At the same time, a person dozens of tunnels out frowned.
The Spiritual Sense connection was actually broken?
Not only that person, many of those present all stopped. Most of them had black skin and wings on their backs. Their expressions were extremely ugly, a few of them were Formless, like floating souls, one could only see their rough image.
“What is going on?”
“We can’t sense him anymore. This isn’t what you all promised…”
“What is weird about this? Zong Shou isn’t dead and is the top expert in the Cloud World over these thousands of years. He had been through many battles, so obviously he would be wary. He probably noticed that he had been followed.”
The person who asked was really calm and didn’t bother about the gazes of the other people.
“Moreover, since Zong Shou had Kong Rui working under him, how would he not have methods to defend against such evil techniques?”
“However, if we can’t locate him how are we going to kill him?”
“There are many passages in the tomb with mechanisms all around. Blindly searching is useless and we would instead be in danger of dying.”
A red robbed male laughed, “Obviously I know that. However, there is no need to worry. Since Zong Shou has entered he won’t leave in a short time. Moreover, how can a curse personally set by a Saint Venerable be so weak? Don’t worry…”
“Speaking of which, I have been finding it weird. What is your Saint Venerable planning?”
One of them said coldly, “Don’t tell me that it is just to take that Zong Shou’s life?”
“Why not? Our Demon Path had dozens of sects being wiped out, it is not too much to call it a blood debt.”
That red-robed man laughed, “Even Junior Brother Han beside me hates him for stealing his wife. He hates the Great Gan Ruler to the bone. Junior Brother is doted on by Saint Venerable and it is not surprising that he would personally act for him…”
Junior Brother Han scoffed coldly. His eyes were filled with sharpness as he gritted his teeth and clenched his muscles.
The tone of the red-robed man changed, “Aren’t you all afraid the Lu Family will blame you?”
“Afraid of the Lu Family? So you borrow us?”
A cold laugh rang out and it was bone-deep. “I always felt that what your Saint Venerable planned wouldn’t be so simple. Since we are working together, we should know our bottom line. What is the point of hiding like that, how can we be considered allies this way?”
“Allies?”
The eyes of the red-robed man were filled with mocking intent. “The problem is that your two races have no choice! Unlimited Light, Endless Darkness, even the Heavens want you two to be wiped out.
“If you miss this chance, then there would be no more chances in the future. Are you really going to wait until he grows and step into Saint Realm? Even if Great Gan falls, as Long as Lu Family is there, his potential is still limitless. He would still become an End Realm Saint Venerable sooner or later. So we aren’t allies, we are just temporarily working together for our own gains.”
“As for what my Saint Venerable is planning, I can tell you guys about it. You can take his life but we just want an item.”
“For the Saint Venerable to pay such close attention to it, it must be a top treasure and is Super important right?”
“That doesn’t have anything to do with you all?”
The tomb was silent and after a long while, one of them spoke up.
“Speaking about hatred of stealing your Wife, is your Saint Lady reliable? I heard that once she is tempted, she won’t act logically. As long as Zong Shou is slightly wary, then we will most definitely fail…”
“You don’t have to worry about this!”
The red-robed man gave a cruel laugh, “She doesn’t know about this. She also doesn’t know she doesn’t have much time left! Before she dies, she might even give him a huge surprise.”
※※※※
Zong Shou naturally had no idea about the conversation dozens of miles away. When he scattered that ink jade powder, he felt more at ease.
Who knew whether it was because of the psychological factor or because he had escaped from some sort of danger.
“That Intent has scattered… however, who is plotting against me?”
Zong Shou instinctively thought about Gongyuan. He had to admit that he was at his most vulnerable now.
He couldn’t use King Path Martial Arts and the few Saint Venerables who were connected to him couldn’t interfere.
His combat strength was pulled down from the Saint Realm.
However, that didn’t feel right, just now it was much more dangerous.
Gongyuan’s Illusionary and Real Mother and Son Sword was strong but that Spiritual Sense just now gave him more sense of danger.
He looked at the void with a solemn expression. He ordered the turtle to speed up and move forward.
