Chapter 176: Seeking Death I watched in silence as Lu Ayao walked toward me. He ignored me at first, instead looking the White Corpse Turtle Immortal up and down where it was pinned to the wall, split in two by his Mountain-Cleaving Machete. Only after confirming it was thoroughly dead did he pull the blade free. Blood dripped all over the floor as he drew it out, bypassing me to sit in a dark corner of the passage. I sat where I was, taking a long moment to recover my wits. From the darkness about…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 177: Joining Forces Lu Ayao crushed the cigarette in his hand. I knew he must have come to his senses. I told myself that no matter what, reaching that realization was the first step. After all, he had just witnessed the corpse of a loved one; no matter how strong his mental state, there had to be an adjustment period. I would have to help him work through the rest once we got out of here. I nodded and began packing my things, ready to shoulder my bag again. Just then, I heard a rustling…

- Chapter 167: Wrapped Ancient Corpses As he spoke, I began to survey our surroundings. This was a new side chamber, more than twice the size of the previous one with the caisson ceiling and the tortoise, but the ceiling was relatively low. I wasn't sure why it had been designed that way. We sat in a corner of the side chamber, leaning against the wall. The walls here weren't as damp as before. I guessed we were deeper inside now, and this was likely just a simple storage area for funerary objects, as…

- Chapter 168: The Ancient Corpse's Waist Token He Yu let out a confused "Huh?", but Lu Ayao's expression remained dead serious, without a hint of a joke in his voice. The two of them stood there, staring at each other in a silent standoff for a long time. In a rare moment of explanation, Lu Ayao said, "I can use the compass to set our direction. If we're fast enough, we should be able to lose them. But judging by the size of that Tomb-guarding Beast outside, this tomb is massive. It's likely a long…

- Chapter 169: Master Jiyun's Ominous Tomb? "Master Jiyun? Why does that name sound so familiar?" He Yu stared up at the sky, looking like he was thinking hard. After a long moment, he let out a sudden "Oh!" of realization. "I remember now! He's that Feng Shui master!" I noticed that after I voiced my suspicion, Lu Ayao fell into a rare silence. I had a strong premonition that if the records in the Lu Family Ancestral Hall were the only things proving Master Jiyun's historical existence, then Lu Ayao's…

- Chapter 170: Parting Ways I was completely baffled by his words. I looked up at the column-head bracket sets in the Spirit Path. These architectural elements weren't commonly used in tomb passages; they were more typical of palaces. The designer had likely incorporated them into the Spirit Path to provide a robust structural barrier, offering significant support. However, I soon realized that I had never seen this particular style of bracket set before. Every joint and connection was unusual, and the…

- Chapter 171: The Mechanism Tian Xiaoqi and I continued forward along the plank path. The walkway, constructed from linked iron chains, was incredibly unstable. I had no idea how deep the darkness below went or how high up we were, so I didn't dare move too fast. This slowed our pace to a crawl, forcing us to stop every three steps. After walking for over half an hour, sweat pouring down my face, I shone my flashlight toward the end of the rift. I discovered the path was nearly at an end, and not far…

- Chapter 172: Severe Injuries The massive grinding of stone and the whistling of wind roared in my ears. Simultaneously, an even louder sound emerged. At first, I thought it was the resonance of dozens of stone beams moving in unison, but after listening for a while, I realized with a jolt of alarm that it wasn't. The realization hit when my leg touched a relief on the rock wall. It was a turtle-faced immortal holding a banner. This immediately put me on high alert, because this rock wall should have…
