Chapter 391

The moment the bronze coffin was opened, a gust of evil Qi filled the air. The atmosphere in the main tomb plummeted, and the torches shook violently.

The people who were about to turn around and leave froze on the spot. It was not that they wanted to stay, but the blood in their bodies seemed to have frozen. The cold Qi shrouded them, as if they were in an extremely cold environment, and their bodies and blood were frozen.

If the Jinlian Taoist priest was a cat, he would have been furious.

Clang!

The loud sound of a coffin lid falling to the ground came from behind them. At the same time, the crowd, who had their backs facing the stage, saw the armored mummified guards on the stairs below. They turned their necks one hundred and eighty degrees, going against the structure of their bones. They turned their faces to the back and stared at the crowd silently.

The scene was too creepy and strange. Great fear exploded in their hearts. The grave robbers of the Houtu Gang showed expressions of extreme horror.

Crack, crack …

Xu Qi 'an heard the sound of bones cracking not far from him. The armored people standing at the four corners of the high platform also woke up.

He slowly turned his eyes to look at the expressions of his companions.

Chu Yuanzhen's eyes widened slightly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The long sword on his back trembled from time to time, as if it wanted to be unsheathed, but was suppressed by an invisible force.

Master Hengy Yuan's facial muscles twitched, and his chewing muscles bulged. He used all his strength to break through the suppression of the invisible force and regain his freedom.

The Jinlian Taoist priest's chest rose and fell, as if he was doing some kind of breathing exercise. He was the steadiest and calmest, but there was determination in his eyes.

"Is the Taoist priest holding back his big move? Is he going to cut off his tail to survive, or is he going to sacrifice himself to protect us …" Xu Qi 'an thought, and his eyes turned to Zhong Li.

Lina, who was on her back, was still unconscious. She was the most "relaxed" one among them. As for the unlucky Zhong Li, her delicate body under the linen robe was trembling slightly.

"I don't know if it's her fault or mine … maybe it's both!" Xu Qi 'an thought, trying to find joy in this bitter situation.

At this moment, an image automatically appeared in his mind. A hand covered in green hair reached out from the bronze coffin and pressed against the edge of the coffin.

The person in the coffin slowly stood up. It was a mummy dressed in a yellow robe, with a crown made of pure gold on his head. The skin on his face was stuck to his bones, and his nose was rotten, leaving only two holes.

His eyeballs were embedded in his eye sockets, as if they would fall out at any moment.

The moment his Divine Sense caught sight of the mummy, Xu Qi 'an felt as if a steel nail had been inserted into his brain. The pain was so great that he almost fainted, and the image shattered.

The person lying in the coffin was indeed that Taoist, a Second Order who had failed to pass the Heavenly Tribulation. No wonder he was so powerful … Xu Qi 'an felt his scalp go numb.

After a few seconds of silence, the first footsteps were heard. The mummy had left the bronze coffin and was slowly walking toward the group.

"Buzz buzz buzz …"

The long sword on Chu Yuanzhen's back started to tremble violently, but it couldn't be unsheathed.

Thud … The beads of sweat on the scholar's forehead finally rolled down.

Hengy Yuan's eyes bulged. The veins on his cheeks and forehead bulged, and the muscles all over his body spasmed violently. Even so, he still couldn't break through the invisible force's suppression.

Zhong Li was like a quail, trembling all over and burying her head lower and lower.

A foul smell assaulted their nostrils. The members of the Houtu Gang at the front were so frightened that they had peed themselves.

But they couldn't be blamed. They were in an ancient tomb from thousands of years ago, and the evil being had emerged from the coffin and was slowly approaching them from behind …

Just the thought of it sent chills down their spines. What's more, this was actually happening.

The Jinlian Taoist priest closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they were clear and bright. He seemed to have made up his mind.

Just then, the footsteps stopped, and a hoarse, low voice spread to every corner of the main tomb.

"Welcome back, my lord!"

The sound of armor clanking against each other rang out. The mummies at the four corners of the high platform, as well as the mummies on the steps, all knelt down and worshipped someone in the crowd.

The evil and frightening aura quickly receded, like a receding tide.

Everyone was shocked to find that they had regained their ability to move.

"Don't act rashly!"

