Chapter 0450: Totem in the Tomb Chamber

The moment the Ghost Kings flew out of the water, all the Martial Kings were momentarily stunned, their expressions frozen in shock.

There were an overwhelming number of Ghost Kings, totaling over a hundred.

In the brief moment of panic and shock that gripped the Martial Kings, Qin Yun, holding Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi who were bound by chains, activated his Piercing Mystic Art and charged towards the door.

Seeing the Ghost Kings approaching, the Martial Kings glared at Qin Yun in fury, intent on killing him, but found that he had slipped through the door and disappeared!

No one had expected that Zi Qingcheng's seemingly foolish cousin possessed such a bizarre and unexpected ability to penetrate objects at will.

Old Eagle felt a wave of relief wash over him. If anything had happened to Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi, he would have felt guilty. After all, his conscience would have tormented him, and he was now with Old Lady Du and the others.

"Let's get out of here quickly!" Old Eagle decided not to enter the immortal tomb and immediately took to the skies, fleeing the scene.

The Ghost Kings had already attacked, and dozens of Martial Kings hurriedly formed a defensive line, while the warriors of the Xuan Martial realm went to open the gate...

...

After Qin Yun, with Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi, slipped through the door, he quickly swallowed a Yuan Replenishing Pill and helped them remove the chains.

He had been continuously using the Piercing Mystic Art, which left him severely drained.

After swallowing the Yuan Replenishing Pill, he could quickly replenish the energy within his core.

The Yuan Replenishing Pill only affects a single core, quickly replenishing it to full.

Qin Yun had three cores, so he could only recover up to thirty percent.

But this was still quite good, considering he had almost exhausted himself earlier.

"The gate is moving... they're coming in!" Zi Qingcheng urgently said.

She and Shui Tianzi were convinced they were doomed, never expecting Qin Yun to suddenly rush over, slay the Oxheaded Ghost Soldiers, and enter the immortal tomb.

Qin Yun had saved them again!

Shui Tianzi also knew that Qin Yun was heavily drained, so she quickly supported him and softly said, "You rest first, leave this place to me and Qingcheng!"

The tomb was pitch black, enveloped in darkness, but Qin Yun could vaguely make out through his spiritual energy that it was a large hall.

On the left and right walls of the hall, there were nine doors each, spaced quite far apart, and it was unclear where they led.

"Let's just choose a door!" Zi Qingcheng took out her weapons, two long hooks, and walked ahead.

While supporting Qin Yun, Shui Tianzi also channeled energy into his body to help him recover quickly.

The noise from the gate grew louder, as if it could open at any moment.

Zi Qingcheng quickly approached a door, opened it, and a thick, chilling deathly aura spilled out, causing her to step back repeatedly.

"It must be very dangerous inside, should we go in?" Zi Qingcheng was anxious, looking at the gate.

If the gate opened, a large group of Martial Kings and Ghost Kings would come in, and they would surely be captured.

"Let's go in!" Qin Yun said.

Zi Qingcheng walked ahead, and Shui Tianzi, supporting Qin Yun, followed closely behind.

After they all entered, Zi Qingcheng quickly closed the stone door, so no one knew that they had entered the door.

Boom!

Not long after they entered, the huge red door outside was blasted open.

A surge of violent shockwaves rushed in, as the Martial Kings and Ghost Kings were engaged in a fierce battle outside.

A group of fighters from the Xuan Martial realm and Spirit Martial realm rushed in.

They were all injured, some even severely wounded, some even mutilated.

Outside, there were also some corpses, all killed by the Ghost Kings.

They despised that idiot cousin!

The Martial Kings began to enter the dark hall, but the Ghost Kings did not follow.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The Martial Kings, however, remained shaken as they looked at the monstrous Ghost Kings outside.

Just moments ago, two Martial Kings were killed!

"Mu Fengxiao, it's all your fault! Why didn't you grab that fool?" one Martial King scolded Mu Fengxiao angrily.

"What does it have to do with me? That fool could easily phase through your bodies, possessing a very special ability. Grabbing him was like grabbing air!" Mu Fengxiao sneered. "Blame yourselves! To open the door, you sacrificed two innocent women, which enraged that fool!"

"This matter could have been handled diplomatically! For example, we could have subdued the bull-headed man. As long as he wasn't killed, the Ghost Kings wouldn't have come ashore!"

"But you all listened to that crap from Master Wang Tian, following his every word! That's what led to this disaster! You just forced two women into such a tragic situation, committing such inhumane acts. You'll face retribution!"

The Martial Kings were furious, wanting to beat Mu Fengxiao, but they held back.

The people from the Qiwen Palace were not to be trifled with, and Mu Fengxiao held a high status.

At this moment, someone took out a luminous stone, illuminating the hall and revealing nine doors on each side.

