Running A Cemetery in North America-Chapter 382 - 258: Each Person’s Tomb Guardian
"Interesting." Lin Yunzhong smiled meaningfully.
Led by Zhou Mangmang, Sun Yan and a few others walked out of the elevator and proceeded along the corridor towards the end.
Looking out through the railing of the corridor, the city streets outside the building could be seen.
The ground was covered with white fog, with no hint of light, completely shrouded in darkness.
"This shouldn’t be Wenyang City anymore, we’ve succeeded." Zhou Mangmang nodded, a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Next, we should look for the missing Kongtong Sect disciple." Li Lang looked at Sun Yan and the others and asked, "Do you have any ideas? Should we split up, one group to search for the missing person, another to find the Ghost Gate?"
"Let’s stay together, no one knows what dangers might be lurking in this Land of the Profane, splitting up could be risky," Sun Yan voiced.
He had witnessed the dangers of the Land of the Profane many times, and it was definitely not something a Tomb Guardian could easily handle.
Especially since this was a Five-Star mission, even someone like Sun Yan, with three Tomb Guardians, dared not underestimate the hidden dangers.
Thus, preserving the strength within the team should be the top priority.
"I also think it’s safer this way. Let’s first explore the surroundings and see if we can find any traces left by the Kongtong Sect disciple." Zhou Mangmang nodded in agreement.
The Land of the Profane, similar to a parallel dimension, once it appears, if ordinary people accidentally enter, they could be trapped forever.
This causes significant harm because official personnel would often dispatch relevant individuals to handle the situation as soon as a Land of the Profane appeared somewhere.
As a well-known presence in the country, the Kongtong Sect naturally had the duty of handling these lands.
But this time, even a disciple of the Kongtong Sect fell into trouble there, indicating the existence of something in the Land of the Profane that even the Kongtong Sect’s methods couldn’t handle.
Sun Yan and his group immediately began searching, floor by floor.
"It seems there’s no one living here, not even a sound."
"It’s the Land of the Profane, brother. How could there be any living people here?"
In the corridor, Li Bo and Lin Yunzhong chatted, when suddenly a loud noise came from a nearby room.
The sound immediately caught everyone’s attention. Before they could react, they saw a dark shadow burst through the window, attacking Li Lang, who was closest to the window.
"Courting death!"
Li Lang was not the least bit panicked; instead, he scolded, and suddenly a multicolored feather fan appeared in his hand.
The fan’s surface exuded divine charm, with a majestic aura and an incredible divine power.
With a flick of Li Lang’s hand, multiple types of flames roared up, directly enveloping the shadow that had burst through the window.
The shadow let out a series of hysterical screams, falling to the ground and rolling in the flames but no matter what, it couldn’t extinguish the fire on its body, ultimately burned alive into a charred corpse.
Sun Yan looked closely and saw that it was a creature resembling a human, but with eight eyes on its face and no mouth.
"It looks like an Evil Ghost, actually having a human form." Sun Yan remarked in surprise.
The Evil Ghosts he’d seen before were always in a soul state, nowhere near as powerful as this one.
Yet even so, this Evil Ghost was merely defeated by Li Lang, a Tomb Guardian, without lasting beyond a single move.
"Is that the Five Flames and Seven Beasts Fan?" Lin Yunzhong curiously looked at the fan in Li Lang’s hand.
"It’s said this Magical Treasure is from the Expository Sect Immortal True Monarch Qingxu of Dao and Virtue, the guardian of the Purple Sun Cave on Qingfeng Mountain, later given to his eldest disciple Yang Ren for protection. This treasure fan possesses the feathers of a Phoenix, Cyan Simurgh, Great Peng, Peacock, White Crane, Honghu, and Owl, and is composed of the fires of the Sky, Stone, Wood, Samadhi, and Human, hence the name Five Flames and Seven Beasts Fan.
As the saying goes, ’The Five Flames, rare wonders, carry seven plumes. The first created Wiseman bore the heavenly flame. The Five Flames and Seven Beasts Fan meets strange stones in the mountains, reduced to ashes, encounters seas and dries them up to scant few droplets,’ this Magical Treasure is certainly no less than her Female and Male Flood Dragon Double Whip, truly enviable."
