When they arrived in front of the memorial wall, the blood energy was even richer, accompanied by moans, cries, and even curses.

Kong Rui was instantly on guard. She placed her hands on the wall to check what secrets were hidden in the memorial tablet wall.

The fact that the Second Elder could walk out of the crack meant that there must be a space behind the tablet wall. However, other than the entire wall of tablets, Kong Rui couldn’t see anything unusual.

She waved away a few of the Li family’s ancestral tablets.

Seeing Kong Rui’s obvious impatience, Chao Bai quickly walked to her side. “What’s wrong?”

“Didn’t you say that the blood energy is from living people? Save them!” Kong Rui continued to search the wall to find the source of the blood energy.

Chao Bai stood where he was. “What do those people’s lives have to do with me?”

Kong Rui paused and turned to look at Chao Bai. “They’re living beings! Didn’t you just kill Second Elder for them?”

Chao Bai shrugged and said matter-of-factly, “I just can’t stand those people who use spells to seek immortality! That Second Elder should have died in the first place. I just wanted him to die completely!”

Hearing Chao Bai’s cold-blooded words, Kong Rui couldn’t help but feel enraged. She glared at Chao Bai and turned around to continue searching. “Whatever. I’ll save them myself!”

Chao Bai frowned as he watched Kong Rui touch the dead people’s tablets with her small hands and snorted in dissatisfaction. “Why are you so gentle to those tablets?!”

Kong Rui didn’t turn around and only said calmly, “I want to see if there are any traps.”

Chao Bai blinked and asked, “Don’t you know that there’s an array formation here?”

Only then did Kong Rui stop and turn to look at Chao Bai. “Can you tell what array formation is here? Can you undo it?”

Of course, Kong Rui could tell that there was an array formation restriction here, but she had never cultivated any array formations, so she naturally didn’t know how to break it.

She also knew that Chao Bai had this ability, but since he refused to help, she couldn’t force him.

Chao Bai raised his chin slightly with a proud look as he said, “Of course! There’s no array in this world that I can’t unravel!”

As Kong Rui stared into Chao Bai’s bright eyes, she almost rejoiced out loud. She blinked and looked at Chao Bai as she said, “But you’re unwilling to save those people. I’d better not make things difficult for you.”

“So, even if you know how to use any array formation, it’s useless…” Kong Rui said indifferently and continued to fumble with the tablet.

Chao Bai immediately straightened his back and said to Kong Rui, “Move aside! I’ll do it!”

Kong Rui raised her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth immediately curled up. However, in an instant, she returned to her previous sorrowful appearance and turned to look at Chao Bai. “Don’t force yourself…”

Chao Bai snorted. “It’s just a piece of cake! Move aside! Don’t get in the way!”

Hearing Chao Bai’s words, Kong Rui immediately jumped two steps back to give Chao Bai room.

Chao Bai formed a seal with his hands as he muttered something.

Kong Rui couldn’t understand the enchantment he was chanting, but she felt that everything around her seemed to be spinning and changing. She looked at the changes in her surroundings and stared toward the memorial wall.

Chao Bai’s hand seals kept changing. After a while, a golden light shot out from his hands and towards the middle of the memorial wall.

As the golden light entered, Kong Rui soon heard the sound of something tearing and collapsing.

Where the golden light entered, there was a faint flash of light. The light grew larger and larger, seeping out from behind the wall of tablets, extending from the middle to the ground and roof.

Chao Bai said to Kong Rui, “Come behind me.”

Kong Rui didn’t dare to delay and jumped behind Chao Bai.

Chao Bai suddenly raised his head and shouted in the direction of the memorial wall, “Open!”

Bright light shot out from behind the memorial wall and also tore the wall in half from the middle.

Everything around her collapsed as the wall tore apart. The forbidden area behind the wall finally appeared in front of Kong Rui.

Kong Rui looked at the surrounding ruins in disbelief. The dark space was filled with the smell of decay.
