Ch 535: Hey, Punk!

The water in the water pool seemed to have evaporated, revealing the bottom. Countless skeletal remains were presented before the master and disciple.

Some of these corpses looked normal, but some had twisted limbs, and the open skulls clearly showed that they had experienced terrifying scenes before their death.

Even more shocking to Jiang Nanyu was that there were coffins hidden at the bottom of the water pool. These coffins were all bound tightly with thick iron chains. Now, because the pool water had been drained, they were revealed, with red aquatic plants growing on the coffin lids—an eerie sight.

“Master, look, the aquatic plants here are all red,” Jiang Nanyu said, gazing at the coffins at the bottom of the water pool with wonder. This was the first time she had seen such a magical sight.

Chang Yinzi flung his feather duster. It swiftly flew towards the bottom of the pool and soon stopped on a coffin about 70 or 80 centimeters long, standing upright above it.

This coffin was much smaller than ordinary coffins, about the size of a prematurely deceased child’s coffin. However, after looking at it carefully for a while, Jiang Nanyu vaguely sensed something was wrong, feeling increasingly uneasy the longer she looked.

Soon, the small coffin began to shake. Countless killing auras seeped out from the cracks in the coffin, and the surrounding coffins were also affected, shaking constantly. The things hidden inside seemed about to burst out…

Jiang Nanyu and the General moved behind Chang Yinzi simultaneously, silently stepping back a few steps. The human and pet exchanged a tacit glance.

“You two go and take a look.”

After a moment, Chang Yinzi looked back, only to find Jiang Nanyu and the General were already five meters away from him.

Chang Yinzi: “…”

“Master, this dark and gloomy place is our first time here, and you seem quite familiar with it. Why don’t you go check it out yourself? The General and I will wait for you on the shore!”

“Taoist Priest, rest assured, I will protect the Owner!”

“You two good-for-nothing things!”

Chang Yinzi laughed angrily, looking at these two troublesome fellows, wishing he could throw them both into the water pool.

However, seeing that the things in the coffin were about to break free, Chang Yinzi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and flew towards the coffin.

“Is what we’re doing bullying the old man?” the General asked Jiang Nanyu, tilting its head.

“The two of us together can’t beat him. What do you think?” Jiang Nanyu asked back.

The General nodded thoughtfully. The Taoist Priest was the most powerful person in the world; no old man was stronger than him.

“Don’t have any psychological burden. At most, we’ll get beaten up and suffer some flesh wounds. Don’t worry, I have experience!” Jiang Nanyu patted her chest and assured, “We don’t know what’s in that coffin. If an evil ghost or demon bursts out, do you go or do I go?”

Upon hearing this, the General immediately felt it made sense!

It looked left and right, confirming that there were no other immediate dangers. Just as it was about to transform back into a cat and squat on Jiang Nanyu’s shoulder, Jiang Nanyu preempted it: “Let me lean on you for a bit.”

General: ?

It, the Cat King, was not a human’s backrest!

Jiang Nanyu didn’t care. She grabbed it and climbed onto its back, resting her head on its head like a stack of building blocks, rubbing its furry ears, and staring intently at the distant figure.

Chang Yinzi hovered above the water pool, using his body as a formation and his hands as seals. A golden light slowly pressed down, and the originally restless coffins seemed to gradually quiet down under the old Taoist’s power.

The old Taoist came to the small coffin and grabbed the thick iron chain with one hand.

In an instant, a green poisonous mist surged out from the bottom of the coffin, instantly engulfing the old Taoist!

Jiang Nanyu instantly jumped up!

The General also suddenly widened its eyes: “Th-this is…”

The feather fan emerged from Jiang Nanyu’s backpack. If its sword spirit could express human emotions, its expression would surely be one of fear.

“It’s that power! I remember it clearly. It’s the power of the Netherworld Barrier. If I hadn’t cleverly found a spatial crack and hidden myself, I would have already perished inside!”

Jiang Nanyu, as if remembering something, immediately took down the box containing the Seven Star Sword that was tied to her body and carefully opened it.

As she had expected, the rusty Seven Star Sword seemed to have a resurgence of life with the appearance of this terrifying power, vibrating slightly, and the mottled rust on the sword also began to fall off…

Jiang Nanyu carefully took the Seven Star Sword out of the box.

“I don’t know if this little thing’s sword spirit is still alive…” the feather fan couldn’t help but say.

Jiang Nanyu rolled her eyes at it: “Do you know what this is? You have the nerve to call it a ‘little thing’?”

“Isn’t it just an iron sword…?”

“It’s the Seven Star Sword, a magical artifact of the Emperor of True Martial Arts. In terms of seniority, you wouldn’t even qualify to be its grandson.”

Feather Fan: “…”

“Hey, grandson!”

The Demon-Slaying Sword also popped out. The Demon-Slaying Sword, which usually liked to act mature, became a “child” after encountering the Feather Fan, never missing an opportunity to mock it.

The Feather Fan, unwilling to believe it, bounced up and down, carefully examining it again and again, highly skeptical of Jiang Nanyu’s words: “You say it’s the Seven Star Sword, so it is? This sword looks like it would crumble into dust with a single touch. Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?”

“Believe it or not.” Jiang Nanyu said, carefully placing the Seven Star Sword back into the box. At least for now, it looks too fragile; if not careful, it might really crumble into dust. It’s better to wait until the sword spirit is recovered.

“Good disciple, catch!”

A roar suddenly came from the green poisonous mist, and then something was thrown out of the mist by the old Taoist, flying straight towards Jiang Nanyu!

Jiang Nanyu lightly tapped her toes and jumped up, quickly catching the thing thrown out by the old Taoist.

After landing, she looked closely and her face instantly turned black—
