Chapter 1860 Bigger Trouble
Therefore, I trusted Zhao Yuezhu even more.
Ye Yang was telling me that the person in front of us was the Yueying Thief.
The Yueying Thief had crossed the Yellow Springs River and was lurking within Zhao Yuezhu's body.
The Yueying Thief's return meant that their souls had become one. Even if Zhao Yuezhu wasn't devoured by the Yueying Thief, the Yueying Thief would definitely be the dominant one.
So what if she remembered the various memories of the Liangjie Hall?
Those were just fragments to her.
She had already returned to the Thief Sect.
The Eight Great Thieves were her closest kin.
The Liangjie Hall was just a passing fancy.
Zhao Yuezhu might not hesitate to sacrifice the Liangjie Hall for the sake of the Eight Great Thieves.
I remained silent, my mind constantly racing. By the time Zhao Yuezhu stopped, I had already seen a stone gate covered in reliefs.
The overall pattern on the stone gate was a sky, but the clouds floating in the air had a bizarre and bewildering feeling. At first glance, it looked like some kind of light shining through the clouds, forming various phantoms in the sky.
A closer look, however, made one feel that behind the clouds seemed to be hidden some unknown existence, which made the sky and clouds extremely strange, foreshadowing a disaster that could destroy everything was about to come.
Tian Yao (Celestial Demon)?
The definition of "Tian Yao" is: disaster phenomena shown by the heavens.
In the eyes of warlocks, "Tian Yao" are great demons that can stir up wind and waves, roll up celestial fire, spread plagues, and bring disasters.
Therefore, Tian Yao does not specifically refer to a certain demon clan, but represents the advent of natural disasters.
When warlocks encounter Tian Yao, they would rather die in battle than let the evil creatures run rampant!
How could there be vitality in the Tomb of the Tian Yao, which represents destruction?
The Nine-Tailed Fox said in a deep voice, "We're here. That descendant of the Fox Clan back then broke through this gate and discovered the source of vitality."
I looked in the direction pointed by the Nine-Tailed Fox. There was indeed a gap in the lower left corner of the stone gate, not even as big as a washbasin.
Although the gap was small, it was enough for a fox to enter and exit.
I looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox and said, "Since that fox has entered the tomb, it should know what's buried in the demon tomb, right?"
"I don't know!" The Nine-Tailed Fox said directly, "In front of the Tian Yao, that little fox is insignificant, whether in terms of cultivation or bloodline. Even if it's just the corpse of the Tian Yao inside, she wouldn't dare to approach."
"Wasn't the black wolf who saved you just now only dared to guard the door, not daring to approach the demon tomb rashly?"
Although I was suspicious of the Nine-Tailed Fox, I had to admit that her words were highly credible.
Those who can become Tian Yao are either ancient great demons or alien demon clans with heaven-reaching cultivation. Those demons that can only cause disasters in one place are far from being called Tian Yao.
Simply put, a dragon can cause floods in a certain area, but it doesn't dare to call itself "Tian Yao."
The disasters brought by the Tian Yao must at least be able to sweep through the land of a prince.
Therefore, Tian Yao must have the ability to withstand heavenly punishment before daring to wreak havoc and destroy living beings.
It's reasonable for that fox to not dare to approach the tomb.
The Nine-Tailed Fox said, "According to the memory of that little fox, there is no coffin of the Tian Yao behind this gate. But the vitality leaked out from a well behind the stone gate."
"She tried many methods, but couldn't get within ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) of that well. Therefore, she doesn't know what's in the well."
"If you want to explore the Tian Yao tomb, you have to find a way to open that gate."
I looked at the gate again, but heard Zhao Yuezhu say, "Li Po, I want to use the body of that black wolf just now to unlock the lock, you won't stop me, will you?"
I couldn't help being slightly stunned, but Ye Yang suddenly asked, "Nine Tails, how thick is this stone gate?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox said, "According to the little fox's memory, it's not a door at all. Rather, it's a layer of rock carved with the shape of a door? Because, in her impression, this stone gate is almost three meters thick."
Three meters?
Is that still a door?
Ye Yang looked at Zhao Yuezhu and said, "You want to lure the demon soul?"
Zhao Yuezhu said lightly, "I just want to unlock the lock!"
The Nine-Tailed Fox was also taken aback, "Are you crazy? Do you know what will happen if you lure the demon soul out?"
Zhao Yuezhu retorted, "Aren't you planning to reshape your body?"
The Nine-Tailed Fox was also unsure how to answer, and could only say, "Li Po, what she said about unlocking the lock is to lure out the demon soul in the tomb. Ask Ye Yang for the details."
Ye Yang pointed to the clouds on the stone carving and said, "This cloud layer can actually move, which is equivalent to the outer extension of a hidden lock. As long as you piece together the mechanism correctly, a gap will appear on the door. That's equivalent to the keyhole of the door."
"Zhao Yuezhu puts the wolf demon's body in, and then uses secret techniques to attract the demon soul in the tomb to enter the wolf demon's body. The corpse acting as the key can then operate on its own."
"But, this is also equivalent to releasing the Tian Yao without moving the demon tomb."
"Because no one can say for sure whether the soul of the Tian Yao, once it finds a suitable corpse, will immediately escape, or continue to turn back to find its own body."
I understood what Ye Yang meant, but I only said one sentence, "Maybe there's something even more troublesome."
