Chapter 748: Restriction on the Fan
Wangchuan Residential Area, antiques, tea pets, and now this doll—Ye Wanxi thought these were already surprising enough.
But if he's also involved in many of the previous events, then this person is probably...
"I told myself that we simply cultivate different paths, so why the need to drive each other to extinction? Who exactly wants to exterminate whom?"
Upon hearing her words, Feng Tianyu remained silent for a moment before saying in a hoarse voice, "Demons and humans naturally cultivate different paths."
Ye Wanxi suddenly turned to look at him: "You mean..."
Feng Tianyu lowered his eyes slightly, avoiding Ye Wanxi's gaze: "Back then, in order to kill Wu Yequan, I studied the demonic arts he practiced."
Ye Wanxi was taken aback: "Then..."
"The demonic arts he cultivates are extremely advanced. Eight or nine out of ten who become demons have rather dark and deep minds, and most of them have the blood, lives, and karma of many innocent people on their hands. Demon Lords are especially like this. Therefore, their cultivation is more difficult than that of ordinary people, and the heavenly lightning punishment they suffer when undergoing tribulation is a hundred times more severe than that of ordinary cultivators."
"It is said that there was once a demon lord who, because of his many sins in the past, attracted a hundred bolts of lightning when he was advancing in his cultivation, and was turned into ashes."
Ye Wanxi looked surprised: "Is that so?"
"It does sound unbelievable, but after checking, I found it to be true. Since then, every king of the Demon Realm has secretly searched for a way to deceive the heavens and avoid the tribulation lightning while cultivating, but unfortunately, they have always had little success. Until Wu Yequan..."
"What did he do?"
"He devised many methods to seize the fortune and merit of virtuous and successful people and use them for his own purposes."
Ye Wanxi's heart skipped a beat. This action was quite similar to many things she had encountered before.
“If this person is really related to Wu Yequan, it would be reasonable for him to learn Wu Yequan’s skills and study his actions back then.”
“We can’t let him continue like this. Before he left, he told me that this was just the beginning. He’s done so many bad things, it’s not enough, he must have done other things we don’t know about. He also said we’d meet again, as if he knew we’d run into each other again. Why is he so confident? Is there something behind him…”
The answer is undoubtedly yes, but unfortunately, the people in the shadows are in the open while the people in the shadows are out in the open, and the clues are pitifully few. Even if they wanted to investigate, they had no way to do so, which is truly frustrating.
Ye Wanxi let out a long breath, and her gaze suddenly met Feng Tianyu's cartoon casual clothes, and her eyes widened instantly.
Previously preoccupied with various matters, she hadn't noticed it. Now, having calmed down, Ye Wanxi's eyes lit up with interest upon seeing the outfit.
But soon, she wiped the smile off her face and said seriously, "I haven't settled accounts with you yet! Tell me, where did you go when I couldn't reach you before? Don't tell me you went on a business trip. I've already called Mr. Guan to confirm, and you don't have anything particularly important to do that requires you to go on a business trip recently."
“You left suddenly that day, only mentioning it to him beforehand so that he wouldn’t have to call the police to look for you because he couldn’t find you. You didn’t mention anything else. You must have gone to do something shady.”
Feng Tianyu choked for a moment, secretly making a mental note of the person who betrayed him.
At that time, a secretary who was forced to work overtime because someone skipped work at will couldn't help but sneeze loudly, looking haggard and resentful.
He wanted to take a vacation, go home, and have a sweet romance; he couldn't take it anymore.
Feng Tianyu froze for a moment, then, thinking of the coveted "trophy" he had brought back not long ago, he decided not to continue hiding it.
"I went to explore the tomb with the people organized by Xiao Jihui."
"Tomb raiding?" Ye Wanxi blinked. "What are you going to do tomb raiding?"
Generally speaking, there are only two types of people who explore tombs: archaeologists and tomb raiders.
The former's pursuit of academic research is understandable, while the latter's pursuit of money can be seen as disturbing the deceased in some ways, and in most cases, it involves cause and effect.
Even if one could make a fortune from burial goods, one would inevitably have to pay it all back little by little, and in severe cases, it could even implicate one's family.
Ye Wanxi didn't think her senior brother would be so bored as to disturb the deceased's peace, especially since, according to him, the team leader was from Xiao Jihui's side.
"Whose grave did you visit?"
Feng Tianyu considered his words carefully and said in a deep voice, "That is an empty tomb."
"An empty tomb?"
"Xiao Jihui's people found that the ancient paintings, tea pets, and even the items that the people who got into trouble later selected from the sales list of that jade shop bought from the boutique were mostly burial objects, and most likely came from the same tomb."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi finally understood: "So, you went to look for that tomb?"
“Hmm.” Feng Tianyu nodded. “Xiao Jihui quickly selected several recently discovered ancient tombs and decided to try them one by one. I was worried that this tomb was related to Wu Yequan, so I went with him. The first tomb was fine, but the second one we went to that day had its signal blocked as soon as we entered.”
Feng Tianyu briefly recounted his experiences inside. Ye Wanxi listened with trepidation. On one hand, she didn't want her senior brother to be in danger, but on the other hand, she was glad that Feng Tianyu had gone with them. Otherwise, they would have all been wiped out and died inside.
"I led them into the main burial chamber, where eight large chests filled with funerary objects were placed. These objects, like the previous ones, were tainted with the decaying aura of corpses and demonic energy. Wearing them would worsen one's luck and health. I warned them, but unfortunately..."
Ye Wanxi's expression darkened slightly. Faced with the temptation of wealth, not everyone can stay true to themselves.
Even knowing that these things are unlucky and may bring disaster upon oneself, desire can still overcome reason.
Or perhaps they are simply clinging to a sliver of hope, believing they won't be so unlucky, and that even if something goes wrong, someone will surely help them.
“I broke open the coffin in the main burial chamber. There were no corpses inside, only one thing.”
"What?"
Feng Tianyu didn't say anything, but instead took out the box containing the contents.
"The Universe Fan?"
Ye Wanxi's expression changed slightly. She reached out to take the fan, but was stopped by Feng Tianyu before she could touch it.
"This fan has been placed under a restriction."
Ye Wanxi was stunned. Upon closer inspection, she realized that there was indeed a restriction on this thing.
If Feng Tianyu hadn't reminded her, she might have already touched the restriction with that outstretched hand.
As a result, either she gets hurt, or the fan destroys itself!
