Hum.

No sooner had Qing Han rushed out than the tendon tied to him blazed with gold.

Tremendous might radiated from it and pulled him back from midair.

A pair of strong arms wrapped around him, and a familiar voice spoke into his ear.

“Its okay, Qing Han!” garbled Lu Yun, his face pale and his clothes tattered.

“Im fine!”

The disguised girl bit into his lip and nodded, blinking back the tears welling up in his eyes.

“What happened” Lu Shenhou stared at Lu Yun with shock and confusion.

“Didnt the monster eat you”

“You pulled me out as soon as I broke the formation.” Lu Yun sneered at the giant zombie howling within the circle of green flames.

“That things turned into a grudge corpse after being sealed inside the formation and saturated with grudges and malevolent intent for countless years.

Grudge corpses are a mix of zombies and ghosts, with resentment that threatens even the heavens.”

Hed encountered a grudge corpse back in the Skandha Extinction Tomb.

However, that corpse had been created out of the curse that embodied the tomb, while this particular one had appeared simply because itd been here for too long, and there was nowhere else for the resentment to go.

“Its looking for a scapegoat,” Lu Yun spat out, his eyes fixed on the zombie.

“Grudge corpses are sentient.

This one wanted me to break the formation, so it allowed the fire to burn down the coffins.

That makes it easier for it to possess me and escape!”

He hadnt known how he could break the formation, but when he restrained the two lanterns at the entrance, an errant thought came to him to keep their flames.

Stray inspiration and experience with feng shui prompted him to set fire to the outer-coffins.

Corpse-fostering formations not only fostered zombies, but were also a seal that trapped the zombies to guard the main tomb.

The grudge corpse had planned to possess Lu Yun to regain its freedom, but Qing Hans quick actions had prevented that possibility.

It was part of the formation, and the latters destruction would bring about the others doom.

Sensing its imminent demise, the grudge corpse released its consciousness to create the illusion that Lu Yun had been eaten to lure others in.

Itd been here for a very long time and had developed a very powerful consciousness.

Without the formation suppressing it, it was easy enough for it to deceive a few cultivators.

As the grudge corpse shrieked with pain inside the green fire, it glared malevolently at Lu Yun.

“Fortunately, after years of deterioration, six of the seven zombies have disintegrated, leaving behind only one.” Lu Yun sighed in relief.

Zombies were creatures abandoned by heaven and earth, forgotten by life and death.

They were essentially immortal if nothing put them down.

Sealed within corpse-fostering formations, however, they lived only as long as the formation did.

Although Lu Shenhou had seen zombies lying inside all seven of the coffins, thered actually only been one left.

In roughly four hours, the formation ahead was nothing but burnt remains.

All that was left were two shriveled lanterns, and bone powder and ashes left by the grudge corpse.

“What was that fire” Wu Tulong knelt down to pinch a fingerful of ashes.

“It can burn zombies.

Not even your Daevic Skyfire can do that.”

“How do you know it cant” Lu Yun shook his head.

“The Daevic Skyfire can destroy the formation, but will also destroy the tomb in the process.”

The three immortal fires had once burned down a giant zombie tree, which was much more powerful than the grudge corpse.

However, with their powers unleashed to that point, Lu Yun wouldnt be able to control it, and the fire would consume everyone.

“The fire is a ghostly fire refined from the living souls of 99,999 children born in an yin hour in a yin year.

Their souls were extracted from them when they turned seven,” Lu Yun said in an impassive voice.

“All things have their natural bane.

That flame is the bane of all zombies and ghosts.”

Everyone shuddered involuntarily.

The lantern spirits had been the living souls of the children, and the lanterns themselves were made of their flesh and bones.

Lu Yun had seen that all with his Spectral Eyes, and that the lanterns destruction had freed the children.

“What a foul person the owner of the tomb was.” Qing Han blanched.

“Lamps made of children and the corpse-fostering formation...

they must have been a terrible scourge!”

Lu Yun nodded in agreement.

Hed attempted to locate the tomb owner with the Spectral Eye, but there was too much information for him to parse through the great number of people who had died here.

He couldnt determine who was the original buried dead.

