Necropolis Immortal

nal destination for every departed soul.
Only there could they be finally reincarnated.

Hum— A formless power sucked the nine coffins within the stone chamber inside the gates.

These coffins were the foundation of the girl’s existence.
If they were destroyed, she would perish along with them, so the safest place to stow them was within the gates.

“Stay by my side from now on,” declared Lu Yun.
“What is your name?”

“My lord, my name is Yueshen.” The girl leapt up from the ground, excitement plain on her pale face.

“Yueshen… Can you control that fatty?” Lu Yun asked.

“Yes!” Yueshen nodded, but then shook her head.
“I can make him see what I want him to see, but I can’t control his will.”

“That’s enough.” Lu Yun grinned mischievously.
“Make him follow me.”

“Wow! So much treasure! Gods above, I’m rich! So rich!” With a shriek, the fatty stood up and followed Lu Yun, his face feverish with excitement as he rubbed his hands together.

……

“Huh.
The kid carried off the ‘immortal ghost’ nurtured in this place,” a voice whispered softly in the air after Lu Yun and Yueshen’s departure.
“It looks like he opened a pair of gates just a moment ago.
I wonder where they lead.”

Humans become ghosts when they die, and immortals become immortal ghosts when they die.
The ghost of an ordinary mortal would never dare approach an immortal one.

Only an immortal ghost could delude a living immortal and absorb his vitality.
This particular Ninefilia Specter Fostering art hadn’t used ordinary mortals, but nine female immortals of extreme yin instead.

……

“My lord, ‘It’ was here just now.” Yueshen’s dainty figure floated beside Lu Yun.

“Who?” the latter asked in surprise.

“I don’t know who ‘It’ is, nor can I see ‘It,’ but I can feel ‘Its’ presence.
‘It’ came with you just now.”

Horrified goosebumps popped up on Lu Yun’s skin in response to her words.
Something had followed him inside this enormous burial mound, yet he hadn’t sensed it at all?

“Is that thing still here?” he asked after taking a deep breath.

“Not anymore.
It’s gone,” answered Yueshen.

Lu Yun sighed in relief.
“Do you know what it is?” His eyes narrowed.

Yueshen shook her head.

“Fine, then do you know where I can find a treasure called the Formation Orb?”

That item was the entire purpose of his trip.
As the local boss, Yueshen should be aware of its location.
But again, she merely stared blankly at him.

“In that case, take me to the heart of this place.” He changed tactics instead after seeing her reaction.
If there were indeed treasures inside a great tomb like this, they were most likely grave goods.
Such items were usually found at the center of the tomb.

“Okay… But that place is very dangerous.
That thing following you earlier probably comes from there, my lord,” Yueshen said after a moment’s hesitation.

“Oh?” Lu Yun’s heart beat fiercely.
“All the better.
Let’s find out what was following me.”

Danger? Was tomb raiding ever devoid of danger?

Li Youcai’s figure mindlessly followed behind Lu Yun, saliva drooling from his mouth and one of Yueshen’s specters on his back.

……

“Why do the tunnels here feel vaguely familiar?” Lu Yun’s brows furrowed a few minutes later.
Despite the nagging feeling of familiarity, he was dead certain he’d never set foot inside this tomb before.
“Strange, what’s going on here?”

The number of corpse flies on the walls decreased with every step, and the ambient light was dimming by the second when the sparkling, undulating waters of a great lake came into view.

“Lu Yun—” A voice brimming with rage reached his ears before he could fully take in the sight.
Qing Han’s livid face appeared out of nowhere.
“Li Youcai, you’re here as well? Wonderful, isn’t this just fabulous!”