The Jinlian Taoist priest transmitted his voice to everyone, including the grave robbers.

"Gulp …"

The sound of saliva being swallowed could be heard continuously. The legs of the grave robbers were trembling, but they didn't lose their rationality. Their past experiences played an important role in keeping them from collapsing like ordinary people. They didn't just want to run away without a care and make things worse.

At the same time, a thought flashed through their minds: Lord?

Who's the lord? Looking at the mummy's posture, it seems like the lord is among us?

The grave robbers looked at each other, trying their best to find the 'lord' in the crowd. Who could become the lord of the mummy? What kind of person would that have to be?

And that person is among us …

The sick man gang leader subconsciously looked at the Jinlian Taoist priest. According to the contents of the murals, the owner of this tomb was a Taoist, and there happened to be an expert from the Earth Sect present.

The conclusion was simple. This old Taoist priest was the lord of the mummy.

"He, he actually has such an identity … In that case, this expert from the Earth Sect didn't come to the tomb just to save us. Hmm, the actions of an expert are not something that an ordinary person like me can guess. "

The sick man gang leader was trembling with fear.

The Wild Warlock Gong Yangsu looked at the Jinlian Taoist priest in bewilderment.

The people of the Houtu Sect who noticed the abnormality of the two leaders immediately looked at the Jinlian Taoist priest, who had the most demeanor of an expert, and felt extremely relieved.

The people of the Heaven & Earth Society stood very close to each other, so for a moment, they couldn't tell who the yellow-robed mummy was.

Out of habit, Chu Yuanzhen first looked at the Jinlian Taoist priest.

The Jinlian Taoist priest shook his head slightly.

Hengy Yuan was a martial monk, not a Taoist. Although he was talented, there was nothing strange about him … Lina was from the Southern Border's Gu Tribe and had nothing to do with this tomb … The Celestial Commissioner, Miss Zhong, could be excluded … Could it be?!

Chu Yuanzhen suddenly turned his head and stared at Xu Qi 'an.

He remembered the reason why the group came to the main tomb. It was because of Xu Qi 'an's three consecutive "coincidences" that they entered the main tomb.

So it wasn't a coincidence, there was a reason … Xu Ningyan was the lord of the tomb's owner?

This guess appeared in Chu Yuanzhen's mind. He was terrified, and his body trembled inexplicably.

He's kneeling to me? Calling me lord? Xu Qi 'an could intuitively tell that the "lord" the mummy was referring to was him.

Huge shock and confusion filled his mind, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

For a moment, he almost blurted out, "Why did he call me lord?!"

But reason made him shut his mouth, because there were only two possibilities. First, he was really the yellow-robed mummy's lord, and his identity was unimaginably terrifying.

Second, the mummy had recognized the wrong person for some reason.

Putting aside the first possibility, if it was the second possibility, then the mummy had recognized the wrong person. If he asked rashly, his identity would definitely be exposed.

When that happened, what awaited them was a complete annihilation.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi 'an forcefully suppressed his surging emotions. He stared expressionlessly at the yellow-robed mummy and said in a low voice,

"Well done."

The mummy buried its head even lower.

Seeing this scene, the sick man sect leader was stunned. His eyes slowly widened. So … so the "lord" the mummy was referring to was the Sixth Rank Warrior, and not the Taoist priest of the Earth Sect?

This, this … he's just a martial artist. '

At this moment, he was incomparably glad that he did not secretly activate the Aura Observation Art after coming into contact with these 'reinforcements'.

Otherwise, he might have died on the spot, and the cause of his death was because he saw something he shouldn't have.

The members of the Houtu Sect held their breaths and looked at Xu Qi 'an dumbfounded.

With its head lowered, the mummy spoke again in a low voice with some doubt, "Why didn't the lord become an immortal?"

Become, become an immortal?!

This sentence was like a sudden clap of thunder, exploding in everyone's ears. The weak grave robber, the powerful Jinlian Taoist priest, and of course, Xu Qi 'an were all shocked at the same time.

However, compared to the grave robber who had lost the ability to control his emotions, Xu Qi 'an and the others were calmer and did not show any expression.

Xu Qi 'an stared at the mummy expressionlessly, but at this moment, his inner thoughts exploded.

