Chapter 380: Fairy, what are you up to?

Just then, a hearty laugh came over.

"Fellow Daoist, we really are fated to meet—we ran into each other as soon as we entered."

Hearing this, Shi Hao's steps halted, and he stopped.

"This kid really is a persistent ghost—whenever you mention him, he shows up."

"That's right—the person who just arrived is Chen Mu, whom Lin Bai and Shi Hao were just discussing."

"I was saying I'd go look for you elsewhere, but I didn't expect to run into you so quickly."

"These are all the Heaven's Pride of the Qingyun Immortal Sect—come over and get to know them."

Chen Mu greeted the Heaven's Pride behind him as he walked.

"Greetings, Heaven's Pride of the Immortal Sect."

No one dared to defy the Young Master's words, so all the Heaven's Pride of the Chen Clan Immortal Family spoke up together.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, what's the matter?"

Shi Hao eyed the person before him warily, already prepared to strike.

Behind him, Lin Bai, Hua Qingyu, the four Sevens, and the seven Cores were all secretly gathering power, ready to strike at any moment.

Outsiders are not like those inside the sect.

One must not harbor harmful intent, but one must never lack vigilance against others.

This is an unchanging truth.

"Fellow Daoist, though this Immortal Tomb holds many opportunities, dangers abound—crisis and opportunity coexist."

"Especially watch out for the Heaven's Pride of the great powers—after all, here we don't only have the Heaven's Pride of our Tianyun Dao Domain, but also those from the neighboring Ziyu Dao Domain."

"Why don't we team up to explore? What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

Hearing this, Shi Hao pondered briefly, then said, "No, thank you for your kind reminder, Fellow Daoist."

"We'll continue exploring on our own."

"Let's go."

Having said that, Shi Hao called his junior disciples to move forward.

In place, Chen Mu's smile froze on his face, his eyes growing ever darker.

He had suggested teaming up with them merely to gather more intel, planning to strike once they let their guard down.

"Young Master?"

"Never mind that—hurry up and catch up."

Not long after, Shi Hao and his group arrived before a pile of stone steles.

Here, many Heaven's Pride had already gathered.

"Stele of the Eternal Extension Immortal King."

"Eternal Extension Immortal King: a high‑rank Immortal King, head of the Liu Clan Immortal Family."

"In the Immortal‑Fall Epoch, foreign races invaded; the Eternal Extension Immortal King led his clan in resistance, fell tragically, and was specially buried here."

"Those fated may inherit his legacy."

Lin Bai read aloud the inscription on a nearby stele.

He couldn't help but feel a solemn reverence.

No matter how ruthless the world of cultivation, there are always many strong souls who step forward when righteousness is at stake.

Within the Ancient Saint Secret Realm lie the calculations of countless sages who resisted the demon race.

Elder Han Yue, who once dwelt in the Weak Water Secret Realm, was one of them.

In the Immortal Tomb lie the bones of heroes, whose righteousness preserves peace in the world.

"Junior brother, let's go."

"First we must obtain the Immortal Treasure entrusted by our Master, lest others snatch it away."

After a brief pause here, Shi Hao then spoke.

"All right, Eldest Senior Brother."

Having said that, Shi Hao and his party continued onward.

Opportunities abound—no need to rush.

What the Master entrusted is important; when the time comes, the treasures will come to us of their own accord.

Shi Hao and his companions deeply felt this truth.

Because there will always be clueless fools who come looking for trouble.

"If you come to rob us, find you can't beat us, then we'll turn around and rob you—sounds fair, right?"

"Senior brother, junior sister, that Chen fellow has been dogging us at death's door."

"Let him follow if he likes being a lackey," upon hearing the Second Senior Brother's words, Hua Qingyu furrowed her brows.

"What the junior sister says is right—we just need to guard against that brat."

As time passed, the Heaven's Pride who had entered the Immortal Tomb each gained something.

Of course, killings and treasure seizures kept occurring.

After all, this is an Immortal Tomb; there are no powerful guardians within, so everything depends on one's own strength.

The strong live, the weak die.

The weak are unworthy to leave this place; their blood and bones deserve only to nourish the barren earth here.

Three days later.

In a cavern of the Immortal Tomb, Shi Hao and his companions were resting briefly, discussing.

"Look, I said earlier—even if we don't actively seek them, brainless fools will still come to us."

Lin Bai held his Azure Lotus Sword in one hand and laughed.

On the stone before him lay ten-odd spatial immortal treasures emitting immortal light.

In the past three days, many dim-witted fools have come seeking death.

What could he do? He could only satisfy them.

"Haha, Senior Brother Lin is right."

"This also saves us the trouble of looking ourselves," Sequence Disciple Qin Han likewise said with a smile.

As a reincarnation of the Great Emperor, his experience is naturally extremely rich.

One shouldn't go through too much of such things.

"Put them all away, Junior Brother."

At that moment, Shi Hao standing behind rose to his feet.

The stay has more or less ended; it's time to set out again.

Having said that, Shi Hao alone walked to the cave entrance, about to call out to the junior brothers and sisters behind him.

Who would have expected, an abrupt change occurred.

A woman with a flushed face and graceful figure flew toward them.

She kept shouting for help.

"Hmm?"

Seeing that she was about to crash into him, Shi Hao hastily dodged, thus narrowly avoiding disaster.

Afterwards, the woman fell heavily to the ground inside the cave.

"What's happening?"

Hearing the commotion, Lin Bai and the others hurriedly rose and went forward to check; Shi Hao also went up.

"Save… save me, I am……"

The woman lying on the ground now had a flushed face, her mouth constantly muttering.

"Senior Brother, who is this woman?"

Seeing this, Lin Bai and the others were baffled, and hurriedly asked the senior brother who had just been at the cave entrance.

"I don't know either; she just flew over from afar, almost bumping into me, but I dodged quickly."

Shi Hao was also bewildered; could it be that a fairy had fallen from the sky?

Who would have thought, after Shi Hao finished speaking, the woman lying on the ground actually stood up.

She kept teasing her clothes, her beautiful eyes full of madness; combined with her stunning looks, she appeared utterly alluring.

After standing up, without a word she lunged into Shi Hao's embrace.

"Hey hey hey, what do you want to do!"

Seeing this, Shi Hao immediately panicked, only able to keep retreating backward.

"Haha, if Senior Brother can't handle it, just give in to her."

"Yeah, I never expected that Senior Brother Shi would come on a trip to the Immortal Tomb and still encounter such good fortune; it makes the junior brothers jealous."

Lin Bai took the lead in teasing.

It's the first time seeing the usually steady senior brother like this; it's rather cute.

"You're still laughing; hurry up and pull her away."

Shi Hao once again pushed away the frenzied woman before him and spoke in a panic.

Upon hearing this, everyone hurried forward to pull the woman apart.

"This seems to be a case of love poison, and a particularly potent kind at that."

"I remember now! This woman, I saw her outside the Immortal Tomb before; she seems to be the Pure and Simple Immortal Maiden everyone talks about—the direct daughter of the Qing Immortal Clan."

Sequence Disciple Ning Yan felt a stir in his heart and spoke.
