Zhang Tian understood. The E Stone had not been split into two halves.
Instead, it had been divided into three.
Two halves were given to the Jingshen and the Sea Monster. These two were inherently in conflict. This way, the E Stone would not fall into the hands of either.
On the contrary, they would even develop resentment towards each other over the E Stone, leading to more intense conflict.
What they did not know was that Wang Canghai held the largest piece of the E Stone.
In other words, he had been controlling these two creatures all along.
"Old Hu, let's retreat. Qilin, prepare to withdraw."
"Once I lift the curse, we won't have to deal with the situation here anymore."
Zhang Tian spoke and prepared to flee.
Who knew what would happen after the curse was lifted? So, Zhang Tian was ready to bolt at any moment.
"Boss, how do we lift this thing?"
Fatty asked with some doubt.
"Just like this."
As Zhang Tian spoke, the E Stone was dragged by his true qi, floating in mid-air.
Then, the three stone fragments merged together.
The two beings who were fighting instantly calmed down. The Jingshen and the Sea Demon both looked towards Zhang Tian.
"He has a piece of the E Stone too!"
Seeing Zhang Tian produce an E Stone larger than theirs, the Jingshen was somewhat shocked.
Even the Sea Demon was perplexed.
The next moment, the E Stones reunited.
A strange purple light emanated from it, and a mysterious power rose around them.
"Ah..."
From above, the mournful screams of vengeful spirits could be heard. The Jingshen and the Sea Demon both collapsed to the ground.
The next moment, everything around them turned to ash.
"Holy crap, Boss! Little Fox took the pill and was amazing, and it's over just like that?"
Fatty looked at the quiet surroundings, stunned.
"The curse has been lifted, and they've gone to reincarnation directly. The Sea Demon was also under a curse; they should have died long ago."
Zhang Tian said. The reason they hadn't reincarnated was probably that this thing was keeping them tethered, preventing them from leaving.
Now that the curse was gone, the irresistible force of reincarnation had pulled them away.
"Alright, Fatty, keep talking, and I'm warning you, the little fox might bite you."
Zhang Tian glanced at the little fox on the ground, its eyes wide as copper bells, and spoke with a smile.
Fatty blinked.
"Heh heh, you won't bite Fatty, right? We're golden partners."
Fatty chuckled.
"You're too smelly. Tuan Tuan doesn't eat stinky tofu."
Tuan Tuan said, and Fatty's face turned black.
"Okay, it's time to go."
Zhang Tian interrupted them and prepared to leave. They would leave the formation here; it hadn't been of much use anyway.
After the Jingshen died, the Princess's soul emerged and madly absorbed the surrounding Yin energy.
The group walked towards the original tomb.
Zhang Tian wanted to take a look at the model of the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace.
As well as the bronze tree, Wang Canghai's遗物 (yíwù - relics/belongings), and so on.
At this moment, in the judgment room.
Upon seeing Zhang Tian battle the Sea Monster, many people's hearts were filled with anxiety.
[Holy crap, is that a biological creature? Even if you brought out all the animals in the world, there wouldn't be something like this.]
[This is outrageous. This must be the ancestor of all sea monsters. Fortunately, Fatty ran fast, or he would have lost his life long ago.]
[That little fox is so cute! Why isn't there a little fox on the judgment table?]
[Is there a possibility that the little fox evolved?]
[A talking animal, and you think it's cute?]
[I know parrots can talk, but this fox can talk too?]
[And drawing talismans in mid-air, setting up formations, a drought demon—do these things actually exist?]
[It's over, my worldview has collapsed. Spiritual energy has returned, my friends.]
In an instant, countless bizarre events left the viewers in a state of disarray.
Especially the giant sea monster, the red-clothed vengeful spirit, the white-haired drought demon, the Qilin town, the lightning talisman, and even the talking white fox.
Which of these did not shatter their perception of reality?
Originally, a harmonious society had collapsed.
Both atheists and theists were silent.
Chen Xi no longer knew what to say.
She could explain the Sea Demon.
