He had heard this sound once before, during the raid on the secret vault of the Research Hall.

Among those directly confronted by the chilling cries of the Ghost Infant, Phoenix was the most affected. Even with his cultivation level, the sudden assault left his soul wounded and his mind dizzy. As he struggled to steady himself and retreat to safety, the corner of his eye caught sight inside the pit dug by Bai Ze. At the sight, his face turned pale with shock.
Alongside the strange sound waves emitted by the Music Box, an ebony black liquid with a foul stench continuously seeped out from the box. As the liquid infiltrated downward, bit by bit the layers of inseparable seals started to melt open.
