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

"What exactly happened here?" Qin Miyue looked at the remaining black crow corpses around her and muttered to herself.

"These strange creatures appeared too suddenly."

Chen Ze sheathed his sword and frowned, saying, "Perhaps we should explore the mysteries of Xiang Shui's tomb more deeply."

Tian Siyao nodded in agreement.

They were all driven by curiosity and a desire for truth, hoping to find more clues to unravel the mystery of this incident.

They knew that they had to keep moving forward to find the answer.

In the following days, Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze actively explored the interior of Xiangshui Mausoleum.

As they descended the tomb passage, they gained a deeper and deeper understanding of this mysterious ancient tomb.

As they continued their journey, they encountered various mechanisms and puzzles.

Using her extensive knowledge and keen insight, Tian Siyao deciphered and solved some of the mysteries.

Qin Miyue continuously used magic to help them navigate through traps and dangerous areas. Tian Siyao, at this moment, could only focus entirely on the task at hand.

They passed through the dimly lit tomb passage and arrived at a huge and mysterious underground hall.

The hall is filled with ancient and intricate carvings and symbols, exuding an air of mystery and majesty.

The surrounding area emanated a powerful spiritual energy, inspiring a sense of awe.

As they were carefully observing the hall, a huge black crow suddenly flew in.

It flapped its wings, emitting a shrill and piercing cry, which brought with it a powerful surge of distorted energy.

Tian Siyao, Chen Ze, and Qin Miyue immediately got ready.

The three of them worked together seamlessly.

The black crow launched a fierce attack, but Chen Ze, protected by Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue, skillfully dodged it.

Chen Ze's sword was not drawn, yet his sword intent was already present.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "I'm sorry!"

Tian Siyao, Chen Ze, and Qin Miyue immediately stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

They discovered that it was a group of dogs standing in the distance.

Looking at the three people being harassed by the black crows, Wang Qun felt filled with guilt and regret.

"I'm so sorry."

Looking at Tian Siyao and the others, Wang Qun said, "I was forced to make that choice in the past."

"Now I deeply regret my actions, and I am willing to pay the price for my mistakes."

Tian Siyao, Chen Ze, and Qin Miyue exchanged glances, seeing the resolve in each other. They knew Wang Qun's regret was genuine, and at this crucial moment, they needed more people to help resolve their current predicament.

Tian Siyao and the other two, along with Wang Qun, nervously prepared to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise when the shadowy figure suddenly appeared.

They all felt that entering Xiangshui Mausoleum was not a smooth journey and began to suspect that there might be some kind of premeditated scheme behind it.

The shadowy figure watched them silently, a sinister aura emanating from its eyes.

He flashed a smug smile and said sarcastically, "You think you can explore Xiangshui Tomb by luring the tiger away from the mountain? You're making me laugh my head off!"

Chen Zejian frowned slightly. "We didn't use a diversionary tactic; we were simply cooperating with Wang Qun."

"Cooperation?" The shadowy figure sneered. "This Wang Qun is nothing more than a spy I sent to gather information."

Tian Siyao said coldly, "What exactly do you want? Do you think obtaining this treasure will pose a threat to you?"

The shadowy figure grinned maliciously. "This is one of the missions I've assigned here: to protect the important secrets hidden within Xiang Shui's tomb. Now, please hand over the right to explore to me immediately."

"Absolutely not!" Qin Miyue answered firmly, "We've put in so much effort, how could we give up so easily?"

The shadowy figure narrowed his eyes, a hint of disdain in his gaze. "It seems you are ants who don't know how to save yourselves."

He stretched out his long fingers, and a dark energy quietly and rapidly gathered in his palm.

Tian Siyao, Chen Ze, and Qin Miyue immediately became alert. They realized that the shadowy figure was no benevolent person and that they were now in danger.

Tian Siyao and her two companions were in a secret passage inside Xiang Shui Mausoleum. They hurried forward, their sense of urgency growing stronger.

Tian Siyao took out several photos and carefully examined each one.

Her brow furrowed as she searched diligently for clues, hoping to unravel the mystery behind Xiang Shui's tomb.

"These phenomena are all so illogical."

Hao Xiaomeng frowned and said, "We clearly took the same passage, so how did we suddenly end up here? It's like time and space have been messed up."

Tian Siyao raised her head and gazed at the mysterious passageway around her. "Perhaps this is not the actual Xiang Shui Mausoleum."

After a moment of thought, she continued, "We've been following the route on the map, but now it seems that's not accurate."

"You mean we didn't even enter the real Xiangshui Mausoleum?" Chen Ze asked in surprise.

Tian Siyao nodded. "Possibly."

"These illogical phenomena may be because we have been lured to another place."

Qin Miyue frowned. "Then what exactly happened? Why would someone want to deceive us?"

"The purpose should not be just deception."

Tian Siyao frowned and said, "There must be other motives. We need to find out the truth."

As she made her way through the dark passage, Tian Siyao tried her best to find clues.

She adjusted the camera and compared the photos she had taken with the scene.

“There are some textures on the walls here.”

Pointing to a photo, Tian Siyao said, "They look like a special kind of symbol, which should be hinting at some kind of clue."

Chen Ze and Qin Miyue also came over to observe, and they both noticed some patterns in it.

Although these symbols are obscure and subtle, they keenly sensed the information they contained.

“This might be a clue leading to the real Xiangshui Mausoleum,” Chen Ze said in a deep voice.

Tian Siyao nodded. "We must find the key to explaining all these mysteries as soon as possible."

"We can no longer be held back by the enemy."

The three continued forward, following the symbols on the wall in hopes of finding the right direction and the correct path.

But as time went on, they became increasingly aware of the danger and unease the situation was getting.

"Why is there no exit here?" Qin Miyue asked, frowning. "There should be a passage on the map."

Tian Siyao looked around and her gaze settled on a damaged spot on the wall.

She immediately went over and touched it with her hand.

"This place seems to be hidden," Tian Siyao muttered to herself. "We need to find a way to open this passage."

The three began searching for possible mechanisms or codes.

Tian Siyao carefully observed every symbol, texture, and pattern.

She tried to unravel the mystery, hoping to find a way to enter the real Xiangshui Mausoleum.

Suddenly, a shrill cry came from ahead, and the three of them changed their expressions drastically.

They looked up and saw that the black crows and mountain monkeys had found the perfect opportunity to attack them.

"We have to think of a way to deal with them!" Tian Siyao shouted.

She immediately began chanting incantations, attempting to influence the mountain monkey's behavior.

Her voice, powerful and resonant, echoed through the dark passage. (End of Chapter)
