Chapter 402: 227 The Mystery of Yunnan, the Whereabouts of the Old Heavenly Master (Please Subscribe! Vote for Monthly Tickets!)_2

They were all here because of an issue in Yunnan.

Taoist Jing Xuan said, "Supreme Heavenly Venerate, the Heavenly Master is currently cultivating at the Heavenly Master Mansion. Follow me."

So many people had come because of the situation in Yunnan.

Taoist Jing Xuan simply took everyone and let them go to the Heavenly Master Mansion to find the Heavenly Master themselves.

Outside the Heavenly Master Mansion, two gatekeeper Daoists entered to report to the Heavenly Master.

They reported that Taoist Jing Xuan had brought a group of people up the mountain to seek an audience with Qin Hao.

Qin Hao nodded, "Let them come in."

Li Qiang and Ye Jiuyun had just entered the region of Qingyun Mountain when Qin Hao had already noticed them.

When Li Qiang and Ye Jiuyun spoke with Taoist Jing Xuan earlier, Qin Hao had listened in.

Since they had all come knocking on the door,

Qin Hao nodded directly, letting them come in to speak.

They entered the Heavenly Master Mansion.

The group first paid their respects to the Heavenly Master.

Then Ye Jiuyun said, "Heavenly Master, we apologize for the disturbance, but we seek your assistance..."

Ye Jiuyun then explained the purpose of their visit.

A few years earlier, officials from Dragon Country had discovered a large tomb in the area of Yunnan.

Locally, the villagers had found some items.

These items had later been taken back to the official quarters and classified as confidential.

After some time of research, the officials grew very interested in the Yunnan region.

At the same time, they had made plans to develop and explore the mysterious tomb.

The first pioneer team set out to explore and develop the tomb five years earlier.

The plan was to successfully uncover all the secrets inside the tomb within a year.

But unfortunately, dreams are beautiful, yet reality is harsh.

The first time, they had villagers lead the team to the mysterious tomb.

They didn’t even reach the tomb’s door.

They were driven back by various fierce birds and beasts in the woods.

The fierceness and number of wild animals within the deep forests and mountains of Yunnan far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

They were not only driven back, but even lost several people.

The second time, they sought the help of local armed police to set out again; this time, the beasts in the woods were no longer a threat.

However, they only managed to locate the tomb door and descended into the mountain valleys.

Yet, just a few steps in the depths of the ravines, the team encountered a large group of strange creatures.

Creatures that were similar to humans but not human, with skin as hard as rock, and whose life or death was unknown.

Similar to zombies!

But stronger than ordinary zombies!

Impervious to blades and very difficult to kill.

They at least reached the level of Fur Zombies.

Such ghostly things were infesting the entrance of the Earth Cave, in large numbers.

Feeding on human blood, these creatures caught the official team off guard.

If it weren’t for the armed police accompanying them, they likely would have been completely annihilated there.

Even with armed police and firearms,

The team still couldn’t break through the line of those non-human creatures.

They could only return defeated again.

After all, forcing a way through would indeed result in losses even with firearms, which wouldn’t be worth it.

The third time going into Yunnan.

That’s when the team found Li Qiang’s father.

After returning for the second time, learning from the previous experiences, the new official exploration team was fully prepared.

Not only were their weapons and personnel upgraded, but they also went to Xiangxi to seek out Li Qiang’s father and several other experts.

There were experts from mainland Dragon Country and mages from Hong Kong.

Various unusual and talented individuals entered Yunnan for the third time.

This time was the smoothest of all.

With the help of these various talented individuals, the team could delve deeply into the Earth Cave of the tomb, and they stayed there for several years.

During these years, the government and the exploration team maintained contact.

Inside that mysterious ancient tomb, the members of the exploration team indeed discovered many highly valuable items.

That’s why they hadn’t returned, and the internal structure of that mysterious tomb was bizarrely large.

After all these years, they still had not fully explored it.

If things had continued like this, they would have been safe.

But the problem arose in the recent months.

The exploration team deep in Yunnan suddenly lost contact.

No matter how the government contacted_lst them, they couldn’t be reached.

Ultimately, a person from a secret technique sect who had entered with the exploration team contacted the officials.

A few days earlier, this person from the secret technique sect received a secret message from a senior member of the sect.

It explained that something had happened inside the tomb.

