Lin Fei didn't believe in the existence of ghosts in this world.

However, undeniably, there still exist many inexplicable phenomena in this world.

For instance, do ghosts really exist in this world?

After a person dies, is there a soul that persists?

Lin Fei saw the woman in white with long hair, carrying a bamboo basket, her feet never touching the ground, floating into the cave.

Indeed, he wondered if this might be a female ghost?

Of course, this remains to be verified.

"Let's go in and take a look," Lin Fei said to all the bodyguards behind him.

All the bodyguards felt anxious in their hearts and followed Lin Fei into the cave.

As soon as they entered the cave, all the bodyguards were stunned. It was a natural cave dwelling in the belly of the mountain, large enough to accommodate a thousand people.

Hanging high above the cave was a huge stone coffin.

This stone coffin was much larger and longer than an ordinary wooden coffin, exuding a somber aura.

And on the cave floor were hundreds of red coffins.

Lanterns hung from the cave walls, illuminating the entire cave, casting eerie shadows on the stone coffin above and the hundreds of coffins on the ground, creating an indescribable eerie atmosphere.

Lin Fei saw that within the cave, there was also a passage leading further into the depths, and he didn't know where it led.

Lin Fei was convinced that Jiang Chen must be hiding within this cave.

"Jiang Chen, I'm here. Why haven't you come out yet?" Lin Fei shouted loudly into the cave.

Whoosh.

Just then, a figure swiftly flew out from the passage leading deeper into the cave, landing on a protruding rock on the cave wall.

Long hair draped over the shoulders, pale face, eyes gleaming with a cold light, dressed in a red robe, exuding a chilling aura like a devil.

This person was indeed the Martial King, Jiang Chen.

"Lin Fei, you've finally come to your death," Jiang Chen said with eyes burning with anger.

Lin Fei asked, "Where's Guan Yuxuan?"

"Guan Yuxuan, do you really think you can save her? You should worry about your own little life first!" Jiang Chen mocked.

Then, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the rock halfway up the wall, hands clasped together, muttering something, seemingly an incantation.

Lin Fei frowned. Jiang Chen suddenly chanting an incantation must mean he is preparing to attack.

As Jiang Chen recited the incantation, all the bodyguards noticed a strange aura spreading within the cave.

Suddenly, gusts of chilly wind appeared in the cave, brushing against the bodyguards, causing them to break out in goosebumps.

Just then, a series of thumping sounds emerged from the hundreds of coffins in the cave, as if the dead inside wanted to claw out of their coffins.

All bodyguards went pale, immediately tightening their grips on their electric batons, steel pipes, and long knives, their eyes uneasily fixed on the noise-making coffins.

Bang bang bang.

Just then, sounds of coffin lids being lifted and falling to the ground rang out.

Hundreds of coffin lids dropped to the ground, and pairs of male and female hands, pale and with long sharp nails, reached out from the coffins.

"Hohoho!~~~" Strange sounds emanated from the coffins.

All the bodyguards widened their eyes, their hearts pounding faster.

"Are they resurrecting?"

"Are these ghosts?"

"Or zombies?"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Figures flew out from the coffins, landing on the ground.

In an instant, nearly a hundred corpses appeared in front of Lin Fei and all the bodyguards.

These corpses, both male and female, had long hair draped over their shoulders, pale faces, and were dressed in funeral clothes.

From these bodies emanated a nauseating stench of decay.

The eyes of these corpses shone with an eerie red glint, embodying a dangerous aura.

Lin Fei's pupils contracted, then his gaze penetrated the bodies of these corpses.

Under his penetrating gaze, Lin Fei saw inside these bodies, there was no blood, the hearts were decayed, and no intact organs were present.

But Lin Fei discovered a powerful surge of dark energy flowing within the corpses' bodies.

Inside each corpse's mouth was a cyan wooden bead.

The wooden bead was inscribed with strange talismanic characters, emitting a peculiar glow.

"Kill them!" At this moment, Jiang Chen, who was chanting incantations, pointed at Lin Fei and the bodyguards, coldly ordering all the corpses.

With his command, the red glint in the eyes of the corpses intensified, and they let out hoarse sounds like beasts.

Then these corpses, with sharp claws extended, lunged at the bodyguards and Lin Fei.

As they attacked, all the bodyguards noticed these corpses' feet didn't touch the ground, almost floating towards them.

They became even more nervous: My god, they encountered ghosts!

However, Lin Fei remained unusually calm in gaze as he watched the attacking corpses.

All these corpses had wooden beads in their mouths and powerful dark energy within.

He recalled that his grandfather once told him about the Corpse Refining Skill.

The Corpse Refining Skill, as the name suggests, specializes in cultivating corpses.

According to his grandfather, the Corpse Refining Skill also has specific environmental requirements, which demand a place brimming with dark energy.

The skill allows the practitioner to use dark energy to cultivate an evil skill, thus manipulating and refining corpses, turning them into tools of death while also using the corpses' dark energy to enhance their evil prowess.

From Lin Fei's earlier perspective, the wooden beads in the corpses' mouths were undoubtedly magical artifacts specifically used to control the corpses.

The circulation of dark energy within the corpses indicated that they were no ordinary corpses but bodies refined with the Corpse Refining Skill.

These corpses had already acquired sinister powers.

The fact that they moved as though floating was precisely because of the sinister power being unleashed.

Hence, the key to dealing with these corpses was to remove the wooden beads from their mouths; without the beads, Jiang Chen's sorcery could not control these corpses.

Lin Fei had already identified the key to handling the corpses.

"Hohoho~~~"

The corpses charged forward incessantly.

All the bodyguards turned pale, cold sweat trickling from their foreheads.

Lin Fei's eyes glowed sharp, saying, "Everyone, listen up. Use your weapons and strike these corpses' mouths forcefully to knock out whatever's inside, then you can destroy these corpses!"

Strike the corpses' mouths forcefully?

All the bodyguards displayed puzzled expressions, not understanding why Lin Fei instructed them to strike the corpses' mouths with their weapons.

Nor did they know what was in the corpses' mouths?

But after Lin Fei instructed everyone, his figure already shot out, his fist striking toward the face of a charging, emaciated pale corpse.

The corpse, seeing Lin Fei's attack, swung its claws at Lin Fei.

Bam.

Lin Fei unleashed a punch imbued with True Qi, striking the face of the corpse.

The corpse's face was whipped to the side by Lin Fei's punch, and with a whoosh, the wooden bead flew out of its mouth.

Once the wooden bead was expelled, a surge of dark energy burst from the corpse's mouth.

After the dark energy erupted, the corpse immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, its previously flickering red eyes fading away.

It collapsed to the ground like a heap of soft clay, reverting to a lifeless state.

On the cave wall, Jiang Chen saw this, his eyes flaring with anger: How did this brat know there were Corpse Refining Pearls in their mouths?

Seeing this, all the bodyguards finally understood why Lin Fei instructed them to strike the corpses' mouths—because the wooden beads in their mouths were the corpses' fatal weakness.

With Lin Fei's demonstration, all the bodyguards felt a surge of confidence. After all, they were martial arts experts, and immediately began swinging their electric batons, steel pipes, and long knives toward the attacking corpses' mouths…
