Chapter 1440 - Tomb Opens
The law creatures were chanting an ancient spell, led by some of the stronger creatures. Various talismans danced in the sky, inscribed in a strange, ancient, and cryptic language.
People at Chen Fan’s level could learn almost any language; when he saw these strange characters, his head began spinning, unable to decipher them at all.
“These law creatures are truly terrifying. If they obtained the legacy of the tomb master, perhaps it would be another form of reincarnation,” Chen Fan said with narrowed eyes.
These beings were manifestations of the laws the tomb’s master had once comprehended; each carried fragments of his insight and consciousness. They had cultivated the true teachings of the ancient emperor and had sentience. Now, they sought to open the ancient emperor’s tomb and claim his entire legacy.
Chen Fan’s gaze swept across the sky. He saw numerous powerful figures hiding in the void.
Although their concealment techniques were excellent, they couldn’t hide from the Eye of Breaking Deception. He saw them in an instant.
Chen Fan saw Ji Lanshan, Xie Qingjin, and the others. He also saw Xiao Ruyue’s group. Aside from them, there were also some other eighth and ninth-stage half-immortals, all hiding in the dark, waiting for these law creatures to open the tomb.
“Let’s stay hidden for now. Better not to draw attention.”
Chen Fan did not join up with Xiao Ruyue recklessly. With so many pairs of eyes watching, the slightest movement could make him stand out—a single nail hammered down by the collective.
Li Yu didn’t object to Chen Fan’s suggestion. He understood the danger all too well.
