Chapter 1556 Encountering Another Body Seizing

Mengyu pushed open the Crystal Coffin lid, wanting to take a closer look at this woman.

Of course, she also conveniently searched for the woman’s belongings—she seemed to see a ring on the woman’s finger, and she had a feeling it might be a storage ring!

Not only was there a storage ring, but the woman’s wrist also carried a bracelet, which wasn’t ordinary either, as it contained energy even Mengyu couldn’t recognize.

But, as she pushed open the coffin lid, Mengyu was startled again, seeing only an exceptionally beautiful woman lying inside the Crystal Coffin, around eighteen or nineteen years old, stunning enough to dazzle anyone.

She recalled having once found an Imperial Palace under the Heavenly Pond, with people in its coffins still retaining a bit of consciousness, although it was later confirmed that this palace was something Gu Dongxing had refined in his past life, always carrying it with his prior life Space House, yet she still felt a bit uneasy. In the end, she returned that palace to Gu Dongxing.

Now seeing this beautiful figure, her first reaction was to take out the soul beads—if the person inside the Crystal Coffin had any lingering awareness, the soul beads would inevitably absorb it.

However, the expected soul capture did not happen, as the person in the coffin suddenly opened her eyes. Her pupils were pitch black, with both eyes seemingly forming vortices, attempting to suck people’s souls inside.

Yet Mengyu felt something very eerie; those black eyes were simply unbelievable!

If it were an ordinary person, their soul might indeed get sucked out, but who was Mengyu? She was a cultivator at Golden Core Perfection level, and she promptly leaped back.

Her heart pounded rapidly as she performed a Taoist salute to the beautiful woman: "I did not know this place was owned; I accidentally disturbed it. I will leave immediately."

Xiao Tao called out from within the Space House: "Master, be careful; this person died long ago, but the corpse is being sustained by spiritual power, with the soul sealed within the already dead body. Ah, there are runes on the coffin; could it be that they intend to resurrect her?"

Earlier, Mengyu had been too shocked to consider using Divine Sense to scan, though this was also a basic respect for others, as carelessly scanning a high-level cultivator could potentially cost her life.

But now, she could no longer afford to be polite and immediately used her Divine Sense to scan the woman.

As expected, just as Xiao Tao had said, this woman was devoid of vitality, relying on the stone coffin, which was pressed against a Spiritual Eye on a Spirit Vein, to receive nourishment from spiritual power to prevent decay.

But even so, she remained just a corpse, incapable of resurrection. Instead, the woman’s soul was sealed inside her body, unable to reincarnate.

Hearing that the woman’s soul was sealed in the body, Mengyu suddenly felt relieved.

"Haha, at least I won’t be body seized." Mengyu said, although she didn’t realize at that moment that she had spoken too soon.

Mengyu, practicing the Merit Path, did not intend to do anything to this woman. Seeing as the place was owned, she planned to retreat.

However, just as she said this, a white light shot from the woman’s eyes and pierced into Mengyu’s forehead.

"Damn it!"

Mengyu wanted to curse, thinking the woman’s soul was sealed and couldn’t get out, so she didn’t need to worry about being body seized. But unexpectedly, she was being seized after all.

She realized she’d been tricked; this woman wasn’t sealed by someone else but had self-sealed! If it was a self-seal, naturally she could also unseal it herself!

It could only be blamed on the great quality of her body, attracting even ghosts.

However, Mengyu wasn’t one to be trifled with. The previous body snatcher had already surrendered their soul energy to her—in this case, let’s see who’s stronger.

The next moment, Mengyu retreated into her own Sea of Consciousness.
