In fact, Qin Yi really hoped that there would be a little girl lying in the coffin, and then he could give her a new Law Treasure to play with, so that he could keep her by his side happily...

But I know perfectly well that it was just a beautiful dream.

They didn't even dare touch the coffin. According to Liusu's theory of Body Seizing, if you directly come into contact with that kind of body, it's easier for the door to be pried open and something bad to happen.

Qin Yi tentatively tossed out the Joyful Buddhist Beads, placing them in front of the coffin to form a dimensional shield.

Then, realizing it might be unreliable, she turned to Ju Yunxiu and asked, "Senior Sister, do you have any items that can ward off evil spirits?"

Ju Yunxiu blinked. "Draw one right here?"

"... Never mind, the attributes are different." Qin Yi said, "Shall we give it a try first?"

A weak voice sounded beside Li Qingjun: "The Startling Dragon Jade Pendant."

Qin Yi was overjoyed. "You're awake? How are you feeling?"

"It's nothing, just like I took a nap. I'm still a little groggy, but it's nothing serious." Li Qingjun rubbed her head. "This kind of soul overdraft is really severe."

Qin Yi was reluctant to tell her that Feng Bulie had only suffered minor injuries from her sword strike, while she herself had been unconscious for so long.

For Tengyun to challenge Qianyuan, a battle spanning two major realms, was truly like throwing an egg against a rock. The fact that it managed to throw Feng Bulie into disarray and successfully trap him in the Painting Realm's sneak attack was already its greatest achievement.

We haven't won yet, and we still need to find a solution.

And the coffin in front of us is very likely to be Qian Yuan's.

Most people would have felt hopeless and powerless, but fortunately, everyone present was a very resilient person who would actively try to find a solution.

Li Qingjun helped Qin Yi to his feet and took off the Startling Dragon Jade Pendant: "This is a treasure of Huiyang that my master obtained during his travels more than a hundred years ago. It has extremely strong power to suppress demons and evil spirits, and can even frighten away dragons, hence the name Jinglong (meaning 'frightening dragon')."

Qin Yi leaned back. "This thing is actually a treasure of Huiyang! I thought it was some kind of talisman that Li Duanxuan made casually, or at most a Law Artifact, but it turns out to be a Law Treasure."

"It's a true Law Treasure." Li Qingjun smiled. "So think back to that Corpse Worm Demon back then. It was just a lowly spirit demon that hadn't even taken human form yet. Of course, even a slight touch would be terrible. It didn't need us to activate any power. If it could be activated on its own, it could rival Huiyang's power, and it would be especially effective against Fairies and ghosts. That's why the Xiao King wanted to seize it, hoping to use it to resist Cheng Cheng. It's even more useful than their own Law Treasure."

It all came together. Qin Yi thought to himself that it was not easy for this Jade Pendant to Southern Li for twenty years without being discovered and forcibly seized by cultivators. Back then, Liusu wanted to say "I want it, I want it" as soon as she saw it. At that time, he was not close to Liusu and ignored it... As a result, it attracted the Xiao King and led to the destruction of the country. The cause and effect of this was truly hard to explain.

Li Qingjun activated the Startling Dragon Jade Pendant, placing it above the coffin. With the Buddhist beads for defense and the Startling Dragon Jade Pendant for suppression, Qin Yi was well-prepared before attempting to open the coffin remotely.

Just then, Ju Yunxiu's painting began to tremble, and a faint aura of bloodlust began to emanate from it.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

This place must be the intersection of the Main Plane and the Netherworld Realm, causing the intersecting energies of the two realms to constantly interfere with and disrupt the planes. The plane of the painting is of a lower grade, which has affected it, resulting in a slight flaw. But that's all; it won't expand any further.

This Feng Bulie, waited for a while and found that the solidity of the boundary would not weaken any further. However, this weakening had given him the confidence to break through the boundary, so he began to forcefully break through it!

"Thump!"

Energy had already begun to dissipate. Qin Yi reached out to block it, but even this small amount of spilled energy was enough to knock him back several steps.

Then a chilling divine feeling spread, and Ju Yunxiu found herself unable to hold the painting.

Breaking the barrier is imminent!

Qin Yi's mind raced, and he said urgently, "Use the painting to open the coffin!"

Ju Yunxiu understood immediately, thinking to herself that he really was a little thief.

The scroll flew out of his hand and hit the edge of the coffin lid, opening it slightly.

Feng Bulie felt a shocking impact inside and immediately assumed that Ju Yunxiu was exerting pressure. With a sharp shout, he fired a bone arrow with all his might towards the direction of the impact.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp, piercing aura emanated from the painting, viciously rushing into the coffin.

