Mr. Pi’s gaze gradually turned sinister, but it was only for an instant.

Quickly, his expression calmed down as if nothing had happened. He again took out the compass, walked to the front of the crowd, and as always, observed the array formation to discern positions and used the compass to determine direction, walking forward along the tunnel.

Along the way, the tunnel was pitch-black and oppressive, with strange smells assaulting their noses.

In the darkness, there seemed to be unknown dangers lurking. The cold air was eerie, making people’s hair stand on end.

The crowd’s expressions were vigilant; they dared not have the slightest negligence.

Mr. Pi and the others had rich experience and were old hands in this field, but precisely because of this, they were extremely focused and dared not have the slightest negligence along the way.

Seeing the situation, Mo Hua’s heart stirred slightly:

Under this Gu Shan, does it really bury an extraordinary tomb?

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for people like Mr. Pi to make such great efforts, nor would they appear as if facing a formidable enemy, being so careful and cautious…

Mo Hua looked around again and involuntarily thought of Master Gu’s words. He silently said in his heart:

“If there really is a big tomb, then isn’t it… really possible to have ‘evil things’ like corpse transformation or ghost transformation?”

This tomb, perhaps, is really more dangerous than I thought…

Mo Hua was slightly startled in his heart. He unconsciously moved his feet and walked a bit closer to the several tomb robbers, thinking that a dead fellow Daoist is not a poor Daoist. If there was truly any danger, let these several Jin Dan die first.

But fortunately, the subsequent road was temporarily safe and sound.

After walking for a good half an hour more, the tunnel gradually widened, the stone walls became more solid, and also taller and more spacious. Before long, a huge tomb door appeared in front.

As soon as this tomb door entered his eyes, Mo Hua was startled. Then, he instantly felt a slight horror in his heart, and goosebumps all stood up.

Not only because this tomb door was ferocious, stern, and terrifying.

But because, this was clearly a…

Shuì Jiān Fùn Mén!

The entire tomb door, its form and the prison door used to suppress and punish sinners on the Shuì Jiān Fùn Tú, which he saw in the Shuì Jiān Mén’s supreme treasure—the Shuì Jiān Fùn Xiāng—were almost identical.

The eaves arched like crouching, like forbidden beast fangs. The walls were densely covered with array patterns, like prison chains, embedded in each other.

In the place of the two door leaves, the door rings were like man-eating fierce beasts, intimidating petty thieves.

On the left and right doors, each was carved with a human figure with a human body and a beast head, one with an ox head and one with a horse face. Their faces were ferocious and majestic, each holding a shackle, firmly locking the tomb door, as if suppressing the things inside the tomb, preventing them from escaping from underground.

The entire tomb door exuded a gloomy majesty.

Mo Hua knew some inside information, so the more he looked, the more he felt his heart alarmed. He never expected that in this underground tomb of Gu Shan, he could actually see traces of the Shuì Jiān Mén inheritance.

And Mr. Pi’s group did not know the secrets of the Shuì Jiān Mén, but looking at the stern tomb door in front, they also felt slightly numb in their hearts.

“Huī Èr Yé, a bit strange.”

“This tomb door, how could it be in such a form…”

“Isn’t it a bit like… the gate of Dào Jiān?”

“I just said why it looks so familiar… Damn, I, this old man, squatted in Dào Jiān for fifty years, and I hate seeing this thing the most…”

“Don’t you all find it strange? If the tomb door is the gate of Dào Jiān, then this tomb, isn’t it a big prison?”

“Who was buried, still thinking of sitting in prison?”

“This doesn’t match, ah…”

“Didn’t they say the buried person was… that one?”

Several people whispered in low voices, feeling uneasy.

Mo Hua pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

After a while, Mr. Pi frowned and said:

“Things have come to this point, there is no way back. Originally, I just ate this bowl of rice, my head on my waistband; where do I have the qualifications to pick and choose? Moreover, the remuneration has already been received; can I still throw down the burden and not do it?”

“Correct,” said the Jin Dan cultivator among them named “Huī Èr Yé,” “We want the things in the tomb; why bother care what this tomb buries.”

“We have mixed in the underground for so many years; what strange things haven’t we seen? The bold starve to death, the timid…”

After several people finished speaking, their courage strengthened a few points.

“Mr. Pi, open the tomb door, ba,” said Huī Èr Yé.

“Good.” Mr. Pi nodded, then, as per the method, took out the compass, bronze array pen, and array paper, and deduced by himself.

But after deducing for a while, Mr. Pi frowned, turned and asked: “First bring the ‘guests’ over, ba.”

Huī Èr Yé was startled. “Is it a bit early? According to the agreement, after breaking the door, we will then go invite them and enter the tomb together.”