Become, become an immortal? According to my understanding, becoming an immortal means transcending ranks. It's an existence on the same level as Buddha, Gu God, and Sorcerer God.

What kind of person was this yellow-robed mummy's lord?

After the supreme gods and demons, there were only a few existences that transcended ranks. This tomb was more than two thousand years old. During these two thousand years, someone became an immortal?

No, it could also be that he failed to become an immortal, but the mummy didn't know …

Damn it, I can't believe I met someone of this level in the tomb … It must be Zhong Li's fault, it must be her fault … What should I do, how should I answer?

The mummy lowered its head, and its eyeballs that looked like they were about to fall out of their sockets moved, as if it was scrutinizing Xu Qi 'an.

Xu Qi 'an, who noticed the mummy sizing him up, suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes. He said slowly, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The mummy lowered its head in fear, and its body trembled slightly. "Please forgive me, my lord. Please forgive me."

As he spoke, he untied the yellow robe, revealing the shriveled body inside. His chest was caved in, and the outline of his ribs could be seen under the thin skin.

Besides, Xu Qi 'an noticed that the mummy's body seemed to have been burned before.

"Pfft …"

Suddenly, the mummy did something that no one expected. It raised its palm and pierced its chest, digging out an object. It was not a heart, but a jade seal with a clear luster.

"My lord, are you here for this jade seal? You left it in my body back then, and asked me to take good care of it. I, I have always kept it safe, and now, I return it to my lord. "

The mummy presented the jade seal with both hands, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Now, what year is it now?"

"The current dynasty of the Central Plains is called Daibun," Xu Qi 'an said lightly.

"Daibun …" the mummy murmured, and asked humbly, "How, how many years have I been asleep?"

'How the hell would I know? Why don't you come with me first, and I'll hand you over to the country, and let the researchers tell you the answer …' Xu Qi 'an cursed in his heart.

His brain worked quickly, and he did not take the initiative to answer the mummy's question. He said lightly, "Time is meaningless to us, isn't it?"

'What a beautiful answer!'

The Jinlian Taoist priest encouraged him in his heart. 'Xu Ningyan is really steady.'

He vaguely gave Xu Qi 'an a look, telling him that it was about time, and that he should think of a way to escape.

Xu Qi 'an got it. He reached out to pick up the jade seal, and said, "Go back to sleep."

He did not say much. Firstly, he was afraid that he would make mistakes if he said too much. Secondly, he was trying to change his character. As a lord, he did not need to explain to his subordinates when he took back his own things.

In fact, he did not want the jade seal, but judging from the mummy's attitude, this jade seal seemed to be very important. If he did not take it, the mummy might be suspicious.

The jade seal was hard, and it felt like warm jade. Xu Qi 'an quietly turned the jade seal over, and saw the words engraved at the bottom. He only had time to remember a few words, and suddenly, the jade seal turned into white sand, and slipped through his fingers.

An indescribable, indescribable, tide-like force passed through his arm and into Xu Qi 'an's body.

He felt the blood in his body rushing into his brain, causing a strong dizziness. It was as if something in his body had awakened.

"You are not the lord …"

The mummy suddenly raised its head, and in its eyes, a bloody light burst out bit by bit.

A hoarse and low voice echoed in the tomb chamber, mixed with strong anger and murderous intent.

"Go!"

The Jinlian Taoist priest reacted the fastest. He waved his sleeves, stirring up a gust of wind, and sent the tomb robbers from the Houtu Clan, Chu Yuanzhen, and the others off the platform, flying towards the main tomb's gate.

At the same time, he grabbed Xu Qi 'an's shoulder, and tried to throw him down.

He wanted to stay and bear the mummy's anger.

However, Xu Qi 'an shook his shoulder, and shook off his hand. He pressed his palm on the priest's chest, and said in a low voice, "Taoist priest, bring them out.

"I'll stay."

Bang!

The Qi in his palm suddenly exploded, and the Jinlian Taoist priest was sent flying like a cannonball.

In the process of being sent flying, the Jinlian Taoist priest saw the mummy grab Xu Qi 'an's neck, and lift him up high. The armored soldiers at the four corners of the platform brandished their weapons, and rushed forward, wanting to tear this ant who impersonated their lord into pieces.

"Xu Qi 'an …" the Jinlian Taoist priest murmured.
