The tomb chamber was soon brightly lit.
Guan Yunchuan lit all the merman oil lamps hanging on the wall.
Only when the firelight ignited did the fear in everyone's hearts dissipate.
The tomb was very large, yet Sheng Ning and his large group only occupied a small corner of it.
Sheng Ning was standing in the very center of the tomb chamber, with a deep pit behind her leading into the 'Shangri-La'.
In front of him was a stone coffin of the simplest design.
"Such a large tomb chamber, and only such a small stone coffin, isn't that a bit too extravagant?" Yu Ye muttered to himself as he walked towards the stone coffin.
“Master Kongwu and the others have circled around this place many times, but they still haven’t found the exit. Junior Sister, why don’t you bombard these stone walls again with cannons?” Guan Yunchuan frowned as he observed his surroundings.
"It's said that there are totems displayed in the Northern Secret Realm. Could this person be the guardian of the totem?" Xie Wenxuan speculated.
"Dead people can protect totems? Don't be ridiculous." Qu Zhengqing had barely finished speaking when he was slapped hard on the head by the person behind him.
When he turned around, he found that there was no one else behind him except Qin Chuan.
Qu Zhengqing was speechless at how his senior brother was always going against him. He frowned and complained softly, "Senior brother, did I say something wrong? Why did you hit me?"
Qin Chuan looked up at him upon hearing this, and said, "I didn't do anything."
"Liar! You clearly slapped me on the back of the head just now!"
Qu Zhengqing glared angrily at the person in front of him. He raised his hand and touched the back of his head. After touching something sticky, his resentful expression instantly turned into fear.
Qin Chuan took in his every move and, noticing the sudden look of fear on his face, asked, "What's wrong?"
Just a moment ago, Qu Zhengqing was complaining that Qin Chuan was truly a traitor.
The next moment, he looked several years younger and was instantly terrified.
He spread his sticky hands in front of him, and when he saw the red in his palm, he was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he fell straight down.
Qin Chuan glanced down at him, then walked around his fallen body and headed toward the stone coffin.
In his palm, a deliberately made cut was slowly healing.
Sheng Ning and his group surrounded the stone coffin, making it impossible for anyone to pass through.
Guan Yunchuan held the Gatling gun and gently touched the muzzle above the stone coffin, then looked up at his junior sister.
"Why don't we just pry it open and see what's inside?"
The tomb was empty. Apart from the mermaid oil lamps hanging on the four walls and the stone coffin placed in the center of the tomb, there was nothing else in the entire tomb.
In addition, Qi Wenyao and Kong Wu had been wandering around here for a long time without finding an exit.
Guan Yunchuan continued, "Perhaps the exit is right under the stone coffin."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an also placed his hand on the stone coffin. "Why don't we push the stone coffin aside first and see if there are any mechanisms underneath?"
These kinds of places usually have government offices or something similar.
What if opening the sarcophagus triggers some kind of mechanism...?
Xie Wenxuan immediately thought of the stone sphere and those ghost spiders...
A chill ran down his spine, and he said with lingering fear, "Let's not do it. I think it would be more convenient for Fellow Daoist Sheng to just blast the stone wall."
Ye Si had never seen such a slow-moving human race.
A fireball the size of a palm bounced up and down on the stone coffin. "What are you afraid of? Just open it. At worst, we'll all die together."
Yu, standing to the side, scoffed, "Everyone die together? You've already died once, so you expect everyone to die with you?"
Ye Si, whose little scheme had been seen through, felt no embarrassment whatsoever. "So what? You guys are always hesitating and indecisive."
"Don't wait until everyone else has found the totem while you're still here debating whether or not to open the coffin."
Sarcastic words rang in everyone's ears.
Sheng Ning glanced down at Ye Si, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "Since that's the case, then let you do it."
Ye Si was still looking down on the cowardice of the person in front of him when he heard Sheng Ning say that he was to open the coffin. He immediately widened his eyes and said, "How can a little fireball like me open a coffin?!"
But then Sheng Ning stretched out his finger and injected a certain amount of spiritual power into his body. Suddenly, the color of the fireball in front of everyone changed from dark blue to deep blue.
It wasn't until Sheng Ning withdrew her finger and spoke again that everyone came to their senses.
"How about it? Don't you feel incredibly powerful right now, like you could move the whole world with just a lever?"
Ye Si didn't understand what it meant to "give a lever and you can move the whole earth".
He is now brimming with power.
He glanced down at the stone coffin beneath him, and when he looked up, the disdain in his eyes deepened.
"If you want me to open the coffin, I'll just do it. Wouldn't that make me lose face?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning knew that his arrogant and haughty nature had resurfaced.
A faint smile played on her lips as she placed her hands on the surface of the stone coffin and spoke softly to the fireball before her.
"If the Evil Emperor doesn't want to fight, that's fine. After all, you don't need too much spiritual power to maintain your form, so I can only take back all the spiritual power from your body."
The moment she finished speaking, Ye Si's expression changed again.
He gave a soft snort and said, "Sheng Ning, you always use these things to threaten me."
"If I weren't now dependent on you, would you think you're so great?"
"If you say another bad word about my junior sister, I'll kill you!"
As soon as Ye Si finished speaking, before Sheng Ning could answer, Guan Yunchuan's voice rang in his ears.
He turned around at the sound and saw that Su Daiyuan and the other four members of the Invincible Sect were each holding a laser cannon.
All five laser cannons were aimed at him.
Nightclub: "...You guys just bully the few with the many! I'll drive! I'll drive, okay?"
Taking a deep breath, Ye Si glanced at the crowd surrounding the stone coffin and said in a deep voice, "Aren't you going to stand further away?"
"If the mechanism is triggered after the stone coffin is opened later, it's not my problem."
His reminder caused everyone to take a few steps back.
Once everyone had left, leaving only Sheng Ning and Ye Si beside the stone coffin, the latter looked up at the person next to her, "You..."
"If you can't open it later, I can lend you a hand."
There's an old saying that goes, "You can't hit someone who's smiling."
Sheng Ning always speaks with a smile.
Ye Si's arrogant and sarcastic tone was like child's play to her; she could completely control him.
Now I hear her say she'll be there to help me.
Ye Si felt a mix of emotions. After a moment of reflection, he said no more and used his spiritual power to make a move to push open the stone coffin.
Sheng Ning stood to the side, watching as the stone coffin was slowly pushed open, when a strange voice suddenly rang in her mind.
At the same time, Ye Si had already pushed the stone coffin open by a third, revealing the face of the 'person' lying inside.
