Chapter 290 The unknown deeper secret!

Si Yan couldn’t help but feel a little curious: “Whose tomb is this?”

“Princess Wan. She was originally sleeping in the tomb, but five hundred years ago, someone broke into her tomb to steal things and also attracted a powerful Fiend Corpse. Princess Wan had no choice but to awaken and fight the Fiend Corpse, but as a result, she lost control and completely became a Fiend Corpse.”

Chief Eunuch Cao De said.

Princess Wan?

From the looks of it, she was a princess of the Tianqian Dynasty.

Someone broke in five hundred years ago?

Si Yan suddenly recalled something Ying Rui had mentioned when he was talking to her about Shouyang Mountain.

That was the Wang Family Ancestor of the Northern Wang Family, who once broke into Shouyang Mountain, gained a lot there, and after returning from Shouyang Mountain, the Wang Family Ancestor only took three hundred years to become an Undying Bone in one fell swoop, and successfully established a top Zombie Family.

The Wang Family Ancestor broke in.

Could it be Princess Wan’s tomb?

That guy was really despicable.

Not only did he steal the treasures from Princess Wan’s tomb, but he also attracted a Fiend Corpse, causing Princess Wan to lose control and turn into a Fiend Corpse herself.

Princess Wan’s tomb was probably broken at that time.

“I can take you a bit further, Sir. Let’s go quickly!”

Chief Eunuch Cao De said.

The three continued forward.

However, after only walking a short distance, a figure appeared not far ahead, causing Chief Eunuch Cao De’s expression to change.

“How did she get here?”

Chief Eunuch Cao De’s voice was still relatively calm.

Si Yan looked and saw that the figure was wearing luxurious and dignified clothing, with a small phoenix coronet on her head, and her appearance was beautiful, giving off the impression of a dynasty princess at first glance!

This should be Princess Wan, as Chief Eunuch Cao De mentioned.

Princess Wan’s eyes had also turned blood-red, and the fiendish aura on her body also shot into the sky with a bloody light.

As soon as she saw the three of them, the fiendish aura on Princess Wan’s body surged and rushed towards them.

“Oh no! She’s already a Mid-level Ghost Saint!”

Chief Eunuch Cao De was no longer calm.

It seemed that Princess Wan’s strength had improved again.

Mid-level Ghost Saint!

Chief Eunuch Cao De was still a Semi-Undead Bone, which was essentially just a High-level Ghost Lord, and had not yet stepped into the Initial-level Ghost Saint.

If it were an Initial-level Ghost Saint, which is to say, newly an Undying Bone, Chief Eunuch Cao De, a Semi-Undead Bone, could still handle it.

But now Princess Wan had already reached the mid-stage of Undying Bone!

Her strength seemed to be rising a bit quickly.

Princess Wan had already arrived.

After reaching the mid-stage of Undying Bone, Princess Wan’s speed was extraordinarily fast; with a flash, she was already close.

Chief Eunuch Cao De also reacted quickly, quickly swallowed something, raised his fiendish aura, and began to fight Princess Wan.

“Sir, I can only take you this far. I’ll lead her away and create some commotion to attract more Fiend Corpses. Right Vice Minister, you take Sir over!”

Chief Eunuch Cao De struggled to resist Princess Wan.

As he spoke, he led the battle to the other side of the passage.

He intended to use the commotion of the battle to draw away all the Fiend Corpses in Si Yan’s path, thereby creating conditions for Si Yan to reach the Imperial Preceptor’s Tomb.

Seeing Chief Eunuch Cao De leading Princess Wan away, the Blood Corpse stepped forward to Si Yan’s front, leading the way for him.

Si Yan didn’t delay, quickly following him.

This Shouyang Mountain Tomb was indeed dangerous; now a Mid-level Ghost Saint Princess Wan had appeared.

Who knew how many Fiend Corpses had reached the Ghost Saint level after more than a thousand years?

In the wide passage, Chief Eunuch Cao De fought Princess Wan, who had become a Fiend Corpse, while shifting the battlefield to the other side of the passage.

Although this passage was wide, it was not quite sufficient for a battle of the Undying Bone level.

During their fierce battle, the stone walls around the passage suffered, constantly crumbling.

Such a battle caused a huge commotion.

A large number of zombies were attracted.

Chief Eunuch Cao De continuously led the battle deeper.

Si Yan, keeping a distance from the Blood Corpse, followed behind.

After several hundred meters, this passage finally came to an end.

