Half of its head was missing, and pale white brain matter was scattered on its face.
Its dried-up greenish-black body was in tatters. One could vaguely see the black organs inside through the broken bones and flesh.
The dark green eyes were wide open, and there was dead silence.
Xu Qi ‘an did not sense any Qi movement in its body, which meant that the body in front of him was pure and without any magic.
The ancient corpse was dead. Although this description was a bit strange, it was indeed dead.
Xu Qi ‘an’s pupils shrank into pinhole as if they had encountered a strong light. His breathing also became rapid.
The first thought that came to his mind was:
The owner of the tomb had returned!
The moment this guess rose in his heart, fear surged uncontrollably.
Luo Yuheng’s eyes glowed with a faint light, and with his cold and beautiful face, there was a kind of flirtatious beauty.
She slowly swept her gaze across the main burial chamber. After a while, she said softly, ”
“There’s no remnant soul.”
In other words, the ancient corpse had completely disappeared.
Although it was an ancient corpse that was thousands of years old, it had a real soul. Strictly speaking, it belonged to another kind of life.
Xu Qi ‘an closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Luo Yuheng turned his head and glanced at him. He raised his hand that was hidden in his sleeve and gently held Xu Qi ‘an’s hand.
“What did you find?”
Xu Qi ‘an let out a breath of turbid air and composed himself.
“There’s no trace of battle at the scene. The ancient corpse died very cleanly.
“There are three possibilities.The other one was much stronger than it and could easily kill it when it was sealed.
“How about … He’s both an acquaintance and a super expert.”
“So you suspect that the owner of this tomb has returned?” Luo Yuheng nodded slightly.
The state preceptor was indeed smart … Xu Qi ‘an’s face was solemn.
“Although it was sealed by Shen Shu and can’t use its power, its body is a genuine second-grade Daoist body. Even if it wasn’t as strong as a warrior, it was still able to destroy it like this.
“At least a transcendent, no, even an ordinary third rank might not be able to do this. There were indeed many extraordinary experts gathering in Yongzhou recently, but they didn’t have the need to kill the ancient corpse. They didn’t even have the confidence to kill it.
“At most, we’ll come in to Scout and ask for information.”
Luo Yuheng hummed in agreement with his guess.
Xu Qi ‘an continued,”the ancient corpse said that he would stay in the underground tomb and wait for his master to return and retrieve his fate.” That fate, by chance, ended up in my hands …”
At this point, his heart was extremely heavy.
If the ancient corpse died at the hands of the tomb’s owner, then one could imagine the attitude of this mysterious Taoist. He would be angry, brutal, and unfriendly …
“Don’t worry,”
Luo Yuheng smiled and said in the tone of a good mother, ”
you don’t have to worry about having too many debts. It’s very troublesome to offend one big Shot, and it’s fatal to offend two big shots. However, when you offend three, four, or even more, you’ll be very safe.
well, at least you’ll have a bargaining chip.
Wasn’t this the usual way of doing business in his previous life for large enterprises with severe financial losses …? Xu Qi ‘an retorted to relieve the pressure in his heart.
The Imperial advisor’s words were reasonable. No matter who the master of the underground palace was, if he wanted to deal with him, he would have to get past Luo Yuheng and the supervisor.
During this period of time, the Buddhist sect might also come and interfere.
After that, Xu Pingfeng would also express his opinion.
What? You want to touch my son? No, only I can kill my son.
There was also the fragment that looked like a Golden Lotus on the surface, but was actually the earth sect’s Dao head, and the orange cat’s true face.
There was also headmaster Zhao Shou who wholeheartedly wanted Yun Lu Academy to rise again.
There was also the Gu race who gave him the seven ultimate venomous insects and made him bear the karma of the Gu God’s seal.
These were all forces and people who were deeply connected to him.
let’s change our way of thinking. The existence of the underground palace’s master might also be a point that we can make use of.
Thinking of this, Xu Qi ‘an felt more at ease.
Sigh, he didn’t know if he should be happy or worried.
“When we return to the capital today, if the master of the underground palace tries to harm you, the supervisor will definitely give you hints or make some arrangements that you can’t understand at this stage,” Luo Yuheng said.
Hearing this, Xu Qi ‘an couldn’t wait to go back to the capital and hug the director’s thigh.
“Please wait a moment.”
He said, and then moved stones from the surroundings, making a simple stone tomb for the ancient corpse.
After guarding it for thousands of years, he could be considered free.
Outside the ancient tomb.
With a scabbard on his butt and a blade of grass in his mouth, Miao Youfang asked li lingsu, who was beside him, in a low voice, ”
“Brother li, do you think that no courtesan will like me after I lose my Imperial Qi?”
“Courtesan Belle?”
Li lingsu stood at the side and looked at him disdainfully.
“Is that all you’ve got?”