Mr. Pi thought for a moment, then shook his head: “This tomb door is quite tricky; it needs more effort. And we just killed the Shen family people above; it is estimated that people will come for revenge. Time is precious and cannot be delayed, otherwise it is easy to produce changes. You all go invite people, and I will break the array.”

Huī Èr Yé pondered for a moment, then nodded: “Good. ‘Shǔ’ will stay for you.”

Huī Èr Yé pointed at the Jin Dan who was short and thin, with thick and long fingers, and who used both hands to pinch several Shen family cultivators’ heads to pieces earlier.

Tomb robbers entering a tomb, for taboo reasons, all use “nicknames,” not real names.

This “Shǔ” was the nickname of a Jin Dan tomb robber.

“No need, you both take ‘Shǔ’ and ‘Shí’; the background of this batch of guests is not small; you defend a bit,” said Mr. Pi, “I am sufficient to break the array alone.”

Huī Èr Yé then didn’t say anything.

Mr. Pi was an old hand at tomb robbing, and also a secretly transmitted Earth Array Master. His cultivation might not be high, but in the tomb, he had stayed longer than them.

Huī Èr Yé knew that even if they died, Mr. Pi might not die.

“Good.” Huī Èr Yé nodded.

Mr. Pi took out a paper, drew several lines, marked directions, then handed the drawing to Huī Èr Yé.

Huī Èr Yé then brought the other two Jin Dan and turned to leave.

The scene was then only left with Mr. Pi, Mo Hua, and the unconscious Shen Qīngshèng.

Mr. Pi was concentrated, cracking the array on the tomb door.

Mo Hua did not secretly look this time. He feared that Mr. Pi would suspect him again, so he only cast his gaze on the tomb door, observing some subtle traces on the tomb door. At the same time, he was still endlessly puzzled in his heart.

“Who exactly built this tomb, and who exactly is buried inside?”

“How could it be in the form of Shuì Jiān Mén’s inheritance…”

“Moreover, this tomb door seems to be just a ‘prison door,’ secretly matching the spirit and blood pupil technique of Shuì Jiān Mén… What is the exact relationship inside?”

Mo Hua’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly felt the surrounding atmosphere somewhat quiet. The air was quiet to the point of being frightening, and even the subtle friction sound of the bronze array pen on the paper also disappeared.

Mo Hua was startled, looked around, then frowned.

“Strange, how did Mr. Pi disappear…”

Mo Hua was muttering, casually turned around, and then saw Mr. Pi standing behind him, with a gloomy face, holding a dagger, stabbing towards his back heart in a way that God knows and ghosts do not realize.

Mo Hua’s face turned pale with fright, and his feet immediately went soft. He stumbled and fell to the ground.

And his fall just barely missed Mr. Pi’s killing intent, the seemingly poisoned, sharp dagger edge.

Mr. Pi’s expression was strange. “This little ghost, luck is still quite good…”

Mo Hua, still frightened, said: “Senior, what do you want to do?”

Mr. Pi smiled without showing his teeth, “What do you say?”

“I…” Mo Hua panicked and said, “You… you want to kill me?”

“Answered correctly, pity it’s useless.” Mr. Pi said indifferently, then stepped forward and extended his right hand, stabbing towards Mo Hua’s heart.

Mo Hua’s hands and feet were both locked by second-grade shackles and he was unable to resist. He could only roll on the spot and awkwardly dodged Mr. Pi’s killing move. At the same time, he hastily opened his mouth and said:

“Senior, don’t you want me to help? If you kill me, how can I still help you?”

“This young master of the Shen family can replace you to go and offer sacrifices. It doesn’t matter whether you are here or not.”

“One is not enough; at least leave one more as a spare…” Mo Hua said.

But Mr. Pi didn’t pay him any attention and was wholeheartedly intent on killing Mo Hua. The dagger in his hand flashed with cold light constantly, each time stabbing towards Mo Hua’s vital points, but Mo Hua barely dodged each time.

Mr. Pi’s anger in his heart gradually grew. He also suddenly understood and coldly laughed: “Didn’t expect, you, this boy, actually practiced good body movement…”

Mo Hua only focused on escaping and didn’t pay him any attention.

Mr. Pi smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, “However, that’s the end of it.”

Mo Hua was startled in his heart. He was just about to say something, yet he felt a shock under his feet, and earth energy flowed. Earth and stone rose, turning into a cage, instantly trapping him inside.

It was an array.

Although Mo Hua’s hands and feet were bound by shackles, this Mr. Pi, to ensure absolute safety, still buried an array beforehand.

Moreover, this array was derived from Earth Array inheritance and was very hidden. Ordinary cultivators, even ordinary array masters, were fundamentally unable to detect it.

