Qin Xuan immediately jumped in, gripping the Wu Feng Sword in his hand, ready to strike the other person.
The person behind the bronze door was also startled and immediately scurried towards the stone coffin in the center of the tomb chamber.
Qin Xuan tightened his grip on the Wu Feng Sword, about to attack, but when he clearly saw the appearance of the person in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise.
Qin Xuan actually knew this person; it was Xiao Pang Zi, whom he had met in that small Sect when he was searching for ruins earlier.
However, at this moment, this person was dressed as a Daoist, and his appearance had also changed significantly, clearly disguised.
If it weren't for Qin Xuan's double pupils, he wouldn't have been able to see through this person's true identity at a glance.
“Isn't that ‘Ding Zhen’? Why is he here?”
Qin Xuan frowned, but he quickly understood.
At that time, Ding Zhen had gone to dig up the mausoleum of Qixia Sect's First Ancestor.
Thinking about it this way, it made sense.
“This guy really loves digging up graves.”
Gripping the Wu Feng Sword, Qin Xuan looked coldly at the other person.
Ding Zhen also looked at Qin Xuan.
“Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, my friend, we have no grievances, why do you want to attack me?”
Ding Zhen stared warily at Qin Xuan, looking cautious.
Although Qin Xuan's cultivation was only at the Rookie Realm, looking at Qin Xuan, who was only at the Rookie Realm, a sense of vigilance flashed in his heart.
The person in front of him was probably not easy to deal with, so it was better not to make a move if possible.
Hearing that Ding Zhen had the intention of backing down and compromising, Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows.
It was, of course, best not to make a move.
After all, he just wanted to come here to get the Ghost King's Physical Body.
If the other party's goal didn't conflict with his own, it would be fine for everyone to take what they needed.
“Friend, I'm just here to find something; I'm not here to be your enemy, so you don't need to worry.”
Qin Xuan went with the flow, showing goodwill to the other party.
There was still a Ghost King outside, so there was indeed no need to conflict with the other party.
Hearing this, Ding Zhen raised his eyebrows, looking suspiciously at Qin Xuan.
“What a coincidence, I'm also here to find something. Friend, the things we're looking for aren't the same, are they?”
Ding Zhen stared intently at Qin Xuan, sizing him up.
It seemed his goal was similar to Qin Xuan's.
This guy wouldn't be here for the Ghost King's Physical Body too, would he?
“Hey, may I ask what it is you're looking for, friend?”
Ding Zhen stared intently at Qin Xuan; it was clear that he had also noticed Qin Xuan had disguised his appearance and wanted to figure out Qin Xuan's true identity.
However, Qin Xuan had used Thousand Transformations Illusion to change his face, so he wasn't afraid of Ding Zhen discovering his true identity.
“I want a Physical Body from here. May I ask what Your Excellency is looking for? If what we want is different, perhaps we could even cooperate.”
Qin Xuan spoke with a smile, his face calm, but his heart was extremely vigilant.
“Oh, then our goals are indeed different. I'm here to find a certain item. As for a Physical Body, Your Excellency can have it, but…”
After sizing up Qin Xuan, Ding Zhen suddenly spoke.
“However, do you know whose Physical Body is in that coffin? If you touch his Physical Body, and the people outside find out, you might not be able to leave Great Gan Dynasty alive.”
Qin Xuan was startled, looking at the other party in surprise, somewhat bewildered.
“It seems you really don't know anything. This is the Imperial Mausoleum of the Great Gan Dynasty's Grand Ancestor, and what's buried in that coffin is the Great Gan Dynasty's Grand Ancestor's Physical Body!”
The Great Gan Dynasty's Grand Ancestor's Physical Body?
Although Qin Xuan had already prepared himself mentally, he was still surprised when it was truly confirmed that the Great Gan Dynasty's Grand Ancestor was buried in this underground palace.
“The Great Gan Dynasty's Grand Ancestor has his own mausoleum, so why would he be buried here?”
Qin Xuan was puzzled; he had already vaguely guessed when he saw the statue at the entrance of the underground palace earlier.
“Hey, that's where you don't understand.”
Ding Zhen looked at Qin Xuan smugly.
“He created a fake mausoleum on the surface and isn't actually buried there. The real him secretly moved his mausoleum to this Ancient Battlefield so that others wouldn't be able to find his true Physical Body.”
As Ding Zhen said this, Qin Xuan was somewhat skeptical.
“You don't believe me, do you? Let me tell you, I entered the Great Gan Dynasty's Grand Ancestor's mausoleum a year ago. That mausoleum was indeed luxurious, but the coffin inside was empty, and many tomb robbers died, it was a terrible sight!”
This guy had no idea how many people's tombs he had secretly dug up.
Qin Xuan clicked his tongue, feeling a bit emotional, but he chuckled, not caring.
“I don't care if it's the Great Gan Dynasty's Grand Ancestor's Physical Body or not; as long as I'm interested, even if the Yuan Royal Family is here, I won't show mercy!”
The Great Gan Dynasty's Grand Ancestor was an ancient person from how many years ago? He didn't care about any royal family or anything like that.
“How about this, since our goals are different, it would be better for us to cooperate in this underground palace.”
“If you do well, perhaps you can explore tombs with me. At that time, we'll split whatever we find equally, how about it? I see you're a promising talent, are you interested?”
Although it was his first time meeting Qin Xuan, for some reason, Ding Zhen felt that the person in front of him was definitely not simple.
If he could form an alliance with the other party, perhaps they could cooperate.
“Ah?”
Qin Xuan was stunned; he truly hadn't expected the other party to invite him to form an alliance and explore tombs with him.
Although the other party also gave him a very unsimple feeling, Qin Xuan had no intention of forming an alliance with him.
What a joke, tomb raiding was out of the question.
“You're truly a rigid person. You're clearly very strong; if you were willing to explore tombs with me, your future would be limitless.”
Ding Zhen looked at Qin Xuan with some regret.
But he was just saying it.
“The things we want should be in this stone coffin. How about we open the coffin together and each take what we need? When you're out and about, harmony brings wealth!”
Ding Zhen smiled, looking at Qin Xuan and proposing cooperation.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xuan nodded.
“Alright, then let's do that. I'll take the Physical Body in the coffin, and you take what you want. We'll open the coffin together.”
Qin Xuan's eyes flickered. At this point, whether he wanted to or not, this coffin was going to be opened.
“Hehe, this coffin has been in this Extremely Yin Land for who knows how many years. No matter how good a person was, they would have turned into a malevolent ghost by now. If there's any corpse transformation, you'll have to deal with it yourself!”
Ding Zhen said to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan also nodded understandingly.
“Of course, since I want the Physical Body, then all changes to this Physical Body will naturally be my responsibility!”
Qin Xuan nodded, walked to one end of the stone coffin, while Ding Zhen came to the other end.
The two exchanged glances, nodded, and simultaneously opened the coffin.
“Whoosh!”
The stone coffin was flung open, and Ding Zhen rushed directly into the stone coffin.
