Chapter 1240: Murky Yin Phosphorus Fire
, Lu senior, this way please." said the young man with thick eyebrows who had been following him since they entered the mansion.After arriving at the bamboo house, Lu Xiaocen finally understood why Fu...“Of course, there are other human cultivators. As for the entrance, it's not as simple as it appears on the surface. It requires both heaven and earth alignment. The apparent entrance is actually a maze-like formation. Even if you enter now, you'll soon get dizzy and lost inside, ending up back where you started.” The green-eyed elder smiled, squinting his eyes.
“Come with us, fellow cultivator.” The green-eyed elder was barely as tall as Lu Xia Tian’s waist, clad in a black robe, and his movements were incredibly swift. He transformed into a faint grayish corpse qi and drifted away into the distance. The Yin-Yang limping monster followed closely behind, dragging dozens of afterimages, not falling far behind the green-eyed elder.

Lu Xia Tian's footsteps moved slightly, following the Green-Eyed Elder and Yin Yang Limping Monster at a leisurely pace. As they walked through this towering mountain shaded by ancient trees, one could occasionally see various sinister demonic beasts or ghastly corpse demons.
Before long, he arrived at the cave entrance, which resembled a mountain cavern. The inside was shrouded in black miasma, with cold winds whistling through it, carrying a bone-chilling chill. Even Lu Xiaoteng couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine. This chill wasn't just ordinary coldness; it was laced with an eerie, sinister energy that seemed to burrow into his bones constantly.
It is said that even a nascent soul cultivator would find it difficult to stay in this ancient tomb for long.
The man with green eyes and the hunchback monster, after a quick flash of their forms, entered the cave. Lu Xiaoteng hesitated for a moment before following them.
The old man with green eyes and the Yin-Yang limping monster looked at each other, seeing that Lu Xiaottian's face showed no sign of struggle, and they directly followed him in. They couldn't help but be a little surprised. There was a sinister aura within this ancient tomb, which they were both very clear about as it suppressed ordinary human cultivators. Any human cultivator who entered here must have a treasure of supreme yang and vigor to protect them in order to travel freely in this ancient tomb. But the unidentified cultivator in front of them did not show any signs of using any treasures at all.
"This human cultivator is truly devious. He's clearly not a powerful cultivator, yet he was able to easily block our combined attack. Moreover, he entered the outer perimeter of the ancient tomb without using any spirit-communicating artifacts. Corpse Fiend, do you see through this guy's methods" Yin Yang Limping Demon secretly transmitted a voice to the Green-Eyed Old Man.
"I wouldn't have expected him to withstand the attacks of both of us. Besides his profound magical powers, his spiritual artifact played a significant role. It was incredibly effective against us, especially those dozens of silver leaves emitting silver light, capable of subduing demons and haunting ghosts. However, in my opinion, that set of spiritual artifacts seems somewhat lacking in follow-through power. They probably haven't been fully refined yet."
The old man with green eyes said in a cold voice, “If we really want to fight, both of us could pay some price and maybe be able to take him down.”
“Forget it. This person’s martial arts skills are too effective against the both of us. It would be a loss to forcefully capture him. Besides, compared to the treasures in the ancient tomb, we value the lighter over the heavier. Let him take his Buddhist relics; there isn't much conflict of interest between him and us.” Yang Yin limped and said.

"Well then, let's see what he can do. If he can't make it in the tomb, this old man will have no choice but to turn him into a rotting corpse and slowly absorb his delicious corpse aura." The green-eyed elder cackled wickedly.
"The three of us joining forces, in this ancient tomb we can't say we are invincible, at least there aren't many things we fear anymore. It is very hopeful that we can obtain several treasures." The Yin-Yang Limping Monster let out a cold snort. "Green-Eyed Monster, if you only want to spend your days holding onto a few rotting corpses, I can't accompany you, of course. As for obtaining treasures, if you can deal with this person after we get them, I won't interfere with your affairs either, how about that"
"Very well, I'll do as you say." The old man with green eyes hesitated inwardly, thinking to himself that this yin-yang cripple was not on the same path as him. At critical moments, he would still have to rely on himself.

While the old man with green eyes and the hunchbacked monster were whispering to each other, the three of them had already entered their respective caves.
The cave was filled with jagged rocks, and in the eerie black mist you could sometimes see clumps of sinister weeds like blackthorn grass and deadly nightshade growing among broken graves. Most of these graves had been opened up, some big, some small, and inside they were pitch black, as if whatever had been buried there had already escaped its tomb, adding a terrifying element to the scene.
Of course, these have little effect on Yuan Ying cultivators. Those who have cultivated to the Yuan Ying stage would not be affected by such external factors in their mentality. They just felt the atmosphere was a bit oppressive.

The scattered graves, some marked with lichen-covered bluestones, bore faint traces of inscriptions lost to time. Others were entwined by pitch-black serpent forms, or solitary one-horned ravens flitted among the eerie flora.
The three of them circled the area like that. Lu Xiaoteng was very patient and didn't ask what was going on. Instead, he carefully memorized the path they took. If there were any deviations, with the spirit-chasing dog by his side, there was no need to worry about getting lost.
After several hours of silence, a hoarse and unpleasant voice broke out.

"The hawk has arrived, the entrance to the tomb is revealed." The green-eyed old man leading Lu Xiaotian, along with the Yin Yang cripple, sounded a hint of joy in his voice.
"kaka...."
As soon as the harsh crow's call faded, a scraping sound like a saw being pulled echoed into everyone's ears. From afar, in the churning gloom, one could vaguely see a tomb much larger than the others. Its towering stone slab stood several zhang high, and the creaking sound was caused by its movement. After the slab moved aside, with a whoosh, a massive amount of murky yin fire surged out.
“I didn't expect it to be turbid Yin phosphorus fire this time, it seems that the two of us won't have an easy time either.” The Yin-Yang Lame Monster said with a slightly solemn expression.
"Is this what they call the entrance to an ancient tomb" Lu Xiaoteng looked at the murky Yin Phosphorus fire constantly surging from behind the tombstone and asked.
“This is a must-pass formation when entering the ancient tomb. Every time you enter the ancient tomb, there will be some obstacles, more or less. It’s just that this time the encountered ones are a bit more tricky. Daoist friend, if you find it difficult, we can look for another way.” The Yin Yang Limping Monster said.
“We’ve been circling this ancient tomb inside and out for decades, if not more. If we continue searching, it will take at least several months, and if luck is on our side, maybe a year or two. You have the patience for that, but I don't.” The green-eyed elder shook his head.
"Since that's the case, then let's go in. If things get tough, we can always retreat." Hearing the green-eyed elder's words and seeing the Yin-Yang Lame Monster's expression, Lu Xiaoteng knew the green-eyed elder's words were probably true.

“Since my friend has spoken, One-legged Monster, you shouldn't hesitate any longer.” The old man with green eyes urged him. Then, with a movement of his body, he was already at the tombstone. “I shall go first.”
"Fellow Daoist, please be careful. You're fine since your strength hasn't been affected. If the situation goes wrong, this Green-Eyed Monster loves to turn people or monsters into corpses and feast on them. The stronger the corpse, the more this old monster likes it." After Yin Yang limping monster finished transmitting sound to Lu Xia Tian, he had already disappeared into the muddy Yin Fire behind the tombstone. junior sister's affairs, Luge brother, what a pity, she is gone. Hopefully, one day, I can see my junior sister avenge herself." Lu Xiaoxiao said."I understand," Lu Qing's eyes fogged over, and she t...
