Jia Yanzhen was not someone who cherished others' lives usually, but when he saw Xuan Yin jump down without hesitation, a surge of anger rose in his heart.
In short, others could die, but he did not want Xuan Yin to be the one who died.
Perhaps it was the time he saw Xuan Yin wearing women's clothes that made him think, what if Xuan Yin were a woman, how wonderful that would be.
Maybe Xuan Yin had a sister or an older sister, then he would have the advantage!
Zhou Jinbai cast a questioning gaze at Jia Yanzhen, feeling that Jia Yanzhen looked very wrong.
He clearly hadn't done anything wrong, so why was this man so angry?
Jia Yanzhen was probably made guilty by Zhou Jinbai's questioning gaze. His previously spirited expression now turned very frightened.
It was only then that Jia Yanzhen realized he had actually gotten angry at his elder brother because of Xuan Yin!
Did Xuan Yin hold such an important position in his heart?
Thinking of this, Jia Yanzhen felt his mood suddenly become very wrong.
"Cough... cough, cough, I just feel... Xuan Yin has followed Big Brother for so many years, why did he just... just jump down like that!"
Jia Yanzhen finally explained with embarrassment, and after finishing, he retreated to the back with a dejected look.
At this moment, the only thing Jia Yanzhen wanted to do was to minimize his presence as much as possible!
Before Zhou Jinbai could say anything, Xuan Yin's voice unexpectedly came from behind the waterfall, "Young Master, you guessed right, there is indeed a hidden world behind this waterfall, and the platform below the waterfall is large and covered with wild grass. You can jump down."
Xuan Yin's tone was full of excitement. In recent years, Xuan Yin had been to many strange and unusual places, but none of them had brought him as much surprise as this waterfall today!
Those standing outside, upon hearing Xuan Yin's words, had expressions of joy and disbelief on their faces.
For them, there were indeed a few who, defying superstition, had approached the waterfall. However, looking at the waterfall before them, they didn't feel much. They simply felt that there was no path ahead. They never imagined that there would be a path behind the waterfall!
"Everyone, hurry and jump down. Let's see what secrets are inside this cave!"
Someone began to get excited and even walked towards the waterfall, then jumped.
Next was the second person, then the third!
Zhou Jinbai also jumped down with Lin Xingwan.
Although everyone was wet, when Lin Xingwan clearly saw everything behind the waterfall, her eyes widened in surprise.
Because behind this waterfall was indeed a very luxurious tomb.
Lin Xingwan didn't know who was buried beneath this mountain, but she felt that anyone who could afford such a funeral must have had a high status in the past.
"There are footprints everywhere here, be careful. After all, the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light."
Xuan Zhu's gaze remained fixed on the footprints on the ground.
The group behind him followed Xuan Zhu.
Although there were many people around, everyone's mood became very tense at this moment. The cave was dark, and the tomb had no light. If there were any floods or fierce beasts inside, they wouldn't know what to do!
Suddenly, a faint sound came from a certain direction.
It was heard by most people.
"Don't kill me... Don't kill me, I don't know anything... Don't kill me..."
Suddenly, a woman's shrill voice rang out from this place. Xuan Zhu and Xuan Yin immediately shone their flashlights at the source of the sound.
To their surprise, they saw a disheveled woman squatting on the ground, clutching her head in pain, looking as if her emotions had completely collapsed.
Xuan Zhu and Xuan Yin exchanged a glance, then spoke to Zhou Jinbai and Lin Xingwan, "Young Master, Young Madam, the situation ahead is unknown and dangerous. It would be best for you to wait here. We will go and check what's happening."
After Xuan Yin finished speaking, he was the first to approach the woman.
However, the woman's emotions became even more fearful and distressed.
"Don't touch me... Don't kill me, I really don't know anything, please don't kill me... I'll do anything... just don't kill me..."
The woman retreated backward while pleading. Xuan Yin noticed that the woman had various wounds on her body, and he began to wonder. The wounds on her body were still bleeding, indicating that she had been injured not long ago.
This meant that the woman was injured after arriving at this place, so there were indeed others in this cave.
And among these others, Xuan Yin felt that Helian Diejin was the most likely possibility!
With this thought, Xuan Yin directly knocked the woman unconscious, then had Xuan Zhu carry her to Lin Xingwan and Zhou Jinbai.
"Young Master, Young Madam, this woman appearing here out of nowhere must be part of a scheme! Moreover, the wounds on this woman are still bleeding. I estimate that she was injured only about ten minutes ago, which means there are still others in the cave. We need to be careful."
After Xuan Yin finished speaking, Lin Xingwan said in a low voice, "I am increasingly certain that the person in the cave is Helian Diejin. You must search meticulously and do not miss any loopholes. We must capture Helian Diejin tonight, otherwise, if this woman escapes, it will be like summoning a devil from hell for many innocent people."
Lin Xingwan's words made Xuan Zhu and Xuan Yin nod in unison. For them, they were determined to capture the person hiding in the dark!
The villagers who followed Lin Xingwan and the others were not as easy to manage.
Seeing how unique this place was, they began to look around.
Some even exclaimed, "Look, I found a gold ingot! Oh my god, this is definitely gold. Look at the color and shape of this gold, it's so beautiful. I've only seen such things on TV before, but now it's in my hands, I'm so happy."
