Running A Cemetery in North America-Chapter 453 - 323: Queen Mother of the West!_2

"The items have already been taken by you, and I suppose you won’t return them. I won’t say much more. Although you have the protection of the Immortal Family, the Realm of Xi Yi can obliterate everything. Even immortals here might end up ultimately forgetting the past. Let me propose a transaction; I can send you away, but you must assist me in delivering something to my king."

The man looked at Sun Yan and spoke calmly.

"You... are not Ying Zheng?" Sun Yan was somewhat surprised.

The Emperor’s Tomb, the Realm of Xi Yi, Black Robe, Golden Dragon.

Sun Yan initially thought that combining all these traces together, the man before him was indeed the ancient emperor Ying Zheng.

Yet surprisingly, the man’s explanation revealed Sun Yan’s guess was wrong.

"Of course not, I am merely temporarily guarding this place for my king, watching over the Creation Bell and Cauldron. As for my name... let’s leave it unsaid."

The man flicked his hand, and a golden talisman shot out, landing in Sun Yan’s hand.

Sun Yan examined it closely, and it was inscribed with many Qin Dynasty seal script characters—the font used during the Qin Dynasty.

"My king once sought the Kunlun, joined Kunlun, and learned the way of longevity. Yet, a person of longevity must not openly appear in the world; this is a rule left by the Immortal Family. Thus, I haven’t heard of his situation over the years. You should deliver this on behalf of Kunlun Ruins, and it will count as the transaction between us, how about it." The man asked.

"Alright, but those innocent mortals caught in this must also be taken out together."

Sun Yan accepted the golden talisman and nodded in agreement.

"Naturally, leaving them here serves no purpose."

Sun Yan suddenly thought of something and hastily said, "By the way, leave Zhang Jiao here to fend for himself. Releasing him would be a disaster."

The man nodded, and his entire body sank into the ground along with the ancient pine tree.

Simultaneously, Sun Yan noticed that the surrounding pure white space began to dissipate.

In the blink of an eye, he was inside the chamber of the Emperor’s Tomb, surrounded by the unconscious Professor Zhao and his group.

"This person can control the Realm of Xi Yi; his means are truly terrifying." Sun Yan muttered apprehensively to himself.

"You actually came out of the Realm of Xi Yi, how did you do that."

At this moment, the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao and the Monkey King quickly appeared beside Sun Yan, asking with some curiosity.

Sun Yan hurriedly recounted everything he had encountered in the Realm of Xi Yi.

With the experience of these two Great Gods, they might know the reason.

"Kunlun Ruins, this place uses Xi Yi to guard the Creation Bell and Cauldron. Kunlun’s methods are indeed remarkable. The Queen Mother of the West is still in Kunlun presiding; you should go and take a look," the Monkey King nodded in agreement.

Sun Yan couldn’t help but show a troubled expression, "But I just killed someone from Kunlun Ruins before, is it unavoidable to have a confrontation when I go to Kunlun?"

"No need to worry, that matter was handled very discreetly. Besides, we will conceal your presence; Kunlun Ruins will definitely not find out. Just act as if you know nothing."

Seeing the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao reassure him like this, Sun Yan was relieved.

He carried Professor Zhao and the others, who had fainted, out of the Lishan Mausoleum and took out his phone to contact Lin Wan and Zhou Mangmang.

Only then did Sun Yan notice that he felt he had only spent a few hours in the Realm of Xi Yi.

Yet outside, three whole days had passed.

If he had come out any later, Professor Zhao and the others might truly have died of starvation, being mere mortals.

When Lin Wan received Sun Yan’s call, she was immediately overwhelmed with excitement.

For so many days, there had been no response from the Lishan Mausoleum, and no one could find where the vanished Professor Zhao and his group had gone.

This directly turned the incident into an unsolved mystery.

But now, Sun Yan had safely brought Professor Zhao and the others out of the Lishan Mausoleum, which was good news for Lin Wan.

Otherwise, even with the Lin Group’s strong financial power, it would suffer significant impact from the mishap affecting the archaeology team members.

"Sun Yan, where are you right now?"

"Right at the entrance of the Lishan Mausoleum. Professor Zhao and the others are all unconscious. Please send someone over to wrap things up."

As Sun Yan looked at the midday sun, he asked calmly, "By the way, did Zhou Mangmang succeed in divine enthronement after obtaining the Creation Bell and Cauldron?"

The voice on the phone suddenly became somewhat troubled: "There have been some issues; Mangmang can’t seal the Creation Bell and Cauldron nor complete the God-Enshrinement Task. Recently, she’s been locked in her room, researching how to seal them."

"I see... Alright, then I understand. Once I return, we’ll study it together. For now, let’s leave it at that."

Sun Yan hung up the phone and then waited in place for Lin Wan to send people over.

—

Lin Group, resort.

As Sun Yan got out from the back seat of the Range Rover, Lin Wan immediately came forward with Zhou Mangmang.

During the days of Sun Yan’s disappearance, the two were very worried, as Sun Yan had encountered trouble while trying to save them.

Now that Sun Yan returned safely, it was naturally a great relief.

"What exactly happened?" Zhou Mangmang asked in confusion.

"The Lishan Mausoleum wasn’t as simple as we thought. Back then, to guard the Creation Bell and Cauldron, the first Emperor evidently set up numerous measures. But now, it’s no longer necessary to discuss these things. Let’s focus on current matters first."

Sun Yan shook his head, not wanting to talk much about the mysterious black-robed man in the Xi Yi Realm.

His understanding of the man wasn’t deep, nor did he find it necessary to disclose.
