“I’m currently experiencing some health issues and may be unable to use any magic, nor can I have any contact with you to avoid being infected. Please set up a barrier here to prevent others from getting close, lest they also come into contact with this coffin and get infected like I did.”

After instructing everyone to take a series of protective measures, Zhang Hao led them out of the deep sea.

Emerging from the sea, Zhang Hao's eerie aura had not yet dissipated. In fact, because he was walking in the seawater, his terrifying presence made him look like a demon from hell from afar.

The little koi fish's heart trembled at the sight.

"This is really terrifying. Maybe you should... maybe you shouldn't go out for now? I think if you go out like this, you might scare the children to tears."

Zhang Hao glanced at the little koi fish with annoyance: "Are you that afraid of me?"

"You're the one who's terrifying right now. Can't you have some self-awareness? If you're bored, I can stay at the hotel and keep you company."

The little koi fish spread its hands, looking very righteous, and said.

Zhang Hao was speechless. Was this some kind of pointless nonsense?

"The energy contained in that coffin was extremely malevolent. If my cultivation had not been profound enough, I would probably have been completely annihilated by that terrifying power by now. This malevolent aura reminds me of that faceless person from before. There might be some connection between the two... Well, there's no time to lose. I need to go to the underworld immediately."

Knowing the gravity of the situation, Zhang Hao went directly to the underworld.

This time, he went to the underworld with several companions.

The King of Hell was reviewing recent affairs in the King of Hell's Palace when he saw him suddenly arrive. Thinking something serious had happened, he quickly put down his pen.

"What happened?" Yama asked anxiously.

"I discovered a peculiar coffin in the deep sea of ​​the southern ocean..."

Zhang Hao's appearance startled Yama, but he quickly explained the situation. After understanding the situation, Yama asked him to produce the recorded video.

Zhang Hao showed a series of images of the coffin that he had previously recorded.

After reading it, Yama frowned slightly, somewhat uncertain: "This thing does look familiar, but we're not entirely sure. We need to send someone to investigate in other dimensions. For now, keep things stable and don't cause any major trouble. We'll notify you as soon as we find out anything."

After pondering for a moment, Yama made an arrangement that seemed relatively safe and without any flaws.

Zhang Hao also felt that this was the only way to proceed for the time being, so he nodded slightly: "Then I'll wait for your news. You must remember to notify me immediately if you find anything, otherwise something big will happen to me sooner or later."

It was an inexplicable intuition, but Zhang Hao had a vague feeling that the coffin might cause a lot of trouble.

In the past, it was this intuition that had allowed him to escape danger time and time again. And this time, that intuition was reminding him of something as well.

Therefore, it's always better to prepare in advance.

The King of Hell took his words to heart and solemnly promised him, "I will let you know as soon as there is any progress on my end, so don't worry too much."

Having received Yama's assurance, Zhang Hao led his men away from the underworld.

Throughout the entire conversation, the men he brought didn't utter a single word; they simply watched Zhang Hao quietly.

Only after leaving the underworld did Chen Anshui exclaim, "I really didn't know how capable Mr. Zhang was before. Seeing you and the King of Hell speak to each other on equal footing today, I am completely impressed."

Han San was already used to this kind of situation and wasn't particularly surprised. What worried him more was the coffin. He glanced at Zhang Hao's cold, menacing appearance, his brows furrowing slightly, his expression grave: "Can't you get rid of this look now? If so, it won't be convenient for you to move around in society. The way you are now, you'll definitely be reported to the police station if you show your face. Moreover, the energy you've acquired is extremely stubborn; even the King of Hell can't remove it. I'm afraid this is no small matter. What are your plans now?"

All Zhang Hao can do right now is try his best to stabilize the current situation and prevent it from getting out of control.

"Just like we discussed with Yama earlier, let's maintain this state for now. In short, don't make any rash moves, especially before we fully understand the details of that coffin. Nobody should do anything reckless."

Zhang Hao solemnly reminded everyone, using himself as an example, and warned them never to secretly investigate the coffin.

Because his current state was so bizarre and frightening, Zhang Hao simply concealed himself on the way back.

He has no choice but to remain hidden—with his current ruddy complexion and devilish appearance, his appearance would definitely cause social panic.

After returning to his residence, Zhang Hao went into his room and slowly circulated his internal energy, trying to dispel the evil energy in his hands.

As expected, the effect of the cleanup was minimal.

It seems that to completely eliminate this energy affecting appearance, the coffin must be destroyed.

The problem is that the energy emanating from that coffin is far too strong. Forcibly destroying it now might break the seal and release what is suppressed inside.

Zhang Hao pondered over and over, but really couldn't come up with a good solution.

At the current rate of eradication, it will take at least a decade to completely eliminate it.

I'm so unlucky. I should have known better than to be so curious.

With this in mind, Zhang Hao didn't go out in his real body for the next few days, but instead simply floated around in his soul form.

Three nights later, Little Koi was riding a motorcycle at high speed down the street, looking quite like a young ghost.

Behind her followed Zhang Hao's spirit.

As Little Koi rode along, she recounted the findings of her investigation over the past few days: "We've searched the entire area these past few days and contacted Lao Zhang, asking him to speak with the local law enforcement. The sea area near that coffin has been sealed off, and no tourists will approach. However... after the news of the haunting spread, it actually attracted quite a few people to secretly come and livestream..."

The reason she was speeding here late at night was because she had promised Lao Zhang to help patrol at night to prevent any trouble.

The little koi was talking as it rode; if anyone else saw this, they would probably think it was a ghost.

Because ordinary people simply cannot see Zhang Hao in his soul state.

Zhang Hao sensed the fluctuations in the surrounding aura.

The yin and yang energies here are relatively balanced, which seems good on the surface. But that's only on the surface.

Deep within the atmosphere of this place lay an indescribable eeriness and disharmony. He couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong. If he had to describe it, it was probably the intuition of a master.

Zhang Hao always felt that this aura had been deliberately altered.

But he hasn't yet figured out exactly what was changed.

Suddenly, a group of motorcycle racers, laughing loudly, rushed out from ahead. (End of Chapter)
