The grand doors of the tomb had already swung open, looking as though one could delve deep into the earth from here.
“Elder Chunyu, what do you think our next move should be?”
Upon hearing the question, Elder Chunyu was momentarily stunned before he hurriedly replied that he had just come from the direction of the swamp.
He mentioned the dangers of the swamp.
The entire area of the swamp seemed alive, capable of suddenly erupting and enveloping a cultivator whole.
If Elder Chunyu hadn’t had something rather special, he’d probably have been swallowed by the swamp without leaving a trace.
As for the section of black tombs.
It appeared that the source of the secret realm, the spirit veins that produced spiritual energy, and certain enticing items might be located beneath the ground where the tombs were.
However, the dangers of such underground palaces were self-evident.
Su Ping saw the expression on the face of the Qi Cultivation Perfection cultivator; it was clear that he was also unwilling to go there.
However, the Exorcism Mage Yun Kong, who had finished reading the stele and seemed like a memory illusion, looked as though he had no other matters to attend to if he didn’t go.
Moreover, who could say if there wouldn’t be other chapters related to Breaking Army, Greedy Wolf, and Seven Killings inside the tomb?

Su Ping did not believe his luck was good enough to gather a complete version of the North Dipper Death Injection Scripture.
After all, this was just a branch residue; he guessed they were likely missing many pieces of the cultivation technique themselves.
But having a bit more was always better.
“Since it is so, then we can only go check out the tomb.”
“Let’s go.”
“If we don’t go, we won’t find the way back.”
In the eyes of Elder Chunyu, the white-haired youth gave a carefree smile, then leaped down the hillside.
During his descent, groups of evil qi emerged but were repelled before they could get close.
“He indeed has an Evil Exorcism Secret Treasure!”
“It’s a pity it’s just a Foundation Establishment!”
Elder Chunyu, watching this scene, was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
He suspected that the other party’s confidence stemmed from having such an Evil Exorcism Secret Treasure, assuring him that he wouldn’t be secretly harmed by the evil spirits in this secret realm.
“Senior, wait for me!”
Elder Chunyu used a magic fan artifact that enlarged and allowed him to float downwards, catching up to Su Ping’s pace.
When they approached the tomb’s grand door,
having his divine sense perception distance compressed, Su Ping noticed a masked female cultivator sitting cross-legged at the entrance.
This female cultivator… Su Ping had met her once before.
She was the one who had agreed at the exchange meeting to come explore here with True Man Mu.
True Man Mu was already gone.
This one… seemed to be in a bad state?
Su Ping noticed that the eyes of the masked female cultivator were blood-red, and she had grown two pairs of delicate white arms on her back.
Upon seeing them, those arms attempted to stretch out and grab them but were stopped mid-way.
“Fellow Taoists, pardon my laughable state, due to evil qi entering my body, my divine skills have become somewhat uncontrollable.”
The masked Foundation Establishment female cultivator said in a low voice:
“To have come this far, fellow Taoists must possess items of Evil Exorcism… I ask you to lend me one temporarily, once I suppress the influence of the evil qi, I can surely lead you out of here!”
“An item of Evil Exorcism?”
Upon hearing this, Su Ping checked the memory illusion.
Since it was his first time, besides the blessings of the Fox-faced Witch and the Punishment Evil Exorcism Stone Lions, he had only brought a storage bag containing some weapons and equipment.
Beyond that, he hadn’t brought anything else.
Thus, Elder Chunyu saw that the white-haired youth actually shook his head and lied to the face of the Foundation Establishment female cultivator.
This made Elder Chunyu somewhat anxious.
He recognized this masked female cultivator.
She was an elder from one of the Immortal Cultivation Families, who had already advanced to the Middle Period of Foundation Establishment ten years ago!
She had even slaughtered a demon beast at the Foundation Establishment stage on the battleground of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Most importantly, her master was an elder from the main peak of the Immortal Sect!
“Senior… can you really lead us out?”
Elder Chunyu hesitated for a moment, unable to help but ask.
“Of course!”
The Foundation Establishment female cultivator quickly nodded, expelling a gray treasure bead from her mouth.
This bead emitted an aura far surpassing any Spiritual Artifact.
It was already a high-grade Spiritual Artifact!
“This is a Breaking Realm Pearl. As long as I control the evil qi, this pearl can lead us out.”
“Okay!”
Elder Chunyu, eyeing the treasure bead, had his eyes gradually change. Hearing these words, his desire to survive warmed his heart, driving him to make a decision.
