An Unexpected Windfall

Coming to his senses, Yin Yunze realized that he seemed to know the whole story.

The whole affair may have originated from the greed of a tomb raider who wanted to enter the royal tomb to steal treasures, but unintentionally awakened Prince Jing, who was about to become Drought Demon. Just when it seemed that the world was about to be plunged into chaos, coincidentally, a cultivator passed by. Seeing the Drought Demon's birth, he attempted to subdue the demon.

The numerous lightning strike marks scattered throughout the Tomb of Prince Jing area were the means by which this cultivator attempted to kill Prince Jing.

However, the Drought Demon wasn't stupid; seeing that things were going badly, it retreated back into the royal tomb to avoid the lightning.

Ultimately, the cultivators, determined to eradicate evil completely, ventured into the royal tomb to attempt to kill Prince Jing, only to perish together with him.

Based on all the known information, Yin Yunze deduced a logically consistent conclusion.

However, after reaching this conclusion, Yin Yunze suddenly felt that something was not right.

As a dry wind blew by, Yin Yunze suddenly realized what was wrong!

If Prince Jing really perished together with this cultivator, then why has this place been in drought for so long?

Moreover, could the vital point of Prince Jing, a corpse, or a Drought Demon, be its heart?

When this thought came to mind, Yin Yunze's heart suddenly began to pound violently.

Yin Yunze suddenly noticed that although Prince Jing's eyes were still lifeless, they seemed to be looking in Yin Yunze's direction.

The white-robed immortal, who seemed to be dead beyond any doubt, turned his head at a noticeable angle, as if preparing to look back.

"Damn it! Empiricism is a killer! And nobody says that getting stabbed through the heart always means mutual death!"

Upon discovering this, several thoughts raced through his mind. Regardless of whether it was his imagination or not, Yin Yunze severed his connection with the earth's veins without saying a word.

Then, he turned around and ran away!

These two are either cultivators who can unleash a day's worth of thunder, or drought demons that have been nurtured for hundreds of years and yet have not been born, causing Drought Demon for more than half a year.

Clearly, none of these are things that Yin Yunze, a half-baked Land God who hasn't even finished setting up the temple's golden statue, could possibly pull off.

Whether they are still alive or not quite dead, being noticed by them is definitely not good news for Yin Yunze.

Without caring about wasting time, Yin Yunze directly used the Power of Incense Offerings to help Zhao Wan's short legs escape.

Gone was the caution he had shown on the way here; Yin Yunze had been recklessly charging through everything in his path. Even when he encountered evil spirits reduced to bones, he didn't hesitate to stomp on them without a second thought.

Compared to the two deities in Tomb of Prince Jing, these minor evil spirits, killed by the aftershocks, are not worth worrying about.

With the Power of Incense Offerings, even Zhao Wan's short legs could easily shatter it with a single step.

Just as he was crushing several evil skeletons, a dark object suddenly flew in front of Yin Yunze.

For some reason, before Yin Yunze could even react, his hand involuntarily grabbed the object.

After all, he was running for his life and didn't have time to think too much. Yin Yunze grabbed the black object and continued running wildly.

In the blink of an eye, Yin Yunze ran from the entrance of the robbery hole all the way back to where he got off the car.

Once they reached the main road, Yin Yunze finally relaxed.

Turning his head to look, and seeing that the two hadn't climbed up from underground, Yin Yunze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Standing by the roadside, Yin Yunze took a while to catch his breath before recovering from the extreme trembling.

I was really scared just now, but now that I've calmed down and thought about it, regardless of whether the two people in Tomb of Prince Jing are dead or alive, it's safe to say that they most likely won't be able to get out anytime soon.

Otherwise, after eight or nine months, is it really so comfortable to stay inside Tomb of Prince Jing?

If we exclude the possibility that they don't want to come out, it's clear that they are in a situation where they are mutually restrained and cannot come out for the time being.

This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Once he truly relaxed, Yin Yunze naturally noticed the black object he was holding in his hand.

The thought that it had sprung from the remains of an evil spirit made Yin Yunze instinctively want to throw it away. However, the faint glow emanating from the object made Yin Yunze immediately abandon the idea.

Upon closer inspection, Yin Yunze discovered that it was actually a command flag about the size of an adult's palm, with intricate patterns.

