The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1338 The Black Grail, Origin of the Graveyard

"There's something ahead."

Lin Chen was invigorated. Was he about to uncover the truth about the Ancient Tomb, one of the six most dangerous places in the wilderness?
After flying for several dozen more miles, Lin Chen slowed down.

He felt it too.

A strong, malevolent aura emanated from the area, like a biting, icy wind that chilled one to the bone, making one feel as if they were in an ice cave.

The black fog here was incredibly thick. Without Qi's guidance, even though Lin Chen's strength was comparable to that of a half-immortal, he would be completely blind here and wouldn't be able to see anything.

As they continued forward, the malevolent aura grew increasingly intense.

Lin Chen's heart pounded harder and harder as he got closer, and he felt cold all over, as if a million ants were crawling on him, giving him an instinctive urge to turn around and run away.

"Sister Qi, what is this? The malevolent energy is so strong, I can hardly withstand it..."

"Let's take a closer look."

Suddenly, golden light burst forth from the Ghost Tower. The light was not large, only two or three meters in range, but it enveloped Lin Chen completely.

The bone-chilling, heart-palpitating feeling that Lin Chen had been experiencing instantly subsided, and his previously cold body warmed up, as if the Ghost Tower were a torch in the icy wilderness.

Dispel the darkness, dispel the cold.

Protected by the light of the Ghost Tower, Lin Chen continued forward and finally arrived at the center of all the sources of evil energy.

Before Lin Chen was a cliff, and thick malevolent energy, mixed with billowing black mist, surged into the sky from below.

Lin Chen descended the deep valley for about four or five hundred meters before reaching the bottom.

The golden light expanded once more, and Lin Chen's field of vision also expanded accordingly.

After searching for a while, he finally found the source of the evil energy and black mist.

A pitch-black cup.

This cup appears to be made of some strange black metal. It has been lying here for who knows how long, but it is still spotless and gleams with a metallic sheen, making it look very appealing.

The surface of the cup is engraved with various patterns, all of which shimmer with a white, dazzling light.

There was a rather large chip at the mouth of the cup, as if it had been smashed by something, and thick black smoke was pouring out of the cup.

"Sister Qi, is this a magic artifact? How can such a simple cup create a deadly place?"

"I'll take a look."

The black Holy Grail on the ground floated up and headed towards the Ghost Tower. The Ghost Tower did not rush to "devour" it. Despite being dilapidated, it was still able to continuously generate black mist, constantly expanding the area of ​​the Eternal Graveyard. This Holy Grail-shaped magical artifact was clearly of great importance.

Qi examined it for a while and confirmed that it was an inanimate object, unlike the Ghost Tower which possessed a spirit, before putting it into the tower.

As the broken black Holy Grail was taken away, the extremely intense malevolent aura suddenly vanished without a trace, and the body instantly felt relaxed.

The previously solid and motionless black mist around them suddenly began to churn and ripple, as if it had suddenly become lighter.

Looking at the churning black mist, Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise, "The cup has been taken away, so the black mist in the Eternal Graveyard can be dispelled?"

"Just try and you will find out."

Qi soared into the sky and then hovered in mid-air.

A wind suddenly picked up in the air, which had been completely shrouded in black mist.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, and the only sound in the world was the howling of the wind.

A fierce wind swept up countless black wisps of mist, which swirled and spread through the air, sweeping away into the distance.

The black fog between heaven and earth gradually thinned and faded until finally, looking up, one could see the hazy light of day.

Amidst the howling wind, a tremendous commotion arose from the black mist of the ancient cemetery.

Huge, tattered corpses of beasts emerged from the black mist, emitting low howls as they ran in panic, revealing an indescribable terror.

Lin Chen floated in mid-air, watching the first ray of sunlight fall from the clouds.

Such a perilous and dangerous place was actually formed by a broken black cup.

More importantly, the cup just lay there casually in the deep valley, without any formations or protection.

On second thought, with so many powerful and terrifying living beasts, apart from immortals, who else could possibly find the source of the black mist through their defenses?
The truth is simple, but breaking free from the constraints is difficult.

"The ancient cemetery is going to be gone."

Qi's voice was clear and crisp: "Let's go, let's see if there are any other powerful zombies, I'll catch a few more."

Lin Chen flew towards the area where the giant beast was active, and asked, "Even you don't know the origin of this cup?"

Qi laughed and said, "The Immortal Realm is boundless, and there are countless magical treasures. Who dares to say they know all the magical treasures in the world? However, it should be a magical treasure of the dead. Even after it was broken, it still has such power. Before it was broken, it should have been even more powerful..."

Lin Chen suddenly remembered the Fog Island in the Silent Sea and said, "There's an island in the Silent Sea that's also shrouded in mist and inhabited by similar giant beasts, but the mist there is gray and the beasts are alive. Do you think there might be a connection?"
