All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

Page 587

Lina possesses immense strength, surpassing even the most powerful sixth-rank martial artist.

"This is number three, Xu Qi'an; this is number four, Chu Yuanzhen; and this is number five, Lina."

Now, there is no longer any need for members of the Heaven and Earth Society to hide anything from each other.

Xu Qi'an, holding a torch, looked Lina over carefully and said, "Nice to meet you!"

Turns out, this girl's face wasn't dirty; it's just her natural skin tone!

After resting in the tomb, the group confirmed that this was one of the side chambers of the main tomb.

Chu Yuanzhen examined many artifacts in the side room and finally determined the identity of the tomb's occupant.

"This should be the tomb of an emperor, and the woman buried with him was his concubine."

Xu Qi'an said to the group of people behind Lina, "We'll only take care of the women and children; let the rest fend for themselves."

"If you follow me any further, don't blame me for being impolite!"

These people are here to rob tombs, and they're not good people. We should refuse them permission to follow us and let them return to the surface on their own.

Lina nodded and said to the group, "I came out to visit a friend."

"Now that I've found my friend, it's time to part ways with you all!"

Afterwards, the four members of the Heaven and Earth Society continued forward, while the tomb raiders slunk back the way they came.

At the end of the side room, there was another passageway, with signs of artificial excavation.

Finally, after passing through several burial chambers, the four entered the main burial chamber.

The tomb chamber is flanked by dragon pillars, and every ten steps there is a life-sized candlestick, which extends all the way to the high platform.

The candles on the candlesticks, not yet burned out, were blood red, crystal clear, and resembled rubies.

"This is oil extracted from the body of the Red Dragon of the East Sea. One candle can burn for decades." Master Jinlian sniffed it and identified the material of the candle.

Xu Qi'an and Chu Yuanzhen lit the candles, and clusters of candlelight flickered quietly, bringing more light to the main tomb.

In the center of the main tomb is a high platform, with a total of ninety-nine steps leading up to it.

The four of them gradually ascended the high platform, where a huge bronze coffin came into view.

At the four corners of the high platform stood four tall figures.

“This is the work of the Taoist sect,” said Master Jinlian.

"All things in heaven and earth are manifestations of the five elements. The ancients believed that if a five-element array was set up in a tomb, the deceased would one day be reborn."

Master Jinlian examined it carefully again and finally came to a conclusion.

"This emperor... is a Taoist master, possibly a second-rank expert!"

Although a second-rank expert is strong, Shen Shu and Luo Yuheng's Fu swords should be able to handle them.

However, after searching around, they found nothing.

Just then, a heavy sigh suddenly came from inside the coffin.

"You came……"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and then they heard the sound of the coffin being opened.

The bronze coffin was opened, and an evil aura spread out.

The coffin lid fell to the ground, and a mummified corpse dressed in a yellow robe slowly crawled out.

It wore a pure gold crown on its head, its facial skin was tightly attached to its bones, and its nose was rotten, leaving only two empty holes.

The eyeball was embedded in its socket, as if it might fall out at any moment.

"You two are just second-grade cultivators who failed the tribulation, don't panic."

While encouraging Xu Qi'an and Chu Yuanzhen, Master Jinlian pulled Lina back.

A second-rank cultivator who failed his tribulation should not be a match for Luo Yuheng, the God of the Sun.

Master Jinlian was unaware of the divine power within Xu Qi'an's body.

"Welcome back, my lord!"

The dry, parched voice of the tomb's occupant emanated eerily from within his body.

The strangest thing is that the mummified corpse actually looked at Xu Qi'an with its empty eye sockets!

"Your master is a ghost!" Xu Qi'an screamed.

"Why didn't my lord become an immortal?" the mummified corpse asked in a low voice, its tone filled with doubt.

The immortality mentioned by the mummified corpse should refer to the super-grade of each system.

Xu Qi'an was sweating profusely with nervousness, thinking that he must have mistaken the dried corpse for something else.

Moreover, since he identified himself as the lord, he might as well pretend to be the lord for once.

"You...are you teaching me how to do things?"

The mummified corpse was terrified, bowing its head repeatedly, its body trembling. "My lord, please forgive me! My lord, please forgive me!"

Then, the mummified corpse did something that no one expected.

He knelt on the ground, lifted his yellow robe, revealing his shriveled body underneath, his chest severely sunken.

Then, he thrust his palm directly into his chest and dug out a golden object.

"Holy crap! The Imperial Seal!" Xu Qi'an was stunned.

He never expected that his casual remark would frighten the mummified corpse into handing over the imperial seal!

"Now that I'm back in the capital, I can finally hold my head high in front of my master!"

"This disciple has not only completed the basic questions, but also solved the bonus questions!"

As he was pondering, the mummified corpse slowly spoke, "My lord must have come for the Imperial Seal."

“Back then, you left it inside me and told me to take good care of it.”

"I've kept it all this time..."

"Give it to me, stop babbling!" Xu Qi'an snatched the jade seal away, ignoring the corpse's nonsense.

However, the moment the jade seal was in hand, the mummified corpse's words came to an abrupt halt.

Suddenly, a withered hand bone extended and took the jade seal back!

Xu Qi'an estimated that there might be some connection between the so-called "lord" and the imperial seal.

"Ants!"

"How dare you impersonate my lord!"

"Unforgivable, deserving of death!"

The mummified corpse suddenly sprang to life, its aura surging!

"Kill the mummies!" Lina shouted, and charged forward!

"Release Junior Sister Luo immediately!" Daoist Jinlian shouted, then pulled Lina back.

Then, Xu Qi'an activated Thunder God Swiftness and swiftly descended from the high platform.

Then he saw Chu Yuanzhen take out a blue talisman and ignite it with his magic.

"Master, your disciple has discovered the Imperial Seal!"

Master Jinlian's heart skipped a beat. What jade seal?!

Judging from her tone, it seems that Junior Sister Luo knows about that jade seal!

The talisman turned to ashes, and Chu Yuanzhen's face turned pale. He immediately used his movement technique to dodge the attacks from the dried corpses.

"Scholar Chu, why hasn't the Imperial Advisor arrived yet!"

Chu Yuanzhen said anxiously, "I've never tried it either, I don't know!"

Just then, the top of the tomb shook violently, and golden light pierced through the top of the tomb.

Luo Yuheng, dressed in a long-sleeved feather robe and with a cinnabar mole between her brows, appeared before the mummified corpse.

"Come!"

With a clear shout, the jade seal in the mummified corpse's chest fell directly into Luo Yuheng's hands.

Everyone saw that Luo Yuheng's spirit held the jade seal, and a rare look of joy appeared on his face.

"What kind of monster are you!" the mummified corpse roared at Luo Yuheng.

"Humph."

Luo Yuheng gave a soft snort, then tossed the imperial seal to Chu Yuanzhen.

Xu Qi'an watched as Chu Yuanzhen stored the jade seal into the fragment of the Earth Book.

We were so close to getting the imperial seal!

The yellow-robed mummy flew into a rage, its mouth splitting open to reveal a set of sharp fangs!

"Roar!"
