The Crystal Coffin was easily pushed open by Wu Xin, and the person inside looked so similar to Wu Xin that it was hard not to suspect a relationship between them.
Lin Yun hadn't even seen the statue and already held such suspicions, while Hu Yuling, having seen the statue, along with Wu Xin, had essentially confirmed that Wu Xin was the Demon Princess.
As for Xiao Qing...
Since meeting Lin Yun, she had been holding onto him the entire time, much like an oversized accessory.
She was very quiet and did not command a strong presence.
Lin Yun didn't think too much of it, just assuming she was holding on to him because she had missed him too much after being apart for a long time, and he let her be, since it didn't affect his movements now.
The coffin was opened, and naturally, the next step was to investigate the body. However, Lin Yun hadn't forgotten the words spoken by Demon Venerable Purple Lightning.
The Demon Emperor was merely in a deep slumber.