The moment the coffin was opened, an extremely cold and malevolent aura emanated from it, accompanied by a mournful howl, and rushed out.

The power of the bone arrow clashed fiercely with the chilling power within the coffin. Ultimately, the bone arrow, merely a wisp of residual power emanating from the painting world, was no match for the power within the coffin and was knocked back.

Feng Bulie, amidst the painting world, coughed up a mouthful of blood, his heart filled with horror.

How come they have the power of Qian Yuan again? Qin Yi and the others actually still have Qian Yuan Magic Treasure at their disposal?

In any case, they wouldn't have the strength to make another move. Feng Bulie a deep breath and unleashed his true trump card once more: a Blood Fight.

The boundless Blood Qi had just appeared when it withered all the plants and trees in the painting world around him, and then quickly spread to the surrounding mountains and rivers, turning them all blood red.

Feng Bulie Law Treasure is a filthy artifact crafted from the blood and souls of countless wronged souls. Touching it is fatal; flesh and soul will be reduced to pus and ashes. Even he himself cannot use such Law Treasure lightly, as even a single use would result in a devastating backlash.

This is One Drum of Energy, even if it means serious injury, to break through the barrier!

In reality, the world outside of painting is completely different from what he imagined.

In Feng Bulie's mind, Qin Yi and the others, exhausted and wounded, each holding their Law Treasure, nervously surrounded the shaking scroll as if facing a formidable enemy.

In reality: Inside the coffin, Qin Yi and the others each held their Law Treasure, staring intently at the coffin.

The coffin lid was completely opened, and the chilling impact suddenly reversed, turning into a terrifying suction force, as if it wanted to suck everything into the coffin.

The prayer beads emitted a light, completely blocking the suction force, and then, with a "crack," they slightly broke.

Qin Yi gasped. The Radiant Sun-grade Buddhist beads were almost destroyed in that instant! Fortunately, the suction force was neutralized, and everyone was unharmed. Only the scroll that had been thrown out earlier was sucked into the coffin.

Meanwhile, the Startling Dragon Jade Pendant above burst into vibrant colors, its divine light shining down. The gloomy, malevolent Yin Qi within the coffin, about to burst forth, was swept away by the divine light and forced to fall backward.

At the same moment, the painting that had been sucked in emitted a bloody ferocity.

The malevolent, Yin Qi exploded violently, and the two evil, chilling energies clashed once more within the coffin. The Yin Qi dissipated, and the bloodthirsty energy surged back.

"Pfft..." Feng Bulie spat out another mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, completely in disbelief.

What's going on? Why are the attacks from outside getting stronger with each one? And this last attack is practically suicidal. The opponent will be completely annihilated. Could it be that someone on Qin Yi's side has sacrificed themselves for righteousness?

Without seeing what's going on outside, one can only guess; there's no way to understand the logic behind it.

"Squeak!" The monkey is here again.

"Get lost!" Feng Bulie, both hurt and angry, and punched the monkey a thousand miles away.

The painting depicts a roar, and only then does the tomb fall completely silent.

The coffin was completely silent. Even the ghostly aura had vanished due to the collision and dissolution with Feng Bulie. The Spiritual Qi was abundant, and the water flowed gently, making the whole atmosphere somewhat peaceful.

Qin Yi and the other three looked at each other, put away their Buddhist Startling Dragon Jade Pendant, and slowly moved to the coffin to take a look.

Inside lay the corpse of an old man, whose appearance remained unchanged after ten thousand years; his body had indeed not decayed, but he had no soul.

The attack was right next to him, exploding at close range, yet his body remained completely unharmed. Protected by the nether energy of this place, coupled with his cultivation during his lifetime, he was practically immortal.

He's completely dead; his soul has dissipated, making resurrection impossible. Unless his soul reincarnates and finds its past life memories someday, it might return to do something. Preserving the body is simply for this purpose; the imagined conspiracy doesn't exist.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. Creating such a closed space, with all sorts of mazes and fake tombs, is certainly not to lure people in Body Seizing, but rather to genuinely preserve one's own remains.

The attacks we just witnessed were merely the restrictions that tomb raiders had to overcome to open the coffin; they weren't some kind of conspiracy at all.

However, the terrifying restrictions that should have been enjoyed by tomb raiders were all devoured by Feng Bulie.

"So..." Qin Yi looked down at the image of Feng Bulie roaring to the sky in the painting and couldn't help but say, "He really is a good person."
