After walking for a while, Tang Li and the others realized that Qi Lingxuan did not follow them.
Tang Li asked Qi Yihan, “Should we go back and look for him?”
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Qing immediately stared at the two of them. He hoped that they wouldn’t look for him.
Qi Yihan thought for a moment and said, “No need. He’s too conceited. It’s good to let him suffer some pain.”
Tang Li nodded and they continued walking forward.
With Qi Yihan’s detector, they arrived near the town in a few hours.
It was spacious outside the town.
Xuanyuan Qing held the flashlight and turned it on, but the light did not reach the end. The spacious cave was supported entirely by stone pillars.
Xuanyuan Qing studied it for a while and said with certainty, “This place doesn’t belong to the Xuanyuan King’s tomb.”
Tang Li and Qi Yihan looked at each other.
Qi Yihan guessed, “If it doesn’t belong to the Xuanyuan King’s tomb, this should belong to the tomb of another unknown emperor.”
“It’s very likely. Besides, this village was teleported here because of the power of that witch.” Speaking of the witch, Tang Li snorted. “How dare she call herself a witch? If she’s a witch, I’m a fairy.”
These words made Linlin giggle. As she laughed, she said, “If Godmother is a fairy, then I’ll be a little fairy.”
Looking at the two girls who were bragging, Qi Yihan raised his hand to touch Tang Li’s head and then Linlin’s head. He smiled and said, “Yes, you’re both fairies.”
Tang Li and Linlin were both happy and smiled.
Xuanyuan Qing was surprised.
It turned out that Master Tang was just a little girl in front of Fourth Master!
After laughing, Tang Li said seriously, “Since that witch said that she would make the town disappear from this world, I think we are not in an actual tomb and it doesn’t have an exit.”
“If there’s no exit, we can only bring villagers out from the Xuanyuan Tomb.” Qi Yihan asked Tang Li, “Can you bring all of them out?”
“Yes.” Tang Li nodded. “I can hypnotize them and make them follow me. But…”
At this point, Tang Li frowned. “There are too many people. If we hypnotize them all, we have to watch them carefully. We can’t let the zombies and the bugs touch them.”
Qi Yihan and Xuanyuan Qing frowned at the same time.
Qi Yihan thought for a moment and said, “Then we can give the villagers a lesson beforehand. When we go back later, you can let them experience how terrifying the tomb is. That way, these people will be obedient.”
Tang Li thought that made sense, so she nodded.
They headed inside.
Because the entire town was moved, most of the houses had collapsed. Inside, there were broken beams and walls everywhere.
The few of them quickly walked towards the house where Tang Li and the others were staying before.
After walking for a while, Tang Li suddenly asked them to stop.
Qi Yihan asked, “What’s wrong?”
Tang Li said, “I want to take a look at the memorial archway in this town.”
Qi Yihan nodded and they walked towards the ancestral hall.
Outside the ancestral hall, Tang LI looked at the fallen memorial archway and said with a smile, “That witch actually did a good thing.”
They all looked at her.
Tang Li pointed at the memorial archway in front of her and said, “These memorial archways are the shackles of the women in this town. They trap the souls of many women. Now, with these memorial archways gone, all the vengeful souls suppressed under the memorial archway will be free.”
After saying that, Tang Li took out a talisman and threw it in the air before it was ignited.
As soon as the talisman was ignited, it emitted spots of fluorescent light from the collapsed memorial archways.
Tang Li began to chant the incantation. After a while, she said, “Everyone, go and reincarnate.”
After saving the trapped souls, they walked on.
At this moment, Butler Yang and a few masters were already waiting for Tang Li and the others.
When they saw them return, they all gathered around.
“Master Tang, you’re finally back.”
“We were about to go out and look for you.”
Tang Li said. “We encountered a group of tomb raiders on the way, so we were delayed.”
These words made the group of people look surprised, then excited.
“Master Tang, did you guys reach the Xuanyuan Tomb?”
“It’s said that the Xuanyuan Tomb will move once every few years. Other than the Xuanyuan family, no one can find it. I didn’t expect you to accidentally find it.”
After saying that, they looked at Xuanyuan Qing.
Tang Li introduced him to them. “This is Xuanyuan Qing, the descendant of the Xuanyuan King.”
“No wonder.”
Qi Yihan said, “It seems that there are really two tombs next to each other. I wonder which king this tomb belongs to.”
