My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom

Chen Ze felt extremely nervous, as if every nerve was being pierced by countless tiny needles.

But even in this perilous tomb passage, he managed to maintain a semblance of composure.

Wu Sang's mystery and power put immense pressure on Chen Ze.

However, Chen Ze noticed that Wu Sang, the Taoist priest, seemed unfamiliar with the layout of the tomb passage.

This subtle observation instantly ignited a spark of hope in his heart.

He turned around and whispered to Tian Siyao in an almost inaudible voice, "I'll lead him away from here, and then we'll find another chance to escape."

A hint of confusion flashed in Tian Siyao's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

She gripped the hilt of the jade sword tightly, as if drawing strength from it, and nodded.
Chen Ze put his hand in his pocket and quietly took out the Yin-Yang Mirror.

He knew this magical artifact could help him identify ghosts or supernatural phenomena, and this time, he planned to use it as bait.

"Are you ready?" Tian Siyao asked nervously.

"Ready?" Chen Ze nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if defying fate.

The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze.

Then Chen Ze turned around, took a deep breath, and walked straight toward the Taoist priest.

As he walked, he deliberately shook the yin-yang mirror in his hand, as if he had unintentionally revealed his "weakness".

Wu Sang, the Taoist priest, noticed the Yin-Yang Mirror, a hint of greed and contempt flashing in his eyes.

He clearly considered Chen Ze an immature opponent, which made him even more careless.

Just then, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the end of the tomb passage in the distance, and then a blurry figure slowly walked out.

It was a ghost, its face pale, with a cold smile on its lips that sent chills down one's spine.

Chen Ze was startled, but he didn't let his expression betray him.

He knew this was the most critical moment, and even the slightest mistake could put him and Tian Siyao in a deadly situation.

As Tian Siyao watched Chen Ze and Wu Sang Daoist grow further and further apart, she couldn't help but feel a chill for him, but she knew this was his only chance.

Using the dilapidated stone tablets and some strange markings on both sides of the tomb passage, she quietly made her way to another path, preparing to find a suitable opportunity to escape.

As the Taoist priest and the ghost drew closer, Chen Ze knew that everything now depended on whether Tian Siyao could seize this life-or-death opportunity.

It puts immense pressure on them.

In this moment of extreme oppression and tension, every second felt like an eternity. Chen Ze could only pray that everything would proceed as he had planned.

At that moment, Chen Ze and Tian Siyao's eyes met, their hearts clashing instantly, their understanding unwavering.

Chen Ze's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, as if they could see through all conspiracies and schemes.

Tian Siyao gently bit her lower lip, her eyes sparkling with endless admiration and determination.

"Tian Siyao, are you ready?" Chen Ze asked softly, gripping the Yin-Yang Mirror tightly in his hand.

"Alright," Tian Siyao replied, gripping the jade sword tightly in her hand, the blade emitting a faint, eerie green light.

Chen Ze nodded slightly and turned to look at the dark tomb passage ahead.

The echoes of their footsteps reverberated through the tomb passage, lingering there.

Ancient runes were carved on the stone walls on both sides of the tomb passage, but there was not a single light.

Chen Ze then waved the Yin-Yang Mirror slightly, and a faint light broke through the darkness in front of him.

The light from the Yin-Yang Mirror allowed them to see the road ahead.

“Alright, we’re leaving now,” Chen Ze said, taking the first step out.

"Wait, there seems to be something here..." Tian Siyao suddenly frowned, a hint of doubt on her face. She gripped the jade sword tightly, and with a gentle swing, the jade sword emitted a beam of eerie green light, illuminating the wall on one side of the tomb passage.

A tiny groove appeared on the wall of the tomb passage, as if it were a hidden mechanism.

Chen Ze walked over quietly, examined the object carefully with the Yin-Yang Mirror, and his expression changed slightly.

"This groove... is probably a trap left by Taoist Wu Sang."

"This Taoist priest is cunning and treacherous; we must be careful at all times," Chen Ze said vigilantly.

"What do we do now?" Tian Siyao asked nervously.

"Don't worry, I have a way." Chen Ze said, taking out the Qingfeng Sword and gently swinging it.

A gentle breeze blew from the tip of the sword and towards the groove.

The groove suddenly made a soft "click" sound, then slowly disappeared, as if it had been deactivated.

"Alright, that should be fine." Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief and gripped the Yin-Yang Mirror again.

Tian Siyao pursed her lips, deeply moved: "Chen Ze, you are really amazing. I admire you more and more."

Chen Ze smiled and replied, "We still have a long way to go, let's go."

The two embarked on their journey once more, their hearts filled with determination and courage. Although the road ahead was fraught with difficulties, they knew that as long as they joined hands, there was nothing they could not overcome.

Every turn and every shadow in the tomb passage may hide unknown dangers, but Chen Ze and Tian Siyao are filled with more anticipation and hope for the future.

Just as Chen Ze thought to himself, "Although we have escaped this calamity for now, this Taoist priest will definitely not let us go."

In front of Wu Sang Daoren, Chen Ze and Tian Siyao appeared almost powerless.

Wu Sang Daoren's palm strikes were as sharp as swords, forcing the two to retreat repeatedly.

Chen Ze gripped the Qingfeng Sword tightly, knowing that he had almost no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with this expert.

He turned to look at Tian Siyao beside him, who was also panting heavily. She was holding the jade sword and looked tense.

Chen Ze's heart stirred, and he suddenly took out a water dragon pearl from his pocket.

This bead is as green as the sea, and you can almost see a water dragon swirling inside.

He suddenly waved his hand, and the bead flew out, transforming into a water dragon that rushed towards Wu Sang Daoist.

Wu Sang Daoren's eyes were even colder, but also slightly surprised.

"I didn't expect you to have such a magical treasure hidden away." Daoist Wu Sang sneered, waved his hand, and a palm wind severed the water dragon, turning it into a puddle of water vapor.

At this moment, Tian Siyao took the opportunity to step aside and silently recited a few mantras for enlightenment.

A faint light began to emanate from the jade sword, and the blade became incredibly sharp.

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite!" A resolute glint flashed in Tian Siyao's eyes. She suddenly swung her jade sword, and a green sword aura shot towards Wu Sang Daoist in an instant.

Wu Sang Daoist smiled slightly, as if he had expected it, and with a gentle wave of his sleeve, he neutralized the sword energy.

But he suddenly felt a strange current of energy surrounding him. This was the effect of Tian Siyao's Mind-Enlightening Mantra, which could make people temporarily uneasy.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Ze brandished the Qingfeng Sword, and a sword light slashed through the air, heading straight for Wu Sang Daoist.

Wu Sang Daoist was slightly taken aback. In that instant, the sword light was already in front of him.

Just then, both of them sensed a strange aura, as if something was lingering nearby.

Chen Ze scanned his surroundings with the Yin-Yang Mirror but found nothing.

But this made him and Tian Siyao realize that Wu Sang Daoist wasn't their only enemy. (End of Chapter)