Mo Hua was trapped by the array, his face pale.

Mr. Pi coldly laughed, “You run again, ah?”

Mo Hua was like a little deer trapped in a snare, his gaze alarmed and uneasy, and with a face full of fear, he asked Mr. Pi:

“Senior, you and I have no grudges, why must you kill me?”

Seeing Mo Hua trapped by his array, with no chance of survival, Mr. Pi smiled shallowly, slowly walked forward, and said:

“In my life, I have traveled south and north, seen many cultivators, and just one glance, I knew that you, little friend, are not ordinary.”

“At first, I only thought that you had high talent and outstanding ability in comprehending array formations. But just now you pointed out the error in my array, which is sufficient to prove that your master’s inheritance is outstanding and your foundation in the Way of Array is very deep.”

Mo Hua said guiltily: “My luck is good…”

Mr. Pi shook his head. “This is array formation; you can do it if you can, and you cannot if you cannot. There is no such thing as good luck. The Way of Array, even if someone has good luck, it is also based on the foundation of strength. Without strength, only luck, is also useless at all.”

“I won’t misjudge; you are an array formation genius.” Mr. Pi’s tone was firm.

“Even if I am an array formation genius,” Mo Hua said anxiously, “Then you don’t need to kill me, ah… Shouldn’t you, as an array formation senior, cherish talent?”

Mr. Pi laughed. “Boy, are you confused? With no relatives and no reasons, how does your talent, no matter how high, have any relation to me?”

“Are you really so naive that just because you have good talent, everyone you meet will cherish your talent and teach you array formation?”

“This is the cultivation world; human hearts are greedy and self-interested. No one will treat you well without reason.”

“Simply too naive…”

Mo Hua seemed to have his mind poked. His face was even paler, and his gaze was also somewhat “desperate.”

Seeing his pitiful appearance in his eyes, Mr. Pi unexpectedly had a faint feeling of pity in his heart.

Such a handsome little teenager, such an excellent seedling of array formation, was going to die in his hands today.

“Boy, before death, I will teach you one thing, let you die clearly.”

Mr. Pi gripped the poisoned dagger, approached Mo Hua step by step, and smiled gloomily:

“As an array master walking in the cultivation world, you must remember: No matter what you do, in a group, there can only be one array master.”

“And this array master is best if it is yourself.”

“You are the only array master; others dare not easily silence you.”

“And because you are the only array master, only you understand array formation, no matter what you do or say, whether it is right or wrong, only you know.”

“You want to kill, you want to cheat, you want to black eat black, it all follows your heart.”

“This is the experience I have summarized over hundreds of years of struggling in the cultivation world, working with all kinds of cultivators, licking blood on the knife’s edge, snatching food from the tiger’s mouth.”

“Your array formation is too good; I cannot leave you, so you can only go and die.”

“Remember this. If there is a next life, you must remember this point…”

Mr. Pi infused spiritual power into the dagger. On the dagger’s blade, a sinister green and fatal light flashed.

In Mo Hua’s fearful and desperate gaze, Mr. Pi, with a ferocious smile, skillfully stabbed the dagger into the chest of this array formation genius.

He was very skilled at this set of actions.

And wiping out an array formation genius also gave this obscure old array master a kind of dark pleasure.

But not long after, the ferocious smile on Mr. Pi’s face suddenly solidified.

His dagger stabbed into Mo Hua’s chest, but no blood flowed out; only a cloud of mist flowed out.

And Mo Hua’s face no longer had fear or despair; instead, he strangely smiled at Mr. Pi.

This smile immediately made Mr. Pi get goosebumps.

“Not good!”

Mr. Pi widened his eyes and immediately turned around, but his head had only turned halfway when a wisp of firelight appeared at the corner of his eye.

This wisp of firelight was different from ordinary flames.

Deep, strange, and full of violent spiritual power, the pressure it faintly emitted made Mr. Pi’s hair stand on end.

This is… what thing…

Mr. Pi still wanted to struggle a bit, but in this instant, he fundamentally had no opportunity to make any reaction. The burning pain in his back had already arrived.

Flames were devouring his flesh.

At the same time, a gentle voice came: “Thank you very much, Senior, for your guidance. In a group, there can only be one array master. I have learned.”

Mr. Pi’s heart thumped.

In that instant, he only had one thought left:

“Damn, I’ve capsized. I’ve been hitting geese all day, and my eyes were pecked…”

The next instant, the flames exploded, surging wildly like a condensed flame flood dragon, breaking open from Mr. Pi’s back, burning out his internal organs, evaporating his blood, going straight through his entire chest, drawing a blood and fire light in the air, whistling out.

Xiǎo Liú Xīng Jì!

