Chapter 757: Chapter 755: The Curse of Shattering (Part Fourteen) (Extra for Alliance Leader “Wanguo Taiyue” 1/2)_1 Chapter 757: Chapter 755: The Curse of Shattering (Part Fourteen) (Extra for Alliance Leader “Wanguo Taiyue” 1/2)_1 In the underground chamber, the sudden change sent a wave of tension rippling through the air.

Following Jian Jingzheng’s reminder, both the Academy Instructors and the Kamakura Family had now come to their senses.

What had happened to the two Dobermans was essentially the same as what Kamakura Shinji and the others experienced.

The self-inflicted cuts, even directly shredding the body, were indeed the Cursed Swordsmanship of the Kamakura Family.

The problem was that the Kamakura Family was quick on its feet, and nearly everyone was here.

Under recent orders, all had stood still obediently.

“And it seems there are no other rooms beyond this one.”

At this moment, facing Ni Huayuan’s suggestion, Kamakura Si was visibly perplexed.

“Give it a try, after all, you don’t come in here often, do you?”

During the conversation, Ni Huayuan turned and gestured slightly to those behind him.

Give it a try? There were no visible passageways leading further back.

And the layout below was complex; even if one tried to navigate around from another route, whether or not they could succeed was one thing, but it would certainly take a long time–
The next moment, seeing someone from the Academy step forward and stand where the fierce hounds had run back, Kamakura Si understood Ni Huayuan’s intent.

Boom!

With a dull sound, a wall built of huge stones was smashed inward.

These guys really are rash, not afraid it’ll collapse.

Fu Qian watched from the side, feeling impressed.

But this kind of construction within a mountain, a small tremor like this wouldn’t normally have much impact.

Focused on actions rather than intentions, Ni Huayuan led the Academy’s people so proactively, and he was happy to watch things unfold.

Jian Jingzheng, by this time, had even drawn his sword and thrust it into the crack that had opened up.

…

“So, what is the name of the Divine Being that this statue represents?”

Watching the relic that held so much meaning to his family efficiently destroyed, Kamakura Si was momentarily expressionless.

Regardless, life was of the utmost importance.

Just then, the mysterious Sword Path Demigod suddenly came closer and asked.

“I don’t know.”

While Kamakura Si did not understand why Fu Qian would ask such a question, he quickly shook his head in response.

“You don’t know?”

Fu Qian looked sharply at him.

“You don’t know after guarding it for hundreds of years?”

“Indeed, I do not know.”

Feeling enormous pressure under the questioning gaze of a Demigod, Kamakura quickly explained.

“It may seem strange, but it is the truth.”

“According to the legend passed down in the family, the Kamakura Family didn’t originally live here. An ancestor was inspired in a dream, which drove him to search for a certain place.”

“After searching everywhere, he finally saw the scene from his dream here and settled down, becoming the Tomb Guardian for generations.”

“That’s an inspirational story.”

Fu Qian’s face showed he understood.

“And as the Tomb Guardian, you indeed received certain benefits.”

The mere ancestral teachings seemed unlikely to hold much binding power, and the Kamakura Family had guarded the tomb for hundreds of years; it was impossible without some positive feedback.

The Dragon King himself needs efforts for prosperity and favorable climate.

“Yes, afterward, the Kamakura Family did indeed receive gifts, with at least one person in each generation manifesting a divine seal.”

Kamakura Si hesitated briefly but still acknowledged Fu Qian’s deduction.

And as they conversed, a gasp was heard.

After persistent efforts, a hole had now been cut out in the stone wall behind the statue.

Through the hole, they could see nothing but pitch-black darkness.

Is there really a hidden world behind it?

For a moment, Kamakura Si was dumbfounded.

At this discovery, Jian Jingzheng’s sword energy tore through the air, quickly enlarging the gap and then nodding slightly to Ni Huayuan.

Ni Huayuan didn’t stand on ceremony and leaped through the opening.

Behind the thick wall was a much more spacious stone chamber, rougher in appearance at a glance.

At the far end, a crude door was already open, its destination unknown.

“There seems to be something in the corner.”

Seeing no sign of danger, the group followed inside, and soon someone pointed to a dark corner and spoke.

Not everyone possessed the ability to see in the dark, so Kamakura Si signaled for family members to bring lighting tools over and illuminate that area.

This is…

What appeared before their eyes next truly challenged everyone’s imagination.

The object was a mixture of black and yellow; at first glance, it resembled a mound of melted stone. But upon closer inspection, they could just make out the semblance of limbs, all stretched and distorted, merged into one mass.

And that part which resembled a head was riddled with holes, like a squashed bitter melon.

Whether human or not, this creature was undoubtedly dead.

“What is this…”

Kamakura Si’s face was indescribable.

“Good question, but unfortunately, given its appearance, it’s been dead for quite some time–unable to answer you,” Ni Huayuan snorted.

“What you should be concerned about now is where this door leads.”

“You mean…”

“Correct, if we are lucky. The one who acted earlier may not have left this ruin yet,” Ni Huayuan pointed to the open door opposite them.

“When your two dogs were sliced up earlier, I didn’t sense the presence of any living person over here.”

Seeing Ni Huayuan confidently certain that someone had been here causing trouble and had already fled, Demigod Cass finally spoke coldly.

“When the person who died here was being chopped up, you likewise failed to sense anything then.”

Ni Huayuan glanced at the blood on the ground and defended his point with a sense of righteousness and triumph.

“I understand what Professor Ni means, but it’s still somewhat hard to believe,” Kamakura Si cautiously spoke up, not daring to enter the fray between the two powerhouses.

“When Guizhi was injured earlier, he was neither inside the ruins nor were any special individuals present.”

“How can you say no one was? Somebody has been present all along.”

Ni Huayuan revealed a significant smile.

In an instant, everyone understood and looked towards Fu Qian’s location simultaneously.

Indeed, since the beginning, the Demigod had been present at every scene of the incident.

Importantly, his arrival had also been strange.

“Of course, as I said earlier, for Mr. Yun it is obviously unnecessary to go through such trouble,” Ni Huayuan defended Fu Qian instead of accusing him further.

“I’m just suggesting that some things aren’t as absolute as you think, with points being overlooked all the time.”

“Is it possible that the one hiding here, like your ancestors, received a similar revelation to come search for something in these ruins?”

“And in order to do so, could he have used some special means that caused your family’s current predicament?”

“…Indeed, it’s a definite possibility,” Kamakura Si seemed somewhat convinced by Ni Huayuan’s analysis.

“So you better pray that this path doesn’t lead directly outside, for that means we still might be able to corner our friend inside these ruins,” Ni Huayuan concluded with a smile.
