Chapter 286 The Secret of the Third Eye

As Nie Xiaochun and I jumped from the tower, the Yellow Springs water had already engulfed half of it, rising past the waists of Lin Zhao and Lin Xian.

The lotus-shaped auras emanating from their bodies possessed a bizarre beauty, enveloping the Yellow Springs.

The waves of ghostly pressure radiating from them seemed to exceed the limits of a warlock, on the verge of being assimilated by the Yellow Springs Lotus.

Nie Xiaochun and I leaped onto nearby coffins. "Xiaochun, cover me! I'm going to take a look."

"That's the Yellow Springs water! You'll be reduced to bones!" Nie Xiaochun stamped her feet in anxiety. "Don't be foolish at a time like this. If you're gone, Liangjie Tang will collapse."

I knew the consequences, but what else could I do?

Was I supposed to watch Lin Zhao and Lin Xian have their bodies burst open by the Yellow Springs Twin Lotus?

In desperation, I unfurled the Soul-Chasing Rope, preparing to lasso Lin Zhao's neck when I felt a ball of fire-like light hurtling down from the sky.

I instinctively dodged backward, and the fireball plunged into the water.

Blinding golden light shot upwards from beneath the water, and I could only shield my eyes with my hand, protecting Nie Xiaochun by pressing her firmly against the wall.

The golden light in the water lingered for a long time, and the Yellow Springs water seemed to boil instantly, the sound of bubbling lasting endlessly around me.

When I finally managed to open my eyes, I saw the remains of the Three-Eyed Taoist floating in the water, the vertical eye between his brows now a gaping hole, yet still staring at me.

Ye Yang landed beside me at that moment. "The eye in the middle is in my hands."

When Ye Yang produced the vertical eye, a chill ran down my spine. "Throw it away, quick!"

Before I could finish speaking, my vision blurred, and I stood there as if I had lost consciousness.

The same thing happened to Ye Yang.

Nie Xiaochun was at a loss, unsure of what to do.

She kept calling our names, but Ye Yang and I, dazed, each stepped onto a coffin, drifting into the water and forming a cross-shaped formation with Lin Xian and Lin Zhao.

In the center, beneath the constantly churning water surface, something seemed to be controlling the four coffins.

Nie Xiaochun was well aware of the terror of the Yellow Springs water.

The only thing she could do was stand on the shore and observe our movements.

It wasn't until Old Liu came down from above that she found someone to rely on.

After listening to her, Old Liu's face turned extremely gloomy. "The Gui Guan Sect, the main lineage of the former Coffin Sect, is even more mysterious than we imagined."

Nie Xiaochun said anxiously, "It's already this late, and you still have time to sigh? Why aren't you thinking of a way to save those two dogs?"

Old Liu shook his head. "They've already been sealed into coffins. Apart from self-rescue, no one can help!"

Before Nie Xiaochun could ask further, Old Liu said, "The real coffin of the Gui Guan Sect is that third eye of the Three-Eyed Taoist. However, even the disciples of the Gui Guan Sect themselves don't know the purpose of the third eye."

Nie Xiaochun said impatiently, "Aren't you talking nonsense? How could the disciples of the Gui Guan Sect not know what their own sect has?"

Old Liu replied, "That's not strange. It's like many people don't know how much their old man has saved up."

"It's not uncommon for the sect leader to pass away before he can tell his descendants the core secrets. And…"

Old Liu changed the subject. "I also suspect that the Three-Eyed Taoist deliberately left behind the secret of the Three Eyes."

Old Liu explained, "The Nine-Coffin Taoist Ye Qianyang, although a hero of the martial world, was a man of great affection. Even when faced with the betrayal that the Loose Coffin Hermit spoke of, he was willing to win him back."

"Would he not have made arrangements for his most mediocre disciple?"

"I suspect that the Ghost Eye is actually something Ye Qianyang left for the Three-Eyed Taoist."

"The Three-Eyed Taoist refused to explain this, perhaps so that the descendants of the Gui Guan Sect could prove themselves to the world of warlocks through their own abilities."

Nie Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good then, at least it's Ye Qianyang's thing, so Ye Yang can still control it."

"If that's the case, the Master and the others will be in even greater danger." Old Liu shook his head. "When a person's obsession reaches its depths, I'm afraid they'll become unrecognizable even to themselves."

"The Three-Eyed Taoist might be like that!"

Nie Xiaochun said anxiously, "Then quickly think of a way to save those two dogs!"

"I'm thinking!" Old Liu's fan involuntarily sped up. "Let me think again, think again."

Old Liu's guess was not wrong!

After a period of trance, what I saw was still the coffin tower submerged in water.

But Ye Yang walked towards the Yellow Springs water right before my eyes. I watched as Ye Yang's toes touched the water surface and quickly pounced on him in fright, "Are you crazy?"

Ye Yang held my arm with one hand and stepped into the water himself!

I almost closed my eyes, because I knew that the living could not enter the Yellow Springs. No matter how strong a warlock's body was, it would be instantly dissolved upon contact with the Yellow Springs water.

I was afraid that if I didn't close my eyes, what I would see was Ye Yang's foot turning into green smoke.
