Chapter 1531: Chapter 1524

Xin Lin thought for a moment and decided to abandon this idea.

After all, the talk about the Spirit Array was just her speculation without any concrete evidence.

With the Hao Tian Festival approaching, her random guesses would only cause the Crown Prince to panic.

Oh well, let’s wait and see what happens next.

Xin Lin wandered around a bit more and found that aside from the markings on the ground, Haotian Platform was no different from any other scenic building or pavilion.

Although it was already late at night, there was no trace of any ghostly presence in the vicinity.

It seemed that after King Hua’s incident at the Kutuo River, there had been no further actions.

"Your Highness, everything is ready, it’s almost midnight."

Ghost Shiva, however, was not interested in admiring the structure of Haotian Platform.

She had already placed the coffin in the center of this floor.

Around the coffin, she had also placed eight Peach Wood Swords, with stacks of Paper Money on them.

Xin Lin glanced at the Paper Money, keeping her expression neutral.

"You two, please step aside, once the Soul Gathering begins, if there’s any movement, neither of you should make a sound, lest you disturb the ghosts and invite disaster."

Ghost Shiva had a mysterious look on her face.

The Crown Prince nodded.

He was also skeptical about Ghost Shiva’s so-called resurrection technique.

If not for his third sister’s interest in Ghost Shiva’s ghost techniques, he wouldn’t have bothered letting her enter the Haotian Platform.

The two of them stepped aside.

Ghost Shiva changed into a mystic robe,

her face, like tree bark, covered in lines.

She held a Peach Wood Sword, her broad mystic robe moving without wind, making a rustling sound.

"Urgent as the law commands, little ghost, come quickly."

Ghost Shiva shouted.

The eight Peach Wood Swords around the coffin started to move.

The Netherworld Paper Money on them began to burn.

The ground trembled slightly.

Beside Xin Lin’s ears, there was a rustling sound, like flowing sand.

When she looked down, her eyes changed.

For she discovered that beneath her, something was flowing in those weathered markings.

These weathered markings, dark in color, were about two inches wide each, and now, something was flowing in them.

It was Evil Qi!

Xin Lin immediately realized.

Haotian Platform, as the holy land of Fuzhou, had an underground layer containing a large amount of Evil Qi.

A large amount of Evil Qi was flowing through those "markings" towards the coffin.

Xin Lin looked at the Crown Prince beside her; he appeared calm and did not sense anything unusual, clearly, he did not see the Evil Qi.

To the Crown Prince, it only felt colder around him.

Ghost Shiva’s eyes, however, showed a hint of excitement.

Though she couldn’t see the Evil Qi like Xin Lin, as a Ghost Cultivator, she could sense the power fluctuations around.

"Mingming, is that you who returned! Mother has been searching hard for you, Mingming, please come back."

Ghost Shiva was overjoyed, looking hopefully at the coffin.

The Peach Wood Swords moved even more vigorously.

But the coffin remained still.

Zhao Tianming had long been dead, his soul devoured by the little fox; there was no Soul Gathering to speak of.

Xin Lin, however, saw a large amount of Evil Qi rapidly accumulating.

Crackling sounds—

Xin Lin heard cracking sounds, and more root-like cracks appeared beneath her feet.

A large amount of Evil Qi flowed like water, the marks suspected to be a Spirit Array expanded.

Good.
