The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2096 A Grave That Kills!

"Why would Longyin, one of the Three Sovereigns, have so many tombs? Looking around, the entire valley is full of graves; there must be at least a thousand!"

Hong Guiling's doubts were also everyone's doubts, but no one could provide an answer.

"Go down and take a look?"

"go!"

At least a hundred people had already gathered in the valley, and judging by the momentum, the number seemed to be increasing.

These people gathered together clearly do not belong to the same sect, so even if the five of them get close, there should be no danger.

The five people leaped down and entered the valley.

Lin Chen looked around and found everything lifeless and devoid of any vitality; on the contrary, it was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

The people in the deep valley were discussing among themselves, their faces showing excitement mixed with a hint of fear.

"Among so many graves, is any of them actually real?"

"This grave can kill people. This is the first time I've ever set up my own grave as a trap."

"If one person is killed for each grave, wouldn't it take thousands of immortals to break open all these graves?"

"Let anyone who wants to die try it. I don't want to die."

"I'm not going either. I'll just look around and not say anything!"

As soon as Lin Chen and the other four landed, they heard the discussion and were confused as to why they didn't understand what was going on.

Murder at the grave?
what's the situation?
Hong Guiling blinked, glanced around, and walked over to a middle-aged man with a rough appearance.

"Brother, what's going on here? I heard people saying that graves can kill people, what's that all about?"

The middle-aged man was watching the show with his arms crossed when he turned around and saw Hong Guiling. His eyes lit up and he explained, "They said that the dragon's roar on this tombstone is one of the six top experts in this world, nicknamed the Carefree Dragon Lord. Everyone guessed that the dragon's roar should be buried in one of these tombs. Just now, someone tried to break into the tomb to see what was inside, and a bolt of lightning shot out from the tomb, turning the tomb-breaker into charred remains."

"Some people didn't believe in the superstition and tried a different grave, but the result was the same. Now everyone is afraid to move and just watches from here. Some disciples from major sects have already sent out messages, waiting for their sect's experts to arrive. Most of the rest are from small sects or independent cultivators, hiding here to watch the show and looking for an opportunity to see if they can get a share of the spoils."

Hong Guiling asked curiously, "What level of strength did the people who made the move earlier have?" The big man replied, "The first person to die was a True Immortal, and the next person to die was a Golden Immortal. They all died very quickly and decisively, especially the second one. Before he made his move, he activated all his defensive magic treasures, but the lightning bolt was too destructive. It shattered all his defensive magic treasures in an instant and then struck him, killing him instantly."

Hong Guiling asked in surprise, "Is it that powerful? Whoever damages the grave gets struck down?"

"Yes!"

The burly man pointed to two massive, damaged tombs in the distance: "The tombs are very sturdy, protected by array formations, and connected to heaven and earth. If your strength is too low, you simply cannot break through them. However, once a tomb is broken open, the array inside will release a bolt of lightning that will kill the tomb raider!"

Song Jun couldn't help but interject, asking, "Is there anything in there?"

The burly man shook his head: "The tomb is also filled with an array, which stores an incredibly powerful attack. There's nothing else inside."

Hong Guiling asked in surprise, "Then what is the purpose of these graves? Are they meant to kill those who come to rob the graves?"

The burly man curled his lip: "Who knows? Maybe the true form of Longyin is inside one of these tombs."

Hong Guiling chimed in, "That's just a possibility. What if they're all not here?"

The burly man laughed and said, "That's possible. Maybe he set a trap specifically to ensnare those who want to dig up graves. He's a super strong person, who knows what he's thinking?"

Having figured out what had happened, Lin Chen and the others gathered together and discussed it in hushed tones.

“There are so many graves, at least five hundred. If each grave is used to kill one person, wouldn’t it take killing five hundred people to break open all the graves? Most importantly, there’s no way to guarantee that Longyin’s real grave is inside.”

"Why is Long Yin going to all this trouble? Is it to protect the safety of his own tomb?"

"I don't understand either. If he didn't want to be spied on after his death, he could have just quietly found a place to be buried somewhere, and who would have known it was Longyin?"

Lin Chen remained silent, but in his heart he thought of the emperors of the human world throughout history.

These emperors lavishly constructed their tombs during their lifetimes, and these tombs were equipped with all sorts of bizarre and deadly traps in order to prevent their tombs from being robbed after their deaths.

Even more outrageous emperors would build their tombs in such secret locations that no one knew them, and after the tombs were completed, they would immediately kill all the craftsmen who had participated in their construction.

Historically, some people have built fake tombs for themselves in order to attract attention and ensure the safety of their real tombs.

Look at these fake tombs, how similar are the methods used?
