Mountain Patrol Military Officer

Wei Wu's leopard eyes flashed fiercely. Raising his hand, he launched a strike through the air towards the tomb pit. A thunderous sound erupted, shaking the earth as dirt flew in all directions, blasting the pit open and revealing a large hole.

Inside the pit stood a tall stone carving, untouched by the strike, revealing a section of over a dozen feet with more buried beneath. It exuded an ancient aura of passing time, striking awe in the heart.

Wei Wu's body slowly rose into the air, delivering several more strikes, continuing to excavate the deep pit until the stone carving was completely revealed.

He then focused his eyes, his divine light shining, and saw a mural on the stone carving.

The mural depicted people engaged in an epic battle against demons, shaking the heavens and earth, with skies collapsing and lands laid to waste. The demons in the mural had some with golden wings reaching the sky, others resembling winged dragons... their demon forms were astounding.

Wei Wu's eyes blazed brightly, recognizing vaguely that these seemed to be the Ten Evils of Shu!

And the forms of these Ten Evils appeared to have reached an incredible state.

Who were these people battling the Ten Evils?

And what relation did they have with this place?

Wei Wu's eyes flared with brightness, and a question rose uncontrollably in his mind.

He couldn't understand why such a grim and eerie tomb mount would feature such a stone carving, with the mural's aura circulating with a mystical and ancient atmosphere, indicating extraordinary meaning. What did this represent?

Wei Wu's mind began pondering various possibilities.

"Continue digging!"

His voice grew louder.

He personally joined the excavation.

Time passed unnoticed in the mountain, and after an unknown duration, as more familiar corpses were discovered, two additional stone carvings were unearthed in the mountain. One of these was personally excavated by Wei Wu.

The second mural depicted one person dying in battle against the Ten Evils, with their companions going to a certain Divine Mountain to slay a phoenix, using its Phoenix Nest Divine Wood as a coffin, and burying the person inside.

The third mural showed on a snowy day the dead person in the coffin suddenly opening their eyes!

The amount of information contained therein greatly shocked the spirit of the fierce general from Beiliang, instantly making connections.

This eerie tomb mount was the burial site of the person depicted in the murals, capable of slaying a Phoenix True Spirit, battling the Ten Evil Demon Kings, and using Wind Nest Divine Wood to make a coffin — a person able to resurrect from death. Wei Wu could hardly imagine what realm these people reached.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration cut through his mind. In reports sent shortly after the disappearance of the princely heir, those accompanying guests transmitted intelligence regarding sightings of a phoenix entering this mountain. The princely heir entered the mountain seeking Spirit Wood as treasure.

With this, everything made sense!

This is the burial place of a peak Great Divine Skill user!

Or perhaps a Martial Saint!

Thinking of this even made the heart of this general, who intimidated the nations of the Western Regions, beat wildly.

"There's another one!"

At this moment, an exclamation echoed out.

Wei Wu shot forward, taking the lead, eager for a glimpse.

But at that moment,

"Boom boom boom"

The entire mountain began to shake violently.

Immediately, the ground beneath them split open, as if a giant mouth was trying to swallow him whole.

Wei Wu and his people changed expressions instantly, soaring into the sky.

As they spread out, the entire tomb mount suddenly transformed, roaring ferociously, with rumbling echoes, as if the entire mountain came alive.

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

Within the mountain, gravestones grew in the wind, transforming into Heavenly Suppressing Stone Steles, launching across the sky, bombarding towards them!

Mid-flight, the paper money and green essence transformed into sinister paperman soldiers and horses.

In an instant, heaven and earth roared, the very sky flipping over!

The paperman soldiers charged towards the five accompanying individuals, swarming densely, engulfing them.

The Substitute Tribulation Pearls above the heads of the five shattered rapidly under the terrifying killing intent, barely lasting ten breaths,

Then came several screams, as chains from the paperman soldiers hooked and forcibly extracted the souls from their heads, then slicing them into pieces, and their bodies fell, swallowed by the spontaneously opening ground mid-mountain, followed by a newly forming grave.

In the meantime, Heavenly Suppressing Stone Steles furiously bombarded towards Beiliang's princely heir.

Wei Wu, in a rage, transformed into a tall Dharma Image wearing scarlet red armor holding a sword. The Black Iron Horse-Cutting Saber slashed furiously, as if wailing of countless souls, while the evil soldier's aura surged forth, forming Protective Gang Qi, entangling and shredding with the enormous gravestones.

"Boom"

"Boom"

"Boom"

Gravestones shattered under his blows.

A torrent of rumbling didn't cease.

Yet the gravestones and paperman soldiers seemed endless, with stone steles bombarding Wei Wu's sword mastery, surrounded by dense paper knives and soul hooks, as if trying to draw out his primordial spirit.

The horror within was immense, terrifying enough to show fear.

As time passed, even the fierce general from Beiliang found himself struggling, being suppressed inside, producing enraged roars, deploying every skill.

"Boom"

A pot of tea later, a loud explosion.

The evil soldier's aura of the Beiliang military general broke, and in an instant, dense ropes like vines spread over his body, tightening and forcing his Dharma Image to shrink, pulling him towards the split mountain ground below.

As though thousands of troops and horses were dragging a giant!

Bound tightly, Wei Wu's eyes protruded, struggling fiercely, even blood vessels popped in his eyes. Lastly, a bright light broke out between his eyebrows, divine light blazing, beginning to shatter the ropes on his surface.

Accompanied was an overwhelming, terrifying aura surging!

It was Dragon and Tiger Qi!

Something was about to break out from this Beiliang military general's Mud Ball!

Just then, in the sky, from above the mist, a beam of golden light shot out suddenly, like the sun breaking through the clouds.

The golden light darted down, falling on the Beiliang general, holding him in place. The Dragon and Tiger Qi surging from his brow suddenly halted, then fluctuated, seeming ready to burst through the golden light, forcing out.

But in the next moment, above where the golden light broke the mist, a massive shadow descended rapidly!

It was an enormous scarlet gold coffin!

Wide open, coming down to enclose Wei Wu below.

Wei Wu's leopard eyes jumped frantically on seeing the scarlet gold coffin, pupils wide with shock. This looked just like the coffin in the mural from before – no, based on the style, it seemed just to be a shell!

Within the warrior's dilated pupils, the great scarlet gold coffin directly covered him.

A thunderous crash followed.

With the completion of all this, the scarlet gold coffin vanished from sight, leaving the frantically dispersing paperman soldiers to explode with successive pops, turning into pieces of paper strewn about, and the massive gravestones soared back, quickly shrinking before disappearing back into the mountain below.

The entire turbulent tomb mountain quickly returned to calm.

As all this concluded, the great scarlet gold coffin disappeared, and the sky again became tranquil.

When it all passed, far across tens of thousands of miles, on a vast flying boat traversing above the sea of clouds.

At this moment, towards the horizon, sunlight broke over the day, golden light leaping out from behind the cloud sea, instantly ablaze!

In the glow of the golden light, in a room on the flying boat, a figure stood guard at the door.

"Old Master, has General Chen finished his cultivation? We have already passed Tong Pass! Please notify General Chen, it's time to disembark!"

Gongsun Yang responded,

"The young lord is in cultivation, this old servant dares not disturb."

Only after fifteen minutes,

The door finally opened, and Chen Yuan emerged from within.
