Chapter 1 The True Face of the Drought Demon

After Mr. Mo finished off Qiao Yu and the others, he knelt down in front of the stone coffin again.

He muttered to himself, seemingly performing a new ritual.

Along with his voice, the coffin lid of the stone coffin began to tremble, as if something inside was awakening.

"We're done for, Yu-ge (brother)! What do we do now? We're all controlled. Who's going to stop that old man?" Yang Xiangdi said anxiously.

"Not necessarily!" Zuo You raised her head and looked at Gu Yuan and the others beside her, "The fact that they appeared beside us at this time means that the turning point may be with them!"

Qiao Yu's eyes lit up, and he poked Gu Xiuxuan, who was closest to him, with his elbow.

"Hey, are you still alive?"

Gu Xiuxuan: "..."

Gu Xiuxuan's mood was very complicated at this time. After chasing corpses his whole life, this was the first time he had encountered a corpse taking the initiative to talk to him.

It was like a proctologist being glanced at by an anus.

Gu Xiuxuan: "Speak, I can hear you."

Compared to Gu Yuan, whose face was covered in blood, Gu Xiuxuan's condition was obviously much better.

"Don't worry, we're not enemies. We're here to stop the Drought Demon from reviving as well," Qiao Yu said.

"Drought Demon!" Gu Xiuxuan's eyes widened, and his lips trembled uncontrollably, "Are you saying that the Emperor's corpse in the stone coffin is a Drought Demon?"

"What's wrong? Are Drought Demons strong?" Yang Xiangdi scratched his head in confusion.

Gu Xiuxuan couldn't help but tremble.

"When a Drought Demon appears, the land will be scorched for a thousand miles. It's one of the Four Great Corpse Ancestors…"

"If he is born, not only will we die, but the people of the world will not have peace!"

"No wonder… no wonder I smelled a baleful aura before the coffin was even opened! So it was the Corpse Ancestor inside!"

In the next moment, Gu Xiuxuan seemed to have made up his mind.

He raised his head to look at Qiao Yu.

"Whether you're human or a corpse, the most important thing now is to stop the Drought Demon from reviving! I'll undo the forbidden curse on you first."

Gu Xiuxuan bit his finger and drew a strange talisman on Qiao Yu's back.

Then, he bit the tip of his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto Qiao Yu's back.

Gu Xiuxuan's hair visibly turned gray.

"Alright! With this Spirit Unbinding Talisman and my pure Yang essence blood, corpse control techniques will be ineffective against you for a short time!"

Qiao Yu put on the Yaoguang Knuckle Dusters and rushed out.

"Stop him!"

Mr. Mo shouted, and dozens of baleful corpses blocked Qiao Yu's path.

These baleful corpses were fearless and had steel bones, and for a while, Qiao Yu couldn't break through this line of defense.

"Brothers, what are you waiting for?"

Gu Xiuxuan shouted, and the other corpse herders also bit the tips of their tongues and wrote Spirit Unbinding Talismans on Zuo You and the others.

"Yellow Spring Earth Swamp!"

Yang Xiangdi waved his staff, and the ground under the feet of dozens of baleful corpses instantly turned into a swamp.

Shi Yimin and Shen Si, as assassins, immediately seized the opportunity to bypass the baleful corpses and attacked Mr. Mo from the left and right.

"No one can stop Master from reviving!"

Mr. Mo's face was ferocious. He stepped forward and hugged the stone coffin directly.

Shi Yimin and Shen Si's weapons also left two through-and-through bloody holes in Mr. Mo's body.

"Not good! We can't let that coffin be stained with human blood!" Gu Xiuxuan shouted.

But it was too late.

Mr. Mo's blood flowed out, quickly staining half of the stone coffin red.

Mr. Mo's aura became increasingly weak, but his eyes became brighter.

He shouted with his last breath.

"Using the essence of descendants as sacrifice, using the blood of descendants to cleanse the coffin, I beseech the Heavenly Emperor, to be reborn into the world riding the dragon's aura!"

After shouting these words, Mr. Mo's blood flowed even faster, as if an invisible hand was squeezing his body outward.

The originally somewhat chubby Mr. Mo became a dried corpse lying on the stone coffin.

"What will happen if that coffin is stained with human blood?" Zuo You turned her head and asked Gu Xiuxuan.

Gu Xiuxuan's face was pale, and it was unclear whether it was from blood loss or fright.

"If it's stained with human blood… the Drought Demon inside might really revive!"

Zuo You: "Then is there any way to remedy it?"

Gu Xiuxuan pondered for a while. First, his eyes lit up, and then he slowly shook his head.

"If there were a Spirit Suppressing Coffin here, we might be able to suppress the Drought Demon into the Spirit Suppressing Coffin, and then supplement it with black dog blood and other evil suppressing items."

"But as things stand, where can we find a Spirit Suppressing Coffin now?"

Qiao Yu, who had just finished dealing with the corpse fiends, suddenly had a strange expression.

Sure enough, Zuo You's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this.

"We have a Spirit Suppressing Coffin!"

Zuo You turned to look at Qiao Yu.

"Quick, Qiao Yu, take out the Spirit Suppressing Coffin!"

Qiao Yu blinked his eyes and looked innocent.

"Suppressing what?"

"The Spirit Suppressing Coffin!"

"Suppressing what coffin?"

"The Spirit Suppressing Coffin!"

"What spirit coffin?"

Seeing the baleful aura visibly rising from Zuo You's body, Qiao Yu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"The Spirit Suppressing Coffin… was smashed by me…"

Zuo You: "..."

Zuo You: "Why did you smash it?"

Qiao Yu: "I was thinking, look, this thing can suppress all corpses. What if we get suppressed? If we smash it, won't we be suppressed? "

Zuo You: "… Didn't you think that the Drought Demon is also a corpse, and the Spirit Suppressing Coffin is used to deal with the Drought Demon?"

Qiao Yu spread his hands: "No!"

"Then what do we do now? Because of your mistake, all our hard work these past few days has been wasted? The mission is for nothing?" Shi Yimin began to question Qiao Yu.

Although Shen Si and Gong Zhen didn't speak, their expressions were also a bit ugly.

On the other hand, Shi Shaorong, who had a grudge against Qiao Yu before, stood quietly aside.

"Perhaps there is another way."

Gu Yuan, who had been unconscious, finally woke up at this moment.

"What way? Tell us quickly!" Shi Yimin pressed.

"Open the coffin first!" Gu Yuan said.

"What?" Shi Yimin's face changed drastically, "Are you crazy, old thing? You know there's a Drought Demon inside and you still want to open the coffin?"

"Only while the Drought Demon hasn't awakened do we have a chance to seal him again. Otherwise, once the Drought Demon awakens, he will still break out of the coffin!"

Gu Xiuxuan's expression was complicated. He had already guessed what his senior brother was going to do.

"Crazy! Whoever wants to open it can go open it!"

Shi Yimin cursed. He had already been left with a psychological shadow after being choked by the neck as soon as he got close to the coffin.

"I'll do it."

After Qiao Yu approached the stone coffin, there was no change. The hand in the coffin did not reach out again.

Zuo You held the Dark Star Shield and stood beside Qiao Yu, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Rumble!

Qiao Yu pushed hard, and the stone coffin instantly opened halfway. Everyone's nerves were tense, and the entire Emperor's Tomb was so quiet that even breathing could be heard.

After pushing open the coffin lid, Qiao Yu looked inside the coffin, and his pupils instantly shrank to the size of needles!

"Is this the true face of the Drought Demon…"
