Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Hehe, they’re finally out! Brother Ren and Qin Daofu have taken away all the treasures, so I can only take your lives. After all, taking lives is my favorite.”
At the entrance of the tomb, seeing Chen Zongtian, Yuan Daosheng, and the others carefully walk out of the tomb’s third level, the Mad Daoist hiding in the darkness revealed an evil smile.
He had long been waiting.
“Void Tomb!”
Buzz!
The moment Chen Zongtian and the others stepped out of the tomb, the Mad Daoist immediately formed a mysterious seal.
In an instant, the surrounding void rippled, and unbeknownst to Chen Zongtian and the others, a mysterious tomb that enveloped them was formed.
Void Tomb was a mystical tomb recorded in the Book of Burial. It was based on the void. It could cover an area of void and turn it into a tomb. Burying a corpse inside could make it eternal.
Lin Wudao had experienced the magical and heaven-defying power of the Book of Burial back in the Dragon Burial Secret Realm. It was a power that surpassed the human world and even God’s Spiritual Eye couldn’t see through it.
As for Chen Zongtian and the others, who were unaware of all this, they did not notice anything at all when faced with the invisible Void Tomb.
At this moment, they were still walking carefully under Yuan Daosheng’s lead.
It was only after a long time did Yuan Daosheng realize that something was wrong. His cold eyes scrutinized the surroundings, and his expression became solemn.
Similarly, Chen Zongtian sensed something strange.
According to their speed, it shouldn’t take them much time to leave the tomb.
Furthermore, they clearly remembered that their journey into the tomb had been fine. Yet now, after walking for so long, they were still in the tomb and the surroundings hadn’t changed at all.
This caused Chen Zongtian’s heart to involuntarily sink.
“Sir, why do I feel like this tomb seems endless? It wasn’t like this when we came.”
He said seriously, his eyes revealing a touch of inexplicable worry.
“We should have fallen into a trap. When we entered the tomb, 1 paid special attention. From the first level to the third level, we only took fifteen minutes. But now, an hour has already passed, and we still haven’t walked out of this tomb. Is this possible? Clearly, we have fallen into a trap set by someone else.”
Yuan Daosheng’s expression was gloomy.
What? Was this a trap?
Chen Zongtian’s expression changed as he heard Yuan Daosheng’s words.
Although he had long suspected it, when Yuan Daosheng confirmed it, he could not help but feel an inexplicable fear.
“13th Uncle, it must be those two damn bastards, Ren Woxing and Qin Daofu. They’ve deliberately set up a trap to harm us!” Chen Changqing roared fiercely. His cold face was filled with malevolence.
Chen Zongtian and Yuan Daosheng nodded in response to his suspicion. To be honest, they had the same thoughts.
After all, there was no one else in this place other than Lin Wudao and Qin Daofu. If they weren’t wrong, it was definitely those two.
“Damn it! What are these bastards trying to do? We’ve already given them the treasures, so why are they still trying to harm us? Could it be that their oaths to the heavens are all bullsh*t? Aren’t they afraid of being judged and punished by the Heavenly Dao?”
The more Chen Zongtian thought about it, the angrier he became. He was truly on the verge of losing his rationality due to Lin Wudao and Qin Daofu.
But in reality, all of this had nothing to do with the two. The one who had a move was the Mad Daoist.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect that the Southern Region’s grave robber aristocratic family would have such a day. Today, since you’ve fallen into my hands, 1 will take my revenge on you. Ren Woxing and Qin Daofu only want treasures, not lives. As for me, I don’t want your treasures. 1 only want your lives. So, enjoy the death package that I’ve made for you, hehe…”
Suddenly, strange and evil laughter came from the surrounding void. It contained monstrous killing intent.
What? There was someone else?
Hearing this sudden sneer, everyone was shocked.
They had originally thought that other than them, only Lin Wudao and Qin Daofu were in this tomb.
Who knew that they had other accomplices and that they would take turns? Were those people taking them as fat sheep and were going to kill them now?
Thinking of this, Chen Zongtian was filled with indignation, and his heart was filled with hatred.
“You bastards!”
Whoosh!
Just as he was about to curse, a veil of white fog suddenly appeared in the surrounding void. The speed at which the fog surged was extremely fast. In just an instant, it shrouded the entire tomb.
In the fog, both Chen Zongtian and Yuan Daosheng could sense that their vision and consciousness were starting to blur. They couldn’t even see the people around them clearly.
“Everyone, be careful! This fog is strange!”
Chen Zongtian, who realized that something was wrong, immediately shouted.
As a descendant of the Heavenly Master House, Yuan Daosheng had the Heaven’s Eye, which could dispel confusion. Therefore, he was less affected. Still, he could only see within a five-foot radius.
“Everyone, quickly gather. Don’t split up. Pay attention to the danger in the fog!” Chen Zongtian reminded.
His mind was tense to the extreme, and he maintained an unprecedented level of vigilance.
However, just as the many members of the Chen family were about to gather, the Mad Daoist’s cold and evil laughter rang out from the void again.
“In my territory, it is not up to you…”
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, a few eerie black lights streaked across the void. Immediately after, everyone was shocked to discover that they had been divided.
Chen Changqing and the other clansmen were teleported to another place while Chen Zongtian and Yuan Daosheng were in separate areas. It was as if the space had been cut apart.
“Ha! What kind of supernatural method is this?”
Everyone was shocked.
At this moment, everything that happened before their eyes had overturned their understanding and imagination.
Even though they came from the Southern Region’s grave robber aristocratic family and were all knowledgeable, they had never encountered such a strange scene.
For a moment, everyone was quite flustered and at a loss.
It wasn’t just them. Even Chen Zongtian and Yuan Daosheng’s expressions changed drastically as their minds tensed up.
Looking at their appearance, the Mad Daoist who was outside the fog could not help but smile proudly, and his eyes revealed a fierce light.
“Mad Daoist, Qin Daofu and I have sworn to the heavens that we will not harm them. Therefore, you’re alone this time,” Lin Wudao said calmly.
In response, the Mad Daoist nodded.
“Relax. 1 will deal with them this time around.”
After saying that, his body trembled slightly.
Immediately after, under the astonished gazes of Lin Wudao and Qin Daofu, a dark and mighty mysterious shadow suddenly appeared behind the Mad Daoist.
For a moment, the latter’s aura underwent an unprecedented change.
Before this, he was a lunatic. But when the dark shadow behind him appeared, his previous temperament and appearance changed to become ancient and mysterious.
Lin Wudao could even feel an ancient and boundless aura, as well as a magnificent aura that surpassed the human world.
That was not something that the Mad Daoist from before could have..
