"Don't spout nonsense if you don't understand. This isn't opening a yin path, it's borrowing one. We're borrowing the yin energy of these wandering ghosts to shield the yang energy of us living people."

Yuan Shanyuan's voice sounded more reliable. He stared at Luo Tianhe's back, and said with emotion, "Even borrowing a yin path is impressive enough. It's been years since I've seen someone with such methods."

"Then Mr. Luo, has he... has he succeeded in borrowing it?"

Lin Qianqian's focus was on whether she could survive. As for anything else, she didn't want to care, and couldn't care less right now.

Yuan Shanyuan was silent for a moment. When he spoke again, his voice was cautious and carried a hint of unease. "He's succeeded in borrowing the path, but whether we can survive this ordeal is hard to say. The Eight Ghosts Carrying the Coffin is too ferocious, especially with eight headless ghosts who can't be reincarnated. Add to that the main occupant of the coffin, and this group of wandering spirits probably can't stop them."

Lin Qianqian became anxious. "What if they can't stop them?"

"If they can't stop them... hehe, then we'll just have to fill it with our lives."

As he spoke, Yuan Shanyuan's voice suddenly turned gloomy, and his entire demeanor changed, scaring Lin Qianqian into silence.

Before the black cat dead coffin, heads will fill it with lives, will it really end here?

At this moment, facing the approaching coffin-carrying ghosts, everyone's hearts were in their throats. Suddenly, accompanied by a cry of "Not good!" Luo Tianhe, who had been kneeling on the road, suddenly jumped up and turned around to run back.

Before Lin Qianqian could react, he had taken her former position.

The coffin-carrying ghosts didn't hesitate in front of the "human wall" formed by the many wandering spirits. They crashed straight into it. The next second, the incense candles and rice bowls were trampled to pieces, and the wandering spirits blocking the way scattered in all directions. Some who ran slower were directly trampled underfoot, a scene of unimaginable horror.

As expected… they couldn't stop them.

As the coffin got closer and closer, a gust of wind carrying bone-chilling cold swept over them, causing their clothes to rustle and the paper masks on their faces to flap. The paper masks were already soaked with sweat, and now they were like thin sheets of paper pasted to their faces. Through the paper, they could clearly see the fear on the faces beneath the masks.

Li Bai seemed to suddenly realize something, and his face trembled. "No, these ghosts aren't coming for us! Their target is... is the Wu Mansion we came from, the Second Young Master of the Wu Mansion!"

"This coffin is being sent to the Wu Mansion to fetch the Second Young Master!"

"It's actually a living funeral… This is an empty coffin!"

Yuan Shanyuan stared at the coffin, and the source of the unease in his heart was finally found. There was no corpse of the Eldest Young Master in the coffin. The real purpose of these headless ghosts was to carry this empty coffin to the Wu Mansion to find the Second Young Master, and then seal the Second Young Master in the coffin for burial.

Because the person sealed in the coffin for burial wasn't dead, it was called a living funeral.

The importance of the Second Young Master was self-evident. If he died, the mission would fail. So everyone was now faced with an extremely helpless choice: they had to choose one person to fill this coffin in place of the Second Young Master.

No one would ask such a stupid question as whether anyone would volunteer. Everyone wanted to live.

"Life and death are determined by fate, wealth is determined by heaven, everyone… take care of yourselves."

After Luo Tianhe said this, he stopped speaking. But at this moment, Lin Qianqian was cursing this old fellow in her heart. He had made her take his place and stand in the first row, but now he refused to switch back.

But she didn't notice that Luo Tianhe's gaze was already fixed on her back, and then moved to the Fatty's back, a flash of fierce light in his eyes.

As the oncoming wind grew stronger, Li Bai couldn't help but turn his head to remind them, "Everyone, be careful to protect your masks, don't…"

Before he could finish speaking, a muffled groan suddenly came from the Fatty. Then the Fatty began to tremble uncontrollably. Lin Qianqian was standing next to the Fatty and could see clearly that a crack had appeared in the other party's paper mask from the jawline.

The crack was small at first, but it grew bigger and bigger, soon running through most of the face. The Fatty subconsciously turned his head to look for the doctor for a solution, but Jiang Cheng, who saw this scene, also panicked. But he still saw that there was something strange about the mask cracking.

The crack was very neat, as if it had been folded.

But the Fatty's mask was given to him by himself, snatched from Luo Tianhe's hand. It was originally prepared by the other party for Lin Qianqian, how could it…

The next second, Jiang Cheng quickly looked at Luo Tianhe. Even though the other party was hiding it very well, the hint of smugness in the depths of his eyes was still dug out by Jiang Cheng.

He had been tricked…

He used the threshold to play a trick on Lin Qianqian, and this time Luo Tianhe used the mask to play a secret maneuver on him. The latter deliberately let him see the action of tampering with the mask.

In fact, the original mask given to him was the real one, and the one given to Lin Qianqian was the one that had been tampered with. But he took Lin Qianqian's fake mask because of suspicion.

But it was too late to regret it now. He had to find a way to remedy it, there must… there must be a way to remedy it!

But in stark contrast to Jiang Cheng's expression, was Lin Qianqian's expression. Seeing the Fatty's mask damaged, Lin Qianqian didn't even bother to pretend with her excited expression. She looked at the Fatty and Jiang Cheng with a gloating expression. She liked seeing the panicked look on these two people's faces, especially that damned Jiang Cheng, his smug look was really disgusting.

But the next second, her expression changed, because she suddenly felt a chill at the tip of her nose. Then, in the Fatty's gaze, the mask on Lin Qianqian's face also cracked.

"How… how could this be?"

Lin Qianqian was dumbfounded. She didn't even bother to hold the coffin steady. She just used her hands to frantically stick the mask that was about to completely crack back on her face, hoping to reassemble it into a whole. "No, don't… don't do this!"

Seeing this scene, everyone else understood. Jiang Cheng even gave Luo Tianhe a chilling look. This old thing actually tampered with both masks in order to set him up!

No matter which mask he took, it would be the same!

Yao Shunyu saw the Fatty's plight, and looked at Luo Tianhe with uncontrollable killing intent in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, and each cold word was squeezed out from between his teeth: "Mr. Luo, you have good methods!"

Luo Tianhe still had the same indifferent look, sneering, "Yao Shunyu, I don't understand what you're saying. It's true that I gave the masks, but after all, they were taken from the male masks, so some damage is inevitable. Besides, if it weren't for me, neither of them would have a mask to use."

In the midst of the dispute, a bleak light scattered down, making the surroundings seem like they had come to the underworld. When the light fell on the Fatty and Lin Qianqian's faces, both of them couldn't help but freeze. Then their eyes became empty, and they stepped forward in unison.
