The Big Shot Tears Apart Her Villainess Script After Transmigrating - Chapter 453
Chapter 453: The Xuanyuan Tomb
After Tang Li and Qi Yihan watched the skeletons disappear into the distance, they looked at each other.
Qi Yihan frowned and said, “Xuanyuan Qing obviously didn’t stop these people. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come so deep.”
Tang Li said firmly, “It was Qi Lingxuan who did it. It’s very easy for him to come in, and he definitely wants these people to be his pawns. This place is too big. Even if he has an Artifact Spirit, it’s impossible for him to find the spirit artifact in the Xuanyuan Tomb in a short period of time. First of all, he brought everyone in to distract Xuanyuan Qing and then get these people to help him find the spirit artifact.”
“Is there really a spirit artifact inside?”
“That’s right. The spiritual energy in this tomb is very strong. The Xuanyuan Tomb has existed for more than ten thousand years. Even ordinary weapons can become spirit artifacts after so long. Not to mention, in the era of the Xuanyuan Emperor, there were many craftsmen and cultivators. As the king of that era, he had many weapons people coveted.”
Qi Yihan nodded and looked to the sides. There was no bridge connecting the two cliffs. If they wanted to go over, they could only go down to the bottom of the cliff and cross the river before climbing up the opposite cliff.
Tang Li held his hand and said, “Let’s go over and take a look. I feel that the main tomb should be over there.”
Qi Yihan looked at her.
Tang Li gestured to Qiqi and Linlin. “Turn into a Kylin and carry us over.”
“Yes, Godmother.”
After Qiqi and Linlin responded, they immediately turned into huge Kylins.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan each sat on the back of a Kylin and were brought over to the other side.
As soon as the two of them got to the opposite cliff, the bugs that were retreating came back.
Tang Li did not care about these bugs at all. A talisman quickly appeared in her hand.
The talisman was thrown at them. When it approached the bugs, it started burning.
Qiqi and Linlin turned into humans. They looked at the bugs that were burning and making crackling sounds. Linlin sniffed and then spread her nose with her little hand in disdain, saying, “These bugs stink.”
Qiqi said to her, “If they stink, don’t smell them.”
Linlin lowered her hand. “No, there’s evil spirit in these bugs. Although it’s very little, I have to absorb it all.”
With that, she took a deep breath. When she inhaled, the evil spirit automatically gathered together and went into Linlin.
Qiqi stood there and absorbed the evil spirit with her.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan looked at the endless stream of bugs that were surging out of the caves.
Qi Yihan looked at it for a while and frowned. “Why are there so many bugs?”
Tang Li guessed, “It’s possible that those people stirred up the hive.”
Tang Li thought for a moment and quickly drew in the air.
After drawing a talisman, the talisman covered her and Qi Yihan. Tang Li then said, “I used the talisman to isolate our smell. When these bugs retreat, we’ll continue walking.”
As expected, soon, the bugs retreated into the caves.
However, there was a new problem. There were more than ten caves here, and they were not sure which one they should take.
“I heard Xuanyuan Qing mention before that there are many dead ends here. As long as you walk into the dead end, there will be no turning back.”
“Don’t be afraid.” Tang Li gestured to Qiqi and Linlin. “Go and smell it. We’ll enter whichever cave has the strongest spiritual energy.”
“Alright.”
Qiqi and Linlin started to smell the caves.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan stood there and waited.
The two of them sniffed for almost twenty minutes before they finished sniffing all the caves. They pointed at the fourth cave on the right. “That one has the strongest spiritual energy.”
The four of them entered the cave.
The cave here was a little different from the one on the other side. The terrain here was very complicated. After walking for a while, one or two forks would appear. These forks led to tomb chambers, and there were many zombies and traps along the way.
However, this was not a problem for Qiqi and Linlin. They walked in front while Tang Li and Qi Yihan walked behind.
After walking for an unknown period of time, the path kept lowering. It was obvious that there was an even deeper underground tomb.
When they reached a place where there were lamps on the wall, Tang Li asked Qiqi and Linlin to stop.
“Let’s rest here for a while. Yihan and I will eat something before continuing.”
After saying that, she looked at a hole beside her and gestured to Qiqi. “Qiqi, go in and see what’s inside this hole. If there’s nothing strange inside, we’ll rest here.”
Qiqi nodded and walked in.
After a few minutes, Qiqi came out and said to the two of them, “Godfather, Godmother, there are several holes in that hole. One of the holes looks like a place to sleep, and another looks like a place to eat. There is a stone bed, a stone table, and a stone stool.”
Tang Li and Qi Yihan looked at each other.
Qi Yihan said, “It should be the place where the living were buried.”
Every dynasty would bury their emperors with living people. These people would not die immediately. When the tomb was sealed, some food would be left for them, but they could only move around in a small area, let alone go out.
The few of them entered the hole. Just as Qiqi had said, there was a stone bed, a stone table, and a stone stool.
The four of them sat at the table. Tang Li took out some food and ate while planning her next step with Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan said, “Since we’re here, we can help Xuanyuan Qing when the time comes so that those people can’t take anything from this tomb, especially Qi Lingxuan.”
At this point, he paused and asked Tang Li, “If Qi Lingxuan really finds an ancient artifact, can you deal with him?”
“Don’t forget that I have the Fuxi Guqin and the Kylin. Besides, I can control all the spiritual artifacts in the world. Even if Qi Lingxuan gets it first, I’m not afraid. However… unless he gets an ancient ferocious beast to acknowledge him as its master, that will be a little troublesome.”
Unexpectedly, Tang Li’s words came true. When she and Qi Yihan walked to the stone door outside the main tomb, they bumped into Qi Lingxuan.
His hair was messy and his clothes were tattered. However, from his face to the skin on his neck, there were strange red totems.
His eyes were like a sharp sword, flashing with a cold red light.
Looking at the man opposite her, Tang Li frowned.
Even though Qi Yihan didn’t know anything, he could feel the powerful killing intent emanating from Qi Lingxuan. He asked, “Li, what happened to him?”
“He was devoured by the Artifact Spirit in his body, and he obtained a lot of power here.”
