Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

The Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor slowly writhed within the rock strata, with faint red blood mist occasionally emanating from it.

The atmosphere was oppressive, like a dark cloud hanging over everyone's heads.

"We don't have much time left, we need to speed things up a bit."

Feng Ziping looked at that scene and spoke up.

This Nine Deaths Terrifying Mausoleum Armor is the culmination of the Guanshan lineage's efforts. Even an emperor would not be able to enter without losing several thousand men, yet they only had a handful of people.

If you get trapped inside, there's absolutely no chance of survival.

"Let's see if there are any more clues. If there's nothing, we should leave."

Without Feng Ziping needing to urge him further, Su Chen understood that this matter couldn't be delayed, and immediately had others start searching.

This trick actually uncovered some other things.

The Record of Excavating Hidden Treasures in Guanshan contains many records about Feng Shigu's life, which seem to be a record of Feng Shigu's life.

As mentioned above, Feng Shigu was once deeply favored by the emperor, but because he robbed the ancestral tombs of his colleagues, he was framed by his fellow disciples and had to return home.

Upon returning to Wushan, he followed the example of the Feng family patriarch and attempted to rob tombs in Guanxia, ​​but his gains were far less than before. Later, he learned of the Wuyang King's tomb and went down there himself.

After stealing, he discovered that below the Coffin Gorge in Wushan, there was a place shaped like a headless god and another place shaped like a coffin, which was the legendary Pangu Divine Vein.

He also discovered a spring that was constantly gushing black corpse water. In addition, the Black Sheep King rose from the dead and looked no different from a living person. He deduced that the Black Sheep King had become a corpse immortal.

That's when he started thinking about becoming a Corpse Immortal. But he never expected that his antics in Coffin Gorge would directly break the Pangu Divine Vein surrounded by dragons.

It is evident that Feng Shigu, who desired immortality, could not be content with mediocrity. Therefore, he built the Feng family's old residence at the bottom of Coffin Gorge and, relying on his prestige at the time, led the Feng family members and others down to the underground.

Only Feng Ziping's branch realized Feng Shigu's thoughts and chose to leave Wushan, which is why the lineage has been passed down.

This is the truth behind Feng Shigu's desire to become an Earth Immortal.

This also became a source of anxiety for all members of the Feng family; they constantly longed to return and throw Feng Shigu out of the coffin.

“Feng Ziping, I didn’t expect that your bad habits have been around since your ancestors’ time.”

After learning about the Feng family's past, Chen Yulou couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Feng Ziping, on the other hand, looked helpless. His own ancestors had produced a scoundrel, so how could he stop others from talking about it?

We can only accept this fact.

After learning about this, everyone decided to kill Feng Shigu, no matter what kind of corpse immortal he was, and cut him into pieces.

Soon, Su Chen also discovered the longsword and other items left behind by Feng Shigu. This longsword was no ordinary object; it was still as bright and new as ever after so many years.

He threw the sword to Partridge Whistle.

"Take it, we might need it later."

Su Chen remembered very clearly that Feng Shigu used this sword to kill the Black Sheep King in the "Encountering Immortals in the Mountain View" painting.

In other words, he himself might also use this sword to kill Feng Shigu.

This sword looks extraordinary; it's clearly a treasure of the Feng family. Feng Ziping couldn't help but blush a little and quickly spoke up.

"Don't look at me like that. As long as I can kill Feng Shigu, I'm willing to pay any price."

"As long as... as long as we can kill Feng Shigu!"

Thinking this through, Feng Ziping became even more determined in his thoughts and plans.

As for the sword, it's completely unimportant once Feng Shigu is dead.

Su Chen was somewhat surprised to hear this. He had thought the other party would have a different opinion, but now it seemed that he might have been overthinking it.

"Look!"

Chen Yulou spoke up, holding a candle and the "Guanshan Juezanglu" (a book on divination and discovery).

"The last sentence on it is, 'Blood mist enters the earth, and immortals emerge from the mountain.' Doesn't this match what we've seen?"

"What are you thinking? Is Feng Shigu some kind of god? Besides, this Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor that grows uncontrollably is itself a source of trouble. Who knows, this Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor might just destroy the Earth Immortal Village."

As soon as he said this, Su Chen was stunned for a moment, and a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Now that they have entered the Earth Immortal Village, if the Nine Deaths Shocking Tomb Armor blocks their way, he will definitely try to find a way to deal with it. However, if he cannot deal with it, and the Nine Deaths Shocking Tomb Armor destroys the ancient tomb of the Earth Immortal Village, it seems that Feng Shigu, who has become a Corpse Immortal, will also have a chance to leave.

In other words, Feng Shigu may have already considered the possibility of needing to go out himself when he set up the Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor, which is why he made the change.

Having figured this out, Su Chen was somewhat unsure of Feng Shigu's intentions.

Perhaps if we killed Feng Shigu, we would be doing him what he wanted.

Just as he was about to continue thinking, he saw Feng Ziping blow out the candle with a grim expression.

The group below didn't know how long they would have to walk. Chen Yulou's act of lighting candles was actually to save batteries, but they didn't expect Feng Ziping to dare to blow them out.

This made him somewhat unable to contain himself.

"Mr. Feng is quite bold, daring to blow out the candles himself?"

"Fire is forbidden in the Earth Immortal Village!"

Feng Ziping said in a very flustered manner.

“The Earth Immortal Village uses an ancient formation. You really can’t understand its layout. Didn’t you notice anything from the moment you entered the village to where you are? There are no lamps in the Earth Immortal Village at all.”

When an unreasonable situation occurs frequently, everyone will subconsciously ignore the unreasonable part.

That's why no one realized what was going on.

Only after being reminded by Feng Ziping did they realize that they had not seen any candlesticks or lamps on their way in, which was the reason why the Earth Immortal Village was forbidden from using fire.

Chen Yulou, however, paid no attention and immediately spoke up.

"What good is this fire-avoidance? Is it going to harm me?"

"We still need to be careful about this. After all, this is Feng Shigu. It wouldn't be surprising if he did something."

Su Chen noticed Chen Yulou's reaction and pointed out to him that this was the place where Feng Shigu was sleeping.

As the saying goes, tomb raiders know tomb raiders best, and this fire-avoiding layout is clearly aimed at the tomb raiders.

Before Chen Yulou could refute anything, everyone heard a sound as if something was crawling in from outside.

Their breathing quickened, their eyes fixed on the doorway, seemingly afraid to move.

A worm about the length of a finger crawled in through the crack in the door. This worm looked very strange, with seven pairs of mandibles, and it looked quite fierce.

Su Chen had never seen such a strange insect before. He was just about to go over and take a look when he heard Feng Ziping say something.

"Coffin worm!"
