Chapter 378 The Black Box
The roses bloom in vibrant and alluring colors, while the silver candlesticks cast dancing shadows.
The magnificent hall was flickering with candlelight, while a black lead coffin exuded an aura of curses.
Hanging upside down, teleporting, and stealthy attacks are impossible to hide from under the sunlight.
The cross of justice pierced his heart, and he sheathed his fangs to face judgment.
Flames extinguish the delusion of resurrection; the vampires will never enter the cycle of reincarnation again.
Countless bones and wronged souls lie buried within the coffins, their schemes and plots hidden there for millennia.
A little girl's head was carved on the exquisite lead coffin. Shen Yao slapped the coffin lid open, and sunlight streamed into the coffin. The little vampire inside let out a sharp, piercing scream: "Chirp..."
Her pale skin was corroded by the sun and visibly turned black.
Shen Yao plunged the cross into her heart with a thud, and after she stopped struggling, she quickly cut off her head and burned her body.
The movements were fluid and graceful, and the other cultivators were the same.
They cleaned up all the hundred or so lead coffins in just fifteen minutes.
Perhaps it was because Shen Yao and her group were too strong, and they just happened to know how to restrain themselves.
These vampires are utterly vulnerable.
It's completely useless.
After killing the vampires, they set out to find the secret treasure.
The murals on the wall were nothing special; they all depicted vampires feasting on blood.
Feng Yufei observed the coffins on the ground from mid-air: "Father, could these coffins be some kind of formation?"
A golden halo swept across the coffin. Huo Die and Feng Yu exchanged a glance, understanding and agreeing with each other's views. The father-in-law and son-in-law then began to manipulate the coffin to move.
One hundred and thirteen lead coffins, each with a different portrait carved on it.
There were seven coffins for girls, six coffins for boys, fifty coffins for adult girls, and fifty coffins for adult boys.
Over the years, Huo Die has taught Feng Yu many formations, all of which are star formations from beyond the heavens.
They quickly figured out the pattern.
The seven women are the seven stars, and the seven stars suppress the six points of light.
Six men form the array points, with women and men balancing yin and yang.
This is a hexagram array containing a seven-star array.
Since the hexagram array was suppressed by the seven-star array, the seven-star array must be destroyed.
However, they couldn't guarantee what the six-pointed star array would summon after the Seven Star Array was destroyed.
Shen Yao used her spiritual power to form a rope loop and hung the two long crosses around her neck.
She drew the God-Slaying Blade from her waist and said confidently, "Yunhe, destroy it! No matter what you summon, the God-Slaying Blade can cut it down."
The cultivators unanimously agreed to destroy the seven stars and activate the six-pointed star array.
Feng Yu summoned seven spirit swords and simultaneously destroyed the seven coffins of the girls.
The girl's coffin shattered into powder under the attack of spiritual power, and the lead powder was collected by Feng Yu into her spirit bottle.
As the last grain of lead powder was removed, the remaining 106 lead coffins, with the portraits carved on their lids, began to weep blood and tears.
Blood and tears flowed onto the ground, connecting along the cracks in the bricks, and the six-pointed star array was activated.
The lead coffin trembled and clanged, and the hall was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Six beams of black light emanated from the six boys' coffins, intersecting in the air to form a black dot.
The black light disappeared after a short while, and a black square box appeared out of thin air at the point where they converged.
The black box slowly descended, and Huo Die raised his hand to draw it into his palm, holding it up with his divine power for everyone to see.
The black box looked very ordinary, with no carvings or decorations except for three engravings, two long and one short.
Shen Yao and Tu Xiaoxiao looked at the box and both gasped, their hearts leaping into their throats.
Feng Yu asked with concern, "Yanzhou, what's wrong?"
Shen Yao and Tu Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance and replied, "This box is the same as the black box I opened in the illusion of the merman demon's calamity."
They look the same, but whether they are actually the same is hard to say.
In short, the black box cannot be opened now.
