"This is Si Yiqi's tomb..."

Standing atop the towering mountain peak, Qingyu looked down.

At the summit of this snow-capped mountain lies a vast celestial lake.

Tianchi Lake, hundreds of meters in diameter, lies quietly nestled in the embrace of the surrounding peaks, like the purest mirror between heaven and earth.

All around, wisps of steam rose gently, swirling and lingering like a veil in a fairyland.

In the morning light or at dusk, these water vapors add a touch of hazy beauty.

After traveling day and night for several days, Qingyu finally arrived at the location marked on the ancient scroll.

This place is called Shengchi Mountain.

According to the ancient scroll, the Heavenly Pool on this mountaintop is the tomb of Si Yiqi, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Long Kingdom.

"According to the man in black, today is the day the tomb will open."

Qingyu gazed silently down below, her spiritual energy surging, a murderous intent flashing in her eyes, as she recalled what the other party had said back then.

"Si Yiqi's tomb will not open for another five days, and many competitors will enter at that time."

“Chai Yanchen…”

Qingyu clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles cracking.

"Once I successfully obtain the inheritance, I will definitely settle accounts with you."

Just then, a deep voice rang out from afar.

"Is that Fairy Qingyu from Jianping Mountain over there?"

"Um?"

Qingyu's gaze was sharp as she looked up.

In the opposite direction of Tianchi Lake, diagonally in front, there seems to be a burly figure amidst the misty water.

The spiritual sense expanded instantly, but was blocked by another spiritual sense halfway through its progress.

The two spiritual energies collided, and Qingyu frowned slightly. The person opposite her was not weak, and the strength of their spiritual energy was not much inferior to hers.

Hahaha~~

"Fairy Qingyu, don't be nervous. We have come here for the same purpose: to inherit Si Yiqi's legacy."

"If we fight each other now, we will both be injured in the end, which will allow others to reap the benefits."

"The tomb will open in no time. It's not too late to fight after we enter the tomb."

Hearing the other party's shout, Qingyu nodded slightly and then put away the short blade in her hand.

Although I don't know the other person's identity, these words still make a lot of sense.

She looked up and saw that the fog was getting thicker, completely enveloping the area around Tianchi Lake. As far as the eye could see, everything was a vast expanse of white.

Who knows how many more people are lurking in the shadows as they enter Si Yiqi's tomb?

Qingyu let out a long breath, then closed her eyes, calmed herself, and waited for the tomb to open.

Before long, changes occurred in the Heavenly Lake below.

Suddenly, the water boiled and surged, like a roaring beast stirring up thousands of piles of snow.

Qingyu suddenly opened her eyes.

"It's activated!!"

Immediately afterwards, an irresistible force erupted from the depths of Tianchi Lake.

The water surged down like a cascading silver river, crashing against the surrounding rocks and trees with a deafening roar, forming spectacular waterfalls with billowing mist that blotted out the sky.

As the water surged, the ground at the edge of Tianchi Lake began to tremble.

The cracks quietly appeared and gradually widened, like the mouth of the earth slowly opening, swallowing all the sounds and light around it.

The enormous, pitch-black entrance suddenly opened with a roar, shimmering with eerie light and swirling with mist.

Before Qingyu could make a move, figures darted out from the mist surrounding the Heavenly Pool and jumped directly into the open entrance.

There were more than a dozen people.

Qingyu glanced around and saw more than a dozen figures.

Because the other party was moving very fast, she couldn't see clearly whether Chai Yanchen was among them, but she assumed he was.

Without further hesitation, Qingyu's figure flashed, and she quickly jumped into the entrance.

After a while, it seemed that everyone had entered, and the area around Tianchi Lake returned to calm.

Then, groups of dark figures began to emerge from the forest, eventually transforming into people dressed in black.

There were six people in total, all wearing face shields and covering their bodies with black robes, and they all looked the same.

The six people stood at the six directions of the entrance to Tianchi, surrounding the Tianchi, which was several hundred meters in diameter.

"Leng Chan, is your Heavenly Poppy Hall really so unruly?"

One of the men in black spoke, glancing at another man in black diagonally opposite him.

The one who spoke was the same person who had saved Qingyu earlier, Lin Youyou's subordinate.

"Ha, I have no idea what you're talking about."

The man in black, named Leng Chan, spoke calmly, and a clear, cold female voice came from beneath his mask.

"Daring to do something but not daring to admit it, that's truly the consistent style of your Tianying Hall."

"If Chai Yanchen is truly capable, he should be the first to obtain the inheritance. Why resort to underhanded tactics? Does he really think the Hall Master wouldn't dare to kill someone?"

"snort."

Leng Chan gave a soft snort and then fell silent.

Clearly, Chai Yanchen had already broken the rules by acting on his own.

On the other side, another man in black spoke in a low voice.

"You guys are really lucky to have found such good talents as Qingyu and Chai Yanchen."

"Unlike our few branches, we can only pick more second- or third-rate people to fill the quota."

These words made the other men in black feel uneasy.

"You don't need to say that. Whether they can obtain the inheritance depends on their own fate."

After that, everyone fell silent, simply gazing at the entrance without uttering a word.

…… ……

Meanwhile, Yun Si Ning looked at the screen in front of her with a very interesting expression.

"A small world has been discovered: the Land of Lust, the Tomb of Si Yiqi."

"Unlock hidden mission: forcefully steal the first kiss of your loved one; success will complete the mission."
