Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Great Sage Tomb
Huh?
Jiang Fan thought to himself, “Is there something underground?”
“You demons really have no idea?”
Sea Charm's expression turned a bit grim.
Ling Shu also rarely showed a look of displeasure.
Apparently, the two disciples from the Great Yin Sect calling them barbarians was really impolite.
Sea Charm said, “That's not it.”
“When this place was first discovered, the previous emperors of the Demon Race determined that there was something beneath this sealing.”
“But our Demon Race doesn't have historical records from ancient times.”
“We couldn't determine what was sealed below, so we dared not act recklessly.”
Ling Shu, who frequently read books, knew a bit more in detail.
“Actually, there was a generation of Demon Emperors who had thought about using the ancient array method before he was about to sit to die.”
“He hoped to find some opportunities for breakthrough, thus increasing his strength to extend his life.”
“But after he went once, he returned with serious injuries.”
“He died of his injuries in just three short days.”
“He not only didn't extend his life but sat to die prematurely.”
Jiang Fan was taken aback.
The Demon Emperor returned with serious injuries?
He focused and asked, “What did the Demon Emperor discover down below?”
Ling Shu shook her head, “I don't know.”
“I only know that the Demon Emperor returned with a face full of panic.”
“Before his death, he issued an order.”
“Forbid all future generations of the Demon Race from probing the things beneath the sealing.”
“Otherwise, they would bear the consequences themselves.”
“Since then, the Demon Race completely gave up any thoughts of coveting what was underground.”
Hiss!
Jiang Fan felt a slight chill down his spine.
What kind of terrifying thing lay beneath this sealing?
Squeak–
Just at this moment.
The gigantic purple stone used as the eye of the array was successfully removed after manipulation by the two.
The ancient array that had operated for a millennium slowly stopped functioning.
The ground of the main hall.
Suddenly seemed to lose its support.
Apart from the eye of the array.
The ground rumbled and sank.
A large swath of blood-red light erupted from underground, casting the entire underground chamber in a blood-red glow.
As if the mythic infernal hell.
Looking down.
The underground of this great hall turned out to be a blood pool!
Within the blood pool.
A bronze coffin suspended in the blood.
As the sealing was lifted, the blood pool began to surge, slapping against the bronze coffin, making a wailing sound.
As if wild ghosts were sobbing in sorrow.
Under the blood-red setting, it was particularly eerie.
“A blood pool cultivates a bronze coffin, a red demon masters the yellow springs!”
The woman excitedly said, “That ancient book of the Demon Race didn't deceive us.”
“This place is from ancient times, the tomb of a great sage who fell here!”
“Because she was still incredibly powerful even after death, to prevent her from wreaking havoc posthumously, she was permanently suppressed!”
The man was equally fervent: “The ancient book said.”
“The powerful artifact that belonged to that great sage was also buried here.”
“We're going to strike it rich!”
What?
A great sage's tomb?
Sea Charm and Ling Shu were shocked, full of disbelief.
Ling Shu stammered, “Brother… did you hear that?”
“There's a great sage's tomb below!”
Sea Charm's eyes shone with fervor, also somewhat inarticulately: “Is there an opportunity for breaking through to Nascent Soul here?”
After a brief reflection, Jiang Fan decisively said, “Let's go!”
Huh?
Go?
The two women hesitated.
This was a great sage's tomb, with even the smallest artifact being almost a creation of destiny.
They had come all the way here, having discovered an immensely great secret.
And now leave?
“These words were intentionally said for us to hear.”
“They've already discovered us.”
Hmm?
The two women were startled, immediately following Jiang Fan in retreating without a second thought.
After just a few steps back.
The underground where they had been standing suddenly cracked wide open.
Two corpses emitting dense Yin Qi suddenly erupted from the ground below.
They launched an attack on the three of them.
Sea Charm, acting instinctively, raised her hand and struck with two palms.
