The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 916 [Aquino’s Purpose]

"Hehehe..."

A chilling laughter that makes one’s hair stand on end echoed, as if countless vengeful spirits were hovering around the blood-red coffin.

"Ugh..."

Suddenly, a hysterical voice of pain came from within the coffin, causing Phoenix and Asura to be taken aback—it was unmistakably the voice of Ye Chenfeng.

Inside, Ye Chenfeng struggled in agony. Though he couldn’t see anything, he felt as if countless insects were gnawing at his flesh, almost devouring him entirely.

"Hold on, Phoenix!" Asura stopped Phoenix from taking action, signaling her to wait and see.

The blood-red light of the coffin intensified, and Ye Chenfeng’s screams grew louder.

Aquino and the six monks chanted incantations at an increasing speed, as if everything was reaching its climax.

"Bang!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The massive blood-red coffin suddenly moved, and then everything fell silent.

The blood-colored coffin absorbed all the blood that covered it, and the channels vanished.

Aquino and the six monks lay on the ground, panting heavily, as if they had exhausted all their strength.

"What’s happening?"

Asura pressed on with a destructive aura, seemingly ready to kill everyone.

He was sure that in his current state, Aquino was too frail to harness the peculiar energy here.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the blood-red coffin was pushed open, and Ye Chenfeng emerged from within.

"Asura, I’m fine!" Ye Chenfeng said to Asura.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng emerge unharmed, Aquino displayed a satisfied smile on his face, but it was chillingly unsettling.

"Mr. Aquino, can you tell me the purpose of all this?" Ye Chenfeng asked with a smile.

Aquino shakily rose from the ground and weakly replied, "I definitely can’t tell you!"

"You know, killing you now would be easier than stepping on an ant!" Ye Chenfeng threatened.

Aquino wasn’t intimidated at all. He smiled sinisterly, "If you kill me, who will help you find the person?"

"Alright, you win!" Ye Chenfeng spread his hands helplessly.

Afterwards, Ye Chenfeng asked, "Can we proceed now?"

"Yes, yes!" Aquino nodded.

He picked the largest jar from among many.

"Give me the item!" Aquino said.

Ye Chenfeng was startled. It seemed Aquino knew everything, even that he carried the Demon King’s Kiss.

"Hmm!"

Ye Chenfeng took out the Demon King’s Kiss from his bag and handed it to Aquino.

"Bang!"

Aquino casually tossed the Demon King’s Kiss into the jar.

"Now, drop your blood inside!" Aquino instructed.

Ye Chenfeng hesitated, staring firmly at Aquino, "Is it really that simple to just bleed? Are you deceiving me?"

In a bitter tone, Aquino replied, "Your blood is too domineering and terrifying; even the spirits fear it. Only after diluting your blood will they accept it. By utilizing your soul-cleansing power, they can help you find the person you seek."

"Oh!"

Ye Chenfeng nodded, recalling how earlier when Phoenix dripped her blood inside, the contents of the jar were excited. When his blood dripped in, it immediately emitted a painful sound.

It seemed that his blood was indeed overbearing, making even the creatures Aquino bred fear it.

Despite this, Ye Chenfeng still didn’t believe Aquino’s intentions were so simple. The earlier ceremony surely benefited them somehow; he just couldn’t figure out what Aquino was up to yet.

"Alright!"

Ye Chenfeng decided temporarily to trust Aquino and dripped his blood into the jar.

"Ugh..."

The jar emitted screams of agony again, though not as terrifying as before.

Ye Chenfeng was startled, confirming that the contents did indeed fear his blood.

Seeing this, Aquino began chanting incantations again to calm the contents.

Quickly, the screams ceased entirely; it seemed Aquino was right about the spirit accepting Ye Chenfeng’s blood.

Aquino lifted the jar and buried it underground, where the area was covered with talismans.

"Hell’s Ghost Dance!"

Suddenly, Aquino’s steps shifted, his toes tapping the ground continuously, creating chaotic marks on the ground.

He muttered words filled with an inexplicable evil.

Gradually, cold winds howled, with the sound of wailing ghosts echoing endlessly, as if demons were dancing in wild frenzy, cloaking the atmosphere in cold terror.

The buried jar grew more restless, with violent energies surging upwards.

And Aquino’s footsteps quickened while his chanting took on even greater speed.

...

"Thud!"

After more than ten minutes, Aquino collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, with sweat soaking through his coarse robe; clearly, his expenditure was far greater than before.

"Where’s the person?"

Ye Chenfeng urgently asked, believing the ritual had concluded.

"I’ve already used the Hell’s Ghost Dance to awaken the spirit. It’ll take time to find the person, especially since you’ve lost contact with her for four years. Simply relying on an object to locate her quickly is exceedingly difficult. You will be notified of the result once the spirit resurfaces!" Aquino said.

"How long will it take?" Ye Chenfeng asked, thinking it would only be a matter of minutes.

Aquino pondered and replied, "It could be a few days, or perhaps a few months..."

"Uh..."

Ye Chenfeng was taken aback, completely stunned.

"You better leave now; I’ll notify you once it’s completed!" Aquino said.

Ye Chenfeng’s face darkened, "Better not play any tricks!"

"I won’t!"

"Alright, let’s go!"

With Phoenix and Asura, Ye Chenfeng left the place filled with doubts.

"Soul Master, has everything gone smoothly?"

After Ye Chenfeng and the others left, the chamber was suddenly filled with people.

Aquino showed a conspiratorial smile, "It’s already succeeded; now we just have to wait."

"Congratulations, Soul Master!" the crowd exclaimed.

"I’ll have to retreat in seclusion for a while. You should all prepare as well!" Aquino said, dragging his weary body.

...

"Why did the Divine King agree to save me and even help find the Queen in the end?"

Outside, Phoenix voiced her lingering doubt.

Ye Chenfeng smiled, "It’s nothing. We’re all doing fine now, aren’t we?"

Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s reluctance to speak, Phoenix didn’t pursue the topic further. She changed the subject, "Do you believe Aquino can really find the Queen? He’s very likely deceiving us."

"Because I have something of value to him, he won’t deceive us and will go all out to help me," Ye Chenfeng explained.

"Divine King, exactly what do you have that’s valuable to him? I’ve been observing, but I still haven’t figured it out," Asura said, puzzled.

"I think I have a clue," Ye Chenfeng replied, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"What is it?" Asura asked curiously.
