Chapter 3346 - 3346 Why Are You Safe and Fine?
3346 Why Are You Safe and Fine?
“Because you’re a ghost cultivator and we’re good cultivators. You killed people, so you can’t be allowed to live,” Leng Xiaoyao said coldly. Ghost Cultivators were more evil than evil cultivators because their main goal in cultivation was to devour human souls. It was even more despicable than evil cultivators devouring the souls of demons.
When a human died, his soul could enter the cycle of reincarnation, but the existence of demons wasn’t allowed by the heavenly rules. Therefore, once they were devoured, they were gone.
If ghost cultivators only devoured evil ghosts, it would be fine, but unfortunately, they directly devoured the souls of living people.
After Leng Xiaoyao joined Li Mochen, they quickly suppressed the ghost cultivator and finally killed him.
Li Mochen was seriously injured, while Leng Xiaoyao suffered minor injuries.
After the ghost cultivator was destroyed, the evil power that had been absorbing people in the ancient tomb disappeared.
“Brother Mochen, are you alright?” Leng Xiaoyao quickly supported Li Mochen. She couldn’t help crying because she was too worried. Li Mochen didn’t know what to do.
“Don’t cry, I’m fine, really.” Li Mochen immediately hugged her to comfort her. “And you. If I were strong enough, you wouldn’t have to risk yourself and get hurt for me.”
Li Mochen felt guilty. As a man, he should be the protector of his loved one and prevent her from being harmed, but he failed to do so.
Leng Xiaoyao sniffed. “You just haven’t regained your abilities yet. Once you do, this ghost cultivator won’t stand a chance against you.”
“Right, I’ll work hard to regain my abilities as soon as possible. I won’t let you risk yourself again,” Li Mochen said.
“Great!” Leng Xiaoyao nodded in agreement. Although she wasn’t someone who needed to grow under a man’s protection, Li Mochen’s words made her feel warm.
However, when she realized that she was being hugged by Li Mochen, Leng Xiaoyao immediately got up from his arms. She panicked a little.
Li Mochen was a little disappointed, but this wasn’t the time to pay attention to that. “The two workers who were sucked in earlier have had their souls taken away. The one who was sucked in later is still alive but unconscious because the ghost cultivator didn’t have a chance to devour him yet.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it. We’ll have to compensate their families more,” Leng Xiaoyao said. It was already the best outcome that only three people were sucked away by the ghost cultivator. After all, they encountered a ghost cultivator. “How are we going to explain these two people and the constant shaking on the ground just now?”
Li Mochen thought for a moment and said, “We can say that we don’t know. As for the shakes, we can say that there are mechanisms in this ancient tomb. They were triggered and caused the quakes.”
“Sure.” Leng Xiaoyao answered.
Then Leng Xiaoyao helped the unconscious person out, while Li Mochen dragged the two dead workers outside.
Although Li Mochen was seriously injured, he was still able to drag them out.
The people above were very worried. When they saw Leng Xiaoyao come out, they were all surprised.
Although many people wanted them to be fine, they really didn’t think they would come out safely.
They were all curious about what had happened, but no one dared to approach the hole. Only Xu Zijie dared to approach a little more. After all, this was his construction site. Even if he was afraid, he couldn’t just leave.
“What happened?” Xu Zijie asked eagerly.
Leng Xiaoyao came up first, then dragged the person up. “This man is fine. He just fainted, but the other two are dead.”
Even though they had thought that no one would come out alive, when they heard that two people were dead, they still felt sad.
“Ask two men to go and help Brother Mochen,” Leng Xiaoyao said.
As soon as other people heard that, they all stepped back a few steps, afraid of being asked to help Li Mochen. They were worried that they would also be sucked in.
“Um… ” Xu Zijie was in a dilemma when he saw their reaction. He was also worried that someone else would be sucked in. However, he had to do something. “I’ll go!”
Leng Xiaoyao didn’t say anything either. Their fear was understandable. After all, the accident happened right in front of them.
After Xu Zijie nervously went to the entrance of the cave, he found that he wasn’t sucked in. “This cave…”
“This tomb has been sealed for a long time. When it was just opened, there was a magnetic field pressure. It would suck people in. After being ventilated for a long time, the magnetic field pressure should have decreased.” Leng Xiaoyao explained, which also explained why she and Li Mochen could enter on their own.
After learning that the strange power of the cave had disappeared, some people immediately gathered around.
“Miss, what was the ground shaking just now?” asked the old archeology expert.
“There is a mechanism inside. We triggered it by accident, causing the quakes,” said Leng Xiaoyao.
Upon hearing that, the old expert became excited and wanted to study the mechanism.
However, he also realized that the existence of a mechanism meant that it was dangerous, so he was hesitant.
Before they could ask more questions, Li Mochen brought up two men who looked withered all over. Everyone was frightened. Even Xu Ziji forgot to go and take them.
Leng Xiaoyao was annoyed and had to go by herself.
Xu Ziji followed her but was rejected by Leng Xiaoyao with a not-so-good tone. “I can do it myself.”
Xu Ziji was slightly embarrassed. He knew that he was wrong. Leng Xiaoyao and Li Mochen came to help him, but he didn’t do well. Therefore, he didn’t mind Leng Xiaoyao’s tone.
After the two bodies were brought up, Leng Xiaoyao pulled Li Mochen up.
In a fight between cultivators, they mostly suffered internal injuries. Therefore, Li Mochen only looked slightly messy on the outside and didn’t seem to be badly injured. No one cared except for Xu Ziji. He asked with concern, “Brother Mochen, are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
“No need, I’m fine.” Li Mochen refused. He needed rest and recuperation. It wouldn’t be helpful if he went to the hospital.
“How did these two people end up like this?” The old expert finally came back to his senses and asked.
“I don’t know. We saw them like this when we went down,” said Leng Xiaoyao.
“Why did they die when they went down, but you didn’t?” Qian Feng, the man who was previously scolded by Leng Xiaoyao, questioned with malice.
Other people were doubtful too.
“Do you want us to be dead too? We didn’t die because we have the ability to protect ourselves. What? You don’t have the ability, so you don’t want to allow others to have it either? And as I said earlier, the tomb has been sealed for a long time, so when it was just opened, there was magnetic pressure and people would be sucked in. After being ventilated for a long time, the magnetic pressure decreases. If you don’t believe it, I can take you to go see it.” Leng Xiaoyao retorted like a porcupine. She didn’t hesitate to scold Qian Feng.
“You…” Qian Feng was displeased. He obviously didn’t dare to go inside.
Upon hearing that, others didn’t dare to question it either, afraid of being dragged in and experiencing it themselves.
