In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

coffin?

Sherry Yang seemed to have realized something and exclaimed, "Kunlun Divine Wood is suitable for making coffins! Above... above is the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue!"

"That's right!"

Su Mo gave Shirley Yang an appreciative look. "That's the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue. I never expected that the barbarian king of this small country could find such a divine tree!"

"Ancient books record that when Qin Shi Huang conquered the six kingdoms and swept across the land, he wanted to find this kind of divine wood to make it, but in the end he returned disappointed!"

"You've finally arrived!"

The voice remained in her ears, and now, Sherry Yang was finally certain that the voice was coming from above.

Thinking of this, Shirley Yang urged Su Mo, "Let's go up and take a look!"

Su Mo nodded and continued walking forward, while the others also proceeded cautiously.

Before they had taken two steps, Xiao Sa from the archaeological team seemed to have discovered something else. "Look, isn't there something on the sacred tree?"

Everyone looked up and shone their flashlights upwards. Sure enough, just as Xiao Sa had said, there was indeed something emitting a blue light on the Kunlun Divine Tree.

"A big taro?"

The fat man chuckled, "So the Queen of Jingjue also loves taro?"

Old Hu shook his head, utterly speechless.

Su Mo said in a deep voice, "Corpse! Fragrance! Demon! Taro!"

"Everyone, stay away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mo realized it was too late.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Queen of Jingjue (Part 1)

Corpse-scented Devil's Tongue?

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Professor Chen murmured to himself, "I never imagined that this legendary Corpse Fragrance Devil's Flower... it... it actually exists!"

Old Hu exclaimed in amazement, "The Kunlun Divine Tree, which the Qin Emperor once desperately sought but could not obtain, and the Corpse Fragrance Demon Flower, which only exists in legends, are both treasures that Queen Jingjue possesses. She is truly amazing!"

"here…"

Shirley Yang stared at the Corpse-Scented Devil's Flower as if she had lost her soul. She pushed Su Mo, who was in front of her, against the wall, and walked forward, muttering to herself, "I feel like I've been here before..."

"Snow Pear Yang?"

Su Mo's face turned grim, and he shouted loudly, "Sherry Yang?"

As if she hadn't heard Su Mo's voice, Shirley Yang walked forward blankly.

Oh shit!

Su Mo used his "Treading Snow Without a Trace" light footwork, lightly tapping the wall with his toes. With a "whoosh," Su Mo landed next to Xue Li Yang.

"Snow Pear Yang!!"

Su Mo focused his energy in his dantian, and his voice, like crashing waves, pierced the earth and tore through the sky.

"I…"

Sherry Yang stopped in her tracks, her mind blank, her eyes gradually clearing. "How did I get here?"

At this moment, Professor Chen suddenly remembered something. "That's right, I remember now. There is an ancient text that records that the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Flower contains the soul of an evil spirit. If a living person gets close, the evil spirit will surely take over their body!"

"professor!"

Xiao Sa and Xiao Chu looked on with fascination. "It seems that there are Ghost Cave characters carved on the Kunlun Divine Tree. As the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue, the Kunlun Divine Tree must contain important information about the ancient city of Jingjue. I want to copy it down!"

Before Professor Chen could speak, Xiao Sa and Xiao Chu darted out. In such a confined space, Su Mo couldn't stop them and could only watch helplessly as the two climbed up the Kunlun Divine Tree.

Something's not right!

With his sharp mind, Lao Hu looked around and immediately noticed the problem!

Looking at Old Hu's pale face, the fat man asked with concern, "Old Hu, what's wrong? What's wrong?"

Old Hu's face was grim. "I don't know, something feels off!"

The fat man asked suspiciously, "Something's not right?"

Old Hu looked around and said in a deep voice, "Something's not right here!"

"Rustling sound~"

The surrounding corpse-fragrant devil flowers emitted strange sounds, as if they were about to bloom.

"hey-hey!"

Xiao Sa and Xiao Chu suddenly started fighting under the Kunlun Divine Tree. Both of them had contorted faces and were letting out wild, piercing roars.