“We don’t know,” Xu Guanhai said. “Although we found some murals inside, these murals are different from what we know. Moreover, this tomb was protected by many mystic spells. If we’re not careful, we can get lost easily.”
“Could this be the tomb of some Mystic Master?”
“No. From the mural, the tomb owner doesn’t seem to be a mystic master.”
After Xu Guanhai finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Qi Yihan asked Tang Li, “Do you want to explore this tomb?”
Tang Li shook her head. “No, there are too many of us. If anyone can’t get lost, I’ll have to find them. It’s too troublesome.”
The others were speechless.
Qi Yihan was amused by her words and nodded. “Alright, then forget about this tomb.”
Then he added, “Let’s go. I don’t think we can find an exit on this side.”
“Right. We’ve been looking all day and we haven’t found any exit at all.”
“Not only did we not find the exit, but we didn’t even find the main chamber.”
Tang Li nodded. “Then let’s wake all the townspeople up. However, we have to make them obedient. Otherwise, it will be troublesome.”
The Masters agreed.
Butler Yang carried his sister and followed Tang Li.
Looking at the group of townspeople who were frozen, they discussed how to make them obedient later before Tang Li woke them up.
As soon as the townspeople woke up, they panicked and started arguing.
“Quiet, all of you!”
The four masters shouted in a deep voice, and their powerful aura instantly pacified all the townspeople.
Only then did Xu Guanhai tell everyone what kind of place they were in.
In the end, he said, “Master Tang will bring everyone out later. She said that you have to do as she said. There are not only all kinds of insects that can kill people in an instant in this ancient tomb, but also thousand-year-old zombies. No matter which one you touch, you will definitely die.”
That made most of the townspeople blanch.
There were also some bold and greedy people who thought that there must be a lot of rare treasures in the ancient tomb. If they brought some out, they would be rich.
At this moment, the mayor stood up and asked, “Who is Master Tang?”
“This one.” Xu Guanhai pointed at Tang Li.
Tang Li nodded.
Unexpectedly, many people frowned in disbelief.
“Are you kidding me? How is she a master?”
“Exactly. How could such a good-looking and young woman be a master?”
“Four Masters, are you deliberately finding a young woman to fake as a master and harm us?”
Hearing that, the townspeople became even more terrified and uneasy.
Tang Li suddenly sneered, causing the noisy crowd to shut up.
Then, some people started to criticize Tang Li.
The loudest were the patriarch’s family.
However, as soon as they spoke, they suddenly couldn’t make a sound.
The people who criticized the masters and Tang Li covered their necks and looked terrified.
At this moment, Tang Li stood up and looked at them coldly. She said, “It seems that you haven’t realized that without us, you can’t walk out of here at all. You know what? Those who are willing to follow us, come over. Those who aren’t, stand there and don’t move.”
As soon as Tang Li spoke, the patriarch’s father immediately said, “Don’t listen to her. There is no way such a young woman can bring us out. Also, the masters can’t either. They just want us to clear the way for them.”
These words made many people who were about to step forward immediately retreat.
Only a few of the townspeople stepped forward. The rest either watched or didn’t believe Tang Li at all.
Seeing that most townspeople were unwilling to believe them, Tang Li sneered and said to the people, “Let’s go. Since these people are unwilling to follow us, let them fend for themselves.”
With that, she walked out of town with Qi Yihan.
The others followed suit.
The townspeople who followed Tang Li looked back every three steps. When they could no longer see the townspeople, one of them, Wang Xiaowei, was still a little reluctant to leave. He asked, “Masters, are you really going to leave the rest of them there?”
“It’s them who don’t want to leave.” Wang Chong said with displeasure, “We want to save them, but they don’t want to be saved. What can we do?”
Wang Xiaowei stopped talking.
However, when they reached the entrance of the town, they suddenly heard some blood-curdling roars from behind. The roars were sharp and ear-piercing, causing people to subconsciously flinch.
Wang Xiaowei asked with a pale face and trembling lips, “What⦠what happened?”
Tang Li said, “Previously, we used our abilities to create a protective field around this town. Now that we’re leaving, the protective field naturally lost its effect. As soon as it lost its effect, the poisonous bugs and zombies lurking around the town smelled the scent of living people and surrounded them. The roars just now came from the zombie king.”
These words made the townspeople tremble in fear.
At the same time, they were afraid and worried.
“What⦠what will happen to the rest of them?”
“Become food for zombies and bugs.”
