All nine empresses betrayed me, why am I crying after being reborn as a saint?

Nie Ronger felt that if Chen Yuan discovered a treasure like the Black Ice Stone, which could increase his spiritual power dramatically as long as he meditated.

Maybe Chen Yuan will take the black ice stone for himself.

If that were the case, I wouldn't be able to make rapid progress in my practice.

Therefore, after thinking it over, she decided that she absolutely could not be merciful and let them enter the ancient tomb at will.

"Then if you don't give way, don't blame me for being rude."

The fat Taoist's face darkened, and he hit Nie Ronger hard with the double-spirit bronze hammer in his hand.

Nie Ronger dodged sideways and kicked the fat Taoist priest.

However, although the fat Taoist priest looked fat, he dodged it with a light jump.

The two sides fought back and forth for a few moves, but it was difficult to determine the winner.

When the thin Taoist saw this, he immediately joined the fight.

What was originally a fight between two evenly matched opponents immediately turned into a one-sided abuse on Nie Ronger's part.

Nie Ronger was caught off guard and hit in the waist by the fat Taoist's hammer.

She fell to the ground in an instant. She looked a little embarrassed and asked Chen Yuan, who was standing silently beside her, the question she had always wanted to ask.

"Chen Yuan, are you bringing these two people here just to take my life?"

Chen Yuan said calmly, "No. As long as you, Nie Rong'er, give way, we will never take your life. Our purpose is just to rob the tomb. You think too highly of yourself."

"you……"

Nie Ronger was very angry after hearing what Chen Yuan said.

After all, they had been in love with each other before.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan was so cold-blooded and heartless, not caring about past feelings at all, and actually said that he thought too highly of himself.

"Since you are not here to take my life, do you have to go in today?"

"Yes, Nie Rong'er, I advise you to be more sensible. If you don't, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"In that case, you guys go ahead."

Nie Ronger silently climbed up from the ground, touched the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his face tightened.

She thought to herself, as expected, Chen Yuan came to seize the treasures in the ancient tomb in order to disrupt her cultivation speed to become a female saint.

She felt that she had suffered some internal injuries, but if she was asked to give up the black ice stone in the ancient tomb, she would never be willing to do so.

"Heh, Nie Rong'er, you are still the same. For the sake of cultivation, for some material possessions, or some cultivation treasures, you take your own life and the lives of others so lightly."

Seeing Nie Ronger's fearless look of ready to die, Chen Yuan couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

After all, in his previous life, he knew that Nie Ronger was devoted to seeking the truth, and was willing to break up with him because some treasures for cultivation had become extinct.

Sometimes, Nie Ronger felt unhappy when she saw that her cultivation was higher than hers, and she vaguely blamed herself for not teaching her more profound and mysterious secrets.

The fat and thin Taoists captured Nie Ronger, and they used the spiritual binding rope to tie Nie Ronger up tightly.

"Let me go, let me go."

Nie Ronger was a little depressed.

I have practiced hard until now, but I can't even beat a fat man and a thin man.

She originally wanted to use her brute strength to break free from the soul-binding ropes that bound her.

But unfortunately, the overall strength of the fat and thin Taoist priests was above his own.

It turned out that my cultivation speed was not fast enough, which is why I was caught in such a miserable state by Chen Yuan’s men today.

"Hahaha, little Taoist, there are always mountains higher than another. Since you spoke so arrogantly to the two of us before, now you know that you were wrong, right?" The fat Taoist said with a smile.

The thin Taoist priest who was pulling hard at one end of the soul-binding rope also hurriedly spoke to Nie Ronger.

"Yes, and this ancient mausoleum is not yours. You insisted on blocking my way and not letting me in. It's time to punish you."

"Right, Chen Yuan?"

As the thin Taoist priest was speaking, he also asked Chen Yuan.

After all, this was also a tentative question to Chen Yuan, asking if he had any objection to kidnapping Nie Ronger?

"Fat Hall Master, Thin Hall Master, Nie Rong'er has indeed gone too far in this matter. There must be a lot of mysteries under this ancient mausoleum. You should all follow me and go down to take a look."

Chen Yuan said with a nonchalant smile, not even looking at Nie Ronger who was tied up beside him.

Holding torches, the group continued forward along the deep tunnel of the ancient tomb.

Soon, they came to a spacious but very dark hall.

A huge human-shaped stone statue is placed in the center of the hall, and there are some strange runes and formations around it.

There are a total of nine secret rooms behind this ancient tomb.

The road ahead was blocked and there were only nine secret rooms.

The fat Taoist priest stepped forward and tentatively pushed and pulled the doors of the secret rooms a few times. It was obvious that something like a key was missing from them, so they could not be opened at all.

The three searched for a long time but found nothing.

Seeing this, the thin Taoist priest quickly asked the bound Nie Rong'er, "Female Taoist priest, what is the secret of the ancient mausoleum? How do we open these secret rooms? What are inside?"

"Hmph, but I don't really know what it is. You can explore it on your own."

Nie Ronger's hands and feet were tied, and he uttered these words out of the blue.

She would never tell these people how to open the secret room in the ancient mausoleum. She hoped that these guys would make the best use of the opportunity.

"You are such an ungrateful female Taoist priest. Don't forget that your life is still in our hands."

The thin Taoist had a stern look on his face, and his expression was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He looked at Nie Ronger with some anger.

"Master Shou, don't be angry. Look at this human-shaped stone statue. It seems to have some mystery."

Chen Yuan looked at it carefully for a long time, then slowly approached the human-shaped stone statue, his eyes fell on the statue, and he began to observe it carefully.

This human-shaped stone statue depicts an old man meditating silently.

The stone statue looks peaceful and lifelike.

At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly emitted from the eyes of the stone statue, shooting straight towards Chen Yuan's eyebrows like a laser beam.

"Be careful--"

The thin hall master shouted loudly subconsciously, his voice full of worry and tension.

However, Chen Yuan's reaction was extremely quick. He nimbly dodged to the side and avoided the attack of the light.

The light passed across his cheek, bringing a burning sensation.

"It turns out that this human-shaped stone statue can actually attack people by surprise."

Seeing this, Chen Yuan said subconsciously.

However, Chen Yuan soon discovered that after the bright light shot out from the human-shaped stone statue, there seemed to be something hidden in the eyes.

Chen Yuan walked forward cautiously and immediately touched something that looked like a key.

"What is this? This is the golden key."

The fat Taoist priest at the side said as he picked up the torch and looked over carefully.

The thin Taoist priest also started picking up torches and lit up all the lamps hanging on the walls around him.

"This must be the golden key that can open the secret room. It's really great."

The fat Taoist priest said happily.