However, when Elder Chunyu took out his only remaining Evil Exorcism talisman and respectfully handed it to the female cultivator, his face suddenly changed, he gritted his teeth and angrily turned back to face the white-haired youth, shouting:
“Fellow Taoist, don’t you also have an Evil Exorcism Secret Treasure? Why don’t you take it out?”
“Why don’t you take it out!”
“Hand over the secret treasure now!”
Accompanied by Elder Chunyu’s questioning, a strong wind began to blow all around.
In the wind, the distorted roar of the female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage resounded.
“Ah!”
The white-haired youth sighed lightly, watching the Evil Qi that suddenly accelerated around him being blocked, he spread his hands and said to the masked female cultivator:
“I really don’t have any Evil Exorcism Secret Treasures, it’s all just an Evil Exorcism Blessing.”
“By the way, this blessing seems to have also blocked the power of your bead to bewitch people’s hearts.”
“That’s not a Breaking Realm Pearl at all.”
Su Ping exposed the truth in one sentence.
The masked female cultivator’s questioning voice suddenly disappeared.
Then, the female cultivator stored all of Chunyu Elder’s talismans into her storage bag.
Added arms emerged from her back and tenderly wrapped around Elder Chunyu’s neck.
The next second!
Elder Chunyu’s eyes suddenly flashed with pain.
Streams of black Qi entered Elder Chunyu’s body through the arms, causing his whole body to tremble and, within seconds, transformed into a black mud pile on the black soil…
Su Ping looked at the black mud and suddenly realized that within a few dozen meters behind the masked female cultivator,
there appeared to be similar traces of mud.
Clearly, Elder Chunyu was not the first victim.
And the Breaking Realm Pearl was fake.
Su Ping made a bold guess:
“You encountered something in the tomb with True Man Mu, making it more than just a simple case of Evil Qi entering the body.”
“Was that you transferring some kind of curse or Evil Spirit’s power just now?”
“Are you surviving until now by using this secret technique?”
“And you probably can’t find a way out either, so you can only wait here desperately, hanging on by a thread?”
The masked female cultivator narrowed her eyes slightly, apparently feeling slightly better after the incident with Elder Chunyu.
“I really can’t get out, but as long as I’m alive, I can definitely go back!”
“My master is an elder of the Immortal Sect, and the moment she can leave the main peak, she will definitely rescue me first!”
“As for you… entering this secret realm means certain death.”
“It’s your luck that you can contribute to my survival!”
“At least I will remember you and will surely repay your families once I get out.”
The masked female cultivator said this so naturally as if the logic was completely normal to her.
However, Su Ping was not interested in these reasonings.
Having confirmed something was wrong with the masked female cultivator, as soon as her words finished, hostility appeared instantly.
He began to retreat quickly and immediately released the Cold Ice Giant Sword.
Bang!
The Cold Ice Giant Sword was shattered by a delicate and clean palm.
At the same time, more than ten pale arms burst from the ground and swiftly seized Exorcism Mage Yun Kong’s entire body.
Hum!
The mark on Yun Kong’s forehead shone brightly!
Suddenly, a Heavenly Thunder fell, striking Yun Kong and shaking off the surrounding arms.
This allowed Yun Kong to pull away from the distance.
Clearly, the thunderbolt from the Fox-faced Witch Sakura was effective; it could suppress all Evil Demon powers!
After escaping a kilometer away,
Su Ping noticed the other party had not stood up to pursue.
He immediately guessed that the person could no longer move.
This reminded Su Ping of the Evil Spirits he had seen on Mysterious Turtle Island.
It seems that the masked female cultivator was likely becoming an Evil Spirit,
but she was surviving by using some secret techniques to maintain her senses, transferring the corrosive power of the Evil Spirit onto others.
“Your power is quite interesting. Find more cultivators for me, and I promise I’ll take you with me when there’s a chance to leave!”
“And when we return, I will fulfill three wishes for you within my power!”
Yun Kong heard the voice of the masked female cultivator in his ears.
Seeing she couldn’t do anything to Yun Kong, her expression wasn’t too anxious.
She had figured that with his abilities, he wouldn’t be able to leave the secret realm.
And if he still wanted to leave this dreadful place,
without a doubt, he could only trust her words to have that sliver of a chance!
About the tomb underground… heh, she used the last of her strength to choose to stay right here, wasn’t it to make sure all visitors couldn’t bypass her in the end?
She believed she could survive to the very end.
Even if the visitors came along with Foundation Establishment,
she was confident that they wouldn’t dare kill her but would instead offer help considering her master’s status.
After all, who allowed her to really have a great master, an elder of the Immortal Sect?
But!
Su Ping disregarded all of these!
“Sorry, I choose to refuse!”
