“This is… the ancestral hall?” Kong Rui looked at the mottled marks on the wall. Seven coffins suddenly appeared in the direction of the original memorial wall.
“This is what it originally looked like,” Chao Bai said coldly. His expression changed slightly as he looked at the seven coffins in front of him.
“What are those?” Kong Rui looked at the blood energy surrounding those coffins. “The blood energy on Second Elder’s body comes from here?”
Chao Bai didn’t answer her. His eyes were fixed on the coffin.
Kong Rui didn’t ask further and wanted to go forward to check the situation in the coffin. However, she had just taken two steps when Chao Bai pulled her back. “Don’t go over!”
Kong Rui was startled and was about to ask the reason when she saw one of the coffins shake violently. “Who are you?! What are you doing?!”
The voice in the coffin was a slightly hoarse female voice.
Kong Rui watched as the coffin kept swaying and it seemed as if it would fall at any moment. She asked the person in the coffin, “Who are you?”
“Hmph! Don’t you know who we are?” The woman accused angrily. “The Li family will pay for everything you’ve done sooner or later!”
As Kong Rui listened to the person’s curse, she felt that the person’s hatred seemed to make the surrounding air colder.
“Who are you? Why are you locked here?” Kong Rui asked again to find out what was going on with these coffins.
As Chao Bai stared at the coffins, she pinched the blades with both fingers and cut the lids off.
The coffin lid fell to the ground and everything inside appeared in front of Kong Rui.
Kong Rui suddenly covered her mouth and nose. Even she, who was no longer sensitive to blood, couldn’t stand the sight of the terrifying scene in the seven coffins in front of her.
There was a person nailed to each of the seven coffins with seven steel nails. Their hands and feet were each nailed with a steel nail, and there was also one in their chests. The seventh steel nail pierced through their foreheads.
Under such circumstances, these people actually weren’t dead?
Kong Rui looked at those people in shock with mixed feelings.
Chao Bai stood there quietly, his eyes fixed on the people. “Did the Li family use the Seven Killing Spell on you guys?”
“You know about the Seven Killing Spell? You’re indeed from the Li family!” The woman who spoke first spoke again.
Kong Rui looked at the woman who had spoken and saw that her entire face was covered by withered grass-like hair, making it impossible to distinguish her true appearance.
Her voice came from her mouth, but every word was accompanied by blood.
She was dressed in a red gown, like a wedding dress or a costume, but it was stained with blood and could no longer be distinguished.
Kong Rui saw the woman shake the coffin again in anger.
Kong Rui immediately stopped her. “Stop swaying. You’re bleeding even more… stop doing this!”
Hearing Kong Rui’s words, the woman finally stopped.
However, she sneered. “Would the Li family be afraid of us bleeding? Would they be worried that we would be injured? How laughable!”
“Oh! I understand! You’re just afraid that I’ll die and that you’ll have to find another person to replace me, right?” The woman looked enlightened.
After the woman finished speaking, someone in the surrounding coffins immediately echoed coldly, “None of the Li family members are good people!”
Kong Rui looked at the person. It was a man in a plain robe.
The man’s face was pale and haggard. His hairpin had already collapsed because his hair had lost its nutrients.
“When are you going to kill me?! I don’t want to stay here anymore!” Another childish voice sounded. Only then did Kong Rui realize that there was a child who looked no more than seven or eight years old in the coffin at the side.
There were also two men and two women in the other coffins. They were glaring at Kong Rui and Chao Bai angrily.
Kong Rui didn’t know how to explain to those people, so she said, “How long have you guys been here? How can I save you?”
Hearing Kong Rui’s words, the people in the seven coffins became restless.
They shook the coffin angrily. “Don’t lie to us again! There’s no good person in the Li family! You should all go to hell!”
Hearing those people’s curses, Kong Rui remained calm. “I just want to help you…”
