n Qin once said that calling someone's name is an expression of emotion. Just a few words can reveal one person's attitude towards another."He also laughed, closed the folder and tossed it lightly ont..."You, who are you Are you Long Xiaoge's ancestor" I grew bolder and dared to ask him loudly.

He nodded slightly and drifted into the depths of the mountain.

I patted Bai Ni, and Bai Ni followed me down. When we encountered a steep drop, Bai Ni took me down safely.

Bai Ni having arrived, Mu Wanchen should be here soon. I'm feeling bolder now, and as I walk, I ask: "Old Immortal, why are there so many interconnected caves here They look like they were carved by divine power..."

The dessert is good, I can't call people old ghosts, can I

The other party seemed pleased with the title, chuckling softly in a raspy voice that echoed through the darkness: "This is an abandoned altar... over time, earthquakes and tremors have caused the stones to crumble..."

That's right, there have been two earthquakes in the past year, and historically there are countless aftershocks that have affected this area.

"Well, those...bones...er, are they...sacrifices" I asked cautiously.

Since he said it was abandoned, it should have been a long time since anyone had used it for human sacrifice.

It's possible that this chain of caves is so ancient, it existed long before this old immortal.

The deeper you go, the more evident human traces become.

Until I saw a huge tomb, big as a honeycomb.

The phone's light could only illuminate the side of the mountain wall closest to me, where there were "little compartments" lining it.

Each grid cell contains a skeleton, the most obvious being the skulls.

It seems like this is a mass grave. I swallowed hard, a graveyard, how could there possibly be an exit

Legend has it that not all tombs have a Dragon Slaying Stone. Once you go in and put down the Dragon Slaying Stone, you'll never be able to come out again.

But this old immortal's tomb was rather magical, it was actually connected to a chain of altars, and there was a gentle breeze blowing through—there was air, indicating that there was a passage here leading to the outside world.

I didn't dare to walk any further, the ghostly figure was becoming more and more distinct, as if the closer it got to the center of the tomb, the clearer it became.

"Old immortal, how do I get out I won't disturb you anymore..." I asked softly.

Bai Ni seems to be able to smell the wind, it knows how to take me out, right I just don't know if this old immortal will let me go.

"Ha ha ha ha....what's the rush....the person you're looking for will be here soon...just stay put here nicely..." a raspy voice answered me.

This is a graveyard, a place where so many bones lie in eternal slumber. How can I possibly stand here

"You... are you truly asleep here I won't disturb you... or perhaps, I should just leave." I clung tightly to Bai Ni, not daring to move an inch.

Bai Ni's cold scales looked even more chilling here. She and the underground tomb were a perfect match; she felt right at home, while I, a living person, felt my energy being drained just standing here for a while.

The crevice in the mountain I came down from is on the left side of this large tomb chamber, seeming like a "side door" to this place because I see a massive door directly across from me.

This floor also has hidden stone rollers, indicating that it can be pushed open.

But it can only be pushed open or closed from the outside, and it cannot be opened from inside.

Is this to prevent the "things" in the tomb from running out

"Elder Immortal, I'm afraid I'm intruding here My husband is still upstairs with Long Brother dealing with the corpse puppets. He'll be back to find me in a while. Why don't you point me in the right direction so I can leave, so he doesn't disturb you."

The apparition's form grew more distinct, and I dimly saw a shriveled and gaunt skeleton. But this skeleton had facial hair, and now it was surrounded by a hazy aura.

"Ha ha ha ha... There's a barrier here, ordinary magic can't get in... If you want to go out, you can only wait for someone to open this door..."

No way… I should let Bai Ni go back and tell Mu Wanchen and Long Ge, right

But here I am, alone in this bone-chilling tomb, with a "holy man" hovering nearby. I don't know how long my courage will last.

Looking for a place to be an ostrich My gaze followed the light from my phone and landed on a small stone door at the back of the tomb.

"That door at the back, you can't touch it, don't even touch it... There are many returning corpse kings inside, outsiders going in would startle them..." A raspy voice immediately reminded me.

Corpse King What the heck… I was so scared I couldn't even make a sound, and I secretly hugged Bai Ni. There are not only ghosts here but also a Corpse King, Bai Ni must not leave at all.

The ghostly laughter echoed, a grating rasp that continued, “You’re a clever little one... This King hasn't taken a life in many years, you needn't fear, don't you worry…”

"That... Brother Long once joked with me: the entire Miao Wang City has been vacant for too long, the Yin Qi is too heavy, it's not good for the Great Corpse King to stay awake. This time, so many people have come, just their life energy is enough... Could it be, you are..."

King of the Dead.

"Hee hee hee... That child... Truly a filial and virtuous descendant..." The ghost's form flickered and swayed. Upon closer inspection, besides the terrifying countenance, there was indeed a touch of... ethereal grace.

"The last time I saw you little ones was years ago… I've forgotten, time means nothing to me anymore. You carry an unusual aura, so I sensed it as soon as you fell into the pit…"

I swallowed nervously, "Thank you for not blaming me for intruding. I really fell down the hole, and I didn't mean to..."

"Ha ha ha ha... that pit... is the old offering passage..."

What So the skeleton I crushed wasn't an accidental casualty, but was thrown in there and stuck

The Corpse King saw my astonishment and laughed. "Haven't you heard the legend of the Cave Woman Those women who married mountain gods...ha ha ha..."

"In my lifetime, I killed countless people, but the divine beings of the underworld affirmed my accomplishments, telling me that my karmic debts had not yet been fully repaid... I wonder how many more years I can continue to protect this place..."

This Corpse King has a story too.

"You...did you do something great" He claimed to be a seasoned killer, yet he received praise from the Emperor That's truly peculiar.

The ghost of the Great Corpse King let out a few hoarse laughs, and in a raspy voice said: "Although I rule over one side, wield absolute power, and have vengeful spirits under my command, I have never forgotten my ancestors or betrayed my clan. When outsiders invaded, slaughtering rivers and mountains, the Miao King City also sheltered the living and defended the ancestral temple and the country to the death... Hahahaha.... How many years... How many years..."

Just hearing a few words, you can imagine a historical drama unfolding. On matters of principle, he never went astray, so he remained and did not perish.

But the Great Corpse King wasn't willing to say more. He suddenly fell silent and sneered, "......The person you're looking for has arrived. It's truly...overreaching."

Who was I looking for I didn't react, but the sound of the Shimen rolling shutter reached my ears.

Someone came and pushed the door open from outside..., rightSeeing him rush straight to the border checkpoint's security management office, he must be trying to contact Sister Lu.This can't be done!If Lu Jie knew I hadn't accomplished anything and almos...
