Meng Die was clearly turning a conspiracy into an open plot, but when she presented her purpose to me without concealment, I couldn't counter her move.

Because she had blocked all my reasons for rebuttal.

Unless I ignored everything and beat her up right now, I wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand.

But I suspected that even if I did beat her up, she wouldn't fight back, or even dodge. Because her goal was too clear. For this goal, she could endure temporary anger.

Moreover, if I really did that, Meng Die would have a way to get back what she lost.

I could only suppress the displeasure in my heart and say, "What do you want to do?"

Meng Die pointed to the Four Great Families standing in the distance and said, "None of them know the secrets of entering the Coffin Gate. So, when they pass through the Coffin Gate, more than 70% of them will be killed by secret techniques. However, there are still 30% of the people who are still alive."

"So, they will soon become our guides. Do you remember what Niu Tianlu said to those who were about to go down the mine?"

I murmured, "Nine enter the earth, eight become ghosts; seven ghosts lead the way, do not follow. If thirsty, drink the Yellow Spring water under your feet; if you don't enter the Yin Capital, you may return."

Meng Die said, "I have repeatedly pondered the four sentences Niu Tianlu said back then. He wasn't giving those people life-saving advice. He was talking to himself. Those four sentences should be the key to finding the Town God Coffin."

"Although Niu Tianlu was a descendant of the Coffin Gate, he was just an ordinary sorcerer. Rashly taking the lives of nine people would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the police. When he couldn't avoid being wanted by the police, he could only create a mine disaster to cover up his purpose."

"Those nine people were the targets he chose."

Hearing this, I asked, "Then what about the letter he left behind?"

"That has to start with Niu Tianlu's son!" Meng Die said, "According to my investigation, Niu Bao's father once went deep into Dead Man's Gully to investigate the mystery of the Town God Coffin."

"At that time, he seemed to have provoked something, which caused Niu Bao to be in danger. Niu Tianlu was not only guarding against the ghosts and gods who were chasing Niu Bao, but also trying to find the Town God Coffin."

"Later, he led eight corpses up the mountain in order to enter Dead Man's Gully."

I said in a deep voice, "What about Niu Bao?"

"Still at the Meng family!" Meng Die said, "I am protecting Niu Bao, and I am also studying the ghost and god tribulation he encountered. So, he hasn't died until now."

I understood what Meng Die meant.

Except for Meng Die, probably no one in the Meng family knew about Niu Bao's existence, so they would instinctively think that the ghosts and gods chasing Niu Bao were dealing with the Meng family.

The Meng family was doing their best to fight against the ghosts and gods, so naturally they had to pay the price. That's how Meng Haoyun was injured.

My initial guess was only half right. Only half of the murderous intent shrouding the Meng family came from the Coffin Gate.

When I looked at Meng Die again, my eyes were full of shock: "You..."

Meng Die smiled and said, "Do you want to say that I am a pervert, a madman, or do you want to say that I am a heretic?"

"You can say anything, because I am a person who uses any means to achieve my goals."

"In order to achieve my goals, I can ignore the deaths of the Meng family's children, and I can also lead the people of the Four Great Families up to die."

"I like being a true villain. I just don't know if you are willing to cooperate with a villain!"

Meng Die put everything on the table, what could be said, what couldn't be said, what could be shown, what couldn't be shown, all in front of me, which made me feel a sense of trust in her.

Basically, Meng Die and I did the same thing. I caught Fang Xuan in order to lure out the Four Great Families and let them be the vanguard, to die, to test how deep the water in Dead Man's Gully was for me.

I have no relatives or friends in the Four Great Families, and the Four Elites of Long Province wanted to trouble me for some inexplicable reason. Why should I indulge their problems?

If they dare to touch me, I dare to use them as cannon fodder. I don't need to think about whether it's a sin or not. If I want to talk about sin, I haven't done anything to benefit the common people since I started. I have committed a lot of killings.

Just like what Jiu Gui told me, if a person lives a lifetime and can't have his way, it only means that you don't have the ability. People who have the ability but still suppress themselves either have a problem with their brains or are hypocrites.

I laughed and said, "You are a heretic, and I am a heretical demon. No one needs to say anything about anyone. It's enough to take down the target and achieve our goals!"

Meng Die raised her hand and touched me: "Next, you and I will cooperate sincerely. My people will use Niu Bao to lure away the ghosts and gods of the Coffin Gate. The rest is how we wade through the Yellow Spring Road ahead!"

Meng Die said, "If we take a few more steps forward, dead people will lead the way for us. If we go the right way, we can pass through the Yellow Spring Road to the Yin Capital. If we go the wrong way, we will die without a burial place."

"The swordsman beside me can pave the way for you a second time. All you have to do is to seize the opportunity."

When I looked at Meng Die with a smile, the latter turned her head and stopped looking at me.
