Chapter 917: Picking A Tomb
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was as if someone was strangling his throat.
“Investigate! We have to search the whole of Seaside City to find the person who messed with our Punishment Bureau!”
“If you can’t find it, then you don’t need to come back!”
“Pay attention to anyone who has reached the origin king realm or above!”
From Xiang Yingjie’s perspective, Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian naturally could not kill an origin king realm expert, so it had to be the doing of some other expert behind them.
…
Seaside City, a Blessed Cemetery, there were tombstones everywhere
The most amazing thing was that it was a mountain wall.
The mountain wall seemed to have been split open by a mighty expert’s sword, and was almost perfectly smooth. On the surface of the smooth mountain wall were caves that could be used to put coffins.
Many coffins had already been inserted into it, after which the caves were filled with thick soil and sealed.
Spirit energy seeped out of the ground and enveloped the coffins.
When Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian arrived at the Blessed Cemetery, they realized that there were many people there.
Some came empty-handed, while others carried coffins. The atmosphere here was desolate and bleak.
Just as Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian were about to enter, a wooden stick was placed in front of them.
“Leave something behind before you can enter to choose a tomb. This is the rule.”
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. It was only then that he noticed the person who spoke.
It was an old man with a hunched back. His face was full of wrinkles and he was as thin as a stick.
Ye Chen’s blood was boiling, as he could sense danger from this old man.
He was certain that this old man’s cultivation level was extremely high, and had perhaps even surpassed the Daoyuan realm!
This was the first time Ye Chen had encountered such an expert!
“Senior, what do you need?” He cupped his hands and asked.
The old man closed his eyes, seemingly ignoring Ye Chen’s words.
Ye Chen’s eyes darted around. He retrieved a pill he had refined some time ago from the Samsara Graveyard. “Senior, is this pill enough?”
The old man’s nose twitched. He had obviously sensed the uniqueness of the pill, and he opened his eyes in surprise.
Before Ye Chen could react, he moved his finger and took the pill from Ye Chen’s hand.
“Did you refine this pill?” the old man asked as he glanced at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen decided not to hide anything and nodded.
“Only twenty years old, yet already an origin-grade alchemist… It looks like the Core Tower has produced a genius!”
“Since I have accepted your offering, you can go in. Can you see the different cave tombs? The effect and spiritual energy of each cave tomb are different. Some people chose one that would bless their descendants for a lifetime and allow the deceased to rest in peace, while others chose one that would destroy their family and dig their own graves! These things all depend on luck, do you understand?”
“Also, once you choose the cave tomb, you must bury your deceased there. If you don’t, both of you will die here. Do you understand?”
The old man’s voice slowly faded, causing Ye Lingtian to frown.
What kind of lousy rule was this? If he had known that it would be so dangerous, he would have buried his father somewhere else!
“Let’s go,” Ye Chen cupped his hands at the old man and said to Ye Lingtian.
After the two of them left, the old man lay on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. He seemed to no longer care about everything around him. However, his spiritual sense covered the entire area, sensing and seeing everything.
Three minutes later, Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian arrived at the mountain wall
Ye Lingtian frowned as he looked at the densely packed cave tomb entrances. “Hall Master, how should I choose one? I feel like they are all the same. It’s even harder than winning the lottery.”
Ye Chen felt a headache coming on. Regardless of the density of the spiritual energy or the aura, these ten cave tombs were almost identical.
If he had to choose, he could only randomly guess.
Suddenly, a languid voice was heard from Ye Chen’s shoulder.
“Twenty-seventh row, ninth from the left.”
Ye Chen was stunned. He glanced at his shoulder and realized that Little Gold was still sleeping.
Was it pretending to be asleep?
Although he did not know why Little Gold was so sure, he had no choice but to bring Ye Lingtian to the spot it mentioned.
The mountain wall was dangerous and the winding path led to a secluded place. When the two of them were about to approach the cave tomb, the old man with his eyes closed suddenly stood up and stared at Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian!
His expression was extremely strange, and there was shock in his eyes!
“Strange, strange. How did this kid do it? Out of so many, he actually chose a heaven-grade tomb?”
Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow were divided into four grades.
Most importantly, Ye Chen had chosen the best heaven-grade tomb!
His eyes narrowed into slits as he stared at Ye Chen’s back before finally sitting back down in his chair. A smile appeared on his face.
“Interesting, very interesting. This is the first time someone has piqued my curiosity in the past thousand years in Seaside City.”
…
Standing in front of the tomb, Ye Chen glanced at Little Gold and said to Ye Lingtian, “Lingtian, put uncle’s coffin inside this tomb and bury him!”
“Yes, Hall Master!”
Just as Ye Lingtian was about to place the coffin into the tomb, a voice rang out, causing Ye Lingtian to stop in his tracks. Both of them turned to look at the source of the voice, which was a young woman with a green veil covering her face. Despite the veil, her gestures and figure were elegant, beautiful and refined.
It would not be an exaggeration to compare the young girl to a celestial fairy!
The young woman glanced at Ye Lingtian and asked, “Sir, can you give this place to me?”
Ye Lingtian could only look at Ye Chen.
It was only then that the girl noticed Ye Chen. Earlier, the coffin had obscured Ye Chen from view, so she did not see him clearly.
However, when her gaze landed on Ye Chen, a hint of surprise and suspicion flashed across her beautiful eyes.
The aura this young man exuded was very familiar.