The exploration team was originally studying and excavating inside the fourth level of the tomb, where they unearthed a lot of highly valuable items.

After fully excavating the fourth level, the team moved to the fifth level and was translating ancient inscriptions on a stone tablet there.

They were ambushed by a subterranean Nine-headed Monster.

This kind of Nine-headed Monster could breathe fire, spout water, release thunder and lightning, creating a fiery sea and chilling winds as it passed.

It wasn’t something mortals could oppose.

Many people from the entire exploration team died, and the survivors were forced into a deep abyss and had been trapped there for a long time.

Their food and water supply was nearly depleted, and they urgently needed rescue.

Upon receiving this information, the government reassembled the team, planning to head to Yunnan for the rescue.

The monster from beneath the earth was far too powerful; even if Ye Jiuyun personally led the team, he couldn’t guarantee their safe return.

Therefore, they came to Qingyun Mountain, hoping to get the Heavenly Master’s help.

If the Heavenly Master could join the team, then they would rest assured on their journey.

After all, with the Heavenly Master’s strength evident, what are a few Nine-headed Monsters?

After hearing Ye Jiuyun’s words,

The information Ye Jiuyun had was very similar to what Li Qiang had received.

Li Qiang’s father had also informed him about an encounter with a Nine-headed Monster in the tomb.

It seemed that the tomb was indeed quite dangerous.

Ye Jiuyun looked to the Heavenly Master, waiting for his response.

Qin Hao thought for a moment.

To be honest, he wasn’t very keen on going to Yunnan.

First, this whole matter didn’t have much to do with him.

What did exploring the tomb have to do with his Qingyun Mountain?

It was a matter for the officials.

Also, the exploration team being trapped inside the tomb that urgently needed rescue was also the Dragon Country officials’ affair.

Why should he get involved for no reason?

Overall, it wasn’t much related to him.

Qin Hao then said, "Supreme Heavenly Venerate, give me one reason to go; if you can convince me, I’ll accompany you on this journey. If not, I won’t meddle in this messy affair."

If you want the Heavenly Master’s help, you should at least give a reason.

You can’t expect me to help you with every little issue.

I’m not your nanny.

Listening to the Heavenly Master say this,

Ye Jiuyun said, "According to the information we have about the tomb, there are a great number of Fur Zombies inside, at least a thousand, and possibly even more."

Ye Jiuyun’s data wasn’t groundless.

It was information provided by the first exploration team before they lost contact.

If the number weren’t so large, with the armed police’s combat power, they could have simply charged in; how could they have been forced back?

It’s just that the number was too great to handle.

Ye Jiuyun added, "Besides the large number of Fur Zombies, there’s also that unknown Nine-headed Monster inside the tomb. If that creature were to leave the tomb and enter Dragon Country’s cities along with those zombies, it would cause catastrophic loss of life. Many people would die."

Besides that, "we’ve also found this in Yunnan, which you should be very familiar with, Heavenly Master."

Ye Jiuyun took out an object and handed it to the Heavenly Master.

Qin Hao took it.

Upon seeing the object, his pupils constricted.

This item...

Old Heavenly Master?

The item Ye Jiuyun handed over was a fragment of the corner of a purple Heavenly Immortal Cave robe.

This pattern and style were the genuine purple robe of the Qingyun Mountain Heavenly Master Mansion.

In the entire Dragon Country,

Who would dare to counterfeit the Qingyun Mountain purple robe?

Probably no one would have the audacity.

In the recent decades, only two people had the right to wear this robe.

One was the current Qingyun Mountain Heavenly Master, which was Qin Hao himself.

The other was the previous Old Heavenly Master.

A few years ago, the Old Heavenly Master hastily passed the position of Qingyun Mountain Heavenly Master to Qin Hao and then left Qingyun Mountain to an unknown location.

Over the years, Qin Hao had tried to calculate where the Old Heavenly Master had gone.

But no matter how he calculated, he couldn’t figure it out.

The whereabouts of the Old Heavenly Master had become a mystery.

But now, with Ye Jiuyun presenting a fragment of the Heavenly Master’s purple robe,

It was clear evidence that the Old Heavenly Master had gone to Yunnan after leaving Qingyun Mountain.

Holding the fragment of the Heavenly Immortal Cave robe in his hand, Qin Hao sighed internally.

It seemed that for the sake of the Old Heavenly Master,

He had no choice but to go to Yunnan.
