“How could that be? Merfolk have a very high status among the sea creatures,” Wu Liang explained. “This is oil from a giant whale in the deep sea, which is extremely precious even among the sea creatures. If I’m not mistaken, it should be a special tribute from the sea creatures to the Demon Emperor.”
“You really know a lot.” Zuan glanced at him in surprise.
"Hehe, this is how you make a living." Wu Liang had a hint of smugness on his face.
After walking a while longer, the group noticed various murals on the surrounding walls. Calling them murals wasn't quite right; they seemed to have been carved on them using a special method.
The content inside is vast, seemingly describing some kind of war, or a battle with terrifying beasts.
Wu Liang explained, "These descriptions depict the triumphant deeds of the demon emperors throughout history, inspiring future generations to admire their great achievements."
Yun Jianyue glanced at him sideways: "You seem to know this place very well, so this probably isn't your first time here, is it?"
"No, no, I just did a lot of research beforehand. After all, coming to the imperial tombs is an extremely dangerous thing, so I investigated everything I could," Wu Liang explained sincerely.

The tokens given to them by the Little Demon Queen can only deal with the killing formations outside the imperial tomb; they are useless against the formations inside the imperial tomb.

The group continued deeper into the area until they reached a fork in the road. Wu Liang pointed straight ahead and said, "The Golden Crow Prince should be undergoing trials for the Demon Emperors of past generations right here."
“Then let’s go this way.” Zuan directly chose another path.
Wu Liang was clearly surprised: "So you weren't here for him? Or are you here for the imperial tomb's treasures like me?"
"What treasure?" The group stared at him intently.