When the flames were extinguished, Mr. Pi slowly knelt on the ground. His five viscera and six bowels were all burned to ashes, and there was already no trace of life.

Mr. Pi was dead.

Now in this group, only one array master was left.

And this array master was naturally Mo Hua.

After killing Mr. Pi, Mo Hua turned his head and looked to the side.

On the other side, Shen Qīngshèng, who knows when, had already woken up, and who knows what he saw. At this time, he sat on the ground, with a face full of fear and incredulity.

Mo Hua, with an indifferent face, made a shushing gesture towards him, warning: “You saw nothing. If you dare to say one more word, I will kill you.”

Shen Qīngshèng only felt a chill surging up from his heart and couldn’t help but shiver. He thought incredibly in his heart:

“This Mo Hua… what thing exactly is he…”

Mo Hua didn’t pay attention to him, but was thinking about how to clean up the aftermath.

After pondering for a moment, Mo Hua took Mr. Pi’s storage bag and some possibly useful things on his body, and packed them all into his own.

After searching around nearby, Mo Hua finally found a mechanism in a section of the tunnel. This mechanism was used to kill people. Overall, it was a huge stone roller that would directly roll the person entering the tomb to death.

When entering, Mr. Pi detected the mechanism in this place and specifically avoided it.

But now that he was dead, he just couldn’t avoid it.

Mo Hua dragged Mr. Pi’s corpse over and placed it into the slot of the mechanism.

In an instant, the mechanism activated, and the slot suddenly shook, shaking Mr. Pi’s corpse into the air.

A whistling sound came from afar. Three fire crossbow arrows broke through the air with enormous force, deeply nailed into Mr. Pi’s corpse, and then, along with the fire crossbow arrows, flew towards the end of the channel.

The end was a stone roller, closed up and down, directly rolling Mr. Pi’s corpse into a meat pie. Blood splashed, staining the stone roller red.

Mo Hua hurriedly covered his eyes and complained in his heart:

“I don’t know who designed this tomb; it’s too cruel…”

It was so cruel that he somewhat dared not look.

However, Mr. Pi was a tomb robber who had disturbed the peace of the dead and stolen so many tombs in his lifetime. To finally die in a tomb mechanism could also be said to have a good ending.

Mo Hua nodded, then returned along the original path and came to the front of the tomb door.

Shen Qīngshèng looked at Mo Hua’s figure as if looking at a devil.

Mo Hua glanced at him. Shen Qīngshèng instantly turned pale, hugged his head, and curled up on the ground, not daring to look at Mo Hua again.

Mo Hua was then satisfied. After that, he re-wore the second-grade shackles that he had unlocked, and meticulously supplemented all the array patterns on the shackles.

After that, he sat cross-legged and began to flip through Mr. Pi’s storage bag.

He had long wanted to get his hands on Mr. Pi’s storage bag, but he didn’t expect that he would actually get his hands on it so quickly.

This also blamed Mr. Pi for being too narrow-minded and too impatient.

Mo Hua shook his head and continued to flip through the storage bag.

Inside the storage bag, besides spirit stones, barrier-breaking pills, evil-expelling pills, filth-expelling pills, and other commonly used pills for entering tombs, most were things related to array masters’ inheritance.

For example, compasses, jade slips, array books, array diagrams, etc…

Mo Hua flipped through a bit and his heart suddenly shook.

This Mr. Pi seems to be a disciple of the “Tǔ Zōng”…

His inheritance was all obtained from the great sect of Kun State—the Tǔ Zōng.

“Tǔ Zōng…”

Mo Hua pondered in his heart.

He was not unfamiliar with this name; even he had a secretly transmitted ultimate array of the Tǔ Zōng on him—

The first-grade eleven-pattern Hòu Tǔ Jué Zhèn.

When learning the Hòu Tǔ Jué Zhèn, Master seemed to have mentioned some of the origins of the Tǔ Zōng to him.

The Tǔ Zōng is one of the largest sects in Kun State.

Exactly how big, Master didn’t say, but with Master’s vision, to say that this sect is “very big,” it is estimated to be absolutely a sect above the fifth grade.

And Kun State, like Qián State, is also a large state.

The land in Kun State is more fertile, and families are extremely prosperous.

As one of the largest sects in Kun State, its financial resources and foundation are very likely even stronger than the four major sects in Qián Xué Zhōu.

Of course, there is one more thing about the Tǔ Zōng that Mo Hua has a very, very deep impression of.

Exactly that one, said to be the supreme treasure of the Tǔ Zōng, inherited for ten thousand years, containing powerful Dao rhyme, extremely precious, even coveted by the Dào Tíng, had to be divided into two ancient visualization diagrams—

“Huáng Tiān Hòu Tǔ Tú”!
