Chapter 157: Chapter 119: King vs. King_2

That was a very eerie sight.

And even more eerie was that the Ghostface Man suddenly smiled.

The laugh was low and haunting.

"Ah, it seems I have forgotten you... Compared to that girl holding the map, you seem to have a closer fate with this place... Perhaps, you can open the Ice Coffin,"

Upon hearing this, Gong Jiu and others were all stunned, and the movement of lifting the Ice Coffin also stopped.

Leaning against the wall, Sui Yi’s eyes dimmed, her palms against the uneven surface, and her fingers slightly curled.

After a moment of silence, in the silence, two people tacitly reached an agreement.

The Ghostface Man smiled eerily and whistled. All the monsters and "people" became completely quiet, motionless.

Brother Ma and the others were breaking out in cold sweat; of course, that was not as much as the blood flowing down.

Seeing this scene, Sui Yi nodded slightly, "Okay."

Supporting herself on the wall, she stood up, her face pale as she walked towards the platform, dragging a long bloodstain behind her.

The Ghostface Man watched woodenly, the mask on his face gleaming with a chilling light.

Sui Yi seemed neither to mind nor to fear the other party, and passed just one meter in front of the Ghostface Man.

As she passed by, Sui Yi glanced at the Ghostface Man, and he stared back at her.

A pair of eyes slightly cloudy, with fine wrinkles at the corners of the eyelids...

Appearing somewhat gloomy.

Gong Jiu and the others thought that Sui Yi would take the opportunity to attack but also saw the nine monsters silently gathering behind the Ghostface Man.

Yes, nine.

If one included that ugliest and smallest one.

The nine monsters slowly followed behind Sui Yi, without a doubt, they were monitoring her, or rather, they were ready to receive orders to kill her at any moment!

Sui Yi slowly stepped onto the staircase. With every step, blood dripped down.

Gong Jiu, feeling disheartened, intended to go down and help, but was sharply rebuked by the creatures.

Damn!

Gong Jiu cursed under his breath.

Compared to the previous desperate sprint of Gong Jiu and the others, Sui Yi’s climb was incredibly slow, and moreover, she was being forced to do this.

Gong Jiu and the rest felt the irony of the situation.

Fortunately, Sui Yi finally reached the ninth step.

Leng She sneered, "Let me see, you peculiar woman, what is your relation to the Ancient Tomb!"

Lin Feng said woodenly, "Never thought our lives would depend on you."

Flower Demon: "Don’t even know what to say... Alright, if you really are related to this Ancient Tomb, just share a bit of the treasure with me afterward."

Gong Jiu: "Don’t listen to their nonsense... anyway... if there is treasure, we’ll split it half and half!"

It’s tough for these two women to still be so "brazen with their lives" at this time.

Sui Yi gave the two a glance, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly, as she approached the chilling Ice Coffin.

Before her hands touched the Ice Coffin.

Sui Yi’s lips pressed into a firm line, she was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes to look down at the Ghostface Man.

"Considering before how you tried to stop me from coming to this Ancient Tomb, even going so far as to fabricate a perfectly sound rumor, and not hesitating to send your subordinates to take my material and learn about Gong Jiu’s plan... now your attitude might let me understand that you really are out of options...," Sui Yi narrowed her eyes, staring at the Ghostface Man.

The Ghostface Man’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this, an icy light flashing in his eyes.

Gong Jiu was also stunned.

The meaning of Sui Yi’s words was...

Then, everyone heard Sui Yi sigh with a very cool tone, "Right, Seventh Uncle?"

Seventh Uncle!!!

Feng Sha’s eyes widened.

"Sui Yi, who are you saying he is? That old man from the village?"

Seventh Uncle, Feng Sha had seen him many times in Sui Yi’s village. Each time, he seemed to be just an ordinary old man, no different from other elderly people, showing a side full of hatred towards them, even hitting that scumbag Ye Zhang with his walking stick, and panting after a few steps...

That old man, is he the Ghostface Man now?

The one who has been playing them all?

Damn!

That’s no joke!

The Ghostface Man initially did not speak; after a moment, he growled in a deep voice: "You know I didn’t destroy the material but stole it?"

Stole the material? Gong Jiu arched an eyebrow, it seemed that the first document sent to Sui Yi was on the computer, right? Saying that Seventh Uncle, an old man from the village, stole the material seemed very discordant, to say the least of a mindless creature.

So Gong Jiu was curious as to why Sui Yi said that.

However, Sui Yi did not elaborate on this point. It seemed she had some concerns, and she just changed the subject and said: "All the legends and rumors in the village were to keep the villagers from approaching the Ancient Tomb, from discovering any clues, and scaring others away. In this way, this Ancient Tomb, so profound and full of secrets, remained undiscovered for so many years. But you didn’t expect that Ye Zhang would break the silence. He brought Gong Jiu and those people, several forces of power, strong and well-equipped. You made moves repeatedly, infecting some with Corpse Poison to solidify the rumors but failed to drive these people away, even letting them take the venom. You feared they would find out something you didn’t want known, and break the rumor, revealing the truth about the Ancient Tomb. However, you learned from other sources about the Treasure Map in Gong Jiu’s hands, so, you harbored the thought of monopolizing the tomb’s treasure, thus... you set this plan in motion, luring all of us here, weakening us step by step, forcing us to come here... Of course, this Ancient Tomb was not built by you alone, but it’s an inheritance passed down from the ancestors of the Ye family. The underworld has always existed, yet the Ancient Tomb was built under the name of Ye Zhang’s father’s death... you told me when he died, there was a bizarre incident of the corpse disappearing. Maybe, he was not dead at the time, just conspiring with you to set up a big lie."

Rumors? Feng Sha’s expression darkened, damn it, this village’s deception is intricate!