Bang bang–
With two muffled sounds, the two corpses were blasted away, falling into the blood pool below.
The corpses immediately emerged from the blood, but they didn't continue to chase the two.
Instead, they blocked before the two disciples of the Great Yin Sect.
Sea Charm looked at her own fist.
Her fist was charred black.
It was the extremely dense Yin Qi entering her body.
A chilling tingling sensation surged, causing her to slightly frown.
What strong Yin Qi.
Thankfully, Jiang Fan had given a timely warning, otherwise, they might have been taken by surprise by the two Yin Corpses ambushing underground.
The consequences would have been more than just charred fists.
She might've been severely injured.
Feeling the sting on her fist worsen.
She quickly clung to Jiang Fan.
As a Thunder Arc entered her body, the massive amount of Yin Qi on her fist turned into black smoke and left her body.
Ling Shu had a look of relief from surviving a disaster.
Sea Charm's fist was burnt black. If she had been hit by one, at the very least it would have pierced her body, right?
“Brother, how did you know he discovered us?”
Now that both sides had discovered each other, Ling Shu felt there was no need to communicate telepathically.
Jiang Fan said, “It's simple.”
“If you knew about a great sage's tomb, and also knew about her Magic Artifact here.”
“Would you secretly take the Magic Artifact.”
“Or generously write about it in a book and share it with the world?”
Uh–
Is there even a need to ask?
Unless one is a selfless saint, who wouldn't be envious of a great sage's Magic Artifact?
Clearly,
The male disciple had made up the story on the spot.
It was a story full of holes.
Ling Shu's face reddened, sticking her tongue out: “I can't believe I fell for such a false story.”
Thinking back, she almost believed those words.
She felt utterly embarrassed.
She was already like this, so Sea Charm felt even more embarrassed:
“My cultivation is lacking.”
“To fall for such a simple trap.”
It was apparent.
The male disciple had already noticed their presence.
To avoid alarming them, he purposely self-narrated the story of the great sage's Magic Artifact,
manipulating them into making a grab for it.
If they really had acted,
The Hidden Corpses lurking underground would have ambushed them unexpectedly.
However,
the two disciples from the Great Yin Sect misjudged two things.
First, Jiang Fan saw through his plan.
Second, by Jiang Fan's side was a world-class expert who had achieved Ninth Layer Perfection in Core Formation.
Thus,
the two disciples from the Great Yin Sect immediately switched to a defensive posture.
The male disciple, about twenty years old, perhaps due to longstanding closeness to Yin Corpses,
had pale, bloodless skin like a corpse that had been soaked for days.
His eyes were sunken, casting an especially sinister gaze at others.
“I am Wang Chongxiao of the Great Yin Sect, who are you?”
Wang Chongxiao hid behind a Yin Corpse, only partially visible as he shouted from afar.
He curiously inspected the strange group before him.
Two women and one man; nothing unusual about that.
But both women were holding onto the man.
It didn't look like they were here for an adventure; it was more like they were taking a casual day trip with their beautiful wives or concubines!
For crying out loud, this is a Secret Realm.
And you're flaunting your two partners?
Utterly ridiculous!
Jiang Fan gave a casual glance over the two, all the while squinting his eyes to observe the surroundings.
“How about you summon all your Yin Corpses out before we talk?”
Wang Chongxiao frowned and said, “You know about the Yin Corpses?”
“It seems your identity isn't simple either.”
“However, we only have two Yin Corpses…”
Before he could finish.
Jiang Fan tapped the tip of his foot.
A powerful Thunderbolt instantly coursed into the ground, dispersing into countless arcs of thunder.
Like an electrified net, enveloping every corner of the Secret Realm.
Sparks sizzled–
From the walls, under the earth, and even just beneath where Jiang Fan and the others stood.
A black Yin Qi steamed up in abundance.
Wang Chongxiao and the female disciple's faces changed.
They hastily pleaded, “Please, Sir, show mercy!”
