Chapter 715 Coffin Mountain
According to reports from his agents, the artifact, the Immortality Disc, appeared in a tomb underground in Longjiao Mountain.
Collecting the artifact as quickly as possible is the top priority of the Spirit Detective Organization.
Upon hearing the news, Chen Yile did not dare to delay and immediately asked Lin Feihong and Wei Ye to lead people to Longjiao Mountain with him.
Longjiao Mountain is located among the continuous mountains in the south and is also known as "Coffin Mountain".
It is named "Coffin Mountain" because Longjiao Mountain has been the final resting place of the dead nearby since ancient times.
Thousands of coffins were placed on the mountain wall, some half-buried in the soil, some tilted on the hillside, as densely packed as a honeycomb.
According to local people, on every full-moon night, blue ghost lights will float out of these coffins, wandering in the mountains and making shrill cries.
Chen Yile stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the eerie and terrifying scene in front of him with a frown on his face.
He was wearing a dark grey windbreaker and had a magic sword called Gan Jiang on his waist. The scabbard was engraved with ancient runes.
As the current vice president of the Psychic Detective Organization, Chen Yile has seen too many bizarre things, but the sight of the mountains filled with coffins still gave him a chill.
"Brother Yile, this place is really weird."
Lin Feihong on the side whispered.
At this moment, he was holding a freedom stick in his hand and looking around vigilantly.
Chen Yile said in a deep voice, "Feihong, the people from the Changsheng Sect have probably already gotten there first. We need to find the location of the Dongyang King's Tomb as soon as possible."
The two walked up the rugged mountain road.
The air of the coffin mountain was filled with a faint stench of decay, as if it was the scent emitted by corpses that had been piled up for thousands of years.
The dead branches and leaves under my feet made a rustling sound, and occasionally I could hear a few strange bird calls coming from the distance.
"Brother Yile, I have discovered something."
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Chen Yile turned around and saw Wei Ye running towards him, panting.
Wei Ye's face was as pale as paper, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"It is certain that the people from the Changsheng Sect have entered the Dongyang King's Tomb."
Wei Ye said breathlessly.
"They set up a barrier at the entrance of the mausoleum, and our people were repelled when they approached."
Chen Yile frowned. "Boundary? What type?"
"It seems to be an ancient curse. Anyone who gets close will..."
Wei Ye suddenly stopped talking here, and his expression became even uglier.
"What will happen?" Chen Yile asked.
"They'll be pulled in by the dead people in the coffins."
"What?" Chen Yile's pupils shrank.
"It's true!" Wei Ye said anxiously, "I saw with my own eyes that when an agent approached the barrier, something suddenly grabbed his ankle."
"He struggled like hell, but those hands, those hands came out of the ground and dragged him into the dirt!"
Chen Yile was silent for a moment, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. "It seems that the Changsheng Sect has invested a lot of money this time. Feihong, you take your men to guard the perimeter and don't let the Changsheng Sect members escape. Wei Ye, come with me."
The three of them quickly approached a huge cave on the mountainside. This was the entrance to the Dongyang King's Tomb that Wei Ye had discovered.
Moonlight streamed in through the hole, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
Chen Yile stood outside the cave entrance, feeling the cold air coming from inside.
"Brother Yile, this barrier is too weird."
Lin Feihong pointed at a faint blue light curtain at the entrance of the cave and said.
"I used a magical tool to detect it. This barrier can block all spiritual energy and spells."
Chen Yile nodded, a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.
"The Changsheng Sect is indeed not simple. However, I have a solution."
He drew the sword from his waist, and a golden light suddenly appeared on the sword.
"Are you ready?" Chen Yile asked.
"We're ready." Lin Feihong and Wei Ye answered in unison.
Chen Yile took a deep breath and strode into the cave.
In an instant, a biting chill hit me in the face.
The air in the cave was so humid that you could almost squeeze water out of it, and the walls were covered with moss and vines.
What made people even more uncomfortable was that the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Lin Feihong suddenly stopped and said, "Something seems wrong here."
Chen Yile turned around and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Lao Xu swallowed his saliva: "I feel like someone is watching us."
Chen Yile nodded and said calmly, "Keep going forward."
The three of them groped forward cautiously. The path in the cave became narrower and narrower, and some ancient murals began to appear on the walls on both sides.
The painting depicts some figures in strange costumes performing some kind of ritual, and the figures' eyes seem to move as they move.
Wei Ye suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I found a fork in the road ahead."
Chen Yile stopped and asked: "Left or right?"
"There's a very heavy yin energy on the left, and a very strange spiritual power fluctuation on the right."
Chen Yile closed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to sense the surrounding aura.
After a moment, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
"The left side leads to the main tomb chamber, but a barrier has been set up there by the Changsheng Sect. There's a very powerful force on the right side that's attracting me."
"Is that the immortality disc?" Lin Feihong asked excitedly.
"It's very possible, but this road is not easy to take."
Chen Yile said in a deep voice.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew from the right.
The three of them subconsciously turned around and saw a strange light suddenly appear on the right side of the cave wall.
Something seemed to be moving in the light.
"Be careful!" Chen Yile shouted.
Before he finished speaking, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out from the light! It was a figure wearing a tattered white robe and a hideous mask on his face.
The man in white robe held a rusty scimitar in his hand, and dark red liquid dripped from the blade.
"It's someone from the Changsheng Sect!"
Lin Feihong immediately raised his shovel to fight.
The man in white robes laughed strangely: "Hahaha! I knew you would come to my door!"
The battle breaks out instantly!
The man in white robes attacked the three people waving a scimitar.
Chen Yile raised his sword to block, but there was a crisp "clang" sound and sparks flew everywhere.
The scimitar of the man in white robe carried a strange power, which made Chen Yile's arm numb.
"There's something wrong with this knife!" Chen Yile's heart trembled.
At the same time, Lin Feihong and Wei Ye were also entangled by two men under the white-robed man.
Those people were also wearing white robes, with ferocious masks on their faces, and the weapons in their hands also exuded a strange aura.
"Brother Yile, over here!" Lin Feihong shouted while resisting the enemy's attack.
Chen Yile quickly adjusted his tactics, and wherever the sword pointed, a golden light appeared.
He knew that he couldn't fight here for long and had to find the location of the Immortality Disc as soon as possible.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that the light on the right side of the cave wall had become brighter. That light seemed to be guiding something...
