Chapter Seventy-Four: The Underground Imperial Mausoleum

  Treading lightly on the waves, wielding a purple sword in hand.

  Gradually, Lin Yun seemed to enter a very strange feeling, that is, the Lingbo micro-steps he kept making under his feet gave people a kind of ethereal and elusive feeling.

  The state of great accomplishment.

  Lingbo had been cultivating for more than a month, and at this moment he was about to enter the state of great completion. However, just as he was about to do so, Lin Yun's mind was violently shaken, and he immediately walked out of the strange feeling, scaring him into a cold sweat. If he continued on like this, he would definitely be killed by the two people in front of him, and the consequences would be unthinkable.

  Who saved himself?

  Just as he was unable to get out, a very mysterious and powerful aura awakened him, which saved his life. Who was it? Was it the mysterious black-clothed man? After all, since he crossed over, only the mysterious black-clothed man had taught him the Sword Remnant Chapter, and had rescued him three times. As for the mysterious black-clothed man's origins, they were still unknown to this day.

  He didn't dare to be careless at all. Lin Yun suddenly took out the Seal of Life and Death, looked at Mu Yu Bai in front of him and said: "Your pants have fallen down."

  A master's move, he wouldn't lose his composure and even more so be affected by the opponent's emotions. But when Lin Yun said "your pants have fallen down", Mu Yu Bai still instinctively looked down at his own crotch. This glance was harmless, but when Mu Yu Bai lifted his head again, a huge black and white seal came smashing towards him.

  It can be said that Mu Yu Bai was completely unprepared, and he didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before being ruthlessly smashed into a pile of minced meat by Sheng Si Yin. The remaining Lei Ling's face turned pale with shock, and she didn't dare stay any longer, quickly turning around and leaving.

  Normally, Lin Yun would not kill a woman, but the current situation is completely different. Who knows if letting this person go will cause trouble in the future? It's not comfortable to be remembered by someone at all times. To avoid trouble, one must cut the grass and eliminate the roots, absolutely cannot let it regrow with the spring breeze.

  With a swift and light step, Lin Yun's speed soared to a new level, quickly catching up to Lei Ting. Without hesitation, he swung out his sword, unleashing a three-meter-long crimson sword aura that struck Lei Ting's back with unerring accuracy. Undoubtedly, the sword aura's power was enough to cleave Lei Ting in two from the middle, and at first, not even a drop of blood would have flowed out.

  The two of them settled down, and Lin Yun finally let out a sigh of relief. Although he was still a bit shaken by the recent situation, the mysterious black-clad man who had just saved his life didn't say much this time. Through their repeated encounters, Lin Yun had come to realize that for some unknown reason, the mysterious black-clad man had been secretly helping him all along, yet he seemed reluctant to meet with him in person. So Lin Yun could only pretend not to know.

  This time, Lin Yun's subtle steps were only a little short of perfection, and it was also a bit of a small loss. He put the purple sword back in his brow, and without lingering, he quickly left after dealing with the two corpses.

  At this time, Linglong, who had been hiding in the dark, suddenly appeared, looking at the boy who had already left, smiled slightly, and followed him immediately.

  The continent of Tian Dong has three major empires, which have always been in a state of triangular balance. They are the Dragon Ascension Empire to the east, the Heavenly Dragon Empire to the west, and the Dark Empire in the middle. The south of the continent is grassland, while the north is the ocean.

  The Heavenly Punishment City is located in the southernmost part of the Dragon and Tiger Empire. Once you leave the border, it's a vast grassland. In fact, the grassland also has the existence of the empire, but many years ago, the Grassland Empire was destroyed by the joint hands of the three major empires, forming the current situation where multiple tribes are competing with each other.

  Since he had already chosen not to go to the border to join the army and fight, Lin Yun followed the principle of going wherever he went, unknowingly arriving at the border between the Dragon's Descent Empire and the Great Plains. Here, there was only a small town called Longmen Town, and in Longmen Town, the most famous place was the Longmen Inn.

  Looking around at the endless desert, Lin Yun was completely speechless. Because the Dragon Empire and the Great Plains were only separated by a strip of desert, once you crossed the desert, it would be the vast Great Plains. How did he end up here?

  He came to the desert for no reason, and Lin Yun didn't know either. Since he was already here, he didn't plan on returning just yet. Back when he was on Earth, he hadn't seen places like grasslands or deserts before, so it was a good opportunity to take a look at what they were really like.

  Endless desert, scorching sun blazing down.

  In the distance, a small town appeared in sight, and Lin Yun's heart suddenly filled with joy. He immediately quickened his pace towards the town. For two whole days and nights, he hadn't eaten or drunk anything, not even water. If this continued, he would surely die of thirst and hunger here. Fortunately, heaven didn't abandon him, letting him encounter a small town in the vast desert.

  With great difficulty, he made his way towards the town. Just as he was about to enter, he was intercepted by two soldiers guarding the entrance of the town. One of them asked with a cold face: "Who are you?"

