When they heard the alliance leader had arrived, Bao Ye and the others immediately felt that the harsh winter had passed and spring had arrived.
The old man had no choice but to stop and lead everyone back to the Kaitian Battle Sect, where they found Qu Jianying and Mo Nian arriving together.
"Mo Nian, aren't you in seclusion? How did you come here when you had time? Guo Ran asked curiously when he saw Mo Nian.
Mo Nian's expression was a bit odd. She opened her mouth a few times, but finally sighed and said, "
It's hard to put into words."
"Got into trouble?" Long Chen was taken aback.
"They really are best friends, guessed right away. That little rascal actually secretly went to dig up the Tomb of the Evil God." Qu Jianying glared fiercely at Mo Nian and said.
"Damn, how can you be so clueless?" "What time is it now... Guo Ran immediately became furious.
"Actually..." Mo Nian said a little awkwardly.
"Stop talking nonsense. The situation on the Tianwu Continent is in crisis right now. Demon Spirit Mountain and the Yin-Yang Realm could invade the continent at any moment..." Long Chen said angrily.
Seeing Long Chen scold Mo Nian, Qu Jianying nodded slightly. Although Long Chen was mischievous, he was sensible at critical moments.
"... At a time like this, you actually went to dig the Evil God's Tomb alone—why didn't you invite me? Wasn't it agreed upon back then? Long Chen shouted angrily.
"I'll beat you two little bastards to death." He originally thought Long Chen was fairly reliable, but with a single twist, he almost dragged Qu Jianying into the pit. Both of them were so unreliable.
"What exactly happened? What happened? The old man pulled Qu Jianying aside and asked.
"Let him do it." Qu Jianying glared at Mo Nian and said.
Mo Nian had no choice but to confess honestly. In fact, Long Chen had wronged Mo Nian. Mo Nian had indeed approached Long Chen, but at the time Long Chen was at the Kaitian Battle Sect. Mo Nian knew Long Chen must be cultivating the ninth form of Kaitian, so after thinking it over, he decided to let it go.
So he secretly sneaked into the Evil God's Tomb. With Mo Nian's years of tomb raiding, the evil sect's restrictions couldn't stop him, and he sneaked into the inner tomb without anyone noticing.
He found the place Long Chen had mentioned before where the evil god was buried, but Mo Nian didn't see the evil emperor guarding there. Instead, he secretly opened the stone coffin and found it completely empty.
What surprised Mo Nian most was that, based on his experience, those coffins should have just been opened not long ago. At the time, Mo Nian thought someone had gotten in first, but thinking it was unlikely—maybe it had been transferred by the evil sect.
Mo Nian searched carefully and found a passage beneath the tomb. Following the passage, he entered a dim world.
It was an ancient city, filled with a sinister ghostly aura and the stench of decay everywhere. That aura was poisonous and could harm one's soul.
Fortunately, the poison wasn't very strong, so Mo Nian could easily resist. He quietly slipped into the massive ancient city and discovered countless skeletons inside. But as he approached the interior, he saw endless undead.
These undead were humans, beasts, and all sorts of strange races. They had become dried corpses, but their shriveled eyes shone with a terrifying light. They possessed their own consciousness.
However, after becoming undead, they do not attack each other. They have keen senses and senses, and Mo Nian was nearly discovered several times.
Mo Nian finally understood that this was the most mysterious City of Wrongful Deaths among the seven forbidden lands of the Tianwu Continent, whose entrance was originally connected to the Evil God's Tomb.
Mo Nian carefully slipped into the city center, but the city was so large it was almost unbelievable. Mo Nian felt this city might not even be smaller than the entire Central State.
Mo Nian cautiously moved stealth, seeing endless undead along the way. His scalp tingled, because the closer he got to the city center, the more terrifying the aura of those undead became.
At first, he only occasionally encountered a Fusion Heaven Realm being, but later, he encountered more and more undead at the Fusion Heaven Realm.
Mo Nian was terrified. The undead sat quietly there, motionless, but their aura was terrifying. Sometimes, when Mo Nian passed by, they would sense something and get up to patrol.
At that moment, Mo Nian's scalp tingled. There were at least dozens of Fusion Heaven Realm undead nearby. If discovered, he would never get out again. If killed here, he might become one of the undead.
Because when Mo Nian entered, he saw many disciples dressed in divine clan robes. They had all become undead, knowing the legend was true. If they died here, they would be turned into undead puppets by the local rules, losing their consciousness.
Mo Nian tried several times to leave. This place was too dangerous; if he alerted the undead here, he would have no chance of survival.
But since he finally made it, he wouldn't be willing to go into the city center to see for himself.
Summoning his courage, Mo Nian kept moving forward. When he reached the city center, he regretted it. The city gates were tightly shut, and he didn't dare use his spiritual energy, lest he disturb the undead.
Most of the undead in the city center were at the Fusion Heaven Realm. Some even dared not approach, because the aura they emitted would make his soul ache.
Such undead had already surpassed Mo Nian's understanding; they were probably no longer just simple Fusion Heaven Realm experts. Those undead could even be destroyed with a mere wave of his hand.
Mo Nian circled the city and finally saw an ancient giant python. Its body had already decayed. This was not a ghost, but a corpse. It happened to be lying on the city wall, and Mo Nian carefully climbed up from it.
