Chapter 1229 has been marked.
Ye Qing was naturally unaware of the existence of that ancient bronze coffin.
But even now, he still felt a lingering sense of unease.
The gray mist emanating from the bronze coffin was far more terrifying to Ye Qing than facing an emperor. Even after escaping Lingyin Village, his whole body was still trembling uncontrollably.
Not only him, but also Long Rui and Zhang Heng next to him!
"What exactly is that thing?!" Zhang Heng asked in horror.
Ye Qing shook his head and said, "I saw gray mist, which seemed to be something capable of destroying everything in this world."
"Could it be the legendary power of death?" Long Rui asked. "The power of death is one of the most terrifying properties in the universe!"
"I don't know. Wherever the mist passed, everything turned to dust," Ye Qing said.
"Could it be destruction?" Long Rui asked again.
Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "It's definitely not. The destructive properties are controlled by one of the Nine Emperors, so it's impossible for them to appear in this place."
"In any case, let's leave here as soon as possible and return to Mirror Lake!" Ye Qing said. "We can ask Senior Yu then; perhaps she knows something. Of course, she may not be willing to tell us!"
The three dared not linger, and it was already close to noon; they had to hurry back to Mirror Lake!
Zhang Heng concealed his aura, and the three of them deliberately avoided Huang Ge and his group's camp. They quickly left and continued on their way.
The journey back was smooth and unimpeded. With two hours left before nightfall, they returned to the palace at Mirror Lake!
Upon seeing Ye Qing and the others return, Yu immediately appeared before them. She frowned, stared intently at Ye Qing, and said, "You... you've been marked!"
"Hmm?" Ye Qing frowned and asked, "What? You've been marked?"
At the same time, another shadow flashed by, and the big yellow dog came to Ye Qing's side. It circled around Ye Qing, sniffing him constantly. Its eyes were full of horror as it said, "Kid, where the hell have you been? Why do you smell like money?"
"The stench of money?" Ye Qing frowned and said, "An ancient bronze coffin?"
"Holy crap!" the big yellow dog cursed, "You've stumbled upon an ancient bronze coffin?"
Ye Qing frowned even more deeply. He looked at Long Rui and Zhang Heng beside him and said, "Didn't they have it on them? We saw it together."
The big yellow dog quickly circled around the two of them twice, and a gloomy feeling appeared on Yu's pretty face.
She looked at Long Rui and Zhang Heng beside her and said, "You two go inside and wait. Zhang Ke is expected to break through to the Venerable Realm tonight. You can leave Mirror Lake tomorrow. I have something to say to Ye Qing alone."
Long Rui and Zhang Heng dared not disobey Yu, so they nodded quickly and left.
After they left, before Yu could speak, the big yellow dog hurriedly asked, "What exactly happened? How did you manage to leave safely after encountering this bronze coffin?"
Ye Qing pondered for a moment, then recounted everything word for word. After listening, both the big yellow dog and Yu fell silent.
Then the big yellow dog looked at Yu and said, "It seems to be related to that old woman!"
"She's a lucky star, possessing the unique trait of luck!" Yu said. "She must have also seen Ye Qing's trait, or rather, sensed the aura of Long Xuan on Ye Qing, which is why she made a move. Otherwise... this kid would have died countless times already!"
"Hmm?" Ye Qing's expression shifted. "The Luck trait?"
"You damn lucky bastard!" the big yellow dog cursed. "That old lady you mentioned must be a legendary lucky star from ancient times. I didn't expect her to still be alive. She sent you to deliver a message as a blessing, giving you three chances to be lucky. But it seems you've already wasted them all!"
"Hmm?" Ye Qing frowned and said, "Have you wasted it all?"
"The first time, you encountered the woodcutter. He could have killed you, but he discovered you were about to enter the village and decided to play a trick on you, allowing you to escape!"
"The second time, you were bathed in that sunlight and happened to meet the peddler. He saved you both with that letter!"
"The third one, of course, is this ancient bronze coffin!"
Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he said, "That bronze coffin... something's not right!"
At this point, Ye Qing seemed to realize something, and he looked at the big yellow dog, saying, "How the hell do you know all this! Have you always known the rules here, but you didn't tell us?!"
Yu also looked at the big yellow dog!
The big yellow dog said, "Didn't you just say that yourself?"
Ye Qing looked at the dog with suspicion; he had a feeling that something was off about it.
"Stop worrying about this!" the big yellow dog said. "Kid, you're in big trouble now!"
"So, what exactly is this bronze coffin?" Ye Qing asked. "And what happens if it's marked?"
Yu fell silent, and the big yellow dog also remained silent. They did not answer Ye Qing. After a moment, the big yellow dog looked at Yu and asked, "Is there a way to erase this thing?"
“Perhaps… Zhang Tianlin has the ability to eliminate it, but Zhang Tianlin… will most likely die here too!” Yu said.
Ye Qing frowned and asked, "What exactly is this thing?"
"Kid, it's better that you don't know!" the big yellow dog said. "Knowing won't do you any good! This is not something you can access at your level."
"At what level can one make contact?" Ye Qing asked.
“Only when you reach the Emperor level are you qualified to make contact!” Yu said.
Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he looked at the big yellow dog, saying, "But you seem to know, could you really have been an Emperor-level before?"
"I am naturally an Emperor!" the big yellow dog said proudly.
Ye Qing looked at it with suspicion. If this silly dog was an Emperor-level being, could it be a sycophant to the Vermilion Bird Goddess?
But this dog was definitely strange. For some reason, Ye Qing had a feeling that it knew everything, including the rules of Silent Hill.
At first, Ye Qing thought that it was following him only to avenge Tian Ge and the others and overthrow the Heavenly Court!
But Ye Qing had a feeling that this dog was there for more than just that.
The big yellow dog didn't dwell on Ye Qing's question. It continued, "That old guy is most likely dead. What other options are there?"
"He's not dead!" Ye Qing took a deep breath and said, "I talked to the peddler. Zhang Tianlin is still alive. According to the peddler, he can probably live for another hundred years or so!"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, both the big yellow dog and Yu turned their gazes over at the same time.
