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

Qin Miyue and Chen Ze followed behind Tian Siyao in tacit agreement, preparing to face possible danger.

They gripped their weapons tightly and looked around warily.

After passing through a thick fog, they came to a huge stone wall.

The stone walls are covered with ancient runes and incantations, seemingly bearing witness to a piece of history.

Tian Siyao stared at the engravings, a surge of emotion welling up inside her.

She raised the Tushita Sword and swung it lightly among the runes.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed and enveloped her.

"This is... some kind of mechanism has been activated!" Qin Miyue exclaimed.

Chen Ze nervously looked around, searching for any possible changes.

Suddenly, the stone wall in front of them parted, revealing a passage.

Driven by curiosity, the three resolutely stepped into the passage.

The passageway was filled with a rich aroma of herbs and trees, like a mysterious forest.

They gradually sensed something unusual.

However, after searching, they found no important clues.

After leaving the Fog Extreme Vein, Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze cautiously entered the mine near Lotus Village.

This place is called "Zhishui Valley," which is said to be an ancient sacrificial site.

After the three entered the mine, they were immediately plunged into darkness.

In this boundless darkness, they could only rely on the faint light of their flashlights to find clues.

Tian Siyao led Qin Miyue and Chen Ze forward cautiously, trying to avoid making any noise.

She would stop from time to time to observe her surroundings and use her ability to interpret symbols to analyze the spells and patterns on the walls.

Waiting quietly in the darkness, Tian Siyao finally discovered a symbol hidden behind the wall.

“This is an entrance.” She pointed to a symbol on the wall.

She then gestured for the two men to follow her to the wall.

After Tian Siyao's analysis, the wall silently slid open, revealing a deep passage.

The faint light filtering through the passage made the three of them tense.

They exchanged glances and moved closer together in tacit understanding.

Tian Siyao took out a small flashlight and turned on only a dim light to avoid attracting too much attention.

The three entered the passage silently and moved forward step by step.

A somber atmosphere filled the air, seemingly foreshadowing the mysterious dangers hidden within the labyrinth.

They encountered several forks in the road along the way.

But thanks to her insight and understanding of symbols, Tian Siyao always manages to choose the right path.

Chen Ze gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, remaining vigilant and ready to deal with any potential threats at any time.

Qin Miyue and Tian Siyao walked along the path in Lotus Village, carefully observing their surroundings.

The residents on the street looked tense, their eyes revealing panic and unease.

"Sister Qin, it seems something has happened here."

Tian Siyao frowned.

She noticed an elderly woman sitting trembling by the doorway, tears streaming down her face.

Qin Miyue nodded. "Yes, we need to find the village chief and find out what happened."

Chen Ze followed closely behind the two, keenly sensing the anxious atmosphere among the surrounding residents.

He quickened his pace. "Let's find the village chief quickly, we still have a mission to complete."

After passing several intersections, they finally found Guiyue, the village chief of Lianhua Village.

"Village Chief, what has happened recently? Why is everyone so panicked?" Qin Miyue asked directly.

Guiyue looked at the strange symbols worn by the three people, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to tell them the truth.

"Recently, several deaths have occurred in our village."

“Strange symbols appeared on the deceased’s body, and everyone is afraid that disaster will befall them.” Tian Siyao showed a concerned expression. “We are here to investigate a sacrificial site. Perhaps we can help you solve this problem.”

Chen Ze gripped the hilt of his sword and stared at the village chief.

He knew time was of the essence, and if this problem wasn't resolved, it could affect their journey to the Duoyun Altar.

"Please tell us the details, and we will do our best to help you."

Guiyue nodded gratefully, "Young people, please help us find the person behind this."

“Recently, a mysterious person has been selling sacrificial items in the village and frequently sneaks into ancient tombs.”

“I suspect he is involved in these deaths.”

Qin Miyue frowned slightly. "Ancient tomb dealer? You mean Mu Wuling?"

Guiyue looked at Qin Miyue in surprise, "You know him?"

Tian Siyao touched her lips with her finger. "It seems his whereabouts are somewhat suspicious."

Chen Ze frowned and gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

"Since he is connected to the deaths, we must find him and resolve this issue as soon as possible."

Qin Miyue, Tian Siyao, and Chen Ze exchanged glances, their unwavering resolve evident in each other.

They were determined to uncover the truth behind it and eradicate this mystery from Lotus Village.

Qin Miyue, Tian Siyao, and Chen Ze entered the home of the village chief of Lianhua Village.

The room was dark and cold. There were bowls of water and food on the table, but almost no one had touched them.

Village Chief Guiyue sat by the bed, watching them with a worried expression.

Qin Miyue squatted down and asked softly, "Village Chief, please tell us the details."

Guiyue shakily pulled a strange piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Qin Miyue.

The note was covered with unknown words and symbols, making it look very mysterious.

"I was the first to discover this problem."

Her voice was low and trembling, “Not long ago, I discovered that several residents named Huang Hua and Wang Bo had suddenly died.”

“The deceased all had these symbols on their bodies.”

She pointed to the words on the note, "I immediately sensed something was wrong and gathered everyone in the village together."

Tian Siyao took the note, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

“These words and symbols are not common, but I have studied some guidebooks and may be able to find some clues.”

She opened her backpack, took out an old book, and began to read it.

Seeing Tian Siyao's busy figure, the village chief Guiyue felt a little relieved.

She continued to describe to Qin Miyue and Chen Ze: "These past few days, the villagers have become quite nervous."

“Every night we rush to lock our doors, fearing that the same fate as the deceased might befall us.”

Chen Ze stood aside, silently observing the expressions and actions of Village Chief Guiyue.

He noticed that in the description of the deaths...

Guiyue's face seemed to tremble strangely, as if she was hiding something.

"Village chief, has anyone else witnessed a similar incident?" Chen Ze asked in a deliberately indifferent tone.

Guiyue frowned subconsciously. "No one else saw these events happen except for me."

“People either hear about these symbols or only discover them after the person has passed away.”

Don't you think that's strange?

Chen Ze deliberately raised his voice, "If the incident is so tense, why are you the only one who saw it?"

Guiyue quickly waved her hand, looking at Chen Ze in horror.

"I...I don't know why either."

Qin Miyue gently patted Guiyue's hand, signaling her to calm down.

She knew she couldn't frighten the village chief; she had to instill a sense of trust in him. (End of Chapter)
