Chapter 539 Entering the Cemetery
The auction house was well-prepared, and the items being auctioned included things that the people present needed. Thanks to Lin Zhao, they saved a lot of money, so the group decided to have a celebratory meal, which could also be considered a pre-entry gathering before entering the ancient tomb.

This meal allowed Lin Zhao to get to know these nine people better.

The Mo siblings, Mo Xiuhan and Mo Xiuya, were respectively the strongest in the Immortal Sect at the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation stages, with Mo Xiuhan at the Great Perfection of the Integration Stage and Mo Xiuya at the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Stage. Before Ning Wengui and her arrival, they were respectively the strongest in the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation Stages of the Immortal Sect.

The remaining couple is Tian Mengyao and Xu Wei. Both of them are at the Great Perfection of the Integration Stage. It is said that they came from a fallen dynasty, and their family background is unknown, but their talents are exceptional.

Then there's Zhou Mingyang, the chatterbox, who's also at the Great Perfection of the Integration Stage.

The remaining three cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are named Lü Qing, He Jiugao, and Nan Ci. Among them, Nan Ci is an assistant alchemist, while Lü Qing and He Jiugao are both sword cultivators.

After familiarizing himself with the personnel configuration, Lin Zhao had a general idea of ​​the situation.

When she met the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation stage disciples of other forces under the Five Masters of the Ancestral Dragon, Lin Zhao was finally able to confirm that the rising power of the Ancestral Dragon Plane was indeed inferior to that of the Ancestral Phoenix Plane.

No wonder Elder Baihe showed no fear when he talked about the Ancestral Dragon Plane.

The Ancestral Phoenix Plane is far stronger than the new generation. Even without him, Ji Wantang could lead the next generation of powerhouses in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane to defeat them with a complete crushing victory.

Lin Zhao's mind raced with thoughts, but his expression remained impassive.

She just didn't expect that before she could even say that these Nascent Soul cultivators were a bit weak, the powerful figures from the Flood Dragon Clan and the Imperial Dynasty would take offense at her.

"Since when can someone in the early stages of the Fusion Realm participate in an operation that is usually only for those at the Great Perfection of the Fusion Realm? Is there no one left in the Immortal Sect?" The leader of the Flood Dragon Clan glanced at Lin Zhao with sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Black Dragon Clan frowned and moved a little further away from him.

Lin Zhao ignored him.

The leader of the Jiaolong Clan was used to having the final say in the clan, and this was the first time he had been ignored like this by someone in the early stage of the Fusion Realm. He immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Zhao.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!"

He reached out and grabbed at Lin Zhao.

Previously, he had only made sarcastic remarks, which Mo Xiuhan could ignore, but now that he was about to take action, Mo Xiuhan could no longer stand idly by.
After all, the Immortal Sect is the strongest in terms of reputation, and he himself currently believes that he is the strongest among the people from the Immortal Sect. For this reason alone, he cannot allow people from other forces to bully the people of the Immortal Sect.

So, the moment the leader of the Jiaolong clan made his move, he raised his hand and grabbed the other's wrist: "Brother Jiao, this is someone the leader has his eye on. You should think carefully."

He was clever; he directly invoked the leader's authority, and few dared to act rashly in the face of the leader's majesty.

However, this does not include the leader of the Jiaolong clan. Their Jiaolong clan has been on good terms with the Black Dragon clan for many years, and with the Black Lord and the Jiaolong Lord backing them up, he is not afraid of the Jiaolong Lord's wrath.

So when he was stopped, he glared at Lin Zhao and withdrew his hand, still not with a friendly expression.

"Who do we have here? I heard that the leader brought someone back. He's clearly not from the Immortal Sect, yet he took up one of their spots to go to the cemetery. I guess it's this shameless early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in front of us?"

Lin Zhao crossed her arms and didn't bother to say a word.

