"Boom rumble..."

Once again, a loud noise came from outside. As the group just stepped onto the passageway leading deeper into the tomb chamber, they halted instantly.

The secret technique within the Dragon Corpse had been activated earlier, causing the first chamber to collapse completely. So, what could be making this loud noise now?

Black Feathered Chicken glared at everyone: "Why are you all staring at Master Chicken?"

"What's with this sound?"

"How should I know, your Grandfather Chicken is no deity." Black Feathered Chicken rolled its eyes and said.

Chen Nan said, "Then share your guess."

"Maybe a powerful expert has entered, forcefully opening the blocked passage of the tomb chamber." Black Feathered Chicken said uncertainly. Just as it finished speaking, another loud noise came, followed by the sound of stones falling. It seemed someone really was forcefully blasting open the blocked passage.

"Looks like a master has really come in." Chen Nan said.

"The previous five masters have already died in the Eight Trigrams Array; these people must have arrived later." Black Feathered Chicken pointed ahead: "Let's go quickly; if they catch up, any good stuff inside won't be ours."

The group picked up their pace, heading deeper into the tomb chamber.

After passing through a narrow, cave-like passage, they arrived at the third chamber.

Compared to the spaciousness of the first two chambers, this third one was much smaller, with a floor area of only about 100 square meters. The surroundings were uneven stones, and countless rubble and dust covered the ground.

As Chen Nan took a step into this chamber, his foot sank nearly half a foot deep.

It wasn't that the ground was too loose, but the dust was just that thick. The half-foot he sank was all dust.

Beneath the half-foot was the real ground.

Everyone was astonished: "How can there be so much dust?"

"Thunk..."

A dull heartbeat sound echoed again, as if from next door.

The entire chamber shook violently, dust rose from the ground, and small stones fell from the surrounding stone walls.

Everyone immediately realized that the half-foot-deep dust was stone powder shattered by these heartbeat sounds over many years.

Nobody knew how many years it took to accumulate this half-foot of dust.

As everyone wondered, Black Feathered Chicken said, "The heartbeat sound is already very close, likely next door. However, this chamber doesn't seem to have an entrance deeper inside."

Everyone scanned the surroundings, looking for an entrance.

Just then, Zhao Han pointed to the stone wall beside him and said, "Look, there's a blue light here."

The originally uneven stone wall, after the previous heartbeat sound shook it, lost a fist-sized stone to the ground, revealing a source of blue light, which was blocked on both sides by stone, almost invisible without careful observation.

"There must be something peculiar here. Smash through the stone wall to see what's going on!" Black Feathered Chicken said.

Zhao Han didn't say a word; he directly slashed with a Flying Sword, causing a barrage of rubble. The stone wall got smashed, revealing a large hole, and a bucket-thick blue light appeared before everyone.

Black Feathered Chicken said, "This should be the entrance."

"I'll break it open a bit wider." Zhao Han was about to move the Flying Sword when Hua Xian'er stopped him and then used Earth Magic. The rubble from the stone wall continued to fall, revealing an entrance three meters high, two meters wide.

However, a blue barrier sealed this entrance, making it impossible to see inside.

"What is this blue light?"

Zhao Han said, "Whatever it is, we'll know once we go in."

Black Feathered Chicken quickly stopped him, "Don't rush in. If there's any danger, we're doomed. It's best to be cautious in a place like this."

Just then—

"Hahaha, I never thought a few juniors in the Control Realm would come this far."

The sound of laughter came as three elders entered the chamber with seven or eight middle-aged men.

Seeing these people, Chen Nan's face immediately turned grim.

The Inner Strength fluctuations from these people were all Cultivation Techniques of the Corpse-controlling Sect. At this moment, one of the middle-aged men recognized him, saying, "Chen Nan, I never thought it would be you again!"

"And so what if it's me?" Chen Nan replied coldly.

One of the elders took two steps forward, pointed at Chen Nan, and shouted, "Chen Nan, since we meet here today, I want to ask you something. A few months ago, during the Yin and Yang Sects' civil war within my Corpse-controlling Sect, was it you who raided my Medicinal Herb Garden and Alchemy Room?"

Chen Nan shrugged and shook his head, "Of course not. I am an upright gentleman; how could I do such a thing?"

Upright gentleman!

Hearing those words, Black Feathered Chicken almost wanted to retort immediately.

But, considering the enemy was right in front, it had to dismiss the thought.

After all, these three elders were all Heavenly Passage Experts, and the eight middle-aged men were all Earth Penetration high-levels. If they started a fight, there would only be one way out: death.

The elder snorted coldly, "Such trivial matters are beneath me. But since this involves my Corpse-controlling Sect's reputation, as we've met today, I must look into it. Chen Nan, if you have nothing to hide, open your storage ring for me to inspect."

"That's unlikely," Chen Nan shook his head, refusing.

"If I want to check, you have no say in the matter."

The elder snorted coldly, Inner Strength in his hand, preparing to make a move.

Black Feathered Chicken was anxious. If this Heavenly Passage Expert made a move, all four of them combined would still die. With three Heavenly Passage Experts on the other side, the power wasn't on the same level. It hurriedly said, "Please don't be angry, senior, I have something to say."

The elder glanced at it with disdain, "A mere beast, what could you have to say?"

"I know the secret of the Dragon Emperor's Tomb. If you don't kill us, I can tell you," Black Feathered Chicken said.

The elder raised an eyebrow and quickly asked, "Are you saying this ancient tomb is the Dragon Emperor's tomb?"

Black Feathered Chicken nodded repeatedly, "Senior, are you unaware?"

The elder said, "Stop wasting time. Quickly tell me, what is the secret? Otherwise, I'll ensure you have no burial site."

"In one of the earlier chambers, I obtained an Ancient Scroll that records the Dragon Emperor's secret." Black Feathered Chicken pointed to the blue barrier at the entrance, saying, "The scroll says this is the Dragon Emperor's burial place, with a Purple Gold Box inside holding the Ancient Scripture of the Dragon Emperor's cultivation and its strongest weapon from its lifetime."

The elder was excited upon hearing this and shouted, "Where is this Purple Gold Box hidden?"

"Sorry, even this little chicken doesn't know." Black Feathered Chicken shook its head and pointed to the entrance, "However, it's definitely inside here. You'll know once you enter and look."
