Chapter 131: The Living Dead
A tomb is a place where dead people are buried, how can there be any vitality?
The young man's eyebrows furrowed and his gaze also turned to the tomb. Because it was very close, the young man could clearly see the entire view of the tomb.
It looks no different from other graves, with the same direction and identical style. Neither the soil on the edge of the grave nor anything else has been renovated.
In other words, the construction time of this tomb is the same as that of other tombs. The person buried in the tomb must be a dead person and it is unlikely that someone was just buried or that an alive person was mistakenly thought to be dead and then buried.
The young man no longer had the mind to think about why the autumn family would come here and hide, with a strong soul sense, condensed into a bundle, carefully approaching the tomb, wanting to explore the truth.
However, his soul had undergone a transformation and although it was not weak, it seemed as if there was an invisible barrier outside the tomb that prevented him from entering.
"Dao Ling, what have you discovered?"
After a long silence, the dagger spirit finally spoke up and said: "That tomb, Master, your feeling is correct, it has been set with a seal by someone. Although this seal is not very powerful, even in my current state, I am unable to penetrate inside."
Upon hearing this, the young man felt a great deal of curiosity. It was just a tomb, yet they still had to set up some sort of seal?
The Emperor's side, Yun Tai Xu, had a cultivation base of three layers of the mysterious boundary, and setting up a formation would require the assistance of the Pre-Heaven Spirit Treasure. At present, although the range of the tomb was not as large as the long street on that day, it was still not something that ordinary people could achieve.
Only after reaching the realm of Li Xuan can one rely on their own strength to mobilize the power of space and then set up a boundary.
There is a seal left here, doesn't that mean there must be something extraordinary in the tomb? This also explains why the people of the Qiu family are furious but instead of looking for Feng San Niang, they come to hide here.
"If there's really something good here, hey, Old Qi, you think the Qi family can get it that easily?"
The young man let out a cold laugh, his spiritual awareness continuing to stretch forward. This time, he was shocked beyond measure - unexpectedly, there were also seals outside the other tombs.
Although it's unclear whether all the graves in the entire cemetery have set up a seal, under the perception of the soul, every grave is without exception, and they all have a seal guarding them.
"What's going on here?"
The young man was a bit stunned. The existence of the boundary must have been concealed from the people of the Autumn Family and the Crazy Knife Mansion, and it would definitely not be hidden from the other people in Qingyang Town.
Although the seal is powerful, even with Qiu Zhen's cultivation, it cannot be broken open. However, the existence of these tombs here is obviously not a short-term thing, and there must have been a very long period of time.
If the graveyard has an owner, how dare the people of the Qiu family hide here and set up an ambush?
In other words, this tomb has no owner, so the people of the Qiu family dare to do things here. Otherwise, a master who can set up so many small seals, even if he is only borrowing the Xiantian Lingbao, is not someone that the Qiu family would dare to offend.
Since the cemetery no longer has an owner, the seal is strong but can't withstand the erosion of time. Moreover, as long as we persist and continue to attack, the seals in Qingyang Town can be broken by so many people!
Unless the practitioners of these seals have cultivated to a realm that is admired by all living beings, they will not be broken open by the Xuanqi cultivators in Qingyang Town.
And if the barrier caster is indeed a master of that level, then even if the Akane family, the Kyokutoin, and all the cultivators in Seiyō Town join forces, they still won't be able to do anything about it. So why would someone from the Akane family make such a move?
The young man became more and more curious!
Since the Qi family is doing this, they must have discovered something. Let's just wait and see, and I'll play along as a yellow sparrow!
The young man quietly withdrew his soul perception and stood still, waiting silently here.
Time slowly slips away, and before you know it, night falls on the earth. After a while, the moon rises high in the sky, its soft light pouring down to the ground, giving people a faint sense of coolness.
Tonight is the night of the full moon, and the moon looks especially round.
The young man couldn't help but look up at the high sky, on this night of a full moon. He wondered how Xiao Ya was doing now. With his family's influence, it shouldn't be difficult to find a suitable cultivation method for her.
It's been several months since I left home, and I don't know if there have been any other changes in the imperial capital... The young man's expression fell into deep contemplation.
No matter how hard you work and grow outside, in the end, it's all about protecting that home well. What if something happens to that home?
"Grandfather, before you left, didn't you promise me that nothing would go wrong in our family?"
Reborn and back, the young man didn't doubt that the old master wouldn't have any tricks up his sleeve. After all, everything had changed, and he himself had once again demonstrated an astonishing cultivation talent.
These, perhaps, can dispel the unknown helplessness and apprehension in the old man's heart.
As long as the old master doesn't surrender, I believe that even the current emperor won't easily take action against the family. It was also five years after the previous life that the emperor took action!
"Five years!"
The young man's brow suddenly felt a chill, the time left for himself was already not much, if in five years' time, his own cultivation could not reach the point where the current imperial family looked up to him, then perhaps the tragedy would not necessarily occur as it did in the previous life, but some commonalities would certainly appear.
"Master, look quickly!"
Just as the young man was worrying about everyone in his family, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.
The young man hastily looked around and was immediately stunned by what he saw.
All that can be seen is that the tombs guarded by the seals are emitting a faint, eerie glow. As this light spreads out, the vitality that the young man had sensed earlier, which was previously vague and uncertain, has now become clear and distinct.
However, the so-called true and genuine is still somewhat different from the vitality of a normal person. This vitality seems to be mixed with too much chaos, and it's not quite pure, as if like a primitive wild beast, chaotic yet powerful.
When the faint light floated and appeared, the round moonlight in the high sky was actually pulled by them, directly shot into the boundary, and then swept into the tomb.
As more and more of the moon's halo is absorbed by the tomb, the sensed chaotic vital energy becomes increasingly intense and powerful!
Bang!
At that moment, the crisp crackling sound echoed, and immediately, the sensing boundary, suddenly, like a large gate, slowly opened.
"Rumble!"
Just as the boundary opened, those tombs all shook slightly, and then the tombstones in front of each tomb slowly moved away, revealing an exit about the size of a door window.
Then, from this exit, a shadowy figure slowly crawled out.
A tomb, a figure appears, more than thirty figures in total, emerging from it like ghosts!
These shadows emerged from the tomb and immediately stood up, making no sound. They looked up at the sky and were greedily absorbing the round moonlight coming from high above.
Every shadow around the outside of the faint light, when they absorbed the round moonlight, became more and more dazzling, until finally, it was like a glowing body.
These figures have a vitality, but when they fully appear, the young man can clearly feel that they are not real living people, but rather... undead!
In other words, it's like being a puppet!
