Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 222 - Resurrection of the Dead

Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Resurrection of the Dead?

Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Resurrection of the Dead?

A coffin?

In fact, unearthing a coffin from the ground is nothing out of the ordinary; where else would a coffin be placed if not buried in the earth?

Yet, everyone was immensely disappointed.

What they were expecting was treasure.

What the hell is a coffin?

“Dig it up!” a Self-Observation powerhouse from the Lu Family commanded. Since they had already dug this far, they were certainly going to dig out the coffin.

Perhaps… the burial goods might contain some astonishingly valuable treasures, no?

The others followed orders and resumed digging.

Shi Hao counted, and it seemed that all the Self-Observation powerhouses from the Lu Family had arrived, a full count of four.

It seems they must have found something valuable in the cave to have so many Self-Observation powerhouses flock here like this. With a four-to-one advantage, Luohan Cheng definitely wouldn’t dare harbor any thoughts.

“Heh heh, these guys are in for some bad luck,” Su Manman whispered softly.

The girl was speaking right into Shi Hao’s ear, her voice melancholic as it wafted over his neck, tickling him slightly.

Shi Hao turned his head and asked, “Why do you say that?”

As he turned, their faces ended up mere inches apart, especially their noses, which were almost touching.

Su Manman’s face instantly turned red, and she hastily stepped back, somewhat annoyed and angry, “You boor, why did you suddenly turn around, trying to scare me to death?”

That face was too attractive, it made her almost want to kiss it, which was really infuriating!

Shi Hao was bewildered; wasn’t she the one who leaned in first?

But fortunately, he had learned not to argue with women and merely smiled.

Su Manman pouted, her heart stirred like the tide.

It was over, it seemed she was falling for this guy! It was all his fault for being so handsome and for being so nice to her, offering the Peerless Divine Lotus in exchange for her, an “unremarkable” girl, how could she not be moved.

But how could there be someone so good-looking?

Even in her own place, where natural beauty was commonplace, there was no young talent that could compare with Shi Hao.

No, no, she was Princess Manman, how could she fall for someone so easily?

With this little interlude, Shi Hao did not pursue the question of why Su Manman thought there would be “bad luck.”

Very quickly, the people from the Lu Family had completely unearthed the coffin.

“Open the coffin!” Lu Feng commanded with a wave of his hand.

Those who practice cultivation defy the heavens and are free from taboos.

Without the need for tools, the group grabbed the edges of the coffin and exerted force. With a loud bang, the lid of the coffin was instantly flung open.

Were there any burial treasures?

Everyone leaned in to look.

But their disappointment was immediate, for in the coffin lay only a green-robed man, who looked to be in his twenties, far from the age at which one’s lifespan would be exhausted. Strangely enough, despite being buried for who knows how many years, there was not a single sign of decay on him, as if he were merely in a deep sleep.

The Lu Family felt the greatest disappointment. They had spent so many days and held so much anticipation, only to end up unearthing what appeared to be an Undead body?

“Hmph, reduce this corpse to pieces for me!” coldly stated a Self-Observation expert from the Lu Family. Since there was no gain, he directed his disappointment and anger onto this body.

Shi Hao frowned, disturbed by the behavior. These people had disturbed the eternal rest of the deceased and were now intending to mutilate the corpse to vent their frustration, which was truly excessive.

But which member of the Lu Family would dare go against the words of their ancestor?

Suddenly, a few men with swords and knives thrust them towards the coffin.

“Ancestor, Ancestor!” However, these individuals immediately cried out in alarm.

Huh?

The body of this corpse was incredibly strong; despite the stabbing of swords and knives, not even his robe could be penetrated.

“Treasure Robe!” Lu Feng’s eyes immediately lit up.

“Take it off!”

Those fellows brandishing knives and swords to stab people immediately went to strip the corpse of its clothes, but just then, something horrifying happened.

The corpse…suddenly opened its eyes!

Oh, my goodness!

Instantly, those men fell on their backsides on the ground, terrified to the point of nearly losing control of their bladders.

Who wouldn’t shiver with fear upon seeing a corpse suddenly open its eyes?

Whoosh, amidst the chilling fear of those present, the “corpse” abruptly sat up and swept its gaze around, and even the mighty Self-Observation experts felt a chill in their hearts when met with his gaze.

This was too bizarre.

To say this was a living person?

Impossible!

The earth was so solid, and it had taken them more than ten days to dig it up; if someone was buried alive here, no matter how well they could hold their breath, they would have definitely been dead after a few days.

So, this must be a ghost!

Just thinking about that word made everyone’s hearts grow cold, and they broke out into a cold sweat.

“Hundreds of years have passed, and my wound has finally healed,” the corpse spoke, its voice strong and clear, devoid of any ghostliness.

Listening to his mutterings, everyone was taken aback.

This wasn’t a ghost?

Otherwise, can ghosts still get injured?

But if this was a human, how could he have been enclosed in a coffin for hundreds of years?

My God, setting aside how long a living person could survive in such a state, even a mighty Self-Observation expert could only live for a little over two hundred years.

What kind of ancient monster was this?

“Who are you!” Lu Feng called out sternly, having calmed himself down. This “corpse” must be a living person who used some special method to spend hundreds of years in the coffin.

The man in the green robe smiled faintly, “My name is Mo Yunxiao. Since you have made it here, it means that Nine Lotus Cave has already opened.”

What Nine Lotus Cave?

Everyone was clueless, but Shi Hao’s mind stirred.

In the previous nine caves, at the depth of each there was a Divine Lotus. Calling it the Nine Lotus Cave wouldn’t be very fitting, would it?

“Hehe, it would be lost on you even if I explained,” Mo Yunxiao said lightly, “But this is a tremendous opportunity. I’ve sealed myself for hundreds of years, partly to heal and partly to wait for this day.”

At this, everyone finally understood a bit more.

This man must be an “ancient” from hundreds of years ago who had been injured and had to bury himself to heal; on the other hand, he was also waiting for the opening of some Nine Lotus Cave, which explained why he had been asleep for centuries.

As for how he could traverse such a long period of time without dying, or even aging, that was a mystery.

However, the people of the Lu Family all brightened up.

The methods this man in green robe possessed were astonishing, and if they could acquire them, it would undoubtedly benefit the Lu Family.

Unable to subdue him?

What a joke. Even if someone’s realm was high, the aging process would slow down, but this man in the green robe only appeared to be in his twenties. How powerful could he be?

This time, the Lu Family had come out in full force, with all four Self-Observation experts present. Could they not subdue one man?

“Young man, come to my Lu Family for a visit,” Lu Feng invited.

Mo Yunxiao glanced at him and said, “Old fellow, did you not hear what this young master said? I want to seize the opportunity of the Nine Lotus Cave.”

“Young man, don’t be too arrogant!” Another Self-Observation expert from the Lu Family spoke up, his words carrying an unmistakable threat.

Mo Yunxiao laughed heartily, and his body suddenly moved with extreme speed.

Splat, a spray of fresh blood shot up into the sky, and the head of that Self-Observation expert from the Lu Family was gruesomely severed!
