Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Other things? Could it be a crystal coffin?

Upon hearing Guo Shiyi's analysis, Qin Xiaochuan immediately thought of the only remaining item in the secret room. Han Kexin had once said that the teleportation array in the crystal coffin could teleport people to the Blood Witch Clan's settlement—New Moon City. Could it be that Du Peixian also knew the use of this array?

Another point of contention is that the purpose of the "Dark Night" organization is to study the Blood Witch Clan and use them for experiments, so there are a large number of mutated Blood Witch Clan members in its base. But where did these Blood Witch Clan members come from?

Could it be... a crystal coffin?

He couldn't believe the answer he had derived, but no matter what, there must be many secrets hidden within it.

He was now eager to see Han Kexin, perhaps she would have a different opinion on the matter, because only she knew what was really going on in Crescent City on the other side of the crystal coffin.

"Hey!" Just as Qin Xiaochuan was starting to have doubts, he suddenly felt someone push him. He looked up and saw Guo Siyi looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked him, somewhat displeased.

"What's wrong?" He felt completely bewildered.

"What? What's wrong?" Guo Shiyi's dissatisfaction intensified. Although she appeared angry, her furrowed brows were somewhat endearing. "I was talking to you, and suddenly you just stood there with a frown on your face, ignoring my questions."

"Oh, what did you ask me just now?" Qin Xiaochuan said speechlessly. His deduction just now was too frightening. He had unconsciously drifted off into a daze. He wondered if he was overthinking things.

Guo Shiyi pursed her lips. "I just asked you, do you think Du Peixian's goal is that crystal coffin?"

"Huh?" He stared at her, wondering if she already knew the purpose of the crystal coffin.

"What's wrong?" Guo Shiyi frowned again.

"Do you also think it's that crystal coffin?"

"Of course, what else could he be after besides that crystal coffin?" Guo Shiyi rolled her eyes at him.

"Then what do you think the crystal coffin is for?" He looked at her nervously.

"I don't know." Guo Shiyi shook her head. "It should be related to the magic array in the crystal coffin, but unfortunately my understanding of magic arrays is limited."

Thankfully, she didn't know. Qin Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief. If she had known the function of that magic circle, what would she have done? And would humans have invaded the Blood Witch Clan's world then?

Although he is not yet the true Blood Witch King, he does not want to see the Blood Witch Clan and humans fight.

"Sigh, this is a real problem. Why is there a magic circle there?" Qin Xiaochuan thought to himself, speechless.

"I think I need to go back to the church and take a look, and while I'm at it, take a picture of the magic circle in the crystal coffin and send it back to the Wudang Sect. Maybe Master will recognize this magic circle." Just as he was lamenting in his heart, Guo Shiyi said again.

"Huh?" He stared at her with his mouth agape, not knowing what to say.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just think your idea is good," he said against his will.

Actually, he wanted to stop Guo Shiyi, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to persuade her. Besides, even if he did stop her, the other demon hunters would do as she said, and in the end, he would have been doing nothing. Rather than that, he might as well go along with her wishes so that he could keep track of their investigation progress.

Qin Xiaochuan suddenly realized that being the Blood Witch King was really tough; he had to worry about so much even before the game had started.

"Since you think so too, let's go to the church together this Saturday," Guo Shiyi said happily.

Well, he had no other choice, because he couldn't refuse her just because of her happy expression.

******

The days of daily training passed quickly, and Saturday arrived before we knew it.

The weather happened to be nice that day, so he and Guo Shiyi met at the school gate early in the morning and then took a taxi together to the outskirts where the Church of St. Mary was located.

Their destination was still the road next to the GG wall. The taxi driver who brought them here seemed to know the area well and parked the car directly at one of the entrances to the GG wall.

On the other side of the road was a dilapidated lumber mill. Although it was Saturday, people were still working there, and the roar of machinery made this remote place seem somewhat lively, without the desolation it had felt last time.

At the entrance to the GG wall, there was an asphalt road leading straight to the center of this wasteland, so they walked along the road.

At first, there were many makeshift rooms on both sides of the road, where homeless people from the neighborhood lived. But as you walked further, the surroundings became more and more desolate. There were abandoned small factories and houses from time to time, and withered weeds and vines covered every corner. From time to time, a rabbit would dart out from among the weeds and scurry across the road. Everywhere was a scene of decay.

Anyone who sees this place would think it's a waste of such a good piece of land, but who would have thought that such a large, desolate place was just to cover up a crystal coffin?

What exactly did Du Peixian know to do this? Qin Xiaochuan kept pondering this question the whole way.

They walked on and on, quickly becoming familiar with their surroundings. It seemed that this asphalt road was the same road he and Han Kexin had walked together last time. After passing through the rows of abandoned residential buildings again, they finally arrived in front of the Church of St. Desire.

During the day, Qin Xiaochuan felt that the Church of St. Descartes was even more dilapidated. The front hall and the bell tower at the back were covered with withered vines and spider webs, and the two wooden doors that had begun to rot were completely open, revealing the front yard full of weeds.

An open door?

He and Guo Shiyi couldn't help but glance at each other, only to see the look of confusion in each other's eyes.

They had only been here a little over a month ago, so it was impossible for them to be mistaken. He clearly remembered that he had closed the wooden door tightly before leaving last time and had even plugged in the door latch, so the wooden door could not have been blown open by the wind.

But the door is now open. Could it be that someone else came here later?

Guo Shiyi gestured for him to be quiet, and he nodded in understanding. The two then carefully walked into the main hall.

Because the ground was covered with weeds, there was almost no sound when they stepped on it. They quickly reached the entrance of the church sanctuary. Only one door was open, so the two of them stood at the door and peered into the sanctuary. What they saw surprised them even more.

Although it was daytime, the light inside the main hall was still dim because most of the doors and windows were closed, but the cobwebs on the walls were already visible.

So they immediately saw the large cross at the very front of the hall, and below the large cross was the entrance to the secret chamber, which was now open.

Moreover, light shone from the entrance into the secret chamber, and in that light, countless dust particles could be seen swirling in the air.

There was someone in the secret room!

He and Guo Shiyi couldn't help but exchange another glance, this time their eyes were filled with shock, this result was too unexpected for them.

He and Guo Shiyi nodded to each other, said nothing, and then quietly walked toward the secret room in tacit understanding.

Who exactly is inside?

What is his purpose? Is it to find the legendary treasure, or is he after the crystal coffin?

Qin Xiaochuan thought to himself that the answer to all these mysteries lay right in front of them, in that secret room, and they were walking step by step toward the secret room, toward the answer.
