Chapter 202 - 173: Thousand-Year Tomb 2 - Emperor Qi Yuan
The sound of the Stone Gate opening and closing alerted the three Tianshi not far away. They exchanged glances, understanding that it must be Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin. They hadn’t expected those two to be alive in the face of so many Thousand Corpse Worms, but since they weren’t dead, the trio knew they had to complete their mission.
They picked up their guns and ran over, determined to eliminate the two and redeem themselves upon their return.
The Stone Gate closed in front of the three men.
Inside the Stone Gate, Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin looked around, only to see over a dozen Stone Coffins neatly arranged before them.
Qin Qin didn’t move forward but turned to Mo Yunchen and said, "These couldn’t be the ones buried with the dead, could they?!"
A pensive look crossed Mo Yunchen’s enchanting face, and he nodded, "Yes, they should be!"
"Whose tomb is this, to have such a grand set-up with even a dozen bodies buried with it?" Qin Qin walked forward, pushed hard on one of the coffins, and revealed a skeletal body inside. It was unmistakably female, as the intricate hairpin and the palace attire on the remains indicated. This attire and the hairpin signified she was a Jieyu, one of imperial palace rank.
"It must be an emperor who’s buried here, just like the legends say about the Emperor’s Tomb!"