“Lu Yun,” said Zi Chen.

Hed been the quietest among them.

Lu Yun turned to him.

“Yes”

“Do you know what youre doing now is much more terrifying than your ability to refine a Heaven Descent Pill” Zi Chen fixated on Lu Yun with his light purple eyes.

Lu Shenhou had come with more than twenty people, and many of them had died in the first chamber.

By contrast, Lu Yun had easily destroyed the terrifying corpse-fostering formation and kept his companions safe.

The others shifted penetrating gazes to Lu Yun.

Tomb-raiding skills were the most useful in the current world of immortals, given the plethora of tombs.

Excavating an ancient tomb built for an immortal could make an average house one of the top factions in the world.

“Wanna learn” Lu Yun smirked at them.

“I can teach you, but youll have to become my disciples.”

“Pft.” Mo Qitian snorted.

“In your dreams.

Im more interested in becoming an advising elder to Dusk Province.”

Lu Yun perked up.

“Youre welcome anytime.”

“Lets go.

Weve solved the first chamber.

Its time to move on.” Dongfang Hao suddenly turned to Lu Shenhou.

“Will the complete cultivation path manifest in the next chamber”

A tremor ran through the crowd.

Compared to Lu Yuns tomb raiding skills, the cultivation path was obviously much more important.

“There are three burial chambers here.

I sensed the missing realm in the third one.” Lu Shenhous expression turned serious.

“Be careful though.

The thing within the next chamber is too powerful.

I only survived and entered the third chamber by pulling out my trump card.”

“Whats in the second chamber” frowned Wu Tulong.

Confusion clouded Lu Shenhous eyes.

He shook his head.

“I dont know.

I only remember that everyone died in the second chamber.

I made it to the next chamber only because of the dao immortal power the ancestor gifted me.

I cant recall what exactly we encountered.”

That alarmed everyone.

Had something within had wiped his memory clean

“The second chamber is where the third layer of coiled mountains lay.” Lu Yun frowned at his rotating luopan.

“There are four layers of obstacles within the Door of Demise.

Every one of them is more powerful than its previous, and all four layers of obstacles working in concert may result in even greater power.

“Although Ive destroyed two layers, the third is still going to be dangerous.

Follow me.” When the indicator settled in one direction, Lu Yun took point.

“Its not there,” Lu Shenhou blurted out when he saw his clansman walk in another direction.

“It should be this way.”

“That chamber is fake.” Lu Yun glanced at him.

“The real second chamber should be an annex room with the tomb owners treasures or texts.

Nothing but danger lies in the direction youre pointing at.”

Lu Shenhou fell silent.

“Listen to Lu Yun,” said Wu Tulong.

“Hes our leader here.”

The others followed agreeably.

Lu Shenhou however, threw a yearning glance in the other direction.

It seemed like he felt a deep attachment to whatever was in that direction.

“Come… come on… Theres treasure here...” A faint voice rang in the air.

“Hes lying… there are treasures… Come, come on...”

The voice built in strength, and even Wu Tulong couldnt help but turn to look.

That was where Lu Shenhou had wanted to go.

An archaic bronze door barred the way, before it was a white figure waving at them.

“Come.

Come to me...”

“Is there really treasure there” muttered Mo Qitian, confusion flashing through his eyes.

He made his way to the door.

“Dont!” Zi Chen grabbed him and tried to turn him around.

“Let go!!” Mo Qitian turned and roared.

“What the hell!” Zi Chen let go of his peer in shock.

Mo Qitians face had turned a sickly white.

His mouth now an ugly tear, something had ripped it to both sides of his ears, almost bisecting his head.

“Im coming, Im coming...” Eerie smile splitting his face, he walked toward the white figure.

“Freeze!” With a wave of his hand, Lu Yun attached a talisman to Mo Qitians head and immobilized him.

“Anyone who stands in my way… die!!” Seeing that Lu Yun had subdued Mo Qitian, the white figure screamed inhumanely and flashed to the governor.

Its face was only three inches away from Lu Yuns.

Lu Yun saw a pale face with a torn mouth reaching both ears… It looked just like what Mo Qitian had turned into!