He knew that there were hundreds of thousands of cavalry around, so naturally they became more careful.
Shen Yuexuan let out a few birds that flew into the tunnels. They monitored each area to prevent them from coming into contact with the Iron Cavalry.
Within the tomb there were spiritual energy fluctuations that spread over. There were already many people who found their way into the main tomb.
They were either facing those mechanisms or clashing with the Great Qin Iron Cavalry that were already dead. A few of them were extremely close, just a few tunnels away.
Zong Shou followed the blueprints and arrived in front of a stone door. He didn’t try to break it open, just tossing out a tray that stuck onto the door.
A black light swelled like it could swallow everything and then it disappeared.
The stone door and passageway looked like a huge bite was taken out of it as half of the matter disappeared.
Only a thin layer was left on that thick door.
This was the benefit of the Endless Darkness ability. He was able to break formations without needing to be afraid of any recoil. It was totally silent and there were no spiritual energy fluctuations.
Unfortunately, it used up a lot of Celestial Stones and each tray was comparable to a Low-Grade Celestial Artifact. Before they arrived, Zong Shou had only crafted a few of them.
Now he was only left with two in his hands.
However, there was no need for him to do anything now. The Jade Puppet punched out and smashed that weak stone door.
What laid in front of their eyes was a gigantic room.
It was 800,000 feet from north to south, 380,000 from east to west. There were many life-like statues lined up.
There were at least 120,000, a full 120 formations of 10,000 men each.
War carriages, cavalry, weapons, armor, they were all present.
Although they were statues but they gave off an aura like they could swallow Heaven and Earth.
“Qin Emperor Terracotta Warriors…”
Legend had it that there were huge armies buried along with him to guard his grave.
A weird expression flashed in Zong Shou’s eyes. He then turned to a small room on the north.
With a million troops, there were natural resources needed for war.
That smaller room should have been where they were stored.
Resources that could allow an army to fight for several years.
Just as Zong Shou was about to head over, Su Xiaoxiao looked at the soldiers with an ashen white face.
“What strong vengeful Intent, they are all vengeful corpses! They are about to awaken…”
Zong Shou was shocked and looked out. As expected, dust fell from the surface of those statues. Cracks appeared on the outer layer like something within was breaking out.
“Can your technique control them?”
“No, there are too many!”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and then she gritted her teeth, “I can suppress them for at most 15 minutes…”
She smiled, “However, you must go to bed with me once and allow me to do anything. Even if for just two hours, I will do it. I learned many techniques that I still haven’t had a chance to use!”
Yuan Wushang coughed. Su Xiaoxiao seemed like a fairy but the words she said were so crude while also making one’s heart jump.
Even he couldn’t help but think about it. Zong Zhou was too blessed.
Chuxue’s face turned red and she grumbled, “This demon lady!”
Zong Shou didn’t bother, his speed increasing as he charged into the north room.
His eyes opened up with shock and joy.
A small mountain of Celestial Stones were placed there. Just one look and one knew that it was over 100,000 and they weren’t low grade either.
Mind Stones were tough to store and even in spiritual lands, after 10,000 years the quality would drop.
However, Celestial Stones didn’t have that problem. The longer they were stored, the thicker the energy within.
Compared to the pile in front of him, the ones he snatched from the Demon Path really weren’t worth mentioning.
Only the ones he got from the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty could be compared.
“If only I use it, I can speed the book for 1,000 years. No maybe even 1,200!”
However, if his cultivation reached God Realm, then the length of time would drop by 10 times.
“Ancient Qin was so rich?”
Zong Shou looked around in disbelief.
There were a bunch of well-kept armor and weapons.
Zong Shou casually picked up a sword, a set of armor, and a crossbow and tested it out. The joy on his face grew.
Even after 10,000 years, it was still really sharp and firm. Due to the blacksmiths of the past being better than now, only the bow lost some flexibility. But that was a small matter and was easy to fix.
There were 130,000 sets of armor, 800,000 swords, 640,000 short axes, 400,000 and crossbows. A quarter of them were specially designed for Big Dipper Sword Soldiers and Crossbow Soldiers.
