Chapter 876: Chapter 876 Yin Emperor

The Three Cubs let out a hissing sound, then suddenly lunged at Wen Wen.

Those energies not only healed its wounds but also enhanced its power. It originally had no means to threaten a Disaster Level monster apart from its venom.

But now its mere strength equated to that of a Disaster Level giant snake. However, the energies eroded its mind, making it unable to recognize Wen Wen, treating everything in front of it as its enemy.

Its mouth was larger than a human, enough to swallow Wen Wen in one bite. But Wen Wen just let out a cold snort, and chains flew from his hands, tightly binding the Three Cubs.

Then Wen Wen squatted in front of it, looking indifferently at its three eyes. With a slight clench of his hand, those chains tightened completely, constricting its flesh and causing it to wail in unbearable pain.

Don’t dwell on the question of how a snake can wail; the throat of a Three-Eyed Illusion Snake is different from that of regular snake species.

Not only were the chains outside its body writhing, but there were also faintly black chains writhing inside its body, subjecting the Three Cubs to indescribable torment.

Early on, when the Three Cubs recovered its strength enough to be housed in the Sanctuary, Wen Wen captured it. Later, when chains could be implanted, Wen Wen didn’t spare the Three Cubs.

So for the Three Cubs to resist Wen Wen was completely impossible.

Through that soul-penetrating torment, the Three Cubs’ abnormal impulses vanished. It finally realized what it was doing and looked at Wen Wen with grievance, letting out a puppy-like whimper, curling itself into a fist-sized snake ball.

Wen Wen casually stuffed the snake ball into his pocket, then observed this underground space with the light from the Bowl of Forgiveness.

The gap through which the Three Cubs crawled was extremely narrow, only allowing creatures as small as mice to get through, but Wen Wen had countless ways to leave from here.

Yet Wen Wen decided to stay a while longer because he found this place somewhat interesting.

This underground space was obviously man-made, and judging by some remaining traces, it was estimated to have a history of at least several hundred to thousands of years; it should be a relic.

No... it should be a tomb!

On one side of this underground space, there was a massive iron gate embedded in the stone wall. Wen Wen had seen this style in many costume dramas, but this door before him was far more magnificent than those on TV.

Beside the door, there was a three-meter-tall stone tablet, with five characters on it, of which three could barely be made out.

Based on the historical knowledge in his mind, Wen Wen mentally filled in the gaps, knowing what place this was.

Northern Yin Imperial Mausoleum!

"Northern Yin Emperor... Luo Feng?"

In the historical context of the Capital District, the Northern Yin Dynasty was not notable.

During that time, there were as many as twenty-one countries, and the Northern Yin Dynasty existed for only forty years from its establishment to its collapse, like a fleeting flower, with Luo Feng as its only emperor.

Most people in the Capital only know of this country by the words ’Northern Yin’.

The reason Wen Wen could directly say the name Luo Feng is that the history known to superpower users is completely different from that of ordinary people, and what superpower users know is usually the truth of history.

Northern Yin held special significance in that chaotic era because it was after Northern Yin that era ended.

According to the information Wen Wen had seen, after a ’great catastrophe’, Northern Yin was shrouded in cloudy mists for months, causing vegetation to wilt and humans and animals to perish. When the clouds dispersed, countless Ghost Kind emerged en masse, sweeping the Capital.

The small countries throughout the Capital District were annihilated one after another, leaving not even ten percent of humanity alive.

Had it not been for the beast god Qilin of Qi Ling Mountain, sacrificing itself to stop that disaster, in the end, there might have been nothing but the undead left in the world.

Besides the Beast God Qilin, there was another protagonist of that era who survived to this day.

That was the Catastrophe-Level Expert who embodied the world’s ghostly Qi and established the ghost city at Mang Mountain Fengdu... Capital Feng Ghost God!

According to mainstream opinions of the Association, when the Capital Feng Ghost God was alive, he was Northern Yin Emperor Luo Feng!

But what was with the tomb before him? It had nothing to do with Mang Mountain, nor was it the site of the original Northern Yin Dynasty. How could Luo Feng’s tomb be here?

Furthermore, if Luo Feng’s remains were truly here, that would mean the Capital Feng Ghost God wasn’t something formed after Luo Feng’s death, and the investigation into the identity of the Capital Feng Ghost God might need to start over.

Wen Wen walked up to the massive door and placed his hand on the heavy iron gate, beginning to sense carefully.

This tomb hadn’t like other ancient tombs with various traps or mysterious toxins because they weren’t needed.

The energy alone leaking out could cause mice citywide to mutate, producing monsters akin to that mouse. The dangers inside were far beyond that of mere traps and toxins.

This tomb’s only feature was its robustness and durability; the door before him wasn’t really a door and couldn’t be opened — it was intentionally shaped as two solid iron blocks resembling a door...

Judging by its structure, it didn’t seem intended to keep people out but rather to keep something inside from getting out...

As his senses passed through the iron gate, reaching the tomb’s interior, Wen Wen’s spirit was suddenly impacted. The energy inside the gate was exactly like the one from that mouse!

Perhaps the energy on that mouse was just a tiny portion that leaked out through these cracks. If a less powerful superpower user tried to sense it, they would immediately go insane.

Before he could probe further, Wen Wen withdrew his senses. Both the iron gate and the inside tomb walls were coated with special materials preventing intangible beings from passing through, while Wen Wen’s spatial transfer ability required either seeing inside or having already entered.

If Wen Wen really wanted to force his way in, this iron gate would certainly not stop him, but doing so would damage the tomb, causing the exotic energies within to leak out.

Heaven knows how many deaths the massive anomalous energy inside could cause; Wen Wen even suspected it was the legacy of the great catastrophe.

So after a bit of hesitation, Wen Wen stopped his exploration, deciding to inform the Hunter Association of this place’s existence, then securely lock down and contain it.

So Wen Wen prepared to leave here, naturally not wishing to crawl through a filthy tunnel and up a sewer.

Therefore, he chose to find the location where Tao Qingqing was via the Sanctuary and transfer directly there.

But when he began to operate this way, his expression turned strange; in his perception, Tao Qingqing’s presence seemed blurred, much like when You Han was trapped in Mirror Space.

He could enter via the Sanctuary, but entry would have a delay.

Wen Wen patted the Three Cubs in his pocket, twitching the corner of his mouth: "You two are certainly restless; I’ve just been gone a short time, and you’ve both found me some trouble."
