Leaving the back mountain of Dragon Tiger Daoist Temple, led by Qin Feng, the three headed to so rarely visited places.
Ye Qiu ntioned whether there were sealed beings in places hard to reach for ordinary people, like the Bermuda Triangle and Mount Everest. Qin Feng couldn’t be sure but didn’t rule out this possibility either.
After spending about a morning, the three of them traveled from the northeast to the southwest of China.
In a hill full of Danxia landforms, Qin Feng pointed to a location with a special terrain and said, "As far as I know, many disciples of great sects gathered here back in the day. If possible, they might have chosen this as a place to seal."
Ye Qiu examined the landscape before him, finding it quite scenic, yet finding the sealed beings wasn’t an easy task.
Even if spiritual power was present here, it wouldn’t be of much help since sealed beings would seal all their auras, making it impossible to detect through spiritual power.
Therefore, the three could only use the most straightforward thod, slowly exploring around. After spending an entire day, they found nothing, which left Qin Feng quite embarrassed.
It seems that looking for sealed beings is not a simple task. Those people, when they sealed themselves, naturally wouldn’t easily expose themselves since they couldn’t easily wake up once sealed. Encountering danger would likely result in their death, so sealed beings usually chose very secretive locations for sealing.
Despite saying so, not finding any sealed being left Ye Qiu feeling sowhat irritated.
"Besides this thod, is there any better way to discover the location of sealed beings?" Ye Qiu asked. Searching blindly like this, covering thousands of miles, is not an easy way to find a sealed being.
"A thod?" Qin Feng pondered for a while.
"There’s no specific thod, but I know those great sects have a penchant for areas rich in spiritual energy. Perhaps they sealed themselves, and this aspect might be worth considering." Qin Feng said.
Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up, and with just a hint of a clue, he could trace it.
Next, they only need to locate so areas rich in spiritual energy to potentially find sealed beings.
Thus, the three dispersed, eventually converging from three directions onto a red-soiled hill.
"Within a thousand miles, this place has the densest spiritual energy. We can continue searching here."
The three of them searched back and forth, and although the spiritual energy here was truly dense, they didn’t find any hidden locations for sealed beings.
"Could the sealed being be beneath us?" Jin Shanshun suggested.
Hearing this, Ye Qiu recalled the scene when he discovered the Sect Leader of the Raksha Gate. The Sect Leader was within a jade stone, unearthed from within a mountain, making Jin Shanshun’s suggestion very plausible.
"Let’s give it a try."
Ye Qiu activated his x-ray vision. He hadn’t used it for a long ti and felt a bit rusty, but using it now to find a hidden sealed being was ideal.
Qin Feng saw Ye Qiu’s eyes emitting a special light that was daunting to look at directly.
Wherever Ye Qiu’s gaze passed, even ants laying eggs could be seen clearly. Scanning through nurous sand, stones, and soil constantly.
Finally, when Ye Qiu’s eyes began to strain, he indeed found traces of a sealed being.
Jin Shanshun smashed the mountain top with a punch, and Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun jumped inside, finding it like a tomb chamber.
A man in gray clothing lay within a stone coffin.
He looked just like a living person, no difference, except his clothing was slightly more ancient-looking.
"Do you recognize this man?" Ye Qiu asked.
Qin Feng shook his head, "No, I don’t."
Ye Qiu’s plan was to kill any sealed beings he found. It was easier while they were still asleep.
His hand moved, King Yan’s Fury surged, targeting the stone coffin as Ye Qiu prepared to unleash his attack.
At that mont, the person lying there suddenly sat up and looked at the three, resembling a jumping corpse.
"Hey..."
"Stop, stop, stop..."
"What are you trying to do? I’m trying to get so sleep, but can’t sleep in peace." As soon as he spoke, Ye Qiu paused, sensing he seed like a modern person, not a sealed being.
"Why did you break into my ho and even break my door? Guys, this is quite inconsiderate." The man spoke with expressive gestures, lacking seriousness.
Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng exchanged bewildered glances, not understanding the situation. This person seed sowhat eccentric.
"This is your ho?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Of course, haven’t you heard of a living dead tomb? What’s so strange about sleeping in a coffin?" The man said casually.
Living dead tomb?
Ye Qiu felt a bit familiar, as if he had heard the term from Yinyin, who loved watching various TV shows.
"Why did you invade my territory?" The man asked, with slight hostility towards Ye Qiu and the others.
This was a little embarrassing, realizing this person wasn’t any sealed being but soone with a peculiar habit, preferring to live in an underground coffin.
"Seems like we’ve made a mistake." Ye Qiu laughed, preparing to leave.
Just as the trio turned around and walked a few steps, Ye Qiu suddenly turned back and looked at the man, "Do you know what day of the week it is today?"
"What day? Haha... um..."
The man hesitated, eyes darting around.
"You’re not a regular person, and this isn’t your ho. You’re an awakened sealed being, am I right?" Ye Qiu fixed his gaze on the man.
Upon hearing this, the man imdiately kicked back, looking ready to flee.
Ye Qiu’s figure flashed, blocking his path. It’s better to kill sealed beings.
Anyway, these people would sooner or later beco his opponents, killing one earlier would reduce future enemies.
Just as Ye Qiu was about to unleash a killing blow, the man suddenly knelt, crying, "Master, please pause, you’ve mistaken . I’m... I’m not the owner of this stone coffin. I’m fake. Please, spare ."
This sudden gesture left Ye Qiu perplexed. He had anticipated the opponent resisting, dodging, or fleeing but never expected him to kneel and plead. This was too cowardly.
Ye Qiu didn’t unleash King Yan’s Fury on this person, as what he said surprised Ye Qiu.
The man quickly explained why he was there, rapidly finishing, then pleaded for his life, claiming it was by chance he ended up there.
After hearing the man’s story, Ye Qiu was amused and annoyed.
Turns out this man was a tomb robber. After finding this place, thinking it was a great tomb, he dug a tunnel by himself and got in.
Then, he found a person lying in the stone coffin, resembling a living person, scaring him. He took a knife and stabbed the person, just like that, an unborn sealed being died at the hands of a tomb robber. Then this robber removed the sealed being from the coffin, occupied it himself, and used it as a bed, lying there until today.
"So, you’re a tomb robber from ancient tis?" Ye Qiu asked.
The man nodded vigorously, "Master, I swear, everything I said is true, or let be struck by lightning."
"Alright, I’ll believe you for now. As long as you agree to one condition, I won’t kill you." Ye Qiu said.
"Master, please speak. As long as it doesn’t take my life, I’ll agree." The man chuckled.
"Rest assured, my request is simple and won’t be difficult for you. It can utilize your skills well." Ye Qiu smiled, continuing, "I want you to help find all similar places within China."
"You don’t want to raid tombs, but find living dead?" The man was taken aback.
Ye Qiu nodded, and the term "living dead" indeed described sealed beings aptly.
"That’s right, can you do it?"
