On the way here, Cao Ze had already shown them the rough map drawn by Gongsun Yu.

Although there are no detailed descriptions of the ancient tomb, its approximate location has been marked, north of a pool of water.

Cao Ze dismounted.

According to the map drawn by Gongsun Yu, the entrance to the ancient tomb is located under a pile of rocks next to a pool of water.

After they walked over, they saw a deep cave entrance among the pile of rocks.

"It's been opened."

He gave Ya Fei and Jing Ni three antidote pills each. After they took the pills, he said, "Let's go in!"

Upon entering the tomb passage, Ya Fei sensed the poisonous miasma floating in all directions, and she felt somewhat worried.

The Snow Woman and her companions didn't have any antidotes, what if...

Ya Fei dared not think any further and needed to find them as soon as possible.

Although the poisonous miasma in the tomb passage was intense, it was nothing to Yan Feiyueshen, who was at the half-step Grandmaster level. She could resist it by diverting some of her internal energy.

What puzzled the three women was that the Snow Maiden, who could project her internal energy, was not affected by the miasma. They were not surprised, but Li Ji, who had not yet opened her eight extraordinary meridians, also seemed to be unaffected. In fact, she was the most relaxed among them.

Yan Fei silently put away the antidote pills from her sleeve.

Even though she rarely traveled the martial arts world, she knew the importance of carrying plenty of money and medicine when going out.

Before long, the group passed through the passageway and arrived at an empty tomb chamber.

The room was completely empty, indicating that someone had been there.

Only one star chart, made of seashells, remained, pasted on one side of the wall where many stone chips had fallen off.

The Moon Goddess looked over and could only see that it was a star map of the Azure Dragon's Seven Mansions.

She was most proficient in the Illusion Technique, Mind Control Spell, and Soul Transformation Technique in Yin-Yang Arts, but her understanding of astrological laws was not as good as her senior sister's.

Yan Fei silently deduced that the star map on the wall was not complicated. It was based on the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions star map and the star trails formed by other stars. It should be the basic layout of the ancient tomb, as well as... the divination symbols.

The hexagram indicates misfortune.

After Yanfei deduced this result, she was somewhat alarmed.

He quickly calmed down; cemeteries have always been considered unlucky places, so this wasn't surprising.

The only thing to note is that the cemetery owner seems to be warning outsiders to enter.

Seeing Yan Fei's furrowed brows, the Moon Goddess asked, "Senior Sister, have you found it?"

It is clear that there is only an entrance and no exit here. It is a small tomb chamber designed to mislead and hide the real main tomb.

"The Qian hexagram harmonizes Yin and Yang, and involves stepping on the Dipper and walking the steps of the Big Dipper

After a long while, Yan Fei exhaled a breath of stale air and explained the results of her deduction.

“The Qian hexagram corresponds to the northwest and the position of Wuxu.”

"Stepping on the Big Dipper and following the Big Dipper, corresponding to the Big Dipper, extending to the two auxiliary stars, and the North Star Ziwei, together are called the 'Ten Steps of Heavenly Gang'."

"In other words, the entrance to the actual tomb is here."

As Cao Ze spoke, he walked to a spot ten steps to the northwest and stopped.

"Your Excellency Dongjun, am I correct?"

Ya Fei forced herself to remain calm, worried that her anxious expression would put her side at a disadvantage.

The Snow Maiden was both delighted and surprised to see Sister Yafei arrive.

Ya Fei's gaze softened, signaling to Xue Nu not to act impulsively.

The Grand Master of Fate instantly led the Snow Maiden and Li Ji to retreat behind the Moon Goddess and the Flame Consort, placing the two lords in front of him.

To avoid being snatched away by the Jingni.

The moon goddess was surrounded by a soft, ethereal aura reminiscent of a dragon in flight.

"I didn't expect you to find this place?"

Cao Ze smiled faintly: "Is it that difficult?"

Yan Fei was somewhat surprised that Cao Ze had come looking for her, but it also seemed to make sense. She figured that the things here had been taken away by Gongsun Yu or the royal family of Wei.

"Mr. Cao Ze, we..."

She was not good with words to begin with, and when dealing with her junior sister, she always followed the principle of taking action if possible. Faced with this situation, she was somewhat at a loss.

Cao Ze said, "Your Excellency Dongjun, there's no need to explain. Release Xue Nu and Li Ji for now."

