Chapter 526: Burning Incense

"It looks like it's been abandoned for decades," Feng Xue commented as she gazed at the decrepit wooden houses with collapsed roofs. Though they appeared unappealing, there was a surprising absence of any rotten smell.

But it was exactly this absence that made it even more eerie.

It was as if—

the decay of this village had been abruptly halted by some force.

Passing through the small alleys formed by the wooden houses, the crying sounds gradually became clearer. Moments later, Feng Xue's view abruptly opened up, revealing a black coffin in front of her.

In front of the coffin were a pair of white candles, with Netherworld Paper crumpled around, scattered in various directions. In the center of the candles, a Fire Pit burned sluggishly, the heat generating air currents that lifted the surrounding Netherworld Paper into the sky before slowly drifting back down.
