Chapter 329 Icecold Blackvein Iron

“Fine, I’ll believe you . ”

After Guo Ran’s reply, Zhao Mingshan and the Corrupt Chosen both cast a meaningful glance at one of their subordinates .

Those two people immediately understood that after they pa.s.sed through the pa.s.sageway, they were to immediately get rid of that hateful brat .

The two of them quickly shot down the pa.s.sageway . They were both Favored, so they reached the halfway point in an instant .

“Eh?! Demons from the Corrupt path, how dare you try to invade my Righteous path’s territory?! Die!”

Suddenly, a n.o.ble and virtuous voice rang out . A handful of iron beads shot out, smas.h.i.+ng along the wall of the pa.s.sageway .

“NO!” The two of them instantly despaired . Countless steel hands appeared out of the walls, carrying the same hammers that had smashed Long Chen .

The two of them did their best to block a couple of them, but there were too many of them . Those two powerful Favored were smashed to pulp .

After they died, their Dao-marks floated through the stone wall and disappeared without a trace .

Everyone was dumbfounded . They looked at the ma.s.s of pulp and flesh stuck to the pa.s.sageway now . Even the bones had been crushed to pieces .

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d Guo, you’re courting death!” The Corrupt Chosen let out a furious roar . He almost lost control and personally charged into the pa.s.sageway .

“How am I courting death? If you’re going to send people down here, you should be a bit more earnest . How can you send someone so repulsive? That Corrupt disciple looked like a zombie who had climbed out of his own tomb, and was way too frightening . I couldn’t help myself from getting him killed . Ah, sorry, sorry . Pick someone who looks a bit nicer next time . Unfortunately, my courage is particularly small!” Guo Ran somehow managed to sound wronged .

The Chosen instantly understood Guo Ran had never had any intentions of letting them through . Everything he had done was just an act .

“You’re playing us?!” the Corrupt Chosen once more roared furiously, his voice causing the entire tomb to quiver .

“Hey, don’t wrongly accuse the innocent! How have I played you? I’m just having some fun with you because I’m so bored down here,” laughed Guo Ran .

Whether it was the Righteous or Corrupt disciples, they were all grinding their teeth furiously . To be duped by this brat, causing two Favored die, was a complete disgrace .

“Could it be… Long Chen didn’t die?”

Hearing Guo Ran’s laughter caused all of them to think of a certain possibility . Otherwise, how could Guo Ran laugh so heartily?

At this time, the light in the pa.s.sageway faded . That lightstone had been pulled over by Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength .

After advancing to the Tendon Transformation realm, Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength had once more advanced . Even Long Chen didn’t know what level his current Spiritual Strength had reached .

In any case, pulling over a stone that was just several dozen meters away from him was as easy as raising his hand .

“Boss, have you recovered?” Guo Ran celebrated when he saw Long Chen’s actions .

“Yup . It didn’t end up injuring my bones, or it would have taken longer . ” Long Chen nodded .

Ignoring the people cursing and shouting up there, Long Chen raised the lightstone . He saw they were in a huge stone room .

The room was square-shaped, with sixteen stone pillars that were so thick, it would require several people just to wrap around one of them . The room was simple and crude, and at the center, there was a coffin around fifteen meters long .

“Seems like the treasure should be this coffin,” said Long Chen . “A normal person’s coffin wouldn’t be so big, so it’s probably packed with something . But don’t get your hopes up . This tomb is so ancient, it’s more than possible for the treasure to have already disappeared . ”

But Guo Ran wasn’t nervous about it . “If I obtain it, that’s my luck . If I don’t, that’s just my fate . I’m fine with it either way . I just wonder how we’re supposed to open this coffin . ”

“There should be a mechanism inside . You search slowly . There are a couple murals over there I want to have a look at . ”

There were four huge murals carved into the walls . They were preserved much more perfectly than the ones outside, and they immediately drew Long Chen’s attention .

Each one of them depicted a different scene, but they all contained images of humans living in an extremely auspicious and peaceful manner .

“Could it be that people from this era all lived peacefully? They all helped each other, without struggle or slaughter?”

Long Chen couldn’t help feeling some yearning towards what was depicted . Of the murals, there was one with people doing manual labor together, there was one with people facing off against a ferocious beast, there was one with a child running around playfully, and there was one with a delightful celebration .

There was no slaughter or wars . These images caused the entire tomb to be filled with an auspicious air .

That was incomprehensible . Was this supposed to mean the tomb owner’s death was something worth rejoicing? These drawings were in celebration of the owner’s pa.s.sing?