As a result, climbing onto the city wall and looking inside, Mo Nian almost cried out in surprise, because he saw thousands upon thousands of undead bound by chains. At the end of the chains was an altar in the city center, on which were some coffins.
In the core area of the coffin sat a person. It was precisely because he saw this person clearly that Mo Nian was greatly shocked.
That person was none other than Ye Ming, the terrifying prodigy of the evil path. He sat cross-legged, surrounded by the aura of undead, as if cultivating.
Just as Mo Nian was spying on him, Ye Ming's eyes suddenly opened. Mo Nian's heart raced—he had been discovered.
Mo Nian didn't bother to reveal himself at the time; almost instinctively, he shot an arrow at Ye Ming. However, when the arrow was just a few zhang away, space suddenly twisted, and the arrow vanished in an instant, swallowed by some mysterious force.
With Mo Nian's move, the entire City of Wronged Death instantly erupted, countless undead awakened and charged toward Mo Nian.
Mo Nian shot an arrow, not caring whether it hit or not. He had already slipped into the Earth-Splitting Divine Shuttle and sped away.
As a result, the endless undead suddenly fell into chaos. Mo Nian piloted the Earth-Splitting Divine Shuttle, burrowed underground, and escaped amid the chaos.
But just after walking a short distance, a terrifying aura locked onto him. The earth shattered, and Mo Nian's Earth-Splitting Divine Shuttle was sent flying.
Endless undead charged at Mo Nian. Just as Mo Nian thought he was certain to die today, the void suddenly twisted and an imperial seal appeared.
However, as soon as the imperial seal appeared, it shattered with a roar, transforming into countless divine talismans that illuminated this terrifying ancient city as the talismans reverberated.
Countless undead screamed in agony, seemingly terrified of the light, all fleeing in panic. Mo Nian didn't know what was happening, but seeing the undead suppressed, he immediately piloted the Earth-Splitting Divine Shuttle and fled at high speed.
Soon, the runes dimmed, and the undead roared angrily and charged at Mo Nian.
Mo Nian had already escaped to the Evil God's Tomb, but the undead had no intention of letting him go. The passage was shattered, and they actually rushed into the Evil God's Tomb.
But after those undead entered the Evil God's Tomb, they clearly felt their speed slow down a lot, as if suppressed.
Mo Nian was overjoyed and seized the opportunity to sprint away from the Evil God's Tomb. But as soon as Mo Nian left, a large number of undead followed and charged out.
However, as soon as they left the Evil God's Tomb, they immediately let out screams, white smoke billowing from their bodies, and fled back to the graveyard.
Some undead didn't have time to escape and collapsed to dust, which finally put Mo Nian at ease.
But soon, his heart sank again, because at the entrance to the Evil God Tomb, a decaying aura kept surging toward the Tianwu Continent. The surrounding flowers, grass, and trees withered, quickly spreading across thousands of miles of space.
In the space filled with black mist, those undead roared at Mo Nian within the black mist.
Mo Nianyi saw something was wrong. He accidentally opened the gates of the City of Wrongful Death. Once the city's aura spreads throughout the entire Tianwu Continent, these undead can wreak havoc there.
Thinking about the consequences, Mo Nian broke out in a cold sweat and hurried over to Qu Jianying, explaining the situation. Qu Jianying was also startled and took Mo Nian to find Long Chen. This matter was too big, and everyone needed to discuss what to do.
"This isn't Mo Nian's fault. Clarifying the matter early is a good thing. The evil path is never a good thing.
They have always held onto the City of Wrongful Death, which is actually a conspiracy, and Ye Ming might be the key to this conspiracy's unfolding.
Perhaps this is why, as soon as Yuntian saw Ye Ming, he would mercilessly cut him down. Long Chen said.
Long Chen wasn't defending Mo Nian. Although he had never been to Wangsi City, Wangsi City had only two entrances: one for the Divine Clan and one for the evil path. The Divine Clan's passage was on the outskirts of Wangsi City, making it impossible to enter its interior.
But when Mo Nian entered the City of Wrongful Death, the exit was right inside the city, which already explained the issue. As for why the evil cultivator only moved the evil god's coffin into the city at this time, it was rather puzzling.
In short, the evil path and the City of Wrongful Death hold unspeakable secrets, and now Mo Nian has accidentally come across this secret.
Previously, Qu Jianying said he feared the evil cult would open the gates of the City of Wrongful Deaths and release the undead to poison the continent. Now it seemed the evil sect's methods were even more terrifying than Qu Jianying had estimated. They might already control the entire city of the Wronged Deaths.
"How could there be an imperial seal inside the City of Wrongful Death?" After pondering for a while, the old man said, "This is truly baffling—whose great emperor's method is this?"
"The Emperor's methods are unpredictable. What is meant to happen will come. Don't worry so much."
After Long Chen finished speaking, he looked at Mo Nian and gave a sinister smile:
"Scholar Mo Nian, I wonder what you've gained from this archaeology. Should you ... Share your thoughts? "
Thieves don't leave empty-handed—that's a must!" Mo Nian immediately smiled smugly.
To the stunned expressions of the old man and Qu Jianying, Mo Nian poured out a sack of things. The two immediately cried out in shock, hardly able to believe their eyes.
