Seeing Yu Huang jump in, Sheng Xiao jumped down without hesitation.
The old dean stomped his feet and said in embarrassment, “You opened someone’s tomb! How wicked!”
Although it was immoral, the old dean still jumped in.
The underground palace was pitch-black and nothing could be seen clearly.
Sheng Xiao took out a moon-colored night pearl and raised it high. The dark light in the cave immediately dimmed.
Yu Huang’s vision was excellent. She saw white skeletons neatly arranged in the pit. These skeletons were fixed with a wooden board so that they were in a kneeling position.
Sheng Xiao said, “It’s a conviction pit.”
The conviction pit was a kind of array formation set up with the corpses of a group of criminals who had committed heinous crimes when they were alive. This array formation could imprison the souls of criminals and torture the souls of criminals after they died over and over again, making them repent and atone for their sins until their souls dissipated and their bones were weathered to ashes.
Although Yu Huang hadn’t attended many array formations classes in the Divine Realm Academy, under Lin Jiansheng’s request, she had long memorized many array techniques.
Yu Huang knew about the conviction pit.
It was obvious that this was Su Xuanye’s doing.
Yu Huang saw that there was a wooden sign on the back of these corpses. There seemed to be words written on it. She lowered her head and blew away the dust on the wooden sign. She saw a row of words written with a red pen—
Sinner Su Qunshan.
......
The old dean also came over. He saw the sign clearly and immediately explained, “Su Qunshan was the last patriarch of the Su family of Kui Mountain. He was also Su Xuanye’s father.”
“Tsk.”
Yu Huang clicked her tongue twice and said, “He’s even unwilling to let go of his father’s remains. It can be seen that Su Xuanye really hates the Su family to the core.” Yu Huang couldn’t help but think that if her mother was treated like this, she would do the same.
“Su Xuanye must hate the Su family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have planted the Spirit Restraining Parasite in the Su family back then.” When the old dean mentioned Su Xuanye, his expression was extremely complicated. He had lived a hard life when he was young. If Su Xuanye hadn’t helped him, he would have died long ago.
The old dean respected and hated Su Xuanye.
However, Su Xuanye had done many evil things. From the moment he placed the curse fruit in the Prosperous Capital, he went against all the cultivators in the world.
Even if the old dean was indebted to Su Xuanye, the old dean wouldn’t go easy on him.
Sheng Xiao counted the bones on the ground and found that there were 45 bones on the circle line, but there were 46 sinner wooden tablets. He pointed at a corner of the circle and said, “There’s an
additional wooden tablet there.”
Yu Huang walked to the wooden sign and squatted down. She blew away the dust on the wooden sign and softly read out the contents of the wooden sign. “Sinner Su Xuanye.”
After he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the underground palace.
Sheng Xiao frowned. He said with a complicated expression, “Su Xuanye gathered all the Su family members who had eaten the flesh and blood of the Peacock Demon. He wanted their souls to suffer hundreds and thousands of years of torture. He wanted them to apologize to his mother. The last sinner was himself.”
In Su Xuanye’s heart, the one he couldn’t forgive the most was perhaps himself. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
At this moment, the old dean heard a faint cry.
The old dean narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark underground palace. He said, “Is there anyone else inside? Why do I hear someone talking?”
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao listened carefully. Indeed, they heard someone talking.
Yu Huang followed the voice and realized that the voice came from behind a wall. Yu Huang touched the wall and knocked on it. It was empty.
The old dean said, “Move aside. I’ll do it.”
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao moved away silently. The old dean clenched his right fist and punched the indestructible stone wall.
The stone wall instantly shattered into five to six pieces and fell to the ground.
The three of them quickly covered their mouths and noses with their hands.
After a while, Sheng Xiao raised the Night-Luminescent Pearl. Under the dim light, the three of them saw the scene in the secret chamber.
It was actually a wedding room!
On the stone wall of the wedding room, there were two paper cutouts with the word ‘celebrate’ on them. Beside the word, there was an ancient-style red wedding dress. On the stone bed, there was a red wedding blanket with a weak soul body lying on it.
The woman’s soul was locked by the Soul Locking Rope. She couldn’t escape even if she wanted to. She was already extremely weak.
