Of course, Niu Tianlu’s matter was just my guess.

What kind of scheme was laid out on the Coffin Gate remained a mystery.

Like the secret burial in Corpse Ditch, was it a legacy for future disciples of the Coffin Gate, or a trap set by them?

Was the spirit guardian waiting for a true disciple of the Coffin Gate to arrive, or did it want to secretly scatter everything here into the world of術道 (Shu Dao – art of Tao)?

Who could make an accurate judgment?

The Coffin Gate, Greed Wolf, and Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren seemed to have always had some kind of connection. When the truth appeared, it would be earth-shattering.

I wasn't sure if taking something from here today was a blessing or a curse.

At that time, I even felt it would be a good thing if those corpses couldn't pull anything up.

While I was lost in thought, the eight walking corpses had already dragged a pitch-black coffin onto the ground.

The spirit guardian raised its hand and pointed at the coffin. Another eight corpses walked over, surrounded the coffin, and simultaneously exerted force to lift the coffin lid. As soon as the sound of coffin nails being forcibly pulled from the wood reached my ears, a loud noise came from inside the coffin.

An incomparably powerful air current swept out from inside the coffin, tearing the eight walking corpses at the forefront into pieces. The air current, mixed with fragmented corpses, rushed towards the corpses dragging the coffin, cutting another eight corpses in half at the waist before converging into a torrent of blood and flesh that slammed towards me.

As I crossed my twin sabers to block the bloody air current, I suddenly felt a gust of wind heading straight for my dantian (energy center).

The real killing move wasn't the bloody air current, but the gust of wind hidden within it.

I didn't have time to think, and I abruptly lowered my twin sabers to protect my dantian. In the next instant, a loud crash erupted on my twin sabers.

Under the impact of an irresistible force, my body slid backward several meters, with earth and stones flying left and right under my feet.

In just a few seconds, my toes sank several inches into the ground, and my body was bent into an arched shape as I desperately resisted the incoming force, yet I was still being pushed backward.

"Withdraw! Jump up!" Ye Yang shouted, and a sword came from the side.

I saw Ye Yang's long sword strike something behind my twin sabers, sending sparks flying. The pressure in front of me lessened, and I instinctively jumped upward.

What I didn't expect was that as soon as my body leaped into the air, I felt a sharp pain in my leg. I fell to the ground, blood flowing freely from my thigh.

When I looked down, I saw a golden coffin nailed to my leg. Judging from the part of the coffin that was exposed, the entire golden coffin was probably only three inches long, and the part that had penetrated my leg was about two inches.

I covered the wound with my hand and pulled the coffin out of my flesh little by little, cold sweat rolling down my forehead like a stream.

"Hold the coffin and don't move!" As Ye Yang took out wound medicine to bandage my wound, the spirit guardian stared blankly at the coffin in my hand.

A few seconds later, the spirit guardian actually covered its face and began to sob, looking like a wealthy man who had been robbed of his entire fortune.

It was reluctant to part with the coffin in my hand!

I grabbed the coffin and looked at it several times, finally seeing two篆字 (zhuanzi – seal characters) on the bottom of the coffin: "镇神 (Zhen Shen – Suppressing God)."

I couldn't help but gasp and hurriedly transmitted my voice to Ye Yang: "Did we pick the Zhen Shen coffin? Do we want this coffin?"

Ye Yang glanced at the coffin: "No! It's dangerous!"

I also felt that the Zhen Shen coffin was too hot to handle in the Two Realms Hall.

The Zhen Shen coffin involved too many things. Taking it was like inviting endless trouble upon ourselves.

I leaned on Ye Yang's arm and stood up, hobbling to the spirit guardian: "I'll return this to you. It's useless to me."

The spirit guardian was stunned for a moment before grinning and quickly taking back the Zhen Shen coffin. Then, it directed the walking corpses to pull up the coffins.

The first coffin came up, and the spirit guardian didn't even look at it, kicking it into a puddle in the distance. The coffin quickly disappeared at the edge of the puddle, seemingly washed into the outer waterway.

Then, the second and third coffins were kicked into the water by the spirit guardian one by one. By the time Ye Yang had completely treated my wound, the spirit guardian had dragged up a purple coffin about one and a half meters long from the sinkhole.

Apart from being small, the coffin didn't have anything special about it.

The spirit guardian held the coffin and looked at it for a long time before handing it to me with a gesture of acceptance.

I knew that this was the spirit guardian's compensation to me.

I wanted to see what was inside the coffin, but then I thought, what if there was nothing inside, or just some worthless things? Wouldn't we both be embarrassed?

I simply smiled at the other party and handed the coffin to Ye Yang.

The spirit guardian seemed relieved that I had accepted the coffin and personally escorted Ye Yang and me out of Corpse Ditch. On the way, I casually searched Meng Die’s body and took away her Yellow Springs Leaf.

The spirit guardian knew that I was searching for treasure on the body, but it pretended not to see anything and sent us all the way out of Corpse Ditch.

When I cupped my fist and bid farewell, the other party made a gesture to me.

It meant: Don't come again.