Ahead, another wide space appeared, and in this space, a zombie tomb could also be seen.

This zombie tomb looked relatively intact; it was unknown if there were any sleeping zombies inside.

“I’ll attract their attention, Right Vice Minister, take Sir through the small path.”

Chief Eunuch Cao De shouted in a sharp voice and rushed into the space where the zombie tomb was located.

The surrounding zombies were all attracted to him.

Seeing this, the Blood Corpse, just before reaching the end of the passage, suddenly lifted a stone door upwards.

There, another very narrow small path appeared.

It was unknown when such a small path was carved out.

The Blood Corpse had no tongue and couldn’t speak. He made a gesture to Si Yan and then stepped inside.

Si Yan followed closely.

As soon as they entered, the Blood Corpse used his fiendish aura to lower the stone door.

In the darkness, the two continued along this incredibly narrow path.

This small path led downwards all the way.

There was even a section that required jumping down several tens of meters.

In fact, from the first tomb inwards, it had been continuously descending.

It seemed that throughout the Shouyang Mountain Tomb, the deeper tombs were located lower.

It felt like a large pot.

The reason for this was that Shouyang Mountain itself was a place of extreme yin.

The temperature here was extremely low.

Extreme yin does not refer to low temperature, but rather abundant yin energy.

If measured with a thermometer, the temperature here had not even reached below zero.

However, the environment here was more terrifying for the human body than sub-zero temperatures.

An ordinary person staying here for a few days would fall seriously ill upon leaving.

For Si Yan, the problem was not significant.

The density of the stones in Shouyang Mountain was also exceptionally high; they were a special kind of stone in the Zombie World, with a density even higher than granite.

These stones, however, were very conducive to the conduction of yin energy, which is why they were used by the Tianqian Dynasty as the location for their royal city.

With such stones, even an Undying Bone would find it difficult to tunnel through them.

Earth tunneling is not stone tunneling.

These stones were still very fragile under the claws of a Ghost Lord.

But to carve out such a small path, a Ghost Lord would still need a lot of time.

After walking nearly a kilometer along this small path, the path ended.

Ahead, another passage appeared, containing many Fiend Corpses.

The Blood Corpse did not rush out. He took out a map and a burning, eerie green flame for illumination.

Si Yan also took out his map box.

From the map box, it seemed that they were not far from the Imperial Preceptor’s Tomb; they only needed to pass through this passage to reach it.

The Blood Corpse carved a few words on the stone wall with his claws.

Si Yan saw that the Blood Corpse’s intention was for him to break through the zombies, with Si Yan following behind him.

Si Yan said, “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”

Once they agreed, the Blood Corpse placed his hands under the stone door and forcefully lifted it up.

Then, he rushed out, scattering the surrounding Fiend Corpses.

Si Yan followed closely.

The Blood Corpse’s strength had grown even more since they parted ways at Mingyue Mountain Manor.

He continuously struck out, throwing all the Fiend Corpses far away.

Si Yan did not make a move, just followed behind the Blood Corpse.

Their luck was quite good; no overly powerful Fiend Corpses had appeared in this passage yet.

This was probably because the Imperial Preceptor’s Tomb had not yet fallen.

If the Imperial Preceptor’s Tomb had fallen, the zombies within it would likely turn into Fiend Corpses and become active in this passage.

As they rushed towards the Imperial Preceptor’s Tomb, just as they were about to reach it, a Ghost Lord-level Fiend Corpse appeared.

This was the fourth Ghost Lord-level Fiend Corpse encountered along the way.

Among the Fiend Corpses that had previously besieged Chief Eunuch Cao De, there were also two Ghost Lords.

The Tianqian Dynasty was probably excessively powerful back then.

The zombies Si Yan had encountered so far, including the Fiend Corpses, already far surpassed any single Zombie Family.

The National Preceptor, whom he had not yet met, was one hundred percent of the Undying Bone level, and possibly even stronger.

Given the current level of these zombies and Fiend Corpses in the Shouyang Mountain Tomb, even if the Ying Family and the Song Family came in together, they might not fare well.

Of course, it’s not certain.

If these two top Zombie Families joined forces, they would still be able to gain a lot of benefits from Shouyang Mountain.

Like Chief Eunuch Cao De, although he was a Semi-Undead Bone, his actions were greatly restricted.

The same was true for the National Preceptor of the Tianqian Dynasty, who dared not act recklessly.

Under circumstances where they could not act recklessly, they could only rely on the Fiend Corpses inside the Shouyang Mountain Tomb to block these two Zombie Families.