Others also found some treasures, but for Zhou Jinbai and his group, these things were of no interest.
As more subordinates arrived, the entire cave was searched thoroughly.
"Young Master, we haven't found a second person!" After Xuan Yin said this, although he found it very strange, he suppressed his confusion.
Because this space was neither too large nor too small, and with so many people inside, they found nothing, which meant there was no one else here.
"It's impossible that there's no one. Everyone, keep searching carefully."
Lin Xingwan didn't believe it. With all the exits blocked and no news of Helian Diejin escaping, Lin Xingwan had a strong feeling that Helian Diejin was definitely in this cave, but this woman was too good at hiding, and they couldn't find her trace for the moment.
"Alright, let's keep searching. Every place must be searched meticulously." Zhou Jinbai followed Lin Xingwan's words, as he knew that if Helian Diejin wasn't found, Lin Xingwan would never be satisfied.
Lin Xingwan was already holding a flashlight.
She shone the light on a coffin. When she saw that the lid of the coffin seemed to have been moved, Lin Xingwan even walked towards the coffin.
Seeing this, Zhou Jinbai wanted to have his subordinates open the coffin, but Lin Xingwan stopped him.
"Seal this coffin tightly!" After Lin Xingwan finished speaking, the subordinates cast a conflicted gaze at Zhou Jinbai. Zhou Jinbai nodded, and soon the subordinates brought ropes and tied up the coffin.
"I think we've found the person we were looking for. Carry this out!"
For some reason, Lin Xingwan's mood suddenly became cheerful upon seeing the coffin.
She was even certain that Helian Diejin either hadn't entered, or... was hiding in this coffin.
In any case, this coffin would be her only gain tonight!
"Why is Sister-in-law having a coffin carried out for no reason? This scene looks particularly bizarre!" Jia Yanzhen asked Xuan Yin, leaning close. Due to the dim light in the cave, Jia Yanzhen could even indulge his inner wickedness and get a little closer to Xuan Yin.
A faint fragrance emanated from Xuan Yin, like camellia, but if one smelled closely, there seemed to be hints of other floral scents. Jia Yanzhen wondered why a grown man would have a faint fragrance. Could Xuan Yin have a girlfriend?
"What's so bizarre about it? The world is full of wonders." Xuan Yin didn't pay attention to Jia Yanzhen's fuss and instead intended to move forward.
But Jia Yanzhen persisted, "How can a normal person hide in a coffin? And even without looking, one can guess that there's definitely a dead person lying inside! But now, Helian Diejin is inside? It's impossible to even think about it! I think Sister-in-law's intuition must be wrong."
After Jia Yanzhen finished speaking, Xuan Yin sneered, "Helian Diejin is ruthless and cruel. What kind of perverted things can't she do? Have you forgotten how many people have died because of Helian Diejin? This woman has long cultivated a strong heart over the years. Lying with bones that have been dead for who knows how many years, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, the path we entered was so narrow that it's absolutely impossible to carry a coffin out. And we will soon know if Helian Diejin is in this coffin."
After Xuan Yin finished speaking, Jia Yanzhen unexpectedly clapped his hands vigorously, "Good, well analyzed! I am happy that my elder brother has such a capable subordinate like you. Xuan Yin, do you have a sister or an older sister? Introduce her to me?"
After speaking, Jia Yanzhen leaned closer to Xuan Yin again and said, "After all, it's best to keep it within the family."
Xuan Yin felt his temples throbbing, and suddenly he didn't want to deal with this man anymore.
Soon, they came out from behind the waterfall. However, as Xuan Yin had said, the narrow passage could not accommodate a coffin.
"Young Master, Young Madam, what should we do now?"
The subordinate looked at the coffin with a helpless expression.
Zhou Jinbai said nothing, but instead, his gaze fell on Lin Xingwan.
Lin Xingwan looked at the coffin coldly and couldn't help but walk over and give it a forceful kick.
"It seems that heaven wants us to resolve all our grievances here. Since that's the case, who has a lighter? Let's burn this coffin."
Lin Xingwan clearly spoke for everyone to hear, but her half-smile gaze was always fixed on the coffin, as if it contained some monstrous beast.
Everyone was puzzled. Why was Lin Xingwan so interested in this coffin?
Only a few people knew what was contained within this coffin.
"I have a lighter."
"I do too, but I think this coffin looks so beautiful, and the treasures inside must be invaluable. Why don't we not burn it and open it to see what treasures are inside!"
After speaking, a group of people cast expectant glances at the coffin, but Lin Xingwan shook her head, "No, I want to set fire to this coffin and burn it. As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire. If what's inside is good, it will be fine even if it's burned by fire."
After Lin Xingwan finished speaking, she had her subordinates light the coffin.
It was strange to say that although the cave was very humid, the wood of this coffin was very easy to ignite, and the fire on the entire coffin grew larger and larger.
At this moment, Zhou Jinbai glanced at Xuan Zhu, who was standing beside him. Xuan Zhu immediately nodded and kicked the coffin open.
After all, it was something that had been stored for who knows how many years. The wood was very brittle, but when Xuan Zhu kicked it open, the scene before them stunned everyone present.
