Considering that these were all her martial uncle's private affairs, Gu Ningyun thought it over and ultimately said nothing.
Su Jiu and Yun Huanling did have a certain rapport. Working together, they opened a small gap in the formation, just large enough for one person to pass through.
"Hurry. This gap won't hold for long before it closes on its own. We'll have to open it again then."
Soon, all five slipped into the formation shrouding the tomb.
Only once they were inside did they clearly feel just how dense the yin qi emanating from the great tomb truly was.
Su Jiu's brows drew together slightly.
Gu Ningyun walked back to the stone stele. "Somehow, this stele looks different from what we saw earlier."
"Of course it looks different from inside the formation than it does from outside. An ordinary cultivator standing outside the formation can't sense the qi on the stele at all. But inside, even a Qi Refining cultivator can feel the powerful yin qi emanating from it.
"And this stele is precisely the entrance to the tomb."
As Yun Huanling spoke, he pushed the stone stele aside with one hand. It revealed a pitch-black opening, like a bottomless abyss, with terrifying yin qi pouring out from within, as though it were a gateway to hell.
Yun Chao said, "But I clearly tried moving the gravestone earlier too..."
Su Jiu patted Yun Chao's shoulder. "Both the qi here and the stele have one thing in common: you have to enter the formation first before you can discover their mysteries."
As she spoke, Su Jiu was the first to slip into the opening. Yun Huanling, Feng Qi, and Yun Chao followed close behind.
Upon reaching this point, Gu Ningyun hesitated. She was not afraid of the bottomless black hole,