"That fool must have entered one of these doors. We must chase them down and make them suffer!" Master Wang Tian roared in anger. He was also severely injured, having lost an arm.

"There are eighteen doors in total. Let's divide into eighteen teams and enter!" a Bloodline Martial King suggested.

Mu Fengxiao frowned. "I don't know what dangers await us inside. We should stay together, not divide up. Otherwise, if we encounter danger, we won't have enough strength to fight back, and we might die here!"

"The Ghost Kings refused to enter, which means it's safe inside!"

"Exactly! If you're scared to die, don't go in!"

"Mu Fengxiao, are you worried we'll kill that fool? That fool tricked us, but you profited over a billion purple crystal coins from it! Are you planning to team up with him in the future to scam others out of their purple crystal coins?"

"You fat bastard, your Qiwen Palace is too underhanded!"

Many Martial Kings accused him.

Mu Fengxiao snorted. "Don't slander me! Fine, do as you please. I'm not going in. I'm too scared of dying!"

Mu Fengxiao really didn't go in. Instead, he took out a plush rocking chair and sat on it.

Soon, they divided into eighteen teams, each comprising eight or nine members, with at least two Martial Kings and the rest being Xuan Martial realm and Spirit Martial realm fighters.

They each entered through the stone doors on either side of the hall.

Mu Fengxiao just hoped Qin Yun could make it out of this mess!

...

Once Zi Qingcheng and the others stepped through the door, they broke into a brisk jog.

Qin Yun also unleashed the puppet he'd crafted earlier. He lacked the usual totem patterns for puppets but had the rare Puppet Star Patterns instead.

He turned the Puppet Star Patterns into a talisman, slapped it on the back of an iron man, and voilà—he could make it run.

The iron puppet led the way, acting as their early warning system.

The passage stretched on endlessly, its destination a mystery.

Qin Yun and the others crept forward, tense and silent.

After three grueling hours, they stumbled out of the dark passage into a vast stone chamber.

Shui Tianzi pulled out a glowing stone, lighting up the chamber, and frowned. "No door—it's a dead end!"

Qin Yun, standing in the chamber's center, exclaimed, "There's a formation here!"

The chamber's dark stone walls made the formation invisible to the naked eye.

But Qin Yun felt it—a faint pulse beneath his feet.

He rushed to the center, pressed his palm to the ground, and channeled a surge of spiritual energy. Feeling the formation respond, he triggered it.

A glowing white circle materialized on the chamber floor.

"Get in, now!" Qin Yun barked.

Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi darted to Qin Yun's side.

"It's a teleportation array!" Qin Yun announced, activating it.

In a flash, they were inside a colossal tomb chamber bathed in an eerie red glow.

Qin Yun was horrified—this place mirrored the Tianxiao Emperor's Mausoleum, but here, the coffins weren't hidden in side chambers. Here, the jade coffins were laid out in the open. These jade coffins were identical to the ones in the Tianxiao Emperor's Mausoleum!

"This tomb is massive—there must be ten thousand jade coffins here!" Zi Qingcheng gasped, hovering above the scene.

Qin Yun marched up to a jade coffin, heaved it open, and found a skeleton inside!

"Did all the dead from the Tianxiao Emperor's Mausoleum end up here?" Qin Yun wondered, convinced it was likely.

He opened coffin after coffin, each holding a skeleton with no identifying marks.

The outer coffins held Martial Body realm cultivators, their power still faintly detectable. Those further in were Martial Dao realm.

Shui Tianzi, near the far wall, waved her glowing stone. "Brother Yun, come look! There's a totem here!"

Qin Yun and Zi Qingcheng closed the coffin lid and then dashed over.

Indeed, on the stone wall illuminated by Shui Tianzi, totem patterns were carved, but they were not very clear.

"Can you tell what kind of totem it is?" Zi Qingcheng asked curiously.

Shui Tianzi shook her head, "I can't discern what totem it is, it's too blurry, some details are lost, and this totem seems to be very large!"

Qin Yun stood a bit further away, about ten meters from the wall, and could see all the totem patterns.

"It appears to be a bird totem!"

He asked Mo Mo if she was willing to be seen by Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi, and after some consideration, she agreed to come out.

So, he let Mo Mo come out from the storage space.

As soon as Mo Mo came out, she shouted, "This is a very powerful bird, as powerful as the Sky Lion, specifically designed to deal with dragons!"

Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi, seeing such an adorable and beautiful little spirit in Qin Yun's palm, were immediately astonished.

They could tell at a glance that it was a magic spirit!

Even in Wuhuang, such magic spirits are very famous because they can bestow totems upon people.

"Someone is coming!"

Qin Yun was suddenly startled, quickly put Mo Mo away, then ran to Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi, firmly grasped their delicate hands, and simultaneously activated shadow power to conceal themselves in the shadows.

There were eight people coming, one of whom Qin Yun was very familiar with—it was Master Wang Tian!
