Chapter 571: Unimpeded Passage >

Xuanwu kingdoms:"You guys shouldn't just stand there and laugh. Panlong Nation dares to scheme against us, do you think they would bypass you It's only because they lack the capability to attack thre...R ripples slowly walked forward, a layer of gold light clinging to her hands, and slowly reached toward the top of a guard's head. A minute later, she withdrew her hand, her brows furrowed tightly.

Because these four guard sculptures were made from living people.

The owner of the tomb was a king from a thousand years ago. When he was young, he was the regent king and held great power in the court.

But as he grew older, he became more afraid of death and wanted to hold onto power for as long as possible, enjoying the worship of everyone.

So, he began his pursuit of immortality. However, there were many charlatans, and those with genuine ability refused to be manipulated. The Regent King could only watch as he aged, growing increasingly agitated.

But the puppet emperor had a daring plan, to eliminate his uncle who usurped the throne.

The emperor found a heretic who proclaimed to the prince another way of immortality, continuing as a ghost emperor in the underworld after death.

The aging regent, knowing his time was short, chose to believe the heretical words and began to build his own tomb.

And the location of the cemetery was chosen by the evil cult. Their purpose was simple: to avoid offending the emperor while also making the regent useful to them.

The method is extremely vicious. The cemetery was built on a place where spirits are raised, preventing the Regent King from returning to the underworld after death. Instead, he is trapped here, slowly growing into a powerful ghost king, and under the influence of evil cults, he becomes their ace in the hole.

This way, the emperor is satisfied, and the regent can also exist for a long time, achieving the goal of longevity.

The plan went very smoothly. The Regent poured a lot of silver, and despite the numerous casualties, the mausoleum complex was finally completed, built in the style of his five-entrance residence before his death.

... ensuring that even in death, he could continue to enjoy himself in the underworld. To maintain secrecy, he even had the construction workers building his tomb murdered. The mass grave we just processed is just one of many.

And in order to accumulate enough resentment, the Regent King listened to the deceitful ramblings of the wicked and used living people to burn pottery figurines as his funerary companions. Even in the underworld, he wanted attendants and a sufficient army to protect him.

After everything was ready, the evil sorcerer held a burial ceremony on an auspicious day. At that time, the regent prince still had a breath left in him; he wanted to personally witness his own funeral, which was quite bizarre.

And this perfectly matched the requirements of the evil cult's ghost raising ritual. Everything went smoothly. The regent entered alive and was trapped by the evil cult in the core of the ghost raising ground, waiting for the other party to become powerful before making the regent recognize him as his master.

After the Evil Path left, he also concealed the entire mountain, fearing that the emperor would discover his plot and ruin his plans. He waited for the regent prince to grow up, then it would be his time to reap the rewards.

Unfortunately, he never came back after leaving. As time passed and the world changed, the hidden techniques used by the evil cult lost their effectiveness, and this forest reappeared before people once again.

But because of the cemetery's existence, coupled with the unique terrain here, the ghosts are still trapped inside and unable to leave.

This time, several adventure-seeking friends broke the closed loop of the haunted place. Coupled with the entry of the archaeological team, they disturbed the ghosts inside. They found that once they could leave, they immediately rushed out.

Unfortunately, this year was the closest time the sun had been to the planet, and the sunlight was at its strongest. When they emerged, they were unable to adapt to the outside environment and could only return to their graves. Then, wisely, they chose to wander the graveyard at night.

After daybreak, they will return to the cemetery seeking shelter again.

After the ripples passed, the spirits who dared to wander the camp during the day were all somewhat capable. In just a few days, these spirits' adaptability grew stronger and stronger.

If she's any later than five more days, these things will be completely gone from this haunted place.

They haven't left because they haven't adapted to the outside environment. Another reason is that instinctively, they know staying in the graveyard is beneficial to them.

And the four terracotta warriors in front of the ripples were the captains of the bodyguard squad in front of the regent king. They were originally just guarding the gate and couldn't even get close to the regent king.

But the regent spoke up, his tomb also needed guards. Four people were rendered unconscious without any resistance and turned into guards for the tomb. They watched their own life force slip away with their own eyes, so you can imagine how heavy their resentment was.

Ripple sighed. Right now, she couldn't release the four souls. Doing so would easily alert the Lord, but letting them continue to collide would shatter the clay confining them.

So Lian Ri took out four talismans from space, waving her hand to infuse them into the four guard terracotta warriors, causing the souls within to fall asleep.

Then she stepped into the tomb door behind the four.

As soon as the ripples stepped into the scene, everything around transformed in a blink of an eye, becoming just like the courtyard of a wealthy and noble household.

A man in servant's attire walked respectfully toward Ripples, performed a traditional bow, and then spoke:

"I wonder, Miss, what brings you to my door alone"

Ripple glanced at the other person's pale face, then looked at the little ghost that floated over uselessly. She said calmly:

"Several of my friends trespassed here. Their families worried and sent guards to look for them, but the guards didn't return either. So I had to come myself."

"I wonder where my friends and guards are If it's convenient, please allow me to take them away."

The little devil listened to Lian Yi's words, his face unchanged. He still said respectfully:

"Miss, those people you mentioned, I have indeed seen them. But they trespassed without permission and angered the Regent King, so he had them all locked up."

We, the lowborn, have no right to release him.

"Then tell your Regent that we have arrived."

Ripples said softly.

He held out a delicately crafted card to the other person.

The little ghost respectfully took it and then invited ripples to wait in the side hall, saying he would go to report.

As soon as Lian Yi sat down in the side hall, a little ghost dressed as a maidservant brought out some refreshments, looking quite official.

But in the ripples' eyes, the dish was filled with dark, unidentified things, and the tea was a crimson liquid, smelling foul. She didn't even touch it.

After waiting for a moment, the little ghost floated back down and said in ripples:

"My regent wishes to see you."

"Thanks, lead the way!"

The ripples stood up and said with a smile.

"Miss, this way!"

The subordinate led the way, guiding Ripples through one courtyard after another until they reached the last and largest, most luxurious house.

Along the way, every ghost and demon I encountered was very polite in their greetings, and there were also sneaky eyes watching from the shadows.

When the ripples entered the magnificent hall, he saw the virile and handsome regent king. At this time, he was holding a seductive and beautiful concubine in red in his arms.

"You have guts, daring to enter my territory alone."

The Regent held a golden wine goblet in his hand, staring at Ripples with piercing eyes and said bluntly.

As the saying goes, one has to venture into the tiger's den to catch its cubs.e wouldn't be chased all the way here!"Xiong Zigeng roared loudly, but as a result, he was beheaded by Lian Ri's sword and lost the chance to argue."You really have some nerve, letting your words slip...