The Moon Goddess sneered, "Releasing them is fine, but we'll release them once we get what we need."

Jing Ni held the Jing Ni Sword, drawing it back but not releasing it, waiting for the right opportunity.

Ya Fei was furious. She never expected the kidnappers to be members of the Yin-Yang School. She should have swindled more gold coins from them back then.

Cao Ze didn't even look at the Moon Goddess, and said to Yan Fei, "What do you think?"

Yan Fei took a light breath and said, "We are here on orders, please don't make things difficult for me. Once we find what we need, we will naturally let them leave."

Cao Ze nodded. "Okay, let's look for it together."

Yan Fei's face showed surprise; she hadn't expected Cao Ze to trust her so easily.

"it is good."

The two reached a pleasant consensus, leaving Ya Fei, Xue Nu, and the others astonished.

The Moon Goddess secretly curled her lip.

Wow, this is unbelievable, they really do look like a married couple.

Da Siming silently equated Cao Ze with someone she couldn't mess with. It was the first time she'd ever seen her boss be so easy to talk to, especially towards a man who could potentially be an enemy.

It's even more exaggerated than when we were in Handan.

After all, there were no conflicts back then, but now, a disagreement could easily escalate into a fight.

Yanfei said to the Moon Goddess, "Junior Sister, you open the entrance."

The Moon Goddess didn't want to argue with her senior sister in front of outsiders.

She formed a mudra with her hands and softly chanted: "Water is yin, earth is yang. When yin prevails over yang, water dripping wears away stone."

Cao Ze stepped back.

Jing Ni's eyes showed vigilance, lest the Moon Goddess take the opportunity to target Cao Ze, as this woman clearly harbored a hidden hostility towards Cao Ze.

All the people saw was the ground where Cao Ze left, which was slowly eroded into a five-foot-deep pit.

"This doesn't seem to be the entrance?" The Moon Goddess looked at Yan Fei with a playful expression.

Cao Ze sighed, "Of those who travel a hundred li, only ninety is halfway there."

Yan Fei snorted lightly, "What a waste."

"Soul, dragon, roam!"

With a single palm strike, she pierced straight through the deep pit corroded by the Moon Goddess.

As the ground trembled, a deep, dark cave entrance appeared.

The moon goddess bit her lip in frustration.

It was bad enough that Yan Fei rebuked him, but he was also ridiculed by that kid.

Chapter 204 The Movement of the Reversal

"You go first!" the Moon Goddess said slyly.

Cao Ze shook his head and chuckled: "Ladies first."

What a joke! He could tell what kind of scheme the Moon Goddess was up to with a flick of his toe.

He was the one who would stab the Moon Goddess in the back; he would never give her the chance to betray him.

Within a few breaths, Cao Ze and the Moon Goddess started arguing.

The Moon Goddess's tongue has been honed over many years, and her sarcastic and eccentric remarks are now masterful.

"You're the only man here, how can you let a woman go first?"

Cao Ze chuckled; his sister-in-law's mouth was always so eloquent.

"You're only a half-step Grandmaster, yet you're so much stronger than me. How come you're not advanced?"

The High Priestess was enjoying her melon with great relish, wishing she could bring over a small stool to carefully watch the Moon Goddess's performance.

She had never seen the Moon Goddess at full power before.

It seems that his abilities were restricted in front of Lord Dongjun.

That's what she was thinking.

Yanfei was somewhat disgusted by her junior sister's embarrassing behavior.

"Junior Sister!"

Just as the Moon Goddess was about to unleash her sarcastic taunts on Cao Ze, she was unexpectedly betrayed by her own senior sister.

The words stuck in his throat were forced back down by his instinctive fear of his senior sister.

After realizing what had happened, the Moon Goddess felt deeply ashamed, gave a cold snort, and remained silent.

A senior sister who's so biased will eventually suffer a great loss.

She'll definitely lock her senior sister in the Yin-Yang School's prison and mock her mercilessly.

Yanfei pondered for a moment, then glanced at the Grand Master of Fate beside her, who seemed overly detached and indifferent.

"Great Master of Fate, go inside."

"Forehead……"

The Great Master of Fate, who was enjoying the gossip, never expected to be shot by an arrow.

Her delicate oval face seemed to have turned a bitter color, yet she dared not disobey Lord Dongjun's orders.