Sun Yan glanced at Li Lang, quickly thinking about the origin of this Immortal Yang Ren.
He was originally a doctor of the Shang Dynasty and one of the third-generation disciples of the Expository Sect’s Yu Xu lineage. For advising against King Zhou of Shang’s construction of the Lu Platform, he was blinded and killed, his body discarded.
Due to his unyielding loyalty and unquenched resentment, it reached the Purple Sun Cave on Qingfeng Mountain, alarming True Monarch Qingxu of Dao and Virtue, one of the Twelve Immortals of Yu Xu, who rescued him. The True Monarch placed two Golden Cores in his eyes, causing hands to grow from his eye sockets and eyes in his hands. This peculiar pair of Celestial Eyes, although unusual in appearance, allowed him to see the Celestial Court above, the depths below, and all affairs within the Human World. He became the second disciple of the Expository Sect’s Immortal True Monarch of Dao and Virtue, junior to Huang Tianhua.
Later, he was sent on a mission by his master to assist in the Zhou Fazhou campaign and was deified as the ’Celestial Marshal of Jiazi’, Sun-Straight True God, monitoring the All Heaven Star Constellation, investigating human past wrongs, and seeking fortune while avoiding misfortune.
Sun Yan’s expression suddenly turned somewhat awkward.
This Celestial Marshal Jiazi Yang Ren was killed by the Four Wasted Stars Yuan Hong, which led to his entry onto The God Sealing List.
And Yuan Hong, one of the six brothers of Meishan, had a good relationship with True Monarch Erlang Yang Jian, collectively known as the Seven Saints of Meishan.
Thus, there was some old enmity between Sun Yan’s Tomb Guardian and Li Lang’s Tomb Guardian.
"Both Zhou Miss and I have revealed our Tomb Guardians, shouldn’t you also fairly share yours? Hiding them is not beneficial to our cooperation," Li Lang put away the Five Flames and Seven Beasts Fan and seriously said.
"No problem at all, then I’ll go first. My Tomb Guardians are Lei Zhenzi and Tu Xingsun."
Upon hearing his brother’s suggestion, Li Bo immediately agreed and directly stated his Tomb Guardian situation, truly frank and open.
Zhou Mangmang then said, "I have Grandmaster Wen and the West Sea Dragon King."
Sun Yan chuckled awkwardly, "I didn’t expect everyone’s Tomb Guardians to have such remarkable origins, so I won’t hide it either. Mine are True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao and the Monkey King."
Everyone’s gaze finally focused on Lin Yunzhong.
This guy had been carrying a gourd ever since he appeared, which was quite eye-catching, making people naturally curious about who his Tomb Guardians might be.
"Haha, actually, my Tomb Guardians aren’t anything special, it’s Lu Ya Daoist and White Impermanence."
Lin Yunzhong patted the gourd in his hand, chuckling with amusement.
Black and White Impermanence, as ghost officials, were indeed very renowned, and if it came to exorcising evil and catching ghosts, they were definitely very formidable as Tomb Guardians.
However, for Sun Yan, who had top-tier Immortals as Tomb Guardians, the mention of White Impermanence now seemed somewhat ordinary.
But Lin Yunzhong’s other Tomb Guardian was enough to make everyone show surprised expressions.
Lu Ya Daoist!
The origin of Lu Ya was a mystery. He called himself a Loose Cultivator, a mysterious Loose Immortal of unknown origin, who once aided King Wu in his campaign against Zhou, assisting the Expository Sect in battles with the Jie Sect, before retiring to the mountains and withdrawing from worldly affairs.
He excelled in the Five Elements Escape Technique, was skilled in the unique Spell Long Rainbow Escape, and possessed the unique Magical Treasures Immortal Slaying Flying Saber and Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book, which, once unleashed, ensured death to the target, with no record of failure.
Even when captured by the Primordial Golden Dipper, he could escape on his own, being a very mysterious and powerful Immortal.
The one thing that could definitely be affirmed was that this Immortal’s strength was undoubtedly very potent.
Even if Sun Yan had three Tomb Guardians assisting him, if it came to a magical combat with Lin Yunzhong, he wasn’t sure if he could be a match for the opponent.
This man, what luck he has!