Huo Die added a seal to the black box and put it into his storage space: "Go out and ask the tower spirit."
The blood in the cracks between the bricks had dried, rendering the six-pointed star array useless.
Feng Yu used her spiritual power to pulverize the lead coffin into powder and collected the lead powder into a spirit bottle.
Lead is a rare material, but it has a wide range of uses and has always been a scarce material.
Huo Die thought for a moment, then used his divine power to wipe away all the murals on the wall.
After the mural was wiped away, everyone discovered that the wall behind it was actually made entirely of silver bricks.
Shen Yao scraped the floor tiles with her spirit blade, and soon scraped off the coating: "The floor tiles are also made of silver."
There's no doubt anymore; apart from the black crystal wall at the entrance and the obsidian door, the entire underground space is definitely made of pure silver.
They searched several more times, and after confirming that there were no hidden formations or monsters, they returned the way they came.
Shen Yao pulled Feng Yu to pick roses.
She parted the thorny vines and scraped away the mud on the wall with her spirit blade: "It really is made of silver bricks."
After picking a few roses, she suddenly remembered that when she arrived, the passageway was filled with ugly red-winged three-eyed bats…
These flowers might have been swept away by a bat's wing...
Thinking of this, she felt disgusted and threw the flowers on the ground. She then took Feng Yu's hand and cast a cleaning spell on each other.
Tu Xiaoxiao gazed intently at the towering pile of dragon bones before stepping into the passage.
Back at the entrance, Shen Yao looked at the empty door and said hesitantly, "Dad, I always felt that the obsidian token would be useful. The inside has been cleaned up, so we don't need to put the door back, right?"
Huo Die thought for a moment and said, "Let's go out and discuss it with the Long family first."
Passing by the Obsidian Teleportation Array, Shen Yao first entered the portal space, had six light energy puppets guard the space, and sent Hai Mu back to Jinli Residence.
Yu Zhuo and Yu Yue also returned to Chongcheng to report their safety to Jiang Ming.
The head of the Long family and Grandpa Long the Third were both guarding the back door of the Trial Tower.
Seeing them emerge safely, the members of the Long family were all smiles.
After hearing about what was happening inside, the head of the Long family took the second daughter of the Long family and led a group of cultivators in to investigate.
Grandpa Long invited them to the stone house opposite the Trial Tower.
Grandpa Long San beamed with joy: "Yao Yao, did you encounter the Blood Demon inside? Did you obtain the true secret treasure?"
Shen Yao gave an awkward smile: "We got a black box, but we don't know if it's a real mystery treasure."
As she spoke, Huo Die took out the black box.
Shen Yao reached out to take it, but Huo Die handed it directly to Tu Xiaoxiao.
There's no other reason than that I don't know the details yet and dare not let my daughter touch it.
Tu Xiaoxiao held the black box but did not hand it to Grandpa Long San: "Grandpa Long San, this box is the same as the one in the prophecy of the merman demon bringing disaster to the world. Yao Yao and I have both seen the illusion, and it is exactly the same."
"It's hard to say whether it's the same box or not. If it is, then the Blood Mist Monster is sealed inside."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Long withdrew his hand that was about to take the box: "This... how should this be authenticated?"
Tu Xiaoxiao put away the black box and stood up: "I'll go ask the tower spirit."
Grandpa Long said, "Based on our previous reasoning, how do you determine whether what the tower spirit said is true?"
Tu Xiaoxiao replied, "Don't worry, Third Grandfather, I have my own methods."
Grandpa Long thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Let's go, Grandpa Long will take you to invite the tower spirit."
We all went to the top of the tower together.
Before Grandpa Long San could invite the tower spirit, the entrance to the tower bead appeared at the top of the tower: "Please come in alone, fairy."
Feng Yu felt a chill run down her spine. Over the years, whenever she and Yan Zhou separated, nothing good ever came of it.
He immediately reacted: "No."
The usually gentle man spoke sternly: "Either we go in together, or I'll use a spirit-guiding array to pull you out."