"What exactly is going on?"

Upon seeing this, Professor Chen shouted angrily.

Su Mo's expression turned solemn. He quickly activated his Golden Eyes, his golden eyes flashing with raging flames, reflecting blood and fire.

Su Mo slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Chu and Xiao Sa on the Kunlun Divine Tree.

"flutter!"

This sight startled Su Mo, causing his heart to clench violently.

Above the Kunlun Divine Tree, a woman dressed in black robes, resembling Shirley Yang, stood looking down at Xiao Chu and Xiao Sa with a mocking expression.

As if sensing Su Mo's gaze, the woman gently raised her head and looked at Su Mo from afar.

"Stab!"

Their eyes met, and it seemed as if a purple lightning bolt streaked across the sky, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.

How can it be!

Su Mo's pupils contracted, his mind reeling. He shook his head and looked back at the spot where he had been standing.

"Shh!"

The figure vanished instantly, as if it had never existed. However, Su Mo still clearly detected the faint black aura that permeated the surroundings.

Queen Jingjue?

No… to be precise, this should be the vengeful spirit of the Queen of Jingjue!

Su Mo's mouth was dry; this was the first time he had encountered something so bizarre.

Although the Queen of Jingjue's physical body is dead, her vengeful spirit has become incredibly powerful thanks to the eerie environment, the Kunlun Divine Tree, and the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Flower!

Su Mo shifted his gaze and looked at Xiao Sa and Xiao Chu again.

Two young members of the archaeological team were seen hammering each other's heads with stones.

"what!"

The two screamed as blood gushed from their heads, soaking the ground, before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

"them…"

Professor Chen cried out in utter grief and indignation, "How...how..."

Professor Chen became increasingly agitated as he spoke, and before he could catch his breath, he fainted.

"professor!"

"Professor Chen!"

Everyone quickly surrounded Professor Chen.

Su Mo originally wanted to go over and check on Professor Chen's physical condition, but at that moment, he felt a chill down his back and a sense of dread welled up in his heart.

The Kunlun Divine Tree, the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Flower, the Snow Pear Poplar, Old Hu, Fatty, and even Yingzi in the distance—these images overlapped with the surrounding environment.

"Old Hu, Fatty..."

Su Mo had just opened his mouth when his voice abruptly stopped. He saw a dark figure smiling at him from right in front of him.

"Clang!"

Su Mo drew the Crimson Sky Sword directly.

"Ha ha…"

The Queen of Jingjue laughed heartily, "You can actually see me?"

【Ding! 】

A mechanical, programmed system voice sounded in my ear: "[Congratulations, host, on participating in the main storyline of the Ghost Blows Out the Light world!]"

[Option 1: Life is only once. Beg for the Queen of Jingjue's forgiveness, offer all your treasures, and plead for her to spare your life. Reward: Permanent +30 Wisdom!]

[Option Two: Abandon everyone and run away alone, rewarding you with a permanent +20 Agility!]

[Option 3: Fight to the death, battling the vengeful spirit of the Queen of Jingjue. Successfully defeating her will grant a permanent +20 Strength!]

[This choice concerns the host's life; please choose carefully!]

The system unusually issued a warning, highlighting the urgency of the situation.

"..."

Su Mo did not rush to make a choice, but looked at the Queen of Jingjue and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you want? Do you intend to fight me to the death with your Yin Soul body, or do you intend to let me leave?"

As he spoke, Su Mo brandished the Crimson Sky Sword in front of the Queen of Jingjue in a show of defiance, as if to say, "Is this divine sword of mine, which can cut through iron like mud and blow hair short, afraid of me?"

"interesting?"

The Queen of Jingjue smiled. "It's quite interesting that someone would actually try to bargain with me!"

Su Mo remained silent, his eyes fixed on the Queen of Jingjue, awaiting her final answer.

Whether it's war or war, it all comes down to the word of the Queen of Jingjue.

The Queen of Jingjue smiled gently and said, "It's not impossible for me to spare these mortals..."
