Chapter 411 Don’t move
“Container…” Although Yin Rui really didn’t want to hear it, when these two words appeared, a few lines of text suddenly flashed through his mind.

Many years ago, no, at least two hundred years ago, when he was still a naive young man, he ignored his mother's advice and secretly entered her medicine hut. He saw it in a very old book.

At the time, Yin Rui didn't have much interest in this thing. He was dragged out of the house by his mother as soon as he read the word "container".

"What, kid, have you heard of him?" Old Ghost had sharp eyes and immediately noticed Yin Rui's thoughtful expression.

"No, no, I've only seen these two characters in some old books I've read before, but I haven't had the chance to read them properly, so I really don't know much about this container." Yin Rui didn't hide anything and directly explained his situation.

"What containers? I don't have that much time to waste here with you. I came here today firstly to repay a favor to you, old man, and secondly to witness some things firsthand. Now that I've done what I needed to do, I should be leaving." The One-Eyed King of Hell looked rather impatient.

As he spoke, he glanced in Xiao Yu's direction. But that one look sent chills down Xiao Yu's spine.

For a moment, she didn't even know if he was looking at her or if he was glancing at everyone in her direction, including her, Lu Yiran, Wei Chengshuang, and even Yin Rui and his group.

"What, little girl, are you scared?! Don't be afraid of me, we have a deep history! When you get to Qiming City, don't forget to come find me, and I'll definitely give you a decent gift! Hehe..."

Although the one-eyed Yama was right in front of her, Xiao Yu felt that the man spoke in a ghostly tone, with a faint, other voice in his voice, like the dry and powerless voice one hears when a withered tree is being torn apart.

But Xiao Yu felt that Ci Ran probably had other motives; who would promise a gift right away?

“Senior, that may be true, but I have no reason to visit you again. Let’s make things clear today, so as to avoid…”

"Giggle!"

But before Xiao Yu could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a sinister voice.

It was a dry, crackling sound, like bones rubbing together, and the source of the sound was Qin Lin's body on the other side.

"You!" Upon seeing Qin Lin's ribs suddenly hunch, Xiao Yu could no longer hold back and immediately roared.

The snow sword in her hand flashed instantly. Although her spiritual power was almost depleted, the unknown power that occasionally surged after consuming Yin Rui's pills still made Xiao Yu want to fight with all her might. She had to take Qin Lin's body back no matter what!

He had already stepped into a deep pit, and it looked like he was about to rush out, but Old Ghost suddenly blocked his way.

"Don't move." He didn't make any obstructive movements, but he stood in front of Xiao Yu, it was unclear whether he was blocking Xiao Yu or the other person.

"Uncle Ghost! How dare he!" Xiao Yu's voice trembled with extreme anger.

Lu behind him was still unconscious, and the extent of his injuries was unknown. Qin Lin in front of him was covered in blood and was emitting sounds of bones cracking. Just imagining it made one realize how much pain he must be in.

"Listen to me, don't move, or you'll regret it, and he'll never wake up again..." Old Ghost spoke each word slowly and clearly in a hoarse voice, afraid that Xiao Yu wouldn't hear him clearly.

However, with the two so close, how could they not hear each other? Xiao Yu froze, her hand holding the sword trembling uncontrollably.

She finally realized that the old ghost was deliberately hiding from her sight, because from Hu Tao'er's expression, Xiao Yu roughly understood that the person known as the One-Eyed Yama was probably performing some special magic.

He was saving Qin Lin, saving Qin Lin's already broken body.

"Heavens, is this even alive?!" Fox Peach seemed unable to bear it any longer and simply turned her face away, but she was still very curious, so she covered her eyes with her hands and only dared to peek through her fingers occasionally.

"Xiaoqing, I advise you not to come out. Just stay inside and behave yourself. You don't want to see this!" Fox Peach shouted at Big Gray while covering her eyes.

Only then did Xiao Yu realize that a small bottle had appeared around Big Gray's neck at some point. The bottle bore a flower-like rune that was now flashing with a bluish light, as if something was about to emerge.

Judging from Fox Peach's tone, she guessed that Lin Keqing was probably recuperating inside. As for Xiao Yu herself, she was naturally very clear that even if she wanted to get past Old Ghost now, he probably wouldn't allow it.

The creaking sound continued for a short while, then the air suddenly became quiet.

A heavy breathing sound was heard, and the One-Eyed Yama exhaled deeply.

This sound made Xiao Yu's heart tighten suddenly. Unable to suppress her worry, she bypassed the old ghost and came to stand in front of him.

"Ah Lin..." Xiao Yu's voice was hoarse. Although Qin Lin's expression still seemed strange at this moment, it was indeed his body, and she couldn't help but call out his name.

"Ahem, alright, this kid is lucky. His body hasn't been ruined after being tormented by that Black Demon Lord so many times. I don't know if it's the favor of the heavens or the cruel trick of fate... But it's really not easy for him to get to where he is today. Don't make him push his body too hard in the future..." One-Eyed Yama suddenly sighed for some reason.

His gaze even glanced in Xiao Yu's direction, but his eyes were so strange. He seemed to be looking at Xiao Yu, but he couldn't really focus. He looked completely odd.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu frowned instantly. They had only just arrived here, and this pair of people had already been injured or killed. Now, the body of the person most important to her was being possessed by this one-eyed Yama, who was saying things that left her completely bewildered.

I really don't know if these words were meant for Xiao Yu or for Old Ghost, because the one-eyed Yama's gaze seemed to be fixed on everyone.

"Stop thinking about it. I'm talking to both of you. One is young and ignorant, and the other is old and disrespectful, and loves adventure. If you two meet again this time... you're doomed, doomed again!" The one-eyed Yama's tone was full of sinister meaning, making Xiao Yu's head ache.

For some reason, his voice now sounded more like a beehive to Xiao Yu, giving her tinnitus and a headache, and making her want to leave this place immediately.

However, as if the other person could read minds, their gaze suddenly sharpened, and their eyes suddenly became clear and bright. Those eyes suddenly focused on Xiao Yu's face, which was filled with disgust.

"You're right to be annoyed by me, but it's okay, I'm leaving soon, hehe!" he said with a wicked smile.

Xiao Yu was angry, but she still politely clasped her hands in a fist and palm salute: "Then I won't see you off, senior. Goodbye!" Her tone was quite impolite. Although she knew that this person had saved Qin Lin, she was going to hate him until he left Qin Lin's body.