The flag is made of a material that resembles cloth or silk, yet it is exceptionally tough. It is entirely black, and a faint glow occasionally emanates from its surface, indicating that this command flag is extraordinary.

Although it looked pitch black, Yin Yunze did not sense Evil Qi; instead, he felt a strange sense of righteousness.

After thinking for a moment, Yin Yunze tried to infuse the Power of Incense Offerings to experiment.

Unexpectedly, with a snap, a spark of electricity flashed across the command flag. It not only deflected Yin Yunze's Power of Incense Offerings but also struck Yin Yunze.

Along with a tingling sensation, Yin Yunze's hair, which had fallen down due to running, stood up again.

"My darling!"

However, Yin Yunze was overjoyed by this situation.

Judging from the fact that this electric arc and the residual exorcising Power of Lightning around the Tomb of Prince Jing share the same origin, it is clear that the command flag that Yin Yunze picked up was one of the Law Treasure used by that cultivator when he unleashed the lightning that day.

Perhaps it was because bringing it into Tomb of Prince Jing wouldn't work, or perhaps it was simply placed outside to prevent Prince Jing from escaping.

However, with that cultivator trapped in Tomb of Prince Jing, the command flag became ownerless.

The fact that the command flag was found under the body of an evil spirit led Yin Yunze to another conclusion.

Could the cause of death for those evil spirits be that people die for wealth, or birds die for food?

To be honest, Yin Yunze has an urge right now to go back and dig three feet into the ground to clean him up.

Even though Yin Yunze wasn't very familiar with the regulations for these Law Treasure, Yin Yunze knew that Law Treasure like command flags were usually not single items, but rather part of a set.

It's hard to say how many sets are needed. But if you don't collect a complete set, the effect of a single club will be greatly reduced.

However, after thinking it over, Yin Yunze managed to resist this greed.

It was already lucky that he managed to get this command flag on his first escape attempt. If he truly intended to collect the entire set, wouldn't those evil spirit skeletons be prime examples right before Yin Yunze's eyes?

What if that cultivator saw Yin Yunze preparing to steal his Law Treasure and couldn't resist jumping out of the Tomb of Prince Jing?

Then Yin Yunze will probably die in a very rhythmic way.

Let's know when to stop!

Thinking this way, Yin Yunze, though he really wanted to play with it, directly sent the command flag into the real world.

Firstly, this command flag is unusable for the time being, and keeping it in front of us will only breed greed. Secondly, if the command flag had any location-tracking function, it could also sever this connection in the real world.

They can't possibly chase them into the real world, can they?

Although he was certain that there was no danger, Yin Yunze did not stay where he was and continued on his way to the county town.

But when he walked on the road again, Yin Yunze's steps were much lighter.

Although there were some twists and turns, it was a close call. Not only did they find out the situation, but they also obtained the precious command flag thanks to that divine intervention.

Although the two people in Tomb of Prince Jing were not completely dead, Yin Yunze still felt deeply uneasy.

Regardless of the circumstances, Yin Yunze's exploration trip was a resounding success!

He was walking along the road in a cheerful mood, but soon, after walking for a while, Yin Yunze's happiness waned.

Not being in Clear Creek Village, Yin Yunze couldn't use the Earth Vein Power Earth Escape and had to walk. And just to get somewhere, Yin Yunze really didn't want to waste the Power of Incense Offerings.

As a result, Yin Yunze couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known there was nothing wrong, he wouldn't have let Song Ran leave so early.

Looking around, Yin Yunze found that there were hardly any pedestrians on the road, and he couldn't even get a ride.

With a helpless sigh, Yin Yunze could only continue walking.

After walking for half an hour or an hour, Yin Yunze saw a person approaching from a distance.

To be precise, it should be one person and one dog.

The man was an elderly man who looked to be in his fifties, with an ordinary face, but he gave Yin Yunze a strange sense of familiarity. Unlike the other elderly people of the same age he had met along the way, this man's face did not show the vicissitudes of a hard life; instead, it was rosy and full.

Beside the old man was an orange-red dog?

To be honest, this was the first time Yin Yunze had ever seen an orange-red dog.

Such a rare color made Yin Yunze take a few more glances at it.

However, as he got closer, Yin Yunze realized that it wasn't a dog at all, but a large, bright orange fox.
