Running A Cemetery in North America-Chapter 417 - 288: Teaming Up Again

"Everyone, quiet!"

Amidst the numerous discussions among the Tomb Guardians, a loud shout suddenly erupted from the crowd.

Everyone turned their eyes toward the source, seeing a Tomb Guardian step forward.

He leaned on a staff made of rock, and his appearance immediately silenced the crowd.

It was clear that this Tomb Guardian held considerable prestige within the Grand Sacrificial Society.

The man removed his hood, revealing his true face. It turned out to be an elderly man with white hair.

This was the first time Sun Yan had seen someone so old among the Tomb Guardians at the Grand Sacrificial Society.

"Since the emergence of the Grand Sacrificial Society, this is the first time a Black Six-Star mission has appeared in the records, highlighting the severity of the situation. It far exceeds our imagination. Those ancient immortal species, according to the records of the Grand Sacrificial Society, were either driven away by the immortals or sealed up long ago,

and now the Grand Sacrificial Society has tasked us with eliminating one such ancient immortal species. This task must not fail. Since everyone has received this mission, let’s all act together, each using their own skills, and find the city mentioned in the mission." The elder said solemnly.

"This time, let Mr. Li Sr. lead us all to complete this mission," someone suggested.

"Mr. Li Sr. is one of the Five Elders of the Grand Sacrificial Society, making him naturally qualified for this. Normally, the Tomb Guardians are scattered everywhere, only coming together to form teams when there’s a mission. This time someone must take the lead to gather the full strength of the Grand Sacrificial Society."

Listening to the voices around him, Sun Yan nodded thoughtfully.

It seemed Mr. Li Sr. held a significant position within the Grand Sacrificial Society, gaining so much recognition from others.

Apparently, his Tomb Guardian abilities shouldn’t be weak either.

"Alright, I’ll temporarily take on the commanding role. Now, would the comrades skilled in searching land and patrolling the sea search all the oceans to find the city first? Once we have a target, we can talk about locating the ancient immortal species." Mr. Li Sr. said earnestly.

As soon as he finished speaking, many Tomb Guardians volunteered proactively, expressing their willingness to participate in the search.

The enthusiasm of many people was ignited, making the atmosphere on-site quite lively.

Sun Yan nodded in approval. Although he didn’t know Mr. Li Sr., having someone able to mobilize the forces of the Grand Sacrificial Society at this time was a good thing for completing this Six-Star task.

"Hey, do you want to team up for this one?"

At this moment, someone walked over and lightly nudged Sun Yan’s back with an elbow.

Sun Yan turned to look, and it was none other than Zhou Mangmang.

"Sure, how do you plan on doing it? Right now, everyone seems to have no clue about the city." Sun Yan shrugged nonchalantly.

The difficulty of a Six-Star mission was definitely incomparable to a Five-Star mission.

Last time, when he teamed up with Zhou Mangmang for a Five-Star mission, they even encountered the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the Ghost Gate.

Who knows what they would face this time in a Six-Star mission. Even with three Tomb Guardian abilities, Sun Yan couldn’t claim to be invincible yet.

To be safe, it’s best to find more helpers.

"Based on the task description, the lost city should be underwater. Don’t forget that apart from Grandmaster Wen, my other Tomb Guardian is the West Sea Dragon King. Anything in the sea, I have a good chance of finding it." Zhou Mangmang said confidently.

"I see now."

Sun Yan suddenly realized he had just remembered this.

Ao Run, the West Sea Dragon King, one of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, governs the western sea regions as an immortal, responsible for rain and waves.

His child, the Third Prince, is the famous Little White Dragon, the White Dragon Horse in Tang Monk’s journey.

Although the West Sea Dragon King appears much less skilled in magical combat compared to the Monkey King,

in terms of functionality in the sea, he’s definitely a T0-level being.

Teaming up with Zhou Mangmang would surely improve the chances of finding that city compared to Sun Yan fumbling around alone.

"Alright, I’ll team up with you. Should we add more members? Like those Tomb Guardians from last time, they are quite strong." Sun Yan asked.

"Not for now. Anyway, this time the entire Grand Sacrificial Society has received the mission, everyone can participate. Teaming up doesn’t matter much, and those people have their own agendas. They aren’t the best choice for teammates, but you’re different."

Zhou Mangmang smiled calmly, "I can tell you’re more laid-back, an ideal choice for a teammate."

Sun Yan: "..."

It was the first time he had received such feedback, unsure whether to be happy or not.

"Let’s all join a group, everyone. We need to mobilize everyone for this. If we find the city’s location, we’ll notify everyone in the group." Mr. Li Sr. proactively suggested as he took out his phone.

