Reincarnated Swordmaster

Chapter Title: Dark Heaven Village

A crown rested atop the skull. The strange thing was that this skull was clearly the remains of a king, yet in this vast space, only the jade throne and the skull sat desolate. Moreover, it was proper to lay a royal corpse to rest properly, and to die seated like this bordered on desecration of the sovereign's remains.

Mang Ryang pondered for a moment before extending his hand.

Rumble rumble.

In the next instant, human-sized mud dolls rose from the ground. Using the Earth Escape Technique, Mang Ryang advanced the mud dolls toward the skull. They scouted the area, checking for traps. Once confirmed safe, Mang Ryang slowly walked forward and looked down at the skull.

Then, moments later, Mang Ryang placed his hand on the skull.

Woooong.

Light emanated from the skull, and a silver path unfurled behind the throne's backrest. With a natural silver glow, a hidden space revealed itself, and we entered it. Inside stretched a neatly arranged necropolis, with bookshelves sealed in one corner holding all manner of tomes.

But what surprised us wasn't the necropolis itself.
