The face had facial features and its eyes were closed. It was different from ordinary stone masks. The face on the stone had a sense of liveliness that a mask didn't have. It was as though it could close its eyes and come alive at any moment.
Everyone looked warily at the face on the stone. On the stone platform beside them, a member of the Zhang family suddenly jumped down.
This was too unexpected. No one had expected it, nor did they have the time to react. By the time they realized it, the person had already jumped from the platform to the ground.
The ground was covered in Fiend Stones. After the person landed on the ground, the shoes on his feet strangely turned into Fiend Stones. His calves also rapidly turned into Fiend Stones. In just two seconds, his calves had turned into Fiend Stones.
Everything happened too quickly. Only Zhang Chunqiu reacted. He used his hand as a saber and slashed out a saber beam, severing the petrified legs of the human fiend. He reached out and pulled him back to the stone platform.
The person seemed to snap to his senses as he screamed tragically. His legs kept bleeding.
"Stop his bleeding and treat his injuries," Zhang Chunqiu instructed as he stared at the legs that had been completely petrified.
The legs stood on the ground, connected with the Fiend Stones as though they had become a part of them. It was so strange that it made one's scalp tingle.
Although Zhou Wen wanted to ask what was going on, it was clearly not the time to ask. He used Truth Listener to scan the Fiend Tomb and the Fiend Stones, but he didn't discover anything abnormal. He only felt that Essence Energy was flowing in the Fiend Stones, but there was nothing special about them.
"Zhou Wen, go back first. The situation in the Fiend Tomb has changed. It's too dangerous. Don't let any accidents happen," Zhang Chunqiu said to Zhou Wen.
Although Zhou Wen really wanted to take a picture of the tiny palm symbol of the Fiend Tomb, it was impossible for him to request to take a picture in such a situation. All he could do was listen to Zhang Chunqiu and leave first.
The trouble with the Fiend Tomb looked a little huge. When the Zhang family left with Zhou Wen, he could see the Zhang family constantly rushing towards the Fiend Tomb, presumably to provide reinforcements.
Zhou Wen didn't know what was going on with the Fiend Tomb, so he couldn't help even if he wanted to.
When he returned to Celestial Master Manor, Zhou Wen kept thinking about the Fiend Tomb. He didn't know what that strange face was.
It looked like a part of a Fiend Stone or some dimensional creature. Zhou Wen couldn't be sure.
And this seemed to be just the beginning of the nightmare. In the next few days, it was obvious that the entire Zhang family was in a state of tension. People kept leaving the Treasury Preceptor, most likely rushing to the Fiend Tomb.
"Yuzhi, how's the situation with the Fiend Tomb?" Zhou Wen couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhang Yuzhi again.
"The situation is very bad. Since the day before yesterday, there have been people attempting to jump into the Fiend Tomb every day. Although they were all saved in the end, this situation is becoming more and more frequent. We can't find the reason, nor can we ask anything. If they couldn't find the reason, they would be in big trouble.
"Have you tried shattering the face on the Fiend Stone?" Zhou Wen asked.
"It's useless. It will grow back even if it's shattered. Furthermore, after the Fiend Stone shatters, stone faces will grow in other places. Now, there are seven stone faces in the Fiend Tomb.
Zhou Wen knew that the Zhang family was really in trouble this time. If he couldn't resolve it, people would constantly want to jump down. In the end, the entire Zhang family might be wiped out.
"Can you tell me what's going on with the Fiend Tomb? If it's not convenient, forget it, "Zhou Wen asked.
Zhang Yuzhi hesitated for a moment before whispering to Zhou Wen, "I'll tell you about this, but don't tell anyone. Legend has it that our Zhang family's ancestor was buried in a Fengshui Treasure Cave. With the help of the Fengshui Treasure Cave, we produced a Celestial Master. Actually, that's not the case. Our Zhang family found a Fengshui Tomb, but we didn't find it to bury ourselves inside, but to prevent the things inside from coming out. "
"What do you mean? Do you mean that someone was already buried there? "Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement.
"To be precise, it's not a person, but a Ba," Zhang Yuzhi said.
"Ba? Is it a type of zombie? " Zhou Wen seemed to have heard of such a monster, but he didn't know much about it. He felt that it was related to zombies.
"Most people often confuse Ba with zombies. In fact, the two aren't the same thing. In myths, Ba is a goddess from the heavens. She descended to the mortal world to help the Yellow Emperor defeat Chiyou. However, because her divine powers were exhausted, she was unable to return to the heavens. Therefore, she could only sleep underground, waiting for the day she recovered her divine powers and returned to the heavens."
Zhang Yuzhi paused for a moment before continuing, "Back then, Ba descended to the mortal world to deal with the Count of Wind and Master of Rain. Even the Tempest seemed to be incinerated in front of Ba. Even the combined forces of the Count of Wind and Master of Rain were no match for Ba. From this, it can be seen how powerful her divine powers are. Ba hibernates underground. Once her divine powers recover, she wakes up from her slumber. Or perhaps someone disturbs her and causes her to wake up. Her divine powers will spread out, causing the land to be dry and barren for thousands of kilometers. Therefore, she's also known as Drought Ba. She's an extremely terrifying existence.
"Back then, my ancestor discovered that the sleeping Ba underground was about to awaken. That's why he stood guard there to prevent Ba from appearing. People mistakenly thought that he had found a Fengshui Treasure Cave. All these years, our Zhang family has been guarding the Fiend Tomb to prevent Ba from coming out. However, with the arrival of the dimensional storms, the power in the Fiend Tomb is becoming stronger and stronger. Even we don't know how long our Zhang family can guard it. It's only a matter of time before we crack the seal. "
"It existed in the world before the dimensional storms. Is there really a creature like Ba?" Zhou Wen was somewhat shocked.
After the dimensional storms, it wasn't surprising for any creature to appear. However, before the dimensional storms, in ancient times, the Zhang family had already begun guarding Ba. This was truly surprising.
"I don't know if there really is a Ba, but there's definitely something unbelievable in the Fiend Tomb. Over the years, strange things have frequently happened in the Fiend Tomb. If not for my Zhang family's desperate defense, I'm afraid the area around Mount Dragon Tiger would have long been plunged into misery and suffering," Zhang Yuzhi said.
With that said, Zhang Yuzhi stood up and prepared to leave. "I have to go out for the next few days. When I'm not in Celestial Master Manor, don't walk around casually to prevent others from misunderstanding."
"Where are you going?" Zhou Wen was puzzled as to why Zhang Yuzhi was going out at this time.
The Fiend Tomb was already extremely dangerous. Logically speaking, Zhang Yuzhi should have stayed in Celestial Master Manor to help.
"I want to kill dimensional creatures with my brothers," Zhang Yuzhi said.
Zhou Wen recalled the matter regarding Zhang Yuzhi's Life Providence and said to her, "Actually, I have a golden apple that can change a person's Life Providence without any side effects. Do you want to give it a try?"
Zhang Yuzhi was first delighted, but she shook her head and said, "There's no need. With how useless I am, this is all I can do to help everyone now."
