The only passage in the corner was exactly where a large number of ghosts had just poured out.
"Well, after the previous wave of attacks, at least 60 to 70 percent of the remaining ghosts in this tomb have been eliminated. The rest have already fled back and will regroup near the center. Everyone should be more careful next time."
Feng Zai Yu was standing beside Fang Guangjun at this time. He looked around and spoke slowly.
The cleanup here must be completed as soon as possible, so there will be no time for them to recuperate, and the several disciples who died or were seriously injured were all from other branches.
Although there was grief and anger on his face, he was not as sad as he appeared in his heart. As long as the death was not among the important disciples of his lineage, casualties were always inevitable.
"Then let's clean this place up quickly!"
Seeing that Feng Zaiyu had finished speaking, Fang Guangjun immediately walked towards the passage in the corner, acting very efficiently and effectively.
All the disciples of the Feng family in the tomb hall, except for the dead disciple, were collected and placed on a stone step.
Including three seriously injured disciples, after swallowing the pills, they were able to muster up the strength to follow.
They stayed here to recuperate, and were safe for the time being. Even the ghosts from somewhere else outside would not come here so quickly.
It would be impossible to let them go back on their own because they do not have the ability to activate the protective formation.
The most important thing is that they have already come here, and they would feel unfair if they were asked to give up and stay where they are now.
They came here to gain opportunities. After the battle just now, they did not get much benefit from some ghosts. Now as long as they can move, they will try their best to catch up. The opportunity may still be waiting for them ahead.
When they entered the corner passage, another huge maze appeared at their feet. After twists and turns, a fork in the road would appear every few dozen steps.
Only one of these forked roads leads to the lair of the foundation-building ghost, and the rest are because he is constantly expanding his lair and connecting the nearby tombs.
At this time, Fang Guangjun was standing in the middle of an intersection with four forked roads. After he withdrew his spiritual sense, he spoke to Feng Zai Yu behind him.
“We have just lured out most of the ghosts here and killed them. The ones that have escaped now, including those that did not leave before, are estimated to be less than 30%.
My spiritual sense can also sense their presence, and I can also sense the aura of the lair of that foundation-building ghost. The yin and bloody smells there are particularly strong!
It's in the direction of the first passage on my right hand side. However, you in the Feng family should know this situation better than me. What I sensed was only the strength of the aura, not the exact route.
Usually, the foundation-building ghosts that appear in this kind of tombs are of high intelligence, and they are very concerned about protecting their own nests.
Therefore, they might be using magic to cover up, and my perception might be wrong. Rushing all the way there might not necessarily lead to the destination.
Of course, there is at least a 50% chance that my perception is correct, but it is only in the direction. If I follow the scent, I will most likely end up in a dead end.
The correct way is to go around from another direction or another fork in the road.
You should understand what I mean by this, and this is why your ancestors asked you to come here."
He seemed to be talking to Feng Zai Yu, but his voice could still be heard clearly by everyone behind him.
Feng Zai Yu bowed respectfully and said, "Senior, what you said is very true. Even if you don't say it now, I still want to remind you that we must separate and clean up, and each enter a fork in the road.
While killing the ghosts inside, everyone can also have opportunities. My Feng family knows all this.
I just hope that Senior, Fellow Daoist Tang and others, if you are the first to enter the lair of the foundation-building ghost, in addition to not destroying the tomb structure and the underground Yin Qi veins, you can take the rest of the things on your own."
The main purpose of the Feng family's attack on the tomb is to occupy the tomb with rich yin energy. This is the important source of their strength improvement. The rest can only be regarded as extra surprises.
The reason why the foundation tomb is filled with strong yin energy is precisely due to its unique construction and location, which is what ordinary people call a "feng shui treasure land."
Therefore, the Feng family absolutely does not want the structure of the tomb to be destroyed, unless it is damaged in a battle.
"Well, in that case, you are the master of the Feng family, please choose a route first, and I will go in one direction at the end."
Fang Guangjun said this with a smile on his face. Feng Zai Yu was not polite either. He turned and spoke to the other family heads behind him.
"Then each of you go in. Remember, although gaining opportunities is important, clearing out the ghosts inside is even more necessary.
Don’t wait until the ancestor comes and finds that there are still unsealed ghosts here. The ancestor will definitely be angry, and the consequences are not something we can bear. "
After saying that, he clasped his fists towards Tang Tian and the others behind him, and flew straight to a fork in the road with Feng Tao and the others. He actually did not choose the first passage on the right that Fang Guangjun had pointed to.
In fact, after entering these four forked passages, there will be more branching passages, so even if everyone here enters one passage now, they will separate later.
Although there are many forking passages here, fortunately, the size of this tomb is only about fifty miles, so they are often not too long, and will just make you go around in circles.
Finally, when you are dizzy and reach the end of a fork in the road, there will be a tomb of varying sizes, and the road ends there.
As to whether it is the destination you want to reach, it is unknown.
Soon, all the Feng family members stepped into the four forked passages, and Fang Guangjun glanced at Tang Tian and the others.
"Do you want to stay here or go in and have a look? There aren't many ghosts left in there, but we haven't explored what's in their lair yet."
He just noticed that these people were not cooperating at all, so their survival would depend on their personal strength in the end. So whether to continue entering would depend on whether they were willing or not.
