Chapter 228

I watched as the black shadow in the video covered my eyes with its hand.

My own eyes followed suit, suddenly blackening as a pair of icy hands covered them from behind.

Ye Weiyang's voice came from behind me, "Just a name was enough to deceive you? And you think you can become Master's life劫 (jie - calamity)? How laughable!"

I said in a deep voice, "Are you the black fox?"

Ye Weiyang chuckled softly, "Is there anyone else here besides me? Master's life劫 (jie - calamity) should be eliminated. Since you're here, I should send you on your way."

I asked again, "You have to let me die knowing why, right? Who exactly told the corpse魅 (mei - spirit), that I am her life劫 (jie - calamity)?"

"Cang Tianji!" Ye Weiyang said, "South Weiyang, East Apang. Cang Tianji of East Apang said you are Master's life劫 (jie - calamity), so you must die. And, I'm not called Ye Weiyang either. Cang Tianji said to use this name to deceive you, and you would surely fall for it."

As the black fox spoke, the ten fingers of its hands exerted force slightly.

"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed!" As I sneered, flames erupted from behind me, and the sudden burst of fire sent the black fox flying.

At the moment the black fox flew up, I took off a button from my front and threw it on the ground. As the button landed, cracks spread across the ground, and a killing array instantly took shape.

The black fox screamed from a distance, "How could you see through me?"

"Because you're too stupid!" Naturally, I couldn't tell the black fox that I had known to be careful. When Ling was tapping on the coffin outside, she used Ye Yang's technique. She was telling me that there were traps in the tomb, but also a key to breaking them, and that I should be careful.

Later, I asked Ling how she knew about the method of communication between me and Ye Yang.

Ling told me that she deduced it.

Ling had always been in the Aoxue Sect, and had seen the scene of Ye Yang sending me messages.

Ling said: as long as she could guess what Ye Yang wanted to say, and then match it with the frequency of Ye Yang's finger tapping, she could guess about eighty percent of the code between us.

In addition, the information Ling gave me was not complicated, so I could naturally understand what she meant!

I had been paying attention to everything in the tomb since I came down from the tomb passage. When the black fox first pretended to be ignorant of the world and wanted me to relax my vigilance, I was already suspicious of its motives. How could I be easily fooled?

When the black fox later revealed the name Ye Weiyang, I could already be sure that it was not Ye Weiyang.

Would someone who had forgotten everything still remember their name?

The black fox said sharply, "What if you see through me? You still can't get out of this ancient tomb."

I laughed and said, "You underestimate the successor of Guizhenzi too much. My killing array can use one array to trigger all others. As soon as the killing array under my feet is activated, the seven arrays in the tomb passage will soon be activated, and the entire tomb will be destroyed along with me."

"Your master's main body should also be in the tomb, right?"

As soon as I finished speaking, seven loud tremors came from within the tomb. The deafening and murderous sounds traveled from the first turn in the tomb passage towards the entrance of the tomb. After the last explosion, the sound of the 断龙石 (duan long shi - stone gate) falling could actually be heard outside the tomb passage.

My heart sank suddenly: the tomb passage was sealed!

The black fox screamed, "What did you do? The seven magic arrays in the tomb passage have already been broken by the master, how could you..."

"I'll tell you when you come out!" In fact, I was also afraid. The arrays passed down to me by Guizhenzi were powerful, but too singular. Moreover, no阵法师 (zhen fa shi - array master) can break an array without being in it personally. If I didn't trick the black fox out to help me, I wouldn't be able to break through the seven great killing arrays.

But the black fox's voice disappeared at this time. I knew it hadn't been forced to the point where it had no way to retreat, so I could only continue to stalemate with it.

What I didn't know was that the closure of the tomb passage actually triggered the arrays outside the tomb passage. Near the 风雪眼 (feng xue yan - eye of the snowstorm), wind rose and snow fluttered, and large swaths of snow poured down over the ancient tomb.

Outside the ancient tomb, corpses already littered the ground. Shen Qingbai, who was still fighting, saw the blizzard pouring down on the 风雪眼 (feng xue yan - eye of the snowstorm) of the tomb, and shouted with her sword raised, "The 风雪眼 (feng xue yan - eye of the snowstorm) is moving. For the sake of the sect, hold the tomb passage and don't let the walking corpses go back to reinforce it. Kill!"

Shen Qingbai's long sword danced in the snow, and her tears also scattered in the sky with the sword light.

Shen Qingbai killed and cried at the same time. Killing was for the sect, and crying was for the dark guard disciples.

One by one, the dark guards fell in pools of blood. Before their blood could soak into the ground beneath them, it was covered by the pouring blizzard in the sky.

Shen Qingbai couldn't help but cry. Those dark guards were all disciples she had trained herself, all people who were as loyal to the Aoxue Sect as she was.

They had dedicated their lives to the sect, and the loss of each one would make Shen Qingbai's heart ache.

But they could not retreat.

Ling watched Shen Qingbai, who was fighting wildly, from a distance and slowly raised her hand, "I want this person! You find a way to arrange it."

Ling seemed to be talking to the air, but someone in the void behind her responded, "Leader, Shen Qingbai is loyal to the Aoxue Sect, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be difficult to subdue her."

Ling smiled and said, "It's precisely because she is loyal that it's easier to subdue her. Give her a little reminder. Let her return to the Aoxue Sect."

"Yes!" Not long after that person's voice disappeared into thin air, Shen Qingbai's long sword pierced into the chest of the last walking corpse.

After that sword, the other person's blood spurted out, but Shen Qingbai was stunned on the spot.
