Chu Tian and Lin Qingyuan brushed past each other.
"Brother...!"
Lin Qingyuan wanted to say, if you don't come out soon, we'll all be finished here.
But as Chu Tian walked past him.
He couldn't help but shudder.
The malevolent aura emanating from Chu Tian was awe-inspiring.
"You rest for a bit!"
Chu Tian uttered only these words.
His figure then trembled and vanished.
It turned out that the person speaking to Lin Qingyuan was merely an afterimage.
When Lin Qingyuan shifted his gaze to the distance, his pupils shrank to the size of needles.
He saw Chu Tian strike the chest of one of the grave robbers with his fist.
There was no sound of impact.
It seemed like a light punch.
But the grave robber's body stiffened.
The next second, he turned into a mist of blood.
Then, the entire mountaintop transformed into a charnel house.
Chu Tian was like a Shura, the so-called "ten steps, one kill" was completely inverted for him.
It became "one step, ten kills"... which was an understatement.
Originally, with his current cultivation, a single divine thought would have annihilated everyone present.
Yet Chu Tian chose such a brutal method.
For over ten minutes.
At least over four thousand grave robbers who had ascended the mountaintop were all reduced to mangled limbs.
Chu Tian gave no chance to anyone who tried to escape.
He killed whoever attempted to flee first!
Some grave robbers, in their panic, even attempted to jump off the cliff.
But they could not escape Chu Tian's annihilation.
Even those who had already jumped were turned to dust by a mere divine thought he sent out.
Truly, he didn't even give them a chance to commit suicide!
Below this mountain, two figures were locked in combat.
The moment Chu Tian began his assault, screams and roars echoed from the mountaintop.
The tragic sounds caused the two who were engaged in a life-or-death struggle to pause.
After exchanging blows, they looked towards the mountaintop.
They happened to see someone jumping off the cliff.
That person's body exploded into a bloody mist in mid-air, scattering across the sky.
Such incidents occurred one after another.
A drizzle of blood rained down from the sky above their heads.
The two looked up, and the blood splashed all over their faces.
These two people were none other than Yin Shisan and Gui Mian.
Yin Shisan's pupils contracted.
His body abruptly retreated.
Gui Mian, seeing him move, let out a fierce roar.
"Where do you think you're escaping to? Three years of investigation..."
Before Gui Mian could finish speaking.
Yin Shisan, while fleeing, roared.
"Gui Mian, why so much nonsense? Seek revenge on me later after we escape! Hahaha...
This time, we've truly kicked a steel plate!"
With his shout, Gui Mian was taken aback.
He glanced back at the mountaintop, but immediately turned his head back, gnashing his teeth.
"Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me today!"
As he spoke, his speed increased, and he unleashed a barrage of attack skills behind Yin Shisan.
"You..." Yin Shisan felt immense hatred.
Just now, Chu Tian had used a soul attack to blast those who jumped off the cliff into dust.
As a malevolent ghost and spirit, he was extremely sensitive to soul power.
He immediately sensed Chu Tian's power, which made his heart tremble, completely extinguishing any desire to fight.
Therefore, he chose to flee.
He cursed Gui Mian for causing such a commotion. Didn't he fear being noticed by that person?
How could an evil spirit understand human emotions?
Back then, Yin Shisan and Gui Mian were brothers who would die for each other.
But after descending into a tomb together, Yin Shisan's temperament changed drastically upon their return.
He slaughtered everyone in the village where they had been, including his own family.
And Gui Mian's pregnant wife.
However, for many years, Gui Mian refused to believe that Yin Shisan was responsible.
Despite his hatred, he had always shown Yin Shisan leniency.
Finally, on the mountaintop, he discovered that Yin Shisan had been possessed by an evil spirit.
This solidified the suspicion of the village massacre.
Yet, he also felt a sense of relief. It was indeed not Yin Shisan who had committed these atrocities.
It was the evil spirit within him, which must have followed him out of the tomb.
By some means, it had seized Yin Shisan's physical body and committed those heinous acts.
As the two, one pursuing and the other fleeing, reached the entrance of the great tomb.
Chu Tian's battle, or rather, massacre, had also concluded.
His gaze shifted directly towards their direction.
"Brother, brother... leave two, leave a couple!"
Lin Qingyuan quickly grabbed him.
This brat had his own agenda.
If everyone here was annihilated, who would spread the reputation of the Dragon Emperor Saint Thief?
Chu Tian's pent-up frustration also dissipated at this moment.
Seeing Lin Qingyuan's intent, how could he not understand?
He smiled faintly and allowed Yin Shisan and Gui Mian to leave.
At the entrance of the grand hall, Lin Qiaoqiao and Ling'er stood there, their eyes dazed.
When had these two women ever witnessed such a massacre?
Their faces were pale. They were deeply shocked by Chu Tian's previous slaughter.
On the other hand, Lin Qingyuan.
Just a few days ago, he had vomited after killing someone, but this time, he seemed unfazed.
Chu Tian couldn't help but look at the young man with newfound respect.
"Does grandfather have any other instructions?"
Chu Tian knew that this entire plan was orchestrated by his grandfather.
He likely used Lin Qingyuan to relay messages to him.
Perhaps his grandfather was unable to continue this plan himself.
Or perhaps, he was restricted in some way that prevented him from appearing before Chu Tian.
Lin Qingyuan was startled.
"How did you know Master had other arrangements?"
Hearing this, Chu Tian confirmed that his grandfather indeed had a backup plan.
"Let's go! We'll continue as he instructed you!"
Chu Tian did not answer his question.
"Alright, hehe! We're going to the Sea of the Underworld... Sister Seven, you shouldn't follow us anymore. The Sea of the Underworld is not a place anyone can go to. You should go back?"
The young man was excited by Chu Tian's words.
But he was trying to persuade Lin Qiaoqiao to return home.
Lin Qiaoqiao's expression was grim. She hadn't recovered from the bloody scene.
Furthermore, the stench of blood on the mountaintop was extremely strong.
She covered her nose and shook her head vigorously.
"You're going to the Sea of the Netherworld?" Ling'er suddenly interjected, her voice filled with surprise.
Boom...
As soon as Ling'er finished speaking, the mountain range beneath their feet suddenly trembled violently. The grand hall behind them also began to shake concurrently.
"This is bad, this tomb is collapsing! We need to leave quickly, otherwise, if this self-contained miniature world collapses, we'll be exiled into the spatial cracks."
Lin Qingyuan's face turned ashen.
Everyone knew the gravity of the situation and ceased further discussion, hurrying towards the exit.
Chu Tian had intended to carry everyone over.
Unexpectedly, the space here had already fractured.
Streams of spatial turbulence were flying chaotically above their heads.
They could only bend their waists and run, staying close to the ground.
