"Third Master, who is this young man? His ability to probe the hole with two fingers just now is something that ordinary people couldn't do, right?" Pan Zi asked curiously.

"I don't know either, I only know that you're a master in the underworld," Wu Sansheng said, shaking his head.

Wu Xie can now use his divine sense, but the range is limited.

Currently, his divine sense can only extend to a radius of three zhang outside his body.

His internal energy cultivation technique was constantly circulating, and his dark vision allowed him to ignore the dark environment.

At the Seven Star Coffins site, Wu Xie used his divine sense to scan the seven coffins and discovered Fatty's trace among them.

Uncle San was still explaining the Seven Star Coffin, while Da Kui and Pan Zi listened in a daze.

Zhang Qiling seemed very familiar with the environment inside.

Wu Xie pushed open the coffin lid, and inside, Fatty was holding a skeleton.

"Get up, Fatty. When did you arrive? How many of those foreigners came?" Wu Xie asked Fatty.

Wu Xie was thinking that Fatty, Xiao Ge, and himself—the future tomb-raiding trio was now assembled.

"Little naiveté, those foreigners are all carrying weapons, be careful," Fatty warned Wu Xie.

The Seven Star Coffins are arranged in the shape of the seven stars, and there are traps and mechanisms inside. Wu Xie's eyes were locked on the one with the heaviest yin energy.

"Nephew, this Seven Star Suspicious Coffin is no ordinary object. You must not act rashly." Seeing Wu Xie's expression, Wu Sansheng reminded him from the side.

Wu Xie nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped closer to the coffin with the heaviest yin energy.

The power of the cultivation technique adhered to his hand. Wu Xie looked at the coffin in front of him and raised his hand to reach out.

Suddenly, just as Wu Xie was about to reach out and touch the coffin lid, he felt a powerful aura emanating from the coffin.

Wu Xie was startled and quickly took a few steps back.

At the same time, he shouted to Wu Sansheng, "Third Uncle, be careful!"

Just then, Zhang Qiling stepped forward and whispered, "There's something strange about this coffin. Be careful!"

Wu Sansheng and Pan Zi also gathered around with serious expressions.

Wu Xie steadied himself and used his divine sense to scan the coffin again, but this time he encountered an obstacle.

There seemed to be a mysterious force preventing him from exploring.

"Third Uncle, my divine sense probe was blocked. There should be a rare treasure inside," Wu Xie said to Wu Sansheng.

"Nephew, is this the Lu Shang King you just mentioned?" Uncle San asked.

Wu Xie nodded. Anything capable of blocking spiritual detection must be an extraordinary magical artifact or magical weapon.

At this moment, Mao Xiaofang in the group sent a reminder to Wu Xie.

Mao Xiaofang: "Wu Xie, try using the Evil-Slaying Talisman. It's more effective at breaking through Yin energy."

Seeing Mao Xiaofang's reminder in the chat group, Wu Xie quickly took out two or three exorcising talismans and stuck them on the coffin lid.

As golden light flashed from the talisman, the exorcising talisman disappeared directly into the coffin.

The runes on the coffin shimmered with light, echoing the golden glow of the exorcising talisman.

Suddenly, a low, guttural sound came from inside the coffin, as if something was struggling.

Everyone stared warily at the coffin, not daring to breathe.

Wu Xie gripped the small black and gold dagger tightly in his hand, preparing to deal with any potential dangers.

However, after a short while, the noise from inside the coffin gradually disappeared.

The light of the exorcising talisman gradually dimmed.

"It seems to have calmed down..." Wu Xie said softly to everyone, watching the coffin slowly fall silent.

For safety's sake, Wu Xie then affixed two more exorcising talismans to the coffin.

There was no response from inside the coffin at this point.

"Better safe than sorry, let me open the coffin!" Zhang Qiling stepped forward, grasped the coffin lid with both hands, and slowly pushed it open.

As the coffin lid moved, a musty smell wafted out, mixed with residual yin energy and foul odor.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw a shriveled corpse lying inside the coffin, completely naked.

Wu Xie, who had seen the video, knew that he had been pulled out of the jade burial suit by Tie Miansheng, but he never expected it to be so tragic.

The surrounding area was filled with various precious burial objects.

This scene, combined with King Lu Shang's completely naked appearance, created a sense of incongruity.

“This is King Lu Shang…” Wu Sansheng stared at the withered corpse in front of him, lost in thought.

Wu Xie used his divine sense to carefully scan the items inside the coffin, trying to find the rare treasure that had caught his attention.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a piece of jade in the corpse's mouth.

“That is…” Wu Xie’s heart stirred. He was about to step forward to check the situation when Zhang Qiling stopped him.

"Wait, don't move!" Zhang Qiling stared at the mummified corpse warily for a while.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie took out more than a dozen exorcising talismans and threw them in. The still-disguised dried corpse suddenly sprang up.

The evil-slaying talisman was ignited by the power of the evil spirit, and Zhang Qiling immediately drew his Black Gold Ancient Blade and stabbed it into the mouth of the opponent.

Zhang Qiling was about to destroy the jade pendant, which was the one providing power to the mummified corpse.

"Nephew, be careful. This mummified corpse has grown red hair. Red-haired zombies are extremely difficult to deal with," Wu Sansheng warned from the side.

Zhang Qiling gripped the Black Gold Ancient Blade and pierced the mummified corpse's mouth with pinpoint accuracy, instantly splitting the jade in two.

The mummified corpse, having lost its strength, collapsed to the ground and turned to dust right before everyone's eyes.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Xie quickly stepped forward to examine the jade.

