"Don't be afraid. Even if there is danger, I will protect you!" Chen Moxuan's voice was not loud, yet Wu Yinuo felt an unprecedented sense of security in her heart.
The two did not immediately enter the Skeleton Hall; instead, they circled around the grand hall to take a look. They discovered that aside from a door at the front, the other three sides were sealed off. Moreover, aside from the skeletons facing outward, they did not notice anything unusual.
Wu Yinuo, being observant, realized that all the skeletons on this level were You Zuo Skeletons, with no human skeletons present. She shared this observation with Chen Moxuan. After hearing her, he confirmed that it was indeed the case. Previously, he had encountered a mix of human skeletons and You Zuo Skeletons, but now only You Zuo Skeletons filled this space. This could only mean one thing: this place was Yuzhu Daying, and the You Zu had first appeared here.
However, this raised questions. If this was indeed Yuzhu Daying, how had these You Zu died? If they were killed by humans, it was impossible for there to be no human skeletons left behind. Unless the human skeletons had been taken away—then why only those from here and not the ones outside? That reasoning didn’t hold up.
If a peak human expert had entered and killed so many You Zu at once, it would be unlikely that they could have done so without leaving any traces of their own kind behind. Thoughts swirled in Chen Moxuan's mind, each one dismissed as quickly as it arose.
Then he seemed to think of something and said to Wu Yinuo, "I’ll fly up to take a look. Wait for me here." With that, he soared above the Skeleton Hall and continued upward until he reached the highest point of the space.
From this vantage point, he looked down at the surrounding skeletons and was astonished to see that they formed a star-shaped array! Suddenly, a hypothesis emerged in his mind. These You Zu were not killed by humans; perhaps they had performed some sort of sacrificial ritual themselves and ended up killing each other.
Now he needed to verify whether his entire conjecture was correct.
The answer may lie within this Skeleton Hall.
Descending from the sky, I looked at Wu Yinuo, who was filled with concern. Chen Moxuan felt his heart soften a little. He sensed that after spending time with Wu Yinuo, his heart seemed to have undergone some changes.
I just noticed that these Skeletons surrounded the great hall, forming a star array. I suspect that these You Zu died as sacrifices. There might be dangers inside Skeleton Hall. I think it would be better to destroy these You Zuo Skeletons outside before entering Skeleton Hall!
Yes, then let’s work together to break these Skeletons!
Dragon Tiger Unified Capture Technique!
Wu Luo Yan Fo Shou!
Although these You Zuo Skeletons were relatively sturdy, they were already dead. If left to the ravages of time, it would indeed take a long while for them to decay.
Under the combined efforts of Chen Moxuan's Dragon Tiger Unified Capture Technique and Wu Yinuo's Wu Luo Yan Fo Shou, they quickly shattered, turning into pale white ashes.
As these Skeletons were completely destroyed, the Yin Ming Qi Xi within them did not dissipate but instead drifted toward the direction of Skeleton Hall.
Chen Moxuan realized that he could not allow this Yin Ming Qi Xi to float into Skeleton Hall; it could lead to unknown changes within. So he immediately summoned the Kun Qian Kun Blood Gourd to absorb the Yin Ming Qi Xi.
Thus, the two of them collaborated and swiftly destroyed a large number of You Zuo Skeletons. Chen Moxuan did not destroy all the Skeletons; that would take too much time. He only targeted a significant portion of the Skeletons in the direction of the star array, ensuring that it could no longer function.
After completing this task, he turned his gaze toward Skeleton Hall. Throughout the destruction process, he remained vigilant, wondering if any guards might emerge from within Skeleton Hall, but nothing happened.
Are you tired? Do you want to take a break?
No, I haven’t consumed much energy!
Wu Yinuo immediately indicated that she was not tired. The Wu Luo Yan Fo Shou in her hands was far more powerful and agile than when used by Wu Shanshan. This was due to her exceptional talent and comprehension, allowing her to master a martial technique quickly!
Then let’s go in. If you sense any danger you can’t withstand, just move closer to me!
Alright.
Chen Moxuan said this purely out of concern for Wu Yinuo's safety. However, upon hearing it, Wu Yinuo felt a surge of fear.
The main entrance of Skeleton Hall was lined with skeletal jaws facing each other, creating the eerie sensation of stepping into the mouth of a giant skeleton. As Chen Moxuan entered, he immediately sensed something unusual. The Yin Ming Qi Xi within was at least ten times denser than outside.
The most striking feature was in the center of the grand hall, where a powerful You Zu corpse lay in the middle of a red-threaded star formation. Unlike the You Zuo Skeletons outside, this corpse retained its flesh, exhibiting a dark hue. Remarkably, it had three heads and arms.
After observing the corpse closely, Chen Moxuan recalled the information Wu Yinuo had shared about the Youming Clan. He quickly recognized that this was indeed a member of the Youming Clan! No wonder the Yin Ming Qi Xi here was so thick; just by looking at this corpse, it was clear that it was far more powerful than those outside.
Aside from this corpse, the hall was relatively empty, and he couldn't discern any other abnormalities. After a moment's thought, Chen Moxuan turned to Wu Yinuo and said, "I'll check if this You Ming is dead. You stay back for now. If anything dangerous happens, make sure to run straight to the surface!"
"What about you? What will you do if you encounter danger?" Wu Yinuo's eyes flashed with concern.
"Don't worry. My defenses are strong; generally, no one can harm me. Even if this Youming Clan member is still alive, it won't be able to hurt me!" With that bold declaration, Chen Moxuan stepped closer to the Youming Clan corpse.
As he approached, he could feel the powerful aura emanating from the body; it was undoubtedly formidable. He stopped beside the Youming Clan corpse and reached out to grasp one of its arms. The corpse showed no reaction whatsoever.
He then shook the body again, but still received no response. It seemed that this Youming Clan member was truly dead! Perhaps it held some clues that could be useful?