The two Zombie Families, working together, could still deal with many of the outer tombs and obtain some good things from within.

As for the deeper parts.

Si Yan still didn’t know what lay in the deeper parts of Shouyang Mountain.

First, get to the Imperial Preceptor’s Tomb.

In the passage, the Blood Corpse was blocked by a Fiend Corpse of the same level, and his speed of rushing forward suddenly plummeted.

The other Fiend Corpses rushed back over.

The Blood Corpse also fiercely swallowed a medicinal pill, and the fiendish aura on his body surged.

But that Fiend Corpse was no pushover; its strength was actually above that of the Blood Corpse, and the Blood Corpse simply couldn’t deal with it.

Seeing the other Fiend Corpses already surrounding them, the Blood Corpse’s eyes couldn’t help but show anxiety.

He was worried about Si Yan.

“No worries.”

Si Yan said indifferently.

Then he directly summoned Ying Rui.

Upon summoning, Ying Rui quickly appeared in the passage.

“Ying Rui, don’t kill them, just throw them aside.”

Si Yan told Ying Rui.

“Yes, Si Jun.”

Ying Rui’s address for Si Yan had also changed. She began to call Si Yan “Jun.”

Ying Rui quickly made a move, throwing all the rushing Fiend Corpses aside.

The Blood Corpse was stunned when he saw Ying Rui.

He had seen Ying Rui before.

At Mingyue Mountain Manor, Ying Rui was still a Ghost Emperor.

How long had it been, and Ying Rui had actually reached Ghost Lord!

Such a growth rate was terrifyingly fast.

After Ying Rui threw the Fiend Corpses aside, Si Yan quickly moved forward.

Thus, the Blood Corpse blocked the Ghost Lord-level Fiend Corpse, and Ying Rui cleared the way for Si Yan.

Before long, they reached the end of this passage.

There was also a huge tomb there.

Above the tomb, a not-so-conspicuous ever-burning lamp was still lit.

Si Yan saw that the current ever-burning lamp was burning with an eerie green flame!

Green flame!

They could go in!

“Go!”

Si Yan quickly walked towards the tomb.

Soon, the three of them fought and retreated to the vicinity of the tomb.

That Ghost Lord was still relentlessly pursuing them.

The Blood Corpse quickly pressed a spot on the tomb and injected a wisp of fiendish aura.

Following his action, the tomb’s large door suddenly opened.

A figure suddenly flew out from inside, and the fiendish aura on its body rushed towards the pursuing Fiend Corpse.

In the blink of an eye, all the Fiend Corpses, including the Ghost Lord-level Fiend Corpse chasing the Blood Corpse, were unable to move.

“Quick, come in!”

At the doorway, a young Female Zombie appeared and called out.

Si Yan stepped forward, with Ying Rui and the Blood Corpse following closely behind.

As soon as they entered, the figure that had previously subdued all the Fiend Corpses with a single move flew back into the tomb.

The tomb’s large door closed again.

That figure landed in front of Si Yan, its expressionless eyes looking at Si Yan.

The Blood Corpse, on the other hand, bowed deeply to this figure.

Si Yan looked and saw that the other party was wearing a large red cape, her hairstyle appeared somewhat dignified, and her complexion was, of course, the usual pale white of a zombie.

Her face, however, was very pretty.

In terms of beauty, she was no less stunning than the exquisitely beautiful Ying Rui.

However, this zombie gave Si Yan a very cold feeling.

She gave off the impression of a cold, alluring rose.

He did not scrutinize her too much.

The other party was very likely the National Preceptor of the Tianqian Dynasty, at least of the Undying Bone level, and held a rather high position.

In a face-to-face situation, scrutinizing the other party too much was not a very polite behavior.

“Are you the National Preceptor?”

Si Yan spoke first.

“My teacher is indeed the Tianqian National Preceptor. My teacher finds it difficult to maintain her current state and has placed a seal on her mouth. Please forgive her, Sir.”

At this moment, a voice sounded.

Si Yan looked and saw that it was the young Female Zombie who had just called out to them.

Seal on her mouth?

This National Preceptor couldn’t speak?

It seemed she had learned about Si Yan through some means from Chief Eunuch Cao De.

The National Preceptor nodded slightly to Si Yan, then made a gesture of invitation.

“Sir, the National Preceptor invites you inside for a discussion. Please, come in!”

The young Female Zombie acted as a translator. (End of Chapter)