Perhaps it was a mutated creature affected by some country's nuclear wastewater.
But a red-clothed female ghost, a talking fox—how could she explain that? 138 Reading Network
At this moment, the defenses in her heart were already in disarray.
"In this situation, could my grandfather and the others have survived if they had gone?"
Chen Xi began to reflect.
After all, in such a scenario, it would be normal for her grandfather to die inside.
Not to mention that they died in the Jingjue Ancient City.
Here, at least Zhang Tian and the others had resolved ninety percent of the danger for the expert team.
Chen Xi looked at Zhang Tian.
"Where is the little fox from your memory?"
Chen Xi asked.
A smile played on Zhang Tian's lips.
"Tuan Tuan? She's playing chess at home. What, do you want to take her back for research?"
Zhang Tian winked.
Chen Xi smiled and waved her hand.
"Mr. Zhang is joking. How would I dare?"
Chen Xi quickly replied. She was not foolish. Zhang Tian was already so powerful at the beginning, let alone Zhang Tian from a hundred years later.
His strength was unimaginable.
Naturally, she did not dare to offend him again.
Zhang Tian said no more, stretched, and continued to play the footage.
In the footage.
The group had already entered the seabed and exited the suspended tomb.
After absorbing the Yin energy, the Princess contentedly burrowed into Fatty's jade pendant.
Returning to the previous tomb passage, Hu Bayi led the way with a compass.
"Boss, let's go through here directly. I think the expert team should be behind us."
Hu Bayi stood in front of a wall, holding his compass.
Zhang Tian nodded slightly, and then Fatty punched the wall, creating an indentation.
With a few more blows from Fatty, the wall collapsed, creating a hole.
The group returned to the previous tomb passage.
Not far ahead, there was a large space.
The bronze tree should be over there, Zhang Tian thought, looking down at his feet.
"Hey, why are you still following us? You're out now; you can go on your own journey."
Zhang Tian looked at the little fox.
"Mom said that when you meet a strong person, you should follow him and stick to him!"
The little fox directly invoked her mother.
Zhang Tian took a breath.
"Then didn't your mother tell you to be careful of bad guys?"
Zhang Tian said, and then continued.
"Our promise has been fulfilled. You can leave now."
After speaking, the little fox pouted.
"The road is wide, and we can go our separate ways. You don't control me. Tuan Tuan can go wherever she wants."
"Besides, he doesn't seem like a bad guy!"
The little fox added, her eyes occasionally glancing at Zhang Qilin and Zhang Tian with a somewhat proud demeanor.
Zhang Tian ignored this little pest. She was useless at everything except taking pills.
"I sense someone behind us talking."
Zhang Qilin's small ears twitched.
"It should be the expert team resting. Don't mind them; let's go first."
Zhang Tian said. In fact, he tried to avoid the expert team as much as possible.
Because being with them was troublesome.
If someone died, and it was blamed on him, it would be a problem.
Zhang Qilin nodded and said no more. The group walked deeper into the tomb passage.
At this moment, with Professor Chen.
Professor Chen looked at the sleeping Wu Tianzhen.
"Little Wang, what's wrong with Brother Wu? He can fall asleep even in the tomb?"
Professor Chen asked.
Because of Wu Tianzhen, they had already lost a lot of time.
Moreover, everyone clearly felt that the oxygen in the tomb was also becoming scarce.
"I don't know. Tianzhen isn't usually like this. Maybe he's too tired. Sigh, Tianzhen has been weak since childhood. Don't worry, everyone."
Fatty said. In truth, he didn't know what Wu Tianzhen was really doing.
"How about this, Professor Chen, we'll go first. Brother Wang, you guys can rest here for a while."
Shirley Yang said. Wang Banyue wanted to say something, but Pan Zi stopped her.
"Alright, alright."
Fatty said helplessly. He had wanted to see more of the beautiful Ms. Xue.
It seemed there was no opportunity.
After saying this, Professor Chen and the others got up and walked towards the front of the tomb passage.