Tang Tian also looked at the three people behind him.
"I want to go in and take a look. I heard that the origin of the Yinshan Tomb is unknown. I have to walk through it thoroughly to make the trip worthwhile." After saying that, he did not look at Li Yan and Tian Denghu this time. He walked towards the first passage on the left, and Wu Yizheng followed him.
It would not surprise anyone that Wu Yizhen was with Tang Tian, so Tang Tian did not ask Wu Yizhen's opinion.
Tang Tiandu could hear the temptation in Fang Guangjun's words. He knew that Zhang Ming and Tian Denghu would not miss this opportunity, so there was no need for him to provoke them. Just adding fuel to the fire was enough.
Sure enough, after a slight hesitation, Tian Denghu immediately ran towards Tang Tian's back. Hearing the footsteps behind him, Tang Tian raised a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.
Li Yan turned his head and looked around, then he turned around and flew towards the first passage on the right alone.
His action made Tang Tian, who was about to step into the passage, pause slightly, and the mocking look on his face became even stronger.
"Do you really think that the lair of a foundation-building ghost creature is so easy to reveal?"
Then, Tang Tian's figure disappeared in the passage. Wu Yizheng behind him looked at Li Yan's disappearing back with some surprise, his mouth opened.
Finally, seeing that Tang Tian had already turned into the fork in the road and seemed to not want to get involved, he could only shut up and follow him.
"Are you looking for death alone? Even I don't dare to do that. Ignorance is fearless..."
Tian Denghu snorted in his heart, then walked away quickly.
After watching everyone enter different forks in the road, Fang Guangjun looked at the passage that Tang Tian and the other two entered, and then looked at the passage that Li Yan entered.
That was exactly the route that he had told Feng Zai Yu before, the most likely route to reach the lair of the foundation-building ghost.
"Interesting, hehe!"
He chuckled, and then, in a flash, he disappeared from the spot, leaving only a fleeting afterimage at the fork in the road that Tang Tian and the other two had just entered.
With Fang Guangjun's departure, the four forks in the road were no longer empty, with only gusts of cold wind blowing. Just five breaths later, a faint shadow suddenly appeared where Fang Guangjun had just stood.
Li Yan looked at the passage that Fang Guangjun and Tang Tian entered. His eyes flashed, and he chuckled, saying the same words as Fang Guangjun.
"Is it interesting? Haha, it's really interesting!"
Then, his figure faded again, as if he was a real ghost wandering in the tomb.
When Li Yan appeared again, he had already stepped onto the fork in the passage that Feng Zai Yu and his group had entered.
"The Feng family should have unique sensing instruments or magical treasures. Otherwise, how could Feng Zai Yu choose so accurately?"
Li Yan entered the passage and after walking two miles, two forks appeared in front of him. From one of the forks, he could smell the breath of Feng Zai Yu and his group, and this was the road Li Yan was going to go.
With Li Yan's powerful spiritual sense, the illusions here have no effect on him at all. He can sense the true location of the ghost's nest thirty miles away.
The path that Feng Zai Yu in front of him was taking was surprisingly the same as the one he sensed. Every time he came to a new fork in the road, he would choose a path without any hesitation and step into it, as if he had been there before.
During this period, if he chose another path once, they would all go around in a big circle and end up in another direction.
Just like the road in front of Li Yan now, in his spiritual consciousness, this road will split into four forks after five miles, and there will be three more forks there.
If you continue walking, there will be more branches, but only one will lead directly to a tomb, which is the end of the road, allowing people to return as soon as possible.
But in that tomb, there was a dried-up ghost at the ninth level of Qi Condensation sleeping, and the previous battle failed to wake it up.
In most tombs, just as Fang Guangjun said, all the ghosts have been attracted out and killed, but the types of ghosts and their ways of survival are different.
Some ghosts are often difficult to awaken without strong stimulation. Therefore, if a monk here takes a wrong path and encounters such a situation, it will not be as simple as wasting time if he wants to turn back.
As the number of forks in the road increases, the monks here may become more and more scattered, and it is normal for a few monks to die.
Of course, if you don’t want to go straight to the ghost’s lair, then you can go anywhere, as you are just looking for opportunities.
What's more, the purpose of their coming here is to clear out all the ghosts here.
But everyone knows that the greatest benefit should be in the lair of the foundation-building ghost, so naturally, they still want to reach the main tomb first. Anyway, the foundation-building ghost has already died.
After passing three more forks in the road, Li Yan, who was following behind, finally confirmed one thing: Feng Zai Yu must have some kind of magic weapon on him that could sense or locate direction.
At the same time, Feng Zai Yu and his group in front had no intention of separating. They found a direction without hesitation and kept moving forward, which was exactly the same direction Li Yan was going.
"Perhaps it is a magical weapon that can sense the density of Yin energy. After all, they have never been here before!"
Li Yan made this judgment because although he had already seen the route clearly in his spiritual consciousness, after removing the illusion, the concentration of yin energy in these fork passages was very strong.
Of course, among Feng Zai Yu and his group, there cannot be anyone who possesses the same abnormal spiritual awareness as Li Yan that can break through illusions.
"Do you want to grab it and have a look?"
Li Yan thought to himself, but the thought only flashed through his mind and he immediately dismissed the idea. It would be unwise to let people know that there are unpredictable things here.
