Chapter 497: Entering the Living Dead Tomb

Just as Li Mochou and her disciple were about to leave, Liu Bian's figure appeared abruptly before their eyes.

"The two of you, since you have come, I happen to have a small favor to ask. I wonder if you would be willing to agree?"

Looking at Liu Bian who had suddenly appeared before them, Li Mochou and her disciple felt the hairs on their bodies stand on end.

How this person had appeared, even with Li Mochou's strength, she had not been able to see clearly.

This indicated that this person's strength was far above her own.

And since she was already at the Postnatal Ninth Layer, this person's strength was definitely at the Innate Realm.

Forcing down the fear in her heart, Li Mochou spoke cautiously to Liu Bian:

"May I ask who you are, sir? And for what reason do you block our path?"

Seeing Li Mochou so afraid of him, Liu Bian smiled at the master and disciple.

"Rest assured, I only wish for you two to bring me into the Ancient Tomb. I presume you will agree to this small request of mine."

"I am the Emperor of the Great Han Empire, Liu Bian!"

Even though Liu Bian's attitude was very amiable, Li Mochou and her disciple could not help but feel a bit afraid.

"Liu Bian? How is this possible?"

After hearing Liu Bian's words, Li Mochou thought to herself in disbelief.

Liu Bian—wasn't this the Han Shao Emperor from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?

"I suppose it must just be the same name."

"If it really were the Han Shao Emperor, that would be too inconceivable!"

Forcing down the panic in her heart.

"I ask that you speak plainly, sir. As long as it is something within our power, my disciple and I will certainly assist."

Li Mochou cupped her fists toward Liu Bian.

"Hahaha, easily done."

"As long as you two bring me into the Ancient Tomb, I will let you both leave."

"Furthermore, I can even grant you a stroke of fortune."

Liu Bian looked at Li Mochou before him and said with a smile.

Given Li Mochou's strength and talent, she could indeed join the Great Han Empire.

Moreover, to tell the truth, Li Mochou was not actually a very bad person.

It was only after being deceived by the heartless Lu Zhanyuan earlier that she had become somewhat extreme.

Thinking of this, Liu Bian used his Probe Eye to examine Li Mochou and her disciple.

"Li Mochou's talent is actually quite good."

Upon seeing Li Mochou's talent and constitution, Liu Bian nodded to himself.

As expected of a main antagonist in the *Return of the Condor Heroes* world, this talent was indeed acceptable.

"Is what you say true, sir!"

Hearing Liu Bian's words, Li Mochou asked with pleasant surprise.

In her eyes, she had already regarded Liu Bian as an Innate Realm expert.

For such a person, the fortune granted to her would truly be significant.

"Rest assured, I am the ruler of a nation; my words are always golden and jade."

Liu Bian looked at Li Mochou and said solemnly.

"Are you truly the ruler of a nation, sir?"

"But why have I never heard of you?"

Hearing Liu Bian refer to himself as "Zhen" (Emperor) once again, Li Mochou could not help but ask in confusion.

Having roamed the *jianghu* for so long, she had truly never heard of an emperor named Liu Bian.

"You need not guess any further."

"I am indeed the Han Emperor Liu Bian from your memories, but I am not a person of this world."

Liu Bian did not hide anything from Li Mochou.

Since he intended to subdue her, there was no need to keep it from her.

"What!"

"Could there really be other worlds? How is this possible?"

Liu Bian's answer shocked the master and disciple.

They had never imagined that there could truly be other worlds.

"Enough, I will tell you about these things later. For now, bring me into the Ancient Tomb to have a look."

"To be honest, I am quite curious about this Ancient Tomb."

Liu Bian did not continue to explain.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please follow me."

At this moment, although Li Mochou still had some doubts about Liu Bian's words, she did not immediately refute him.

Instead, she spoke respectfully to Liu Bian.

Subsequently, under Li Mochou's guidance, Liu Bian arrived smoothly at the Living Dead Tomb.

"Your Majesty, this is the Living Dead Tomb."

After entering the Living Dead Tomb, Li Mochou led Liu Bian all the way toward the center.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the heart of the tomb.

At the same time, Xiao Longnv, who was cultivating on the Cold Jade Bed, opened her eyes and discovered the three of them.

Xiao Longnv was draped in white robes as light as gauze, appearing as if she were amidst mist and clouds; she looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Apart from her black hair, her entire body was snow-white, and her features were peerlessly beautiful, though her skin lacked a trace of blood, appearing unusually pale.

"This Xiao Longnv is truly worthy of being the heroine of the *Condor* world; her appearance can rival Zhao Ji's."

"It is just that, living for so long in this sunless Ancient Tomb, she appears slightly pale."

……

Just as Liu Bian was checking Xiao Longnv's attributes, Xiao Longnv stared at the arriving Li Mochou and said in a cold voice:

"Senior Sister, why have you returned to the Ancient Tomb, and why have you brought an outsider inside?"

At the same time, hearing the noise, Sun Granny also arrived.

Upon seeing Li Mochou, she immediately cursed:

"You wretch Li Mochou, you actually dare to bring a man back to the Ancient Tomb? Have you forgotten the sect rules?"

"Leave here at once! Our Ancient Tomb Sect does not welcome you!"

Li Mochou, however, did not take Sun Granny's angry curses to heart.

Looking at her expression, it was clearly not the first time she had experienced this scene.

"Junior Sister, it is not that I wanted to come this time."

Saying this, Li Mochou glanced at Liu Bian beside her before continuing:

"This time, it is His Majesty who wishes to visit, so I brought him to see our Ancient Tomb Sect."

Hearing Li Mochou's words, Xiao Longnv and Sun Granny immediately turned their gazes toward Liu Bian.

"Boy, our Ancient Tomb Sect does not allow men to enter. I advise you to leave quickly."

Although Sun Granny was somewhat curious about Liu Bian, she could not help but speak loudly.

"Heh, I am actually quite curious: if I do not intend to leave, what can you do about it!"

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he looked at Sun Granny with a playful expression.

"Hmph!"

"Since you do not know what is good for you, sir, I have no choice but to see you out!"

Sun Granny let out a cold snort and struck a palm toward Liu Bian. ===== CHAPTER 498 =====
