Chapter 22 The Secret Comes to Light

This time, it matched!

I stood up and looked towards the exit of the secret passage, "The sound of the prison door opening just now should mean the secret passage has been sealed off. Let's go down!"

"Feng Ruoxing, put Bai Hongzhen away. He's our money, can't lose him. Remember to leave his head out, I still have something to ask him."

Feng Ruoxing took out a cloth bag from his body, grabbed Bai Hongzhen, and stuffed him into the bag.

Every Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren has a magical artifact to imprison the Earth Soul: mine is the Soul-Chasing Rope, Ye Yang uses the Wandering Soul Silk, and Feng Ruoxing uses the Soul-Confining Bag, which is a bit more advanced than ours. At least it's safer for the Earth Soul.

Feng Ruoxing forcibly stuffed Bai Hongzhen's Earth Soul into the bag, then reached in and grabbed Bai Hongzhen's hair, pulling his head out.

I leaned down and looked into Bai Hongzhen's eyes, "Where is the human brain you took out before? Is it still usable?"

Bai Hongzhen hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's in the iron bucket in the prison cell over there, soaking in beast blood."

Sure enough, I found a human brain soaking in half a bucket of beast blood in the prison cell. Bai Hongzhen didn't know what method he used, but the human brain was still fresh.

I carefully held the human brain out and placed it on the mechanical round platform near the gate, "You mean, as long as the human brain can still hold divine consciousness, it means you've succeeded, right?"

Secret arts and medicine, except for the similarities in the Zhuyou branch of traditional Chinese medicine, are basically two different concepts in other situations. So, don't try to explain secret arts with science, and sorcerers don't bother to argue with science.

I don't know how to explain scientifically that the human brain still has consciousness after being dug out. I only know that, in terms of secret arts, it means that the divine soul has not been damaged.

Bai Hongzhen nodded, "Yes, as long as the divine soul isn't damaged, you can enter the next door."

"Soul Transference!" Without another word, I directly used the secret method of the Undying Corpse and entered that brain.

In the next moment, the prison doors in the secret passage opened wide. Ye Yang picked me up and ran into the door. Bai Hongzhen shouted sharply, "You're cheating, you..."

Before Bai Hongzhen could finish speaking, Feng Ruoxing punched him into the Soul-Confining Bag, tightened the bag, and hung it on his waist.

Ye Yang carried me into the door and then shouted, "Roll back!"

When I woke up on Ye Yang's back, that guy was already carrying me deep into the tomb passage. When I woke up, I immediately smelled a strong stench of blood.

Corpses were lying all over the front of the tomb passage. The dead were either torn apart or incomplete. The bloodstains on the corpses hadn't dried yet. The other party hadn't been killed for more than half an hour.

"The Bai family is in trouble!" Wang Butcher said in shock, "These people are all Bai family elites. They didn't even last half an hour?"

Feng Ruoxing raised his head, "They came down from above."

When I looked up at the sky, a hole had indeed been opened in the ceiling of the tomb passage. The corpse lying on the edge of the hole was still dripping blood. The Bai family paid a heavy price to fight all the way down from above.

I said in a deep voice, "Go forward and see if the Bai family has killed the prisoners here."

While I was talking, I slapped Ye Yang on the shoulder. Ye Yang threw me to the ground without any mercy, "Is it comfortable being carried by me?"

"It's poking me!" I pushed Ye Yang away and walked towards the prison door, where a dismembered corpse was hanging upside down. The bloody corpse was no longer distinguishable as a demonic beast or a living person. The only thing that could be seen was that his scalp had been peeled off.

I looked up and down at the corpse and said, "Look at the position of his scalp, is that where Wei Junyong grew white hair?"

"It seems..." Feng Ruoxing just said "It seems," when Ye Yang waved his hand, "Silence, someone is talking in the tomb passage."

When I listened carefully, I heard something like an argument. I gave Ye Yang and the others a careful gesture and quietly sneaked towards the end of the tomb passage.

Before long, I heard Bai Hanfei's voice, "Special Envoy, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. I, Bai Hanfei, know what I'm doing."

"You know what you're doing, my ass!" The person talking to Bai Hanfei was a red-robed ghost official, "The superiors asked you to intercept Li Po's mission and not give him a chance to borrow a life. What did you do? You sacrificed so many subordinates to break into this useless underground palace. Are you out of your mind?"

Bai Hanfei said, "I've already said it, sorcerers and Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren can fight each other, and they can fight to the death. However, when devils are born, sorcerers should cooperate sincerely to resist the demonic path. I am now..."

"Bullshit!" The special envoy cursed again, "Who are you trying to reason with? Me? Or the civil officials of the underworld? I'm telling you, the superiors want results, not reasons."

"Also, even if we take ten thousand steps back, you're willing to cooperate with Li Po, but is he willing to cooperate with you?"

"As long as Li Po finds Bai Hongzhen's Earth Soul, he can leave at any time. Do you think Li Po will follow you to subdue demons and eliminate evil? Don't be silly. Sorcerers are all selfish people. Who would risk their lives for righteousness after taking advantage?"

"You immediately transfer the remaining troops of the Bai family to hunt down Li Po, perhaps you can save some sparks for your Bai family. If you continue to be stubborn, the Bai family will be exterminated. Is this what you, as the head of the family, want to see?"
