The corpse demon said softly, "I need to find someone, someone who can help me remember everything. You are the one I'm looking for."

I couldn't help but frown slightly. "How do you know that I'm the one you're looking for?"

The corpse demon said, "Someone told me to wait here for a person with a cross-shaped scar on his shoulder. Isn't that you?"

I subconsciously touched my shoulder. "Who asked you to look for me?"

"He said he was a person who came out of a coffin!" The corpse demon said, "Without my guidance, no one can enter my courtyard. But he came in, appearing silently before my eyes."

"He told me that you would appear one day, and he asked me to prepare a coffin to receive you. When you come, I will be able to remember everything."

I said in a deep voice, "Since that person is so divinely prescient, why didn't he take you out himself?"

The corpse demon replied, "I asked him the same question. He said that he wasn't the one to save me, and even if he could foresee everything, he couldn't take me away. But I couldn't keep him here, so I could only wait."

"Waiting for you to appear!"

I asked again, "Didn't that person tell you how I should take you out?"

The corpse demon shook her head. "He said that as long as you take me out, that's all. He didn't say anything else."

Before I could ask any more questions, the corpse demon took the initiative to say, "If you don't take me out, I won't let you leave."

The trace of dominance in the corpse demon's words left me with no way to refuse.

Refusing her meant certain death!

"In that case, come with me!" As I walked forward step by step, my mind was racing, trying to recall the entire course of events.

I was sure that I had missed something in this game!

I suddenly stopped. "I haven't asked your name yet."

The girl in black said, "Is a name important?"

"Of course!" I replied. "How can I take you out if I don't know your name?"

The girl in black said in a deep voice, "Are you saying that you want to call the master's name and take her away? How is that different from driving a corpse? Insulting the master? You're looking for death!"

I turned around with my hands behind my back. "If you don't want to go out, then pretend I didn't say anything!"

The girl in black wanted to argue, but the corpse demon stopped her. "My name is Ye Wei Yang!"

My mind exploded in that instant, but on the surface, I pretended to be calm and said, "Do you know Ling?"

Ye Wei Yang rubbed her head and said, "I seem to... I seem to have heard of this person..."

"You haven't seen any Ling!" The girl in black said urgently. "We haven't seen anyone for many years. How could you..."

Before she could finish her words, Zi Ye, which I had hidden behind my back, suddenly came out of its sheath and stabbed straight at the girl's heart. My blade was as fast as lightning, but the girl's figure turned into a cloud of black smoke just as my blade was about to touch her clothes.

The moment Zi Ye's blade pierced through the girl's black clothes, billowing smoke spewed out from the girl's collar and sleeves. The curved blade in my hand only pierced through a piece of clothing and didn't hurt the girl's body at all.

As I stood there with my blade, the girl's voice echoed from the empty tomb, "How did you discover that this was a trap?"

I raised my blade and carefully guarded the clueless corpse demon. "Because her name is Ye Wei Yang. Who exactly are you?"

The girl replied, "I am the master's guardian spirit fox. You can call me Xiao Xuan. There is an agreement between Ye Wei Yang and the master."

"She exchanged herself for the master to leave. Before the master returns to pick her up, she cannot leave. You've already seen the person, you can leave!"

I quickly caught the source of Xiao Xuan's voice. "I'm afraid that wasn't the original agreement, was it?"

"The agreement between them should have been that someone could take Ye Wei Yang away. Am I right?"

Xiao Xuan laughed heartily, "So what if you're right? So what if you're wrong?"

"Back then, they used a trick to lure the master into this tomb and imprison her. A place that even the master can't leave, how can she, a mere mortal, leave?"

I sneered, "You still want to lie to me at this point?"

I had originally wanted to trick Xiao Xuan, but to my surprise, Xiao Xuan laughed and said, "You're right! The master is just too cautious. You're already standing in the tomb. What else can't be said?"

"I'm too lazy to beat around the bush with you. Let me tell you the truth! Ye Wei Yang is just bait for fishing, and you just happen to be the fish."

"The master is the pride of Ao Xue Sect, and the person with the cross-shaped scar on his shoulder is the master's life tribulation. Only by eliminating this tribulation can the master complete her mission."

"This tomb is more of a preparation for you than it is for the master. Only when you die in the tomb will everything end, and the master will be able to escape safely."

I said in a deep voice, "The corpse demon hasn't left the great tomb for many years. How does she know who her life tribulation is, and when will they come knocking?"

"That was a deal the master made with someone else. You don't need to know about that. The content of the other party's transaction was to use the exact time of the arrival of the life tribulation in exchange for the master leaving Ye Wei Yang here forever."
