Chapter 1231 The Unlucky Zhuge Qingxuan

"All of you, get in there!"

Zhuge Qingxuan threw his weight around, driving everyone into the tomb like a flock of ducks.

The crowd had no choice but to steel themselves and enter the tomb, knowing full well the danger.

Zhuge Qingxuan sneered, "A bunch of ants dreaming of attaining the Dao? What a joke!"

"Heh, there are countless ants in the world, and who doesn't dream of eternal Dao? There's no harm in dreaming," Old Han chuckled.

Only after watching everyone disappear from sight did Zhuge Qingxuan and his group enter.

But the moment Zhuge Qingxuan stepped through the barrier, a warning sign flared!

Before him was a world of blood red!

Countless vengeful spirits, claws bared, lunged at Zhuge Qingxuan.

These spirits weren't particularly powerful, but they made up for it in numbers.

The sea of spirits stretched endlessly, impossible to kill them all.

Zhuge Qingxuan snorted coldly and struck out with his Mystic Calamity Finger.

"Boom!"

Tens of thousands of vengeful spirits were annihilated by that single finger.

But those tens of thousands were but a drop in the ocean.

The gap was quickly filled by other spirits.

"Give me back my life!"

"I want you dead!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

...

The spirits shrieked as they charged, as if bearing a deep grudge against Zhuge Qingxuan.

"Hmph! A bunch of reckless fools! You think mere spirits can trap me?"

Zhuge Qingxuan snorted, and a terrifying aura surged skyward.

"True Martial Brahma Heaven!"

A pale blue light shield formed within a ten-zhang radius around Zhuge Qingxuan.

Any spirit that entered that ten-zhang range was instantly shredded into nothingness!

Yet they still came at him like moths to a flame.

Inside the spatial crystal formation, Ye Yuan was slightly surprised and muttered to himself, "I didn't expect this guy to have comprehended the Divine Dao Domain! Looks like his strength has skyrocketed lately! Kano truly lives up to his reputation as the former Heavenly Demon God, to have such means!"

Zhuge Qingxuan's vision blurred, and he found himself in a long corridor.

Old Han seemed to have entered earlier. He gave Zhuge Qingxuan a strange look and asked, "Why are you so late?"

Zhuge Qingxuan looked at him oddly in return. "You came in after me, so how did you get here first? Didn't you run into those vengeful spirits?"

"Vengeful spirits? What vengeful spirits? We walked straight in and didn't encounter anything," Old Han said, baffled.

Just then, another martial artist at the Divine King realm entered.

Zhuge Qingxuan frowned, grabbed him, and asked, "When you came through the barrier, did you encounter anything?"

Pressed by Zhuge Qingxuan, the man looked displeased but shook his head. "No, I came straight in and saw nothing."

Zhuge Qingxuan was now frustrated. He asked a few others who had entered earlier and found that none of them had encountered any spirits.

Why did it only happen to him?

Was it just his bad luck?

Though the spirits posed little threat to him, being the only one to encounter them was still quite irritating.

Old Han sensed something off and asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Zhuge Qingxuan said, "I don't know where it was. It seemed to be some space within the barrier, teeming with countless vengeful spirits. Even an ordinary Void Xuan martial artist would have trouble getting out. If I hadn't recently made great progress, I might not have escaped so quickly!"

Old Han was slightly surprised and thought to himself that Zhuge Qingxuan was really unlucky.

None of them had encountered anything, only Zhuge Qingxuan.

As for the possibility of someone deliberately manipulating things, it never crossed their minds.

This was an ancient Divine Dao sect—who could control things to such an extent?

After much fuss, Zhuge Qingxuan couldn't figure it out and had no choice but to proceed deeper.

The tunnels here crisscrossed in all directions, like a maze.

Though they were many, they were like headless flies, unable to find their way.

However, they encountered no danger along the way, which surprised the martial artists.

They had expected the Divine Dao sect's ruins to be full of traps and mechanisms, but nothing happened.

Zhuge Qingxuan was also surprised. He exchanged a glance with Old Han and said, "Could this place just be an empty shell?"

"That... seems unlikely?" Old Han said uncertainly.

"If it's not an empty shell, why is there no danger at all?"

No sooner had Zhuge Qingxuan spoken than his expression changed.

"True Martial Brahma Heaven!"

Without hesitation, Zhuge Qingxuan instantly activated his Divine Dao Domain.

Counters of blood-red light flickered and converged from all directions, enveloping Zhuge Qingxuan's group.

"Aaaah..."

Screams of agony rang out. Except for Old Han and Zhuge Qingxuan, everyone in the group was instantly killed.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The blood-red light was terrifyingly powerful. Even the two experts dared not slack off.

This禁制 was set by a Divine Dao powerhouse a million years ago—its power was unimaginable!

The two used every trick they had and finally fought their way out of the禁制.

As they emerged, the禁制 slowly subsided.

They exchanged glances, still shaken.

"Those ahead just passed through without triggering the禁制. Why did it trigger such a terrifying one when we came?" Zhuge Qingxuan said, his face dark.

Zhuge Qingxuan had driven those martial artists in to use them as cannon fodder.

But they were fine, while he was nearly blasted to bits by the禁制. It infuriated him.

Old Han's face was equally grim. All the men he brought were dead, their souls obliterated by the禁制.

"Exactly! Several people walked through just now without issue. Why did it trigger when we passed?" Old Han said gloomily.

Zhuge Qingxuan glanced at him suspiciously. "Could one of your men have been careless and triggered the禁制?"

Old Han's expression shifted, and he finally sighed. "That's probably the only explanation."

He couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Damn it! Why bring such useless trash? They're good for nothing but causing trouble!" Zhuge Qingxuan said darkly.

He was furious. Ever since entering this tomb, nothing had gone smoothly for him.

It seemed as if the Divine Dao sect's ruins were targeting him alone.

Old Han was also furious. "Zhuge Qingxuan, don't act so high and mighty! Do you think I'm really afraid of you?"
