"It should be, Wan Nu Wang's eternal life is to do this to himself, and then be trapped here, and finally use this formation to get out? This is all a routine!"
Professor Hu found it hard to accept.
"You forgot one more thing, and that is memory inheritance. Their memories are all the memories of past Wan Nu Wangs. As long as they have memories, they achieve eternal life."
The dean added from the side.
Centuries of waiting were for this day. Who could accept such a situation?
As expected of an emperor, one truly cannot underestimate them.
"Let's think about what will happen to them later. This Wan Nu Wang will not let these mercenaries and the archaeological team go."
Another professor said with lingering unease.
"Zhou Lin is here, nothing will happen. You should look forward to what treasures Zhou Lin will show you later."
Professor Wen said softly.
The others then agreed.
Inside the tomb.
"Professor Zhou Lin, why don't we hide? Will this affect your performance?"
Professor Lin wanted to slip away, but he didn't know if it was possible.
"You just left me here? How much did you pay me? This is equivalent to a bodyguard!"
Thinking about this, Zhou Lin felt very wronged.
"Two hundred thousand, at most. Do you think that's acceptable?"
Elder Tang was prepared, knowing that Zhou Lin would definitely ask for money, and finally decided to offer the highest price.
But if Zhou Lin still didn't accept, then they could only wait for death together.
"Alright, deal. You guys should leave quickly, otherwise it will be bad if you encounter danger later."
Zhou Lin agreed readily and then looked at them with a gentle attitude.
His tone was completely different from before.
Wan Nu Wang watched them leave, then looked at Zhou Lin, his expression even more grim than before.
"You killed the High Priest."
Wan Nu Wang looked at the empty coffin.
He looked at Zhou Lin displeased.
"Damn it, are you speaking human language? You did it yourself and want to push it onto me. Isn't that too much? I'm not taking the blame!"
"You absorbed too much Yin energy yourself and couldn't control the amount, then you pushed it onto me. Do you think I'm an idiot? Everyone is watching."
Zhou Lin didn't expect Wan Nu Wang to have such an idea. He really thought of himself as someone important, someone who could be blamed for anything.
In this new era, evidence is important.
Hearing this, Wan Nu Wang fell into thought. He had indeed felt a very comfortable Yin energy before, and it was also because he had reached a bottleneck.
So he wouldn't let go of such an opportunity. It was a great chance that he couldn't miss.
But now, even if he didn't kill him, it was still him who killed him. As long as he said it, then he killed him. No matter who it was, he was the emperor, so he killed him. What he said was right.
"As this King says you killed him, then you killed him."
Wan Nu Wang's words made Zhou Lin spit out a mouthful of blood. This was pushing him to his death, wasn't it? Everything was his fault.
"Damn it, you really think I'm illiterate? You say whatever you want. I'm telling you, don't even think about it. I'm not your subject. Don't put on airs of an emperor in front of me. I won't tolerate this kind of behavior."
As Zhou Lin spoke, he drew out his Azure Dragon Sword.
"As this King says you are, then you are."
Wan Nu Wang then flicked his tail and swept it towards Zhou Lin.
"Bah, don't even think about it. You want to be remembered in history? Dream on."
Zhou Lin then exerted force with his feet, leaped up, and stabbed the Azure Dragon Sword heavily onto the tail.
Elder Tang and Professor Lin, who were watching from the side, were stunned.
Was it just about shifting blame? Was he angry because the blame wasn't shifted successfully? Was that it?
Was that a reason to kill Professor Zhou Lin?
It would have been better to just say it directly, that anyone who came here would die. That reason would have been better than shifting blame.
"This is using Zhou Lin as a scapegoat."
Professor Lin said slowly after a moment of silence.
No one could provoke the dignity of an emperor.
"Who is the scapegoat is yet to be determined."
Elder Tang watched as Zhou Lin split Wan Nu Wang's tail and smiled at Zhou Lin.
In the live broadcast room.
"Damn, is this a reason for a fight?"
"It should be. Mainly, this emperor wanted to find an excuse for himself, so he said that."
"Then I really don't know the meaning of doing this. It's normal to make a move and want to kill a big shot, isn't it?"
"This kind of formalism is normal."
...
Inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin saw that Wan Nu Wang's tail had been split open by him and severed.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Wan Nu Wang's arms shaking up and down. As they shook, a lot of Yin energy appeared around, forming human shapes.
But these human shapes were starting to grow eyes and eyebrows, each with a different expression. This was truly a rare sight.
Mainly, these Yin energies were ghosts, wearing all sorts of attire, and there were many of them.
The mercenaries in the shadows and the archaeological team members on the side felt their hearts sink. This was not a good sign. Would something happen?
Could Zhou Lin handle it himself?
"Captain, are we just going to watch like this?"
The other mercenaries asked curiously.
"What do you think you can do? Which of these things can you afford to offend? Our bullets are ineffective, and it will only bring trouble to Professor Zhou Lin. It would be good enough if we can protect the professor and the archaeological team."
Captain Lin also wanted to go forward and help, but thinking that he couldn't help at all, he could only say this.
The other mercenaries behind him felt useless and could only watch from the side.
"Strange, why do these ghosts look so strange? It's like people from different eras."
Elder Tang saw their appearance and attire and felt that something was wrong.
These clothes were from the Ming Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and even from the present and the Republic of China era, as well as from Japan...
Damn it, this situation is not right.
"This is the Yin energy of the people around. They are not soldiers, nor are they followers of Wan Nu Wang."
Professor Lin seemed to have thought of something and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
"You mean the Yin energy from the people around this mountain? The vengeful spirits of ordinary people?"
Elder Tang seemed to have thought of something and quickly said.
Damn it, innocent people have been dragged into this.
What would Zhou Lin do now?
Seeing the scene before him, Zhou Lin's heart was filled with anger.
This bastard, he had actually trapped all these vengeful spirits.
