Chapter 18
The Snakeberry Jade Figurine, San叔's True Purpose

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire underground palace trembled slightly, repeatedly.

Wang Fatty and Wu Xie's group were already struggling with poor visibility as they descended deeper.

Adding to this, these tremors.

Nearly caused them to tumble down the extending stone steps.

“Could it be an earthquake?”

“Fatty doesn't want to be buried with this tomb owner.”

Wang Fatty held onto the walls of the tomb passage, his heart a little uneasy, fearing another tremor at any moment.

At this time, Panzi, who was walking at the front, shouted, “Don't worry, we're here.”

Hearing this, the group quickly accelerated their pace.

Sure enough, after rounding the bend ahead, they saw a stone door that was propped open by a heavy iron bar.

Only, there was a large hole in the middle of the stone door, created by external force.

“Could Uncle Three be inside?”

Wu Xie, shining his flashlight, wanted to rush in, but Panzi grabbed him.

“Little Three Ye, let me go first.”

Saying that, Panzi stepped in ahead of the others.

But after only a glance, he frowned and backed out.

“Panzi, what's wrong?”

“Yeah, why'd you come back?”

Wang Fatty and Wu Xie questioned him.

“Inside are all Corpse Beetles, more than in the Corpse Pile Cave.”

“They seem to be eating something.”

Panzi explained.

The other three couldn't help but look inside as well.

Indeed, it was exactly as Panzi said.

“Eating what? Could it be...”

Wu Xie's mind just started to form a thought, but then he quickly extinguished it: “No, it couldn't be our people.”

Panzi said with a serious expression, “This amount of Corpse Beetles, and they haven't finished eating after so long, whatever they're eating is no ordinary thing.”

Wang Fatty's attention wasn't on that, he saw the seven coffins.

“There are seven coffins, Fatty doesn't believe there's nothing inside.”

Saying that, he walked to the sides, wanting to bypass the Corpse Beetles and investigate.

But A Ning was faster than him.

Agile and nimble.

With a few flips, she bypassed the Corpse Beetles and reached the center where the seven coffins were.

Seeing this, Wu Xie quickly stopped her: “A Ning, don't do anything rash!”

The seven coffins were very suspicious.

But for her boss's plan, A Ning knew she had to open the coffin first.

Before she could move, a change occurred in the tomb chamber.

“Boom!”

A wall on the east side of the tomb chamber suddenly collapsed, and a figure flew out.

It looked like he would crash to the ground.

But the figure flipped in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground.

“Mute!”

Wu Xie exclaimed.

“The coffins, cannot be opened!”

Zhang Qiling's face was grim, his voice cold.

At this time, he already had some wounds on his body, blood flowing out of them, staining his upper body red.

“Little Brother, what happened to you?”

Panzi was also stunned by this scene. He had personally witnessed Zhang Qiling's skills.

To injure him like this.

It was enough to show how powerful the thing that hurt him was.

“Zhang Family, fallen to this state!”

“Even decent martial arts skills, they cannot even produce?”

“Truly useless!”

“Like this, you still want to stop me from being born?!”

A cold voice echoed in the tomb chamber.

A transparent figure slowly floated out from the collapsed wall.

It was the Zhang Family's Holy Infant.

Seeing that the speaker was a little boy, Wu Xie couldn't help but ask, “A Ning, you saw this thing before?!”

“It's it!”

Hearing this, A Ning's expression changed drastically, and her hands stopped moving.

Wang Fatty, Wu Xie, and Fatty were all shocked.

“Isn't it a ghost? Why can I see it now?”

Wang Fatty was astonished.

“He's shed his disguise.”

Zhang Qiling spoke calmly.

“Fear what, Fatty has a tomb robbing talisman.”

Wang Fatty regained his confidence.

But the little thing laughed coldly when he heard these words.

“Heh...ignorant fools.”

“I will come for your lives later!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the little thing disappeared into thin air, as if hiding its whereabouts.

This frightened the group.

They quickly became vigilant and searched the surroundings.

They didn't find it, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Qiling's face was terribly grim.

A soul body, with bloodline suppression, he really couldn't deal with it easily.

Zhang Qiling said, “We must chase after him.”

Hearing this, Wu Xie immediately rushed forward, grabbed Zhang Qiling, and said urgently, “You've lost so much blood, you can't go anymore, you'll die!”

Zhang Qiling shook his head helplessly, “If we don't chase after him, more people will die.”

Wang Fatty asked, “Little Brother, Lin Chuan didn't come with you?”

Zhang Qiling said, “He's below.”

Panzi couldn't help but ask, “Little Brother, is Uncle Three below too?”

This time, Zhang Qiling shook his head.

He didn't know.

“What's in the coffins, why can't they be opened?”

At this time, A Ning asked.

“If the coffins are opened, corpses will rise.”

Zhang Qiling didn't want to say much, only saying these six words.

“Little Brother, never lies.”

Panzi added.

“Mute, what exactly happened just now, what is that ghost?”

Wu Xie couldn't help but ask.

“No time to explain.”

“If you want to know, follow me.”

Saying this, Zhang Qiling pushed Wu Xie away, gave him a deep look, and turned to leave.

……

The depths of the Luwang Palace.

Two Corpse Pills, one red and one purple, were rapidly consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Chuan sat cross-legged on the jade platform.

With the Corpse Pills and the gathering spirit array, his strength had already reached the peak of the Diamond Mortal Realm in a short period of time.

The power of the Chi Lin Jie had been completely refined.

“Not enough.”

Lin Chuan frowned.

One Chi Lin Jie, not enough! The power of medicine and stone was still lacking!

At this time.

He sensed someone climbing down from one of the tunnels in the mountain.

Soon, he heard a familiar voice.

“Lin brother.”

“I didn't expect you to be faster than me.”

Lin Chuan recognized the voice, it was Wu Sansheng.

He opened his eyes but didn't stop practicing.

The competition for Corpse Pills was imminent.

He couldn't slack off.

“You came for the things in the Dragon Patterned Box?”

Lin Chuan said directly.

Wu Sansheng was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered his composure.

“You know a lot, but that's not the main thing.”

“And your appearance with Wang Fatty.”

“Saves me the trouble of putting something in the Dragon Patterned Box.”

After saying this.

Lin Chuan became confused.

The things in the Dragon Patterned Box were now on him.

It was the Ghost Seal.

In the original story, Zhang Qiling took the Dragon Patterned Box and placed the Warring States Period 帛书 inside.

Wu Sansheng took the Warring States Period 帛书 and placed the Snake-Browed Copper Fish inside.

It was meant to lure Wu Xie into the trap.

But what he didn't expect was that Wu Sansheng had another purpose in coming here.

“So, what else do you want to do?”

Lin Chuan asked calmly.

“Don't worry, I have no ill intentions, our Wu family will never be your enemy.”

“It's just that the things beneath the Nine-Headed Snake 柏 have lived for too long.”

“Today, they must die.”

Wu Sansheng said.

Hearing this, Lin Chuan couldn't help but speculate.

He didn't say the things beneath the Nine-Headed Snake 柏, he said the things inside the Nine-Headed Snake 柏.

Could it be

He's after the jade 俑 inside the Snake 柏?!