Ning Wengui frowned, about to speak, but was interrupted by Mo Xiuhan: "Senior Brother Ning, what Brother Jiao said is also true. It is indeed not appropriate for Miss Lin to enter this operation as a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."

Ning Wengui's gaze darkened, and after Mo Xiuhan spoke, he asked, "Don't you know that Lin Zhao defeated Gu Qing and the other three Great Perfection Stage cultivators all by himself? Or are you pretending not to know?" Mo Xiuhan froze.

Upon hearing Ning Wengui's words, the dragon clan leader who had been mocking Lin Zhao began to look at Lin Zhao with a change in his gaze.

They had heard of Gu Qing's reputation and naturally knew who the three Great Perfection Stage cultivators were by Gu Qing's side.

If Lin Zhao defeats these four people, then he is indeed qualified to participate in this operation.

The leader of the Jiaolong clan toned down his contemptuous expression, but finally said defiantly, "I hope they really have real skills, and not climbed up through some underhanded means."

Ning Wengui shifted his gaze, and for a moment the leader of the Jiaolong clan felt as if the other party was looking at a dead man.

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "No matter what, once we enter the tomb, we'll each have to rely on our own abilities. After all, it's normal for a few Great Perfection Stage cultivators to die in this tomb."

She seemed to say nothing, yet it was as if she had uttered the harshest words in the face of the dragon clan leader.

The leader of the dragon clan's face darkened: "Are you threatening me? How dare you!"

Lin Zhao met his gloomy gaze and replied with a helpless tone, "If that's how you see it, then it's a threat. If you're going to be foul-mouthed, you should be prepared to be foul-mouthed in return."

The leader of the Flood Dragon Clan gave a stiff twitch of his lips: "Fine, what audacity. But you're right, the graveyard is so dangerous that even a Great Perfection Stage cultivator has a slim chance of survival. It's not surprising that an early-stage cultivator would die, is it?"

Before we even went inside, the air was already thick with the smoke of battle.

Hearing the words of the dragon clan leader, Mo Xiuhan frowned, but still stood in front of Lin Zhao, blocking his view.

It wasn't that he really wanted to stand on Lin Zhao's side, but at this moment, not standing on Lin Zhao's side would be tantamount to abandoning a member of the group.

Regardless of his hostility and resentment towards Lin Zhao, he still sided with her in this matter of life and death.

The leader of the Jiaolong clan noticed his behavior, licked his itchy teeth, and tilted his head: "The immortal sects are as united as ever. You even protect outsiders who forcibly intrude like treasures. But... be careful you don't lose your life if you can't protect her."

Ning Wengui lowered his eyes: "You don't need to worry about that."

The leader of the Jiaolong clan gave Lin Zhao one last deep look before walking to his own area.

After hearing the dispute, the leaders of the Black Dragon Clan, the Imperial Dynasty, and the independent cultivators exchanged glances but said nothing. Only the leader of the Imperial Dynasty gave Lin Zhao a meaningful look before walking to his position.

The other two went straight to their seats.

After letting them finish arguing, the elders who had just opened the entrance to the tomb saw that everyone had returned to their places and then spoke up: "Now that you're all here, let's open the tomb gate. Note that this tomb will only be open for seven days. If you can't get out within seven days, you'll have to wait until the tomb reopens in three thousand years to have a chance to come out."

After explaining some simple rules, the cemetery gate slowly opened, revealing a misty entrance.

Lin Zhao looked over and made up her mind.

Is this the tomb that buries thousands of people who have reached the Tribulation stage in the ancient times of the Ancestral Dragon Plane?
More than the tomb itself, Lin Zhao wanted to know why thousands of Tribulation Transcending stage cultivators were buried here. Did they choose to be buried here, or... were thousands of Tribulation Transcending stage experts killed here together?

With this question in mind, Lin Zhao followed the Immortal Sect's group into this ancient remnant land, which had been sealed off by powerful figures from the Ancestral Dragon Plane and opened only once every three thousand years.
