The coffins' design and carved decorations were vastly different from modern ones, clearly antique.
These coffins were all crafted from Tier Seven materials!
"Coffins made from Tier Seven materials?" The young man's eyes lit up. "Looks like there must be something good inside!"
"Your Highness, perhaps we should call for reinforcements first...?" The four guards swallowed nervously.
A glimpse through a tube reveals the leopard's spot.
This grand tomb was definitely more dangerous than they had initially predicted!
Before the young man could reply, a stream of phantoms floated out of the coffins.
This time, even the young man realized something was seriously wrong!
All these phantoms were at the sixth layer of the Void Integration realm!
His four guards were also at the sixth layer of the Void Integration realm, while he himself was even weaker, only at the second layer.
Four against a hundred, there was no chance of victory...
The phantoms immediately drew their waist swords and launched fierce sword qi towards the five individuals!
The four guards did not dare to delay and quickly erected their true qi defenses.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!" The sword qi struck the true qi barriers, creating a series of rapid noises.
The four guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The phantoms' attacks were slightly weaker than those of the sixth layer of the Void Integration realm, likely between the fifth and sixth layers.
They could handle this!
Leaving one guard to protect the young man, the remaining three charged towards the phantoms.
The battle raged for a full hour.
Although the phantoms' attack power was lacking, their defense was incredibly resilient...
The three attacking guards were all seriously injured, and their internal true qi was largely depleted.
The guard responsible for protecting the young man was not faring much better.
Although not severely injured, his true qi consumption was even greater than the other three.
"Careless!" The young man smacked his lips. "Never mind, let's head out for now."
Being fond of courting death was not the same as actively seeking it.
Upon realizing they were outmatched, they could only choose tactical retreat.
However, upon reaching the entrance of the passage, all five were dumbfounded!
A barrier sealed the entrance completely, making escape impossible!
Just as they were at a loss, the surrounding space suddenly fluctuated.
Two figures abruptly appeared beside them.
"Huh?" Liang Rujing asked curiously, "Ye Fan, where did you bring us?"
"I don't know." Ye Fan shook his head.
He had been transported here right after the system's notification, and who knew where this was...
Seeing Ye Fan and the other person suddenly appear, the guards immediately became wary.
However, upon seeing their cultivation levels, they lowered their weapons.
One was at the Qi Refining stage, and the other had no cultivation at all.
They posed no threat.
"Hello," Liang Rujing politely asked them, "May I ask what this place is?"
The five individuals looked at her with strange expressions.
You teleported yourselves here, and now you're asking us?
Are you sure your brains aren't malfunctioning?
"We just suddenly arrived here with a 'swoosh'," Liang Rujing explained, seeing their confused expressions.
The five instantly understood.
So that's how it is!
It seemed these two rookies were playing with random teleportation talismans out of boredom and ended up teleporting themselves here.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the five lit up.
Right!
Random teleportation talismans!
"Your Highness, allow me to try first," one guard took out a random teleportation talisman.
After all, where this thing would teleport them was uncertain; it would be disastrous if they accidentally ended up in another tomb chamber!
As true qi was injected...
The teleportation talisman showed no reaction...
A dread immediately filled the hearts of the five.
The teleportation talisman was unusable!
Ye Fan glanced at the barrier at the entrance and understood.
It was a unidirectional barrier of high Tier Eight.
The Tier Six teleportation talismans they possessed were useless.
Unless they cleared the entire instance, they would never be able to leave.
If this were in the past, an eighth-tier barrier would have been child's play for him, the grand master of formations.
However, in this life, he was merely a mortal without any cultivation, unable to break it.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan narrowed his eyes.
It was clear that he had been tricked by the damn system again!
When he was teleported to the trial secret realm before, it had taken him half a day, but this time it was a mere 'swoosh'.
This meant the damn system's ability to cause trouble had improved.
The current situation was clearly an attempt to awaken his desire for power through the barrier and the dangers within the tomb.
What a pity, what a pity.
Damn system, you're destined to be disappointed!
All these fancy tricks are useless to me!
If you have the guts, then let me die here!
"No need to look," seeing Ye Fan staring at the barrier, the young man sighed helplessly. "We can't get out."
"We can only continue exploring now," one guard looked at the two. "Stay close behind us later, and absolutely do not touch anything!"
In his opinion, while his own prince was also a burden, he was at least a cultivator of the Void Integration realm and knew not to tamper with things here.
But these two rookies, Ye Fan and Liang Rujing, were unpredictable!
Rookies like them would certainly be filled with curiosity about ancient ruins.
Furthermore, they would undoubtedly see themselves as powerful cultivators, thinking that with a powerful figure protecting them, they would be safe.
This was not his baseless speculation; he had personal experience!
Once, when exploring a ruin, a prince of the Nascent Soul realm insisted on coming along, wanting to broaden his horizons.
As a result, that brat went into the ruin and started touching and moving things randomly, almost leading to their annihilation!
"Yes, we understand," Ye Fan replied politely, not offended.
Thus, the group headed back towards the previous tomb chamber.
"I say, your mother was quite unlucky, using a random teleportation talisman and getting herself trapped," the young man sighed on the way. "Let's just be friends before we die. I am Bu Queqian of the Wuzhui Kingdom."
Although Bu Queqian was a cultivator of the Void Integration realm, his cultivation was entirely achieved through elixirs and other external means.
Actual cultivation was nonexistent for him.
He was a standard prodigal son...
Completely lacking the demeanor of a cultivator.
The reason other cultivators did not do this was, first, they were not as wealthy as him, and second, doing so would be self-destructive.
His method of relying on elixirs would only take him to the Void Integration realm and no further.
And he was considered lucky at that!
In actual combat, his strength was likely only at the Nascent Soul realm.
"Ye Fan."
"Liang Rujing."
Ye Fan and Liang Rujing replied politely.
"If we survive this ordeal, I'll be your friend for sure!"
As they spoke, the group arrived back in the previous tomb chamber.
"Your Highness, something seems strange..." one guard muttered, scanning the surroundings.
Because there was no exit to be found anywhere in the tomb chamber!
A grand tomb like this couldn't possibly have only one chamber.
As soon as he finished speaking, another group of vengeful spirits floated out of the coffins.
The guards did not dare to delay and quickly engaged them.
Having been injured earlier, they had also consumed a significant amount of true qi. This time, it took them over an hour to end the battle.
As soon as the battle concluded, one guard strode furiously towards Ye Fan.
"Did you touch something earlier?!" The guard stared intently at Ye Fan. "I don't care if you're looking for death, but don't drag us down with you!"
