Lu Huan glanced at Mu Qianjin running below and sighed inwardly, "Qianjin, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop her."
Lu Huan doesn't like influencing other people's decisions, just as he doesn't like being influenced himself. He's not good at persuading people, and he'll give up if others insist even a little bit.
Conversely, his decisions will not be affected no matter what.
The ancient tomb felt very strange. People had clearly gone in before, but now there was nothing there, as if it had vanished into thin air. The entrance to the ancient tomb was like the entrance to an abyss.
A large crowd had gathered outside the ancient tomb, all of them preparing to go in. However, they were not in a hurry, as it was still early and they had plenty of time to consider.
"What do you think this ancient tomb is all about? The people who went in just now gave a signal before they went in, but they disappeared without a trace a second later. I feel like it's like some kind of creature has a stomach and this side is the mouth."
"You idiot, what kind of creature would come from in an ancient capital? As far as I know, it's just empty inside. You'll fall in once you go in, so it's normal that there's no movement."
"Otherwise, even if I fell in, there would definitely be a sound. The fact that no sound can be heard here shows that it's not because of that."
The group chatted aimlessly, and after listening for a while, Mu Qianjin realized that what they were saying was completely useless; it would be more practical to just go inside.
Mu Qianjin walked around the group of people and was about to go in when suddenly a hand blocked her way. A person dressed lightly in short sleeves and shorts, as if they were on vacation, stood in front of her.
He glanced at Mu Qianjin, then moved to completely block her view.
"Little sister, you can't go in, or you'll die." These words quieted the surroundings down considerably; no matter what, cursing someone to death is wrong.
They silently created some distance between themselves and this person, so as not to get too close and be caught in the crossfire later.
The magical energy around Mu Qianjin surged for a moment, then calmed down. "I understand. Now, could you please leave? I need to go inside."
"Alright, I admit I misjudged. The one before would definitely die, but now it's hard to say, hard to say." The man smiled and stepped aside, watching Mu Qianjin enter the ancient tomb step by step, and then disappear completely.
Although he entered alone, it did not stir up any thoughts.
"By the way, my name is Wang Shichong."
The man only shouted inside after Mu Qianjin disappeared.
Wang Shichong chuckled, unsure if the people inside had heard him. Noticing the strange expressions on the faces of those behind him, he waved his hand and said, "You guys continue. I'm just here for the fun. It's no trouble."
Wang Shichong smiled and walked into the crowd, disappearing from sight as if he had vanished.
"Who brought this guy?"
"I don't know, I guess she came alone. That little girl from before also came alone."
"Sigh, what a pity about that girl. She's so beautiful, yet she went in there to commit suicide. I don't know what she was thinking. Wang Shichong tried to stop her, but she still insisted on going in..."
Mu Qianjin was just a minor incident. They should continue discussing what they were talking about. Wang Shichong mingled in the crowd, a slight smile appearing on his lips. His gaze turned icy, and he exuded an aura of death. Fortunately, he was surrounded by bodies, so it was normal for him to smell a little bad. No one noticed anything unusual about his change.
This change was short-lived; he quickly returned to normal.
"It's still impossible to completely suppress it; we still need the Undead Lord Crystal left behind by the Ancient King," Wang Shichong murmured, a hint of longing in his eyes.
Inside the ancient tomb, Mu Qianjin's view was blocked after entering, and she couldn't back up. She couldn't distinguish between the front and the back, but she still heard the voice of the person from before.
"Wang Shichong...what a strange name." Mu Qianjin muttered, then continued walking forward. Little did she know that beneath her feet, if she went down, she would find her own body lying there, its gaze peaceful, as if its soul had been taken away.
It wasn't just her; there were many other bodies inside.
However, Mu Qianjin did not notice that even when she looked down, she only saw pitch blackness and nothing at all.
Without any direction to guide her, Mu Qianjin just kept walking forward, and fortunately, she soon saw light.
Mu Qianjin ran over quickly, and her vision suddenly opened up. It seemed like a huge city, with a red flag, whereas just now it was the white flag.
There was a huge arena between the two camps.
Apart from a magnificent house in the middle, the rest of the houses were thatched huts. Occasionally, people would come out of the space. When they saw Mu Qianjin, their eyes lit up at first. They hadn't seen such a beautiful girl in a long time, but their eyes dimmed immediately.
Who has the heart to care about these things in this godforsaken place?
"Welcome to hell, child." The person who came to meet Mu Qianjin was very tall, standing at 1.9 meters, and full of strength. His magical cultivation was also quite high, probably even stronger than Mu Qianjin's.
"Isn't this inside the Tomb of the Dead?" Mu Qianjin asked.
"Yes, this is the Tomb of the Dead. It's not a problem that the outside is a bit shabby but the inside is a bit luxurious. Our life here won't be easy, so you'd better be prepared."
"My name is President Qiao, my surname is Qiao, and my given name is President. If you don't like calling me President Qiao, you can call me Old Qiao," President Qiao said.
"There are some things here that can't be explained without experiencing them for yourself. There's a competition coming up later, we can go and take a look, and I'll explain it to you while we're at it," said President Qiao.
He led Mu Qianjin toward the white side's camp, and many people greeted him along the way.
"How long after the ancient tomb appeared did you arrive outside?"
"21 days," Mu Qianjin replied after a moment's thought.
"Twenty-one days? I was admitted on the 19th day."
"That was right when it was first opened up the day before yesterday."
"Yes, but I've spent five years here." Seeing Mu Qianjin's incredulous expression, he couldn't help but smile. "Don't be surprised. Everyone who came here came together, but the length of time they stayed varies. The longest one has stayed is twenty years. I've stayed exactly five years."
"It's...unbelievable." Mu Qianjin didn't know what to say. Twenty years, and that's up to him. Although not much time has passed in the outside world, they have indeed experienced that long. This feeling is very strange.
If only three days have passed in the outside world, but thirty years have passed for them, even if they could go out, they would be out of touch with the outside world.
"As for the timeframe, I'm not entirely sure what it is. You can investigate when you have the chance. We're not short of time anyway." President Qiao smiled and led Ms. Mu into the White Camp's headquarters.
