Chapter 858: Chapter 852 Identical Ancient Tomb

But that old face, which had cultivated for more than eighty years, was not something that two young maidens could outdo with their scolding, no matter how much they cursed to the skies, it seemed as if he heard nothing.

Gui Yunxi couldn’t stand it any longer and said to Yu Jizi ahead, "Senior, please say something, these two ancestors..."

Yu Jizi hadn’t said anything when he was cursed in return.

"Gui Yunxi, are you seeking death? Believe it or not, I could poison you into a mute."

"Driver, whose side are you on? If not relying on you to help vent our anger, you shouldn’t be helping that old immortal speak either!"

Over there, Yu Jizi just laughed and said, "I’ve lived for decades, and there have been many who cursed me behind my back, perhaps even more vulgarly than they do, but no one has ever dared to curse me to my face. This is good too; it lets me know what those people used to say about me."

Gu Youyou: "..."

Searcy: "..."

Gui Yunxi: "..." Truly an old immortal’s perversity, to find amusement in being cursed?

Having no idea how long they had walked, the people in front finally stopped.

Gu Youyou listened quietly, not knowing what Yu Jizi was doing. The noise sounded like the rumble of large, ancient machinery.

When those sounds stopped, they had their ropes pulled again, entering a colder place.

Gu Youyou listened carefully, sensing with her body.

From the echo of their voices and that moldy smell, she guessed they had entered a passage, and one that hadn’t been opened for many years at that.

She had no idea what this eerie place could be.

After a while, Yu Jizi finally stopped.

Gu Youyou felt him drop the rope, then walk forward a few steps, and after a while, she heard the click of something being turned; then a heavy stone door opened.

Voices came from inside, both men and women.

Seemingly spotting Yu Jizi, everyone quieted down, with a few men calling out "Master" to Yu Jizi.

Yu Jizi hummed in acknowledgment but did not respond further. Gu Youyou and the others were pushed inside, and then the heavy stone door automatically closed behind them.

Only then were they allowed to remove the black cloth that had covered their faces.

Having not seen light for a long time, their eyes felt gritty.

Gu Youyou opened her eyes, only to be stunned by what she saw.

Not to mention the people inside, the place itself was all too familiar to her.

Wasn’t this the ancient tomb behind Lotus Village, complete with the coffin in the center?

No wonder she had felt a sense of familiarity earlier.

But that couldn’t be right!

Gu Youyou was very clear; that ancient tomb had long been destroyed, and the entire hill had collapsed. This place couldn’t possibly be that tomb.

It wasn’t that tomb, yet it was built exactly the same; what was going on here?

Inside the ancient tomb were five cowardly women and four men in black.

One of them was Zhuo Qing, whom they hadn’t seen for a long time.

Over there, Gui Yunxi, who was but a humble commoner, was already petrified, staring wide-eyed at the large coffin in the middle.

He spoke through chattering teeth, "Master... This is an ancient tomb, isn’t it?"

"Correct!" said Yu Jizi indifferently.

Searcy whispered into Gu Youyou’s ear, "What does he want by bringing us to this ancient tomb?"

Gu Youyou’s face turned deathly pale as she shook her head in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Yu Jizi was giving instructions to his disciples, "Zhuo Qing, keep an eye on them."

"Yes, Master."

Yu Jizi hummed in acknowledgment, then cast a meaningful glance at Gu Youyou and the other two before turning and walking toward the ancient tomb’s stone door.

The stone door, just like the one at the ancient tomb where Gu Youyou had been before, opened by itself when a leaf from the Promortal Divine Tree was pressed.
