The two Devil Cultivator didn't walk fast; they even had the leisure to chat.
One of the slightly overweight Devil Cultivator showed a hint of impatience on his face and said, "We spend all day guarding this godforsaken place, only to end up doing nothing. I've had enough of this kind of Laozi."
The other Devil Cultivator's expression hardened, and he hurriedly said, "You can't say things like that. If the Lord hears us, will we still be able to save our lives?"
As he spoke, the Devil Cultivator seemed to realize that no one was around, sighed, and said, "But then again, these days are really stifling. We can't do anything. Even if the Emperor's Tomb is really here, once Emperor's Tomb, not only will we not benefit from it, but we might also have to risk our lives with those self-righteous Daoist cultivators. It's really not worth it."
Yang Zhen and the others exchanged bewildered glances. This was the first time they had ever seen Devil Cultivator so passively waiting for orders. It was clear that the saying "a monk rings the bell for a day, but he doesn't actually do anything" was indeed a metaphor; every profession had such people who just loafed around and waited to die.
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable snorted softly, seemingly lost in thought. He had no liking for Devil Cultivator whatsoever. If Yang Zhen hadn't stopped him, he might have actually gone out and slaughtered them.
However, there are simply too many Devil Cultivator here. Even if they just stand there and let the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable kill them, the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable would probably have to kill them until Chen Xiaotian and Shuya return.
At this moment, the slightly fat Devil Cultivator snorted coldly and said, "Who says otherwise? You and I are both Saint Venerable Realm experts. With this level of cultivation, we can walk around with impunity wherever we go in the Main Realm. Isn't it better to travel freely and happily than to wait to die in this deep mountain forest?"
"Alright!"
Another Devil Cultivator said impatiently, "Complaining is one thing, but the Lord repeatedly warned us not to let anyone approach the valley ahead. It's just our bad luck. Let's hurry and see if those two bastards have gone in, so we can go back and report as soon as possible."
Underground, the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable looked at Yang Zhen with a face full of surprise. Yang Zhen revealed a smug expression and winked at the Shameless Cat.
The Shameless Cat pouted and muttered, "Next time I bet you, I won't call myself Harry Potter Extra Big!"
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What do you mean by ' Harry Potter Extra Big '?"
"It's a popular nickname, don't worry about it!"
Yang Zhen waved his hand, signaling the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable to be quiet.
"Kid, what are you waiting for? Now that we know the Emperor's Tomb is just ahead, let's hurry up and snatch it!" the Shameless Cat urged impatiently.
Yang Zhen glared at him and said, "I really don't know how you've lived for so many years. If there's nothing strange about this place, why would the Devil Cultivator be guarding such a far place?"
Just then, a mournful sound, like the wailing of ghosts and wolves, came from behind. Even Yang Zhen, who was usually very brave, was so frightened that he got goosebumps all over.
The mournful sound, as faint as the wind, like the whispers of a demon from the Nine Netherworlds, caused everyone to feel the temperature drop significantly in an instant, and they all shivered.
The Shameless Cat let out a loud yelp and jumped onto Yang Zhen's shoulder, staring at its surroundings and saying, "What the hell is that?"
Yang Zhen and the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes.
There was a strange aura in the valley, and the two of them couldn't figure out what it was.
After all, it's the Devil Emperor 'Emperor's Tomb, so it's normal for it to be dangerous. Otherwise, it would probably have been dug up by Devil Venerable Shuya and Venerable Lord Chen Xiaotian long ago. Why would they wait for the Emperor's Tomb to erupt?
Just as the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable was about to speak, Yang Zhen stopped him, and they immediately heard the conversation between the two Devil Cultivator outside.
"Every time I come here, I get a chill down my spine. I really don't know why someone would choose such a horrifying place to perish. Is this really, as the rumors say, Land of Heavenly Burial?"
Land of Heavenly Burial?
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen's face showed a strange expression. He turned to look at the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable and the Shameless Cat, and was immediately taken aback.
The two men looked rather grim, especially the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable, who almost grabbed Yang Zhen and tried to leave.
Yang Zhen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything special about the Land of Heavenly Burial?"
The Shameless Cat patted Yang Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Kid, let's go back. These bastards dare to come to the Land of Heavenly Burial; they're just too much."
Yang Zhen gasped. Even the Shameless Cat said so, which clearly meant that this Land of Heavenly Burial was no ordinary place.
For some reason, Yang Zhen's curiosity grew stronger, as if there was something interesting inside.
A child who sees toys is not to be trifled with!
Seeing the expression on Yang Zhen's face, the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable said in a deep voice, "Boy, the Land of Heavenly Burial is no ordinary forbidden area. It is said that that person died in the Land of Heavenly Burial, but I never expected that the Land of Heavenly Burial would appear here."
"That guy who slew three hundred and sixty Heavenly Tribulation?" Yang Zhen was taken aback, not expecting to hear about that person again.
Yang Zhen had always felt that guy was a mysterious person who was hard to fathom. It seemed that he was everywhere, yet he was only at the Saint Realm and had not yet broken through to the Emperor Realm.
This shouldn't be happening. So many Emperor Realm experts haven't jumped out like this. Just who is this guy?
Even the Shameless Cat and the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable looked solemn at the Land of Heavenly Burial. What was he doing here?
Do you do square dancing?
At this moment, the Devil Cultivator above suddenly said, "If this really is the Land of Heavenly Burial, then none of us will be able to return alive."
"The Lord said that even in the Land of Heavenly Burial, with the Emperor's Tomb present, there is still a chance of survival. As long as we wait for the right opportunity to enter, there will be no problem at all."
You believe that?
"So what if you don't believe me? The Lord isn't here now, do you dare leave?"
"Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Seeing that the two were drifting further and further off-topic, Yang Zhen leaped up behind them and asked, "Excuse me, fellow villagers, could you please tell me the way?"
The two were terrified. With a casual wave of their hands, a terrifying demonic aura swept over and enveloped Yang Zhen in the blink of an eye.
However, the screams they expected did not come; instead, they looked up in horror.
Suddenly, a large dome appeared in mid-air, enveloping the two of them.
Yang Zhen had disappeared, but the protective barrier was getting smaller and smaller. No matter how the two attacked it, not a sound came out.
Only when the two stopped as if their lives were hanging by a thread, and coldly stared at Yang Zhen outside the enclosure, did Yang Zhen grin and disappear again.
When Yang Zhen reappeared in front of them, their expressions relaxed considerably.
We can't win anyway!
"Where is this place?" Yang Zhen asked.
The two men looked at each other, and before they could speak, Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Believe me, I, Ye Liangchen, have a hundred ways to make you tell the Mantra, it's just that some of them won't be very pleasant. But I, Ye Liangchen, am a kind person, so... you know what to say."
"This is the Land of Heavenly Burial!" The slightly overweight Devil Cultivator took a deep breath and stared at Yang Zhen as he spoke.
"When will the Emperor's Tomb erupt?" Yang Zhen asked, staring into their eyes.
The two Devil Cultivator, who had just resigned themselves to their fate, suddenly grinned and silently said to Yang Zhen in a sinister tone, "Die!"
Yang Zhen's expression changed, and he slapped the two Devil Cultivator.
boom--!
The ground shook violently, and the entire valley seemed to tremble.
No one expected that the two Devil Cultivator would self-destruct after a mere disagreement.
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable and the Shameless Cat beside them changed their expressions drastically and hurriedly rushed into the canyon.
"Don't come any closer!"
Just as Yang Zhen's voice rang out, a buzzing sound, like the Heaven and Earth Embryonic Breathing, came from within the canyon, and a blood moon slowly rose.