  Wipe, no need to ask, Lin Yun also knew why the two of them intercepted him, and he didn't say much. He directly took out two gold coins from his bosom and handed them over, smiling: "I'm from Tianfa City, I've come this time for some business, please take care of me."

  At this moment, Lin Yun's face was pale and obviously dehydrated. Seeing this situation, the two soldiers didn't make things difficult for him either. After all, he had given them two gold coins, and one must be generous when doing business. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Alright, go in. Remember, don't cause any trouble on your way to Dragon Gate Town, or you'll regret coming to this place."

  "I understand."

  There was no need to continue pretending, after all, for a gatekeeper like this, as long as you gave them money, everything would be fine. Entering the town, one couldn't help but admit that this sole desert town was quite shabby, even the city walls were broken and crumbling. If an army were to attack Longmen Town, it's likely that just one wave of attacks would leave the town completely devastated.

  In fact, the Dragon Empire built this small town in the desert not to resist the grassland tribes, but to provide a resting place for travelers. The city that can really resist the grassland tribes is Tianfa City.

  Since the destruction of the Grassland Empire, the grassland tribes did not dare to continue offending the Three Great Empires, so for many years, the Three Great Empires have basically ignored the grassland tribes.

  Longmen Town has a long history, and it is said that it has been established for more than 300 years. However, the number of people coming and going in Longmen Town every day is extremely small. After all, the accumulated grievances over the years have made it unlikely for the grassland tribes and the people of the Dragon Empire to interact with each other. Nevertheless, Longmen Town itself has a population of several million, mostly merchants, as doing business here can bring great wealth.

  The whole Longmen Town has only one inn, which is the legendary Longmen Inn.

  It was really a bit hungry, Lin Yun had to ask twice before finally finding the Longmen Inn. Originally thought that the Longmen Inn would definitely be majestic, but when he really saw it, he was a little disappointed. The broken and dilapidated two-story wooden building, in front of the inn was a not-too-big-or-small broken signboard with four big words "Longmen Inn" written on it.

  Ever since entering Longmen Town, Lin Yun couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was staring at him. He shook his head, thinking it was just an illusion caused by his hunger and thirst.

  Entering the Longmen Inn, the simple tables were already filled with people, everywhere was full of curses, drinking sounds, and all sorts of noises rising up, just like a KTV, noisy to death.

  But at this moment, Lin Yun didn't care about that much. He called the shopkeeper and gave him ten gold coins to bring wine and dishes first. Before long, the shopkeeper brought a roasted lamb leg and a jug of strong liquor.

  He had just taken a sip, and Lin Yun spat out all the strong liquor in his mouth. The smell was so pungent that he cursed silently to himself. He didn't continue drinking, but instead asked for a large jug of clear water and gulped it down, then started gnawing on the lamb leg in his hand.

  "Have you guys heard? There's a rumor going around Longmen Town that a treasure has appeared recently."

  "Hmm, I've also heard about it, and legend has it that this treasure is related to a great secret."

  "What's the big secret?"

  "Listen up, when the Grassland Empire was destroyed by the alliance of the three major empires, at that time, the entire empire's treasures were buried and a grand underground imperial mausoleum was built."

  "It turned out to be the underground imperial mausoleum, what kind of secret is this? Many years ago, I had heard about the underground imperial mausoleum, but over the years, no one has been able to find it, and there were even rumors that the underground imperial mausoleum was just a myth."

  "It's impossible, the underground imperial mausoleum is one hundred percent true. I have a cousin who personally heard the grassland tribe mention this matter, and the underground imperial mausoleum is right under Longmen Town. It's just that due to the power of the Dragon Empire, the grassland tribe might have temporarily settled in Longmen Town."

  Lin Yun, who had just eaten and drunk his fill, listened to the rumors of the underground imperial mausoleum all around him. His heart stirred, no matter what, the Grassland Empire was originally the strongest empire on the continent, and he believed that the treasure it possessed was a staggering figure. If he could find this underground imperial mausoleum, wouldn't he become the richest man on the continent?

  Kept staring, waiting until a table just became empty, Lin Yun quickly occupied it, having walked for several days and nights, finally able to sit down and rest, truly feeling extremely comfortable.

  He called over a shop assistant and Lin Yun asked in a low voice, "What's the story with the underground imperial mausoleum they were just talking about?"

  Lin Yunke didn't ask in vain, after all he was very clear that if he wanted to get some information out of the shopkeeper's mouth, it wouldn't work without seeing some blood. He put ten gold coins on the table and smiled at the shopkeeper beside him.

  People who have lived in the desert for many years are basically all dark and sinister, the shopkeeper smiled and revealed a row of white teeth, giving people a gloomy feeling. He picked up the ten gold coins on the table and said with a smile: "Sir must be coming to Longmen Town for the first time, it's not surprising that you don't know about the underground imperial mausoleum."
