to ask, “Uncle Ji, what exactly is going on?”
Ji Yan turned his head to look around and lowered his voice to say, “I don’t know the specific situation, but judging from this battle formation, there is indeed a certain danger. However, I sense that many experts are also flying towards this side, following behind that evilsmell.”
It was precisely because of detecting thesmell of these people that Ji Yan was so calm and composed.
If there was only that evilsmell, Ji Yan would definitely have started evacuating the people in Blazing Fire City, because the strength of thissmellmade him extremely wary.
“Following behind?” Yun Xuan was surprised.
Ji Yan nodded slightly: But what makes me strange is that the two sides haven’t started fighting. The people behind seem to be constantly watching and waiting for something, and the owner of the evilsmellin the front also doesn’t have the slightest intention to make a move. I don’t understand.”
As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly.
Yun Xuan and Ruan Xinyu looked at each other and also felt a little strange.
Yang Kai’s expression was calm, still looking composed in the face of change. This made Ji Yan look at him with a little more admiration, Youdaoplaceholder0 thinking that this team member of Yun Xuan had a fairly good psychological quality and was a good seedling.
As time passed, the blood-stained color was gradually eroding the sky above Blazing Fire City, and the palpitations and disturbingsmellwas also getting closer and closer
Soon, a small black dot entered the field of vision of everyone.
“What is that?” someone exclaimed.
“It seems to be a person?”
Everyone looked towards that black dot, but the sky was not yet bright, the light was not good, and it was too far away, so no one could see clearly what kind of person it was exactly.
Only saw that behind this black dot, there were faintly dozens of powerhouses following, and many of these powerhouses revealed the aura of the Transcendent Realm.
Ji Yan’s expression became even more solemn.
After waiting for a while, the black dot in the sky finally became clear. After seeing his appearance clearly, Ji Yan couldn’t help but shrink his pupils and exclaimed: “The Coffin Carrier?”
As soon as these three words came out of Ji Yan’s mouth, he immediately realized something was wrong.
Looking around, sure enough, it was seen that the warriors gathered here all around showed extremely excited expressions, eager to try, greedily staring at the so-called Coffin Carrier in the sky.
Yun Xuan also had a look of surprise on her face and asked urgently: “Uncle Ji, is it the legendary Coffin Carrier?”
Ruan Xinyu even pursed her small mouth, seemingly not expecting that one day she would actually be able to see a character who only existed in legends.
“It should be.” Ji Yan’s face looked very ugly, in sharp contrast to the warriors around him. “This kind of aura, this kind of strength, only he can have. I didn’t expect that the Coffin Carrier has actually been born again…”
While listening to the conversations of several people, Yang Kai raised his eyes to look at the coffin carrier in the sky and suddenly understood why he had such a strange name.
Because behind him, there was actually a coffin carried on his back, a huge blood-red coffin, strange and creepy. Strands of corpse-like auras were emitted from the coffin carrier’s body.
And the coffin carrier himself was also born with a stocky build and a hulking figure. His physique was several times larger than anyone Yang Kai had ever seen. He didn’t seem to belong to the human race. He was more than two zhang tall, with layers of bulging muscles on his body. However, there were many pustules and sarcomas on his body, and his appearance was terrifying. His facial features were ferocious, and in his wide-open mouth, sawtooth-like fangs were irregularly arranged, panting heavily.
His movements were very slow. It seemed that he had to brew for a long time for each step he took. But each of his steps contained a rather profound artistic conception. So although his movements were slow, his speed was extremely fast.
Yang Kai secretly observed his steps. After only looking at a few glances, he suddenly felt dizzy.
Ji Yan coldly shouted: “Don’t try to understand his martial way. That’s not something you can understand.”
Yang Kai’s heart trembled, and he nodded slightly.
Turning around, he quietly asked Yun Xuan: “The coffin carrier, is he very famous?”
Yun Xuan looked at him in surprise. Suddenly she remembered that this person didn’t seem to understand anything about the outside world, so she quickly and carefully explained: “He is a legend. Basically, his name has spread all over the Tongxuan Continent. No one knows where he came from or why he carries a blood-red coffin on his back. Because of his appearance, the world calls him the Coffin Carrier. This is the first time I’ve seen him too. But I heard that every ten years, the Coffin Carrier will be born once, and every time he is born in a different place. He has left his footprints in the east, south, west, and north of the continent. However, if it’s him, there’s no need to worry too much.”
“Why?” Yang Kai was suspicious.
Because although the Coffin Carrier has strong strength and a terrifying appearance, he has never attacked anyone.
“He won’t attack people?” Yang Kai was surprised.
“Well, it’s very strange. I don’t know what rule restricts him. Anyway, no one has ever seen him make a move. Not only that, when the Coffin Carrier is born, he will also bring some unexpected benefits to people.”
“What benefits?” Yang Kai became interested.
“The Coffin Carrier will randomly choose a place to stop and rest. And when he stops, if you push him too hard, he will throw out a lot of secret treasures, martial arts skills, cultivation methods, or spiritual pills and medicines and so on. These are all good things that warriors fight for.
