Master of Strange Dao

A person from the officialdom, why would they be buried here?

After a moment, apart from Feng Buju sealing a living captive, the rest were killed by the Tomb Ghost, who devoured their Divine Souls and joined the guard here.

Yu Ziqing glanced at the distance; Xia Shuang's battle was intense, and it seemed that she wouldn't die in a short time.

On the other side, after a brief lull, the battle between old Yang and the Cultivator seemed to reignite.

"You all protect yourselves, I will go there with him."

Yu Ziqing followed the Tomb Ghost towards the Mausoleum.

On the other side, old Yang curled up as if he had sustained serious injuries, collapsing on the ground. When the other person came over and attempted to probe him with a Secret Technique, he endured the attacks with his physical body alone.

Skin split and flesh burst open, blood flowed freely, yet he only twitched a couple of times. It seemed like he was struggling to take flight, but he didn't manage to fly.

The person's face was solemn, as pale as golden paper, clearly also not lightly wounded.

As he flew closer, he saw old Yang's figure suddenly vanish from the spot and a dragon tail whip upwards in a swift counterattack.

The person reacted quickly, immediately sending out a small cauldron above his head that dropped Divine Light in waves, shielding his whole body.

However, when old Yang's tail struck the Divine Light, it only trembled for an instant before the dragon tail flew away, and another, which was thousands of feet long, followed closely behind, with a bang lashing onto the Divine Light.

In a flash, the Divine Light shattered, old Yang reared his head and roared. All his strength turned into a concentrated black light that wrapped around the God Slaying Arrow, shooting out explosively and striking the other's chest the moment his defenses burst.

The black light dissipated, but the God Slaying Arrow was embedded in the other's chest.

The person looked at the God Slaying Arrow, his eyes filled with shock and despair.

Before he could do anything, countless runes traveled along the God Slaying Arrow, and a terrifying aura of slaughter erupted within his body. The power, specially designed to exterminate Living Beings and extinguish their life force, instantly suppressed his vitality.

His power was rendered useless, utterly unable to resist.

His body visibly aged at a pace visible to the eye, the Divine Light in his eyes slowly extinguished.

In just a few breaths, his physical body disintegrated into dust, scattering to the winds, leaving behind only some residual treasures.

Old Yang took a heavy breath, tucked his dragon form into a small black dot, and hid it in his ear, then casually collected those items.

He then took out a box and stored the God Slaying Arrow inside.

Falling to the ground, reverting to a goat form, he felt the intense pain in his abdomen. He silently swallowed more than a dozen Pills to recover from his injuries while sighing inwardly.

Still not enough, after all, I'm not yet accustomed to battling, far too lacking in battle experience...

That fellow, of all things, had to adopt a combat style suited for the East Sea to clash with me.

In theory, with a Seventh Tier Dragon Clan body plus Dragon Clan and human Clan Secret Techniques, and knowing what Secret Technique the other was going to use just by their raising a hand, along with the protection of the Evil Dragon's body, I should have won the battle without taking any damage.

No, I should have been leading him by the nose the entire time, playing him to death.

It's just unfortunate that I was a little careless and nearly got hit by that damn God Slaying Arrow.

If it had been someone like the village chief with that inherent intense battle awareness, under the same conditions, that fellow would probably have been beaten to death by now.

Old Yang landed on the ground, enduring the pain and pretending to be uninjured.

If Yu Ziqing knew that, even under the most favorable conditions, he still got injured, he would probably laugh at him.

...

Yu Ziqing followed the Tomb Ghost through the underground Mausoleum, but after walking for a while, he suddenly stopped and looked towards the Tomb Ghost.

"Have outsiders entered ahead of us?"

The Tomb Ghost looked around and stretched out a hand, sensing the flow of Death Qi within the Mausoleum. Suddenly, his expression became deeply sorrowful, and his gaze returned to its initial state. He moved with extreme speed and instantly vanished from sight.

Yu Ziqing retracted all his energy, step by step, he moved forward.

In the depths of the Mausoleum, Ye Jiuyuan, who should have come to this Grotto Heaven but had never shown his face, stood in front of a Black Stone Coffin.

"You'd better think it over carefully, whether you want to cooperate with us.

If you want Dadui to return, for now, the only path is through working with us.

If you're unwilling, then we'll just have to find someone else. There are others besides you who were buried alongside Dadui."

From within the Coffin, a deathly aura like black water continuously spilled out, flames burning within it and slowly spreading towards Ye Jiuyuan.

Ye Jiuyuan stepped back a few paces and waved his hand.

"If you're not willing, let's forget it. I just came to persuade you; if you don't want to, I can't stop you. But I can't stop others either."

As he spoke, a Tomb Ghost with a face full of sorrow and bitterness burst in from the outside. Ye Jiuyuan's expression darkened, knowing he could not provoke the Eighth Tier Tomb Ghost. Without a second thought, he vanished on the spot.

Yu Ziqing crouched on a beam above, sensing the power fluctuations coming from deep within the Mausoleum. He immediately retracted all his energy and even absorbed some Death Qi to envelop his body.

Soon, he saw Ye Jiuyuan appear on the main path in the middle of the Mausoleum. As he walked towards the exit, his figure flickered. In an instant, he disappeared from view.

Yu Ziqing's eyelids drooped as he caught all this from the corner of his eye, his mind becoming clear.

It seems that it really was those people who did all this. Now it's confirmed.