Normally, aside from doing tasks offline, these Tomb Guardians generally wouldn’t contact each other.

However, the rare Six-Star mission this time leaves them no choice but to put aside maintaining their mysterious nature.

They immediately took out their phones and joined the group chat created by Mr. Li Sr.

"Sun Yan, do you want to team up?"

While Sun Yan was busy joining the Grand Sacrificial Society group chat, a hand suddenly patted his back from behind.

As soon as he heard the voice, Sun Yan immediately recognized it as Lin Wan.

Sun Yan still had some impression of this Tomb Guardian being a little rich woman with the Kitchen God’s blessing.

"Your friend?" Zhou Mangmang asked.

"Yeah, met while doing a task earlier." Sun Yan nodded.

"Then let’s do it together, we’re already here. Nice to meet you." Zhou Mangmang proactively shook hands with Lin Wan.

The two introduced their names and Tomb Guardians to each other. Upon learning that Lin Wan’s Guardian was the Kitchen God, Zhou Mangmang’s eyes lit up instantly.

"The Kitchen God is also the god of the kitchen, you must be very good at cooking, right?"

"Uh... I don’t usually cook much, but if you want to try, I can give it a shot."

Lin Wan said embarrassedly, "I recently upgraded the quality of my Tomb Guardian Divine Statue by one level. Currently, the best part about the Kitchen God is that he can dispel evil, predict good or bad fortune, which would be helpful if you take me on tasks."

"Well then, welcome to our team, making us three people now." Zhou Mangmang agreed readily.

Sun Yan rolled his eyes at her speechlessly.

After the last brief task, he knew that Zhou Mangmang was a foodie with a big appetite.

The reason for so easily letting Lin Wan join this time is probably due to her culinary power linked with the Kitchen God.

Once everyone joined the Grand Sacrificial Society group chat, Sun Yan discussed the search for the lost city with Zhou Mangmang and Lin Wan.

Although Lin Wan’s Tomb Guardian didn’t have abilities like the West Sea Dragon King.

But as the eldest daughter of the internationally renowned Lin Group, she had monetary power in the real world.

By using the power of money and leveraging technologies like planes and satellites, finding the lost city should not be too difficult.

This reminded Sun Yan that he could also use the Evil God Council’s power to search for the lost city.

With the three of them working together, the success rate of finding the city’s location would become much higher.

...

A recent surge of innovation has erupted across the globe.

A large number of painters, artists, comic creators, musicians, novelists, screenwriters, and directors were all bursting out with outstanding and perfect works as if their inspiration would never run dry.

Thrilling netizens worldwide.

No one knew what the reason was, only feeling that inspiration seemed inexhaustible.

A voice whispered in their ears, sustaining their inspiration for creation.

But the good times didn’t last long, as creators who rose to fame with this wave of innovation soon developed various mental illnesses.

Anxiety, depression, neurosis... were rampant.

The geniuses who initially created brilliant works gradually turned into madmen speaking gibberish.

The works they created increasingly exuded an aura of madness and frenzy.

Some even claimed that an invisible god existed in this world, their burst of inspiration was due to communication with this god.

Only those with extraordinary talents could perceive the presence of this great god.

Globally, a unified cult appeared.

Members of the cult all shared a belief in a god they perceived, Kernu.

Yet in America, this land known as the land of freedom, none of this occurrence happened.

It seemed even Kernu had abandoned this continent, causing many online users to mock that after the new president took office, America had already started to decline.

The title of world beacon, in the future, would certainly no longer belong to America.

No one realized that the world was currently in a state of hidden turmoil.

A large number of Tomb Guardians were mobilizing to find the location of that underwater city.

"Is it not enough yet."

South Pacific, on the sea surface.

Zhu Tianlin stood on Xu Fu’s cargo ship deck, confusedly speaking to himself.

He used his kin’s ability to disrupt global human spirits, absorbing spiritual power to strengthen himself.

But oddly, the North America region and the East Asia region remained unaffected, leaving him very puzzled.

At this point, Xu Fu came walking from behind, seemingly noticing Zhu Tianlin’s confusion, he spoke up, "In the East, that country currently has remnants of Kunlun, your methods are ineffective, while in North America, it seems that a Tomb Guardian is secretly interfering, if you don’t deal with them, you won’t achieve your desired effect."

"A Tomb Guardian... is it him?!"

Zhu Tianlin suddenly thought of Sun Yan, whom he encountered that day at the farm.

"I know the situation of the North American Tomb Guardian, in terms of magical combat capabilities, he is very powerful, if you don’t deal with him, you won’t be able to touch the North America region, why don’t we go together to eliminate him, eradicating future troubles once and for all." Xu Fu proposed.

Zhu Tianlin readily agreed, "Alright."