The practice of placing jade in the body is an ancient burial ritual. It is said that warm jade nourishes the body, while cold jade nourishes the corpse.

Cold jade, also known as jade-holding jade, is said to preserve a corpse for a thousand years if held in the mouth.

Wu Xie discovered that the jade contained energy, and although it was broken, it still emitted a faint light.

“Third Uncle, this jade is indeed strange,” Wu Xie said to Wu Sansheng.

"Nephew, have you found anything?" Wu Sansheng stepped forward and asked.

“Third Uncle, look at the patterns on this jade. These are the patterns of a divine prohibition talisman, mainly to prevent the spirit of a corpse from awakening.” Wu Xie pointed to the cold jade and explained to Wu Sansheng.

"Nephew, where did you learn all this from?" Wu Sansheng frowned.

"That senior told me that ordinary jade cannot contain divine restriction runes. This is a method needed to refine corpse puppets," Wu Xie said slowly. "Divine restriction runes can prevent the corpse from awakening its spirit. This is to better control the corpse puppet. This method can make the dead eternal damnation. It not only isolates the five senses of the dead, but also seals the soul in the body, which is equivalent to being locked in a dark room for thousands of years."

After saying that, he carefully picked up the jade fragment and put it into his backpack.

At this moment, the entire tomb was eerily quiet, as if the fierce battle that had just taken place had never happened.

"Let's get out of here quickly," Wu Sansheng suggested.

Zhang Qiling nodded: "This place is not safe to stay for long."

The group continued along the tomb passage, their hearts filled with anticipation and nervousness.

They had no idea what challenges and surprises awaited them ahead, except for Wu Xie.

He's now the man who holds the script.

They hadn't walked far when they heard gunshots.

Only foreigners carry firearms.

Wu Xie thought of A Ning, so he quickened his pace.

Zhang Qiling also avoided his third uncle and the others, preparing to do his own thing.

After the two left, Uncle Three and Fatty looked at each other in bewilderment.

Aning is one of Jude Kao's people. Although she is not a great villain, she is definitely not a good person.

Those who can do digging and tomb raiding are definitely not good people.

Wu Xie secretly observed A Ning; along the way, several of her subordinates had already fallen.

Wu Xie felt no pity for the foreigners who trespassed into China to rob tombs.

Even watching them die before his eyes didn't stir much emotion in him; at most, he'd sigh, "They deserved it!"

Chapter 690, The Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress, the Ghost Seal! (Please subscribe!)

Thinking about the scenes and ending in the video, Wu Xie made up his mind that he would never let tragedy happen to him.

Wu Xie followed them all the way, watching them being killed one by one by corpse beetles, poisonous insects, and traps.

Soon, only Aning was left in the team.

Wu Xie sensed an unusual aura, which he determined must be from the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress.

Aning, who was fleeing in a disheveled state, was soon entangled by the vines of the Hydra Cypress and pulled into the core area of ​​the cemetery.

Seeing this, Wu Xie finally took action.

He brandished the small black and gold dagger, creating a crescent-shaped gray blade of energy.

The air blades struck the vines, instantly severing them.

The broken vines, like long snakes, were still writhing even after death.

"Hello, my name is Wu Xie!" Wu Xie looked A Ning up and down and spoke first.

"Thank you!" A Ning broke free of her restraints and began to sized up Wu Xie.

Seeing Wu Xie's harmless appearance made her feel a little more at ease.

"The world inside this tomb is treacherous and fraught with danger. You shouldn't have come in. Don't ever raid tombs again. No one who raids tombs ever comes to a good end," Wu Xie said to A Ning.

“We’re not tomb raiders, we just came in looking for something important,” Aning retorted.

Wu Xie sighed and said, "You want to find clues about immortality, right? Trying to find immortality in a tomb is like trying to catch the moon's reflection in a well."

"Do you know the secret to immortality?" Ah Ning asked curiously after hearing Wu Xie's words.

Just as Wu Xie was about to say something, the vines of the Nine-Headed Cypress suddenly attacked, targeting the two of them.

Wu Xie swung his sword twice to the side, his internal magic power flowing and transforming into a fierce attack.

Ah Ning stared blankly at the scene, feeling as if her worldview had shattered.

"Don't be surprised, these are just some minor tricks." Wu Xie said calmly, looking at the surprised A Ning.

"Mine tricks? Do I look like a fool to you?" A Ning looked at Wu Xie speechlessly.

"If you don't want to die, come with me!" Wu Xie chased after the retracting vines and entered the main tomb chamber.

A giant cypress tree grows in the tomb, its roots firmly planted in the ground, with countless vines swaying wildly on it, just like a real snake.

The corpses were hung upside down by it, and the fine branches turned them into cocoons, which became nutrients for its growth.

The moment he saw it, the scene from the video flashed through Wu Xie's mind again.

The vines of the Hydra Cypress were still waving and reaching into the holes, searching for their prey.

"Nephew!"

"Young Master San!"

As Wu Sansheng and Pan Zi's voices came, the vines of the Nine-Headed Cypress immediately rushed towards the source of the voices.

Wu Xie gripped the dagger, leaped up, jumped onto the vine, and slashed it off with a single stroke.

Beneath the hydra cypress tree, there was a stone platform upon which lay the corpses of a man and a woman.

The male corpse is the blue-eyed fox corpse in the video. He is holding a purple-gold box in his hand, and the female corpse next to him has many hidden weapons on her body.

After cutting the vines, Wu Xie landed beside the stone bed.

He put the purple-gold box away from the blue-eyed fox corpse.
