His tone was very light, and he sounded unusually graceful and deep.

 At first, Zhuge Yun did not understand why this man had stopped him from walking forward. He was just about to ask when bone-chilling screams began to come from where the team had disappeared.

 “Ah!”

 Immediately after, the air was filled with a sudden overwhelming stench of blood, causing people to retch as the smell ran through their noses.

 Zhuge Yun widened his eyes, his instinctive reaction was to retrieve the mahogany sword he carried.

 Yet, at this moment, the sounds seemed to have died down.

 In a quiet atmosphere, one could feel a dense atmosphere permeating.

 It sounded vague like someone was ringing a bell.

 With each ring of the bell, the skies darkened.

 The gradual spreading of darkness seemed to hide numerous chilly ghosts and goblins.

 Even the temperature of their surroundings began to drop sharply, the gentle winds were changing abruptly!

 In the depths of the forest, something seemed to be moving, deterring people from going near it.

 In no time at all, Zhuge Yun’s forehead was beaded with sweat. He turned his head around and was just about to say, “Stand back, let me protect you both.”

 The man who stopped him stepped forward, his green robe fluttered in the wind and his narrow long eyes squinted slightly. He still held his languid yet devilish look, but there was not a flicker of warmth in his eyes. His lips curved into a smile as he said with a stately sense of refined elegance, “Now we can go forward.”

 Just then, Zhuge Yun seemed to have understood something. His eyes flickered uncontrollably, “You, you knew all along that there was something lurking out there?!”

 Baili Jia Jue kept quiet but he remained standing with an expression resembling a smile on his face.

 Zhuge Yun had no way of expressing the shock in his heart.

 On the other hand, Helian Wei Wei was extremely ********, holding His Highness’ hand, she said with a smile, “You used them as bait on purpose?”

 “How would I?” Baili Jia Jue stretched his hand out to pull her toward him, as elegantly as a gentleman could. “I just wanted to see how powerful they are to make us beg for mercy. Hah.”

 That final chuckle was filled with murderous intent.

 Frankly, he just wanted to send them to their deaths.

 Helian Wei Wei silently grieved for the people there, but she did not feel anything for them.

 On the contrary, Zhuge Yun was left stunned momentarily.

 When they finally entered, there were only three teams left, striving. It was unclear what the rest had encountered, but all that was left of their bodies were shriveled dry husks that had turned completely black.

 “What happened?” Zhuge Yun grabbed one of the exorcists by the collar and asked, “Why did so many of them die?”

 The exorcist had obviously been too shocked, hence he could not really react. “This, this route is problematic! I want to go back, who cares about the graveyard. I want to go back!”

 “Keep quiet!” The person who spoke was Xiao Lingyu. He was still holding a Chinese talisman in his hand, his fingertips were slightly trembling. “It was just a few tiny flying things, why are you kicking up such a big fuss!”

 “Master Xiao, those were not just some tiny things, you have seen for yourself how great in number they were. With one single wave, they ate more than 10 of our men! There is obviously something wrong with this route, it is filled with evilness! Why don’t we return and pick another route?”

 Someone carefully suggested this.

 Xiao Lingyu did not even spare him a glance. What a joke! I have confirmed earlier that this was the shortest route to the graveyard. Even though the danger level would be higher, there is a possibility we may reach earlier with this route.

 Furthermore, I have already set out on this route, how could I turn back now?

 Even if everyone from the other teams died, for the glory and honor of the Xiao Family, I must still go forward!

 This was what Xiao Lingyu thought to himself, but his expression remained unmoved. “There’s nothing much to it, bring out all the Chinese talismans you have and light them, those things are afraid of fire!”

 Upon hearing Xiao Lingyu’s order, every exorcist began retrieving their Chinese talismans.

 Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue still stayed in their original position.

 Zhuge Yun also took one Chinese talisman out.

 However, Helian Wei Wei stopped him. “If there are too many of them, the Chinese talismans will only last momentarily. They are not very effective in stopping these things. It would be more strategic to stay quiet now.”

 “Then what should we do?” Hearing this, the other exorcists began to panic among themselves.

 Seeing that his only chance of escaping was ruined, Xiao Lingyu became instantly annoyed. “Are you going to listen to the words of an outsider or mine? Did you not see that those things stayed away just because I lit a Chinese talisman?”

 “You are right!” The exorcists who were keen on relying on Xiao Lingyu to escape, immediately agreed saying, “Some people don’t know anything, they cannot even save themselves, yet they want to pretend to be knowledgeable here. What’s worse is that you all are actually dumb enough to believe them. Hurry up and light up your Chinese talismans by reciting the mantra, those things will be coming back soon!”

 Upon hearing this, the exorcists started reciting the mantra with the talismans in their hands.

 Only Zhuge Yun ceased his movements without going through his belongings. He could not explain why; even though she did not have an ounce of spiritual aura, the words she said were somehow convincing.

 All the exorcists were now in a panicky mess. All the people from each of the teams stood back-to-back. They were in a different formation from before, instead, they all faced various directions. As they moved, they cursed lowly, “Holy sh*t! It is the middle of the day now, where do these things come from!”

 Zhuge Yun still had no idea what they were talking about.

 However, Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue obviously knew, they glanced at each other meaningfully with familiar traces of laughter.

 Xiao Lingyu did not care what others thought. Coincidentally he was facing the direction of the tomb entrance. If that group of things flew back again, these people could buy him some time as his human shields.

 “They’re coming!” Suddenly, an exorcist behind him began to shout. “They are coming back again!”

 Shocked, Zhuge Yun turned his head around to look. A black gust of wind buzzed over from the edge of the skies with an indescribable sound. Upon a closer look, he realized that it was not the wind, but numerous vampire bats flapping their wings. They were extremely small in size, and they dived toward the leftmost team with lightning-quick speed!

 Those people shrieked as they began to light their Chinese talismans.

 However, there was no effect whatsoever!

 The more they moved, the crazier the vampire bats became. A sizzling sound could be heard as they devoured someone’s body whole.

 Seeing this, the rest of them turned to run away. Fear was like those ominous bats, they were impossible to get rid of!

 “Master Xiao, help…” Before the word ‘me’ was uttered, three more died in the blink of an eye!

 Xiao Lingyu was left utterly stupefied. He had overestimated the result. He thought the remaining team members and their Chinese talismans would somehow be able to buy him some time, but he did not expect the overwhelming number of bats to appear, causing everything to spiral out of control…
