Chapter 877: Chapter 877 Tomb Guardian

Not knowing the situation on Tao Qingqing’s side, Wen Wen was hesitant to transport directly over.

Therefore, he pinched his nose and used the Poker General’s ability to slip through narrow gaps and sewers.

Throughout the process, he released a transparent shield with the Warehouse Manager’s Badge, so he didn’t get anything unpleasant on him.

Then, guided by the Three Cubs, Wen Wen found the Dabaojian Hotel where Tao Qingqing and the others had been staying.

At that time, the Three Cubs still had chains wrapped around it, as only with these chains could it maintain its sanity. Once it had completely absorbed the energy it inhaled, Wen Wen would release it.

After finding that old Demon Hunter, Wen Wen learned that Tao Qingqing disappeared while investigating the Muyuan Community, and the old Demon Hunter had reported this to the Hunter Association.

However, Wen Wen wasn’t as careless as Tao Qingqing and didn’t blindly go to investigate upon knowing the location. Instead, he directly tied up that old Demon Hunter.

The old Demon Hunter, hanging upside down from the eaves, struggled and said, "Sir... What are you doing? Even if you are a Ranger, you can’t just arrest someone without evidence!"

"None of us are fools, so I’ll be straight with you. You’re hiding something from me, something about that Muyuan Community, so I advise you to tell me honestly."

"I’ve told you everything I know, and I also told her. She’s the one who insisted on taking the risk, it’s not my fault," the old Demon Hunter said, feeling wronged.

Wen Wen snorted coldly, "You’re still being stubborn, then don’t blame me for being ruthless."

He took out the Cat-Ear Cup filled with Devil’s Chili Oil, rubbed some of it on his hand, and smeared it across the man’s face.

The old Demon Hunter was so spiced up that his nose and tears flowed freely, yet he still stubbornly refused to speak.

Then Wen Wen moved behind him, pulling up his pants a bit.

Because the old Demon Hunter was upside down, he immediately felt a chill coming in.

"Seeing as we’re both Demon Hunters, I’ll stop here for a moment, to save you some dignity."

"If you still don’t talk, I’ll continue being ruthless. When you end up with severe hemorrhoids, don’t blame me."

The old Demon Hunter forced a bitter smile, "Mr. Gui Tan, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m just an ordinary Demon Hunter, I..."

"Wang Dayi, you’re seventy-three years old, your granddaughter is twenty-three, and your grandson is seventeen. Your son and daughter have successful careers..."

"I’m not some villain, so I would never threaten your children, nor would I do anything like kidnapping or murder. Do you believe that?"

"I’m just being ruthless, but my mind hasn’t turned cruel yet!"

Although Wang Dayi couldn’t see Wen Wen’s face, upon hearing Wen Wen’s words, he could sense a chill rising, even imagining Wen Wen’s vicious expression.

He stopped struggling, wanting to curse Wen Wen, but the words turned into a helpless sigh.

"Alright, let me down, and I’ll tell you everything you want to know."

Wen Wen let Wang Dayi down and waited for him to explain things clearly.

Initially, he politely asked Wang Dayi but only received perfunctory answers and strong advice not to go to Muyuan District.

He knew Wang Dayi had no reason to harm him or Tao Qingqing, stopping him from going to Muyuan District might be out of goodwill, but Wen Wen needed to know the details.

But after a simple search, Wen Wen found out that Wang Dayi had mostly never left Lingyuan County Town in his life, which meant he was hiding something about Muyuan Community.

If it was in the past, Wen Wen would have had the patience to slowly uncover Wang Dayi’s lies.

But after encountering the ’Creator of Humanity’, his thoughts had been severely impacted, and with troubles from the Three Cubs and Tao Qingqing, he was becoming impatient.

Moreover, after killing Wen Li, some things that had been separated returned to Wen Wen’s body, making his personality slightly trend towards Wen Li’s direction.

However, with his current strength, this influence would not interfere with his judgment of matters, nor make him lose control.

Wang Dayi calmed down and began to narrate to Wen Wen while sitting on the steps, "I, Wang Dayi, am a Tomb Guardian."

Wen Wen squinted his eyes and asked, "Yin Emperor’s Tomb?"

Wang Dayi was slightly surprised but didn’t ask how Wen Wen knew, only nodding heavily.

"Initially, it was just Tomb Guardians here, but gradually more people came, and it became this Lingyuan County Town."

"More and more Tomb Guardians started to return to normal life, and the heritage began to gradually break off. Until now, only I and Seventh Master Tian are the remaining Tomb Guardians."

"I was trained by my father since childhood to become a qualified Tomb Guardian, protecting the tomb from outsiders discovering it."

"Later, I became a superpower user and a Demon Hunter, protecting this city while guarding the secret of Yin Emperor’s Tomb."

"And Seventh Master Tian’s eyes turned blind and became increasingly strange. Since he settled in Muyuan District, we’ve lost contact."

"Why don’t you train a new generation of Tomb Guardians?"

Wen Wen fetched a basin of water and listened to Wang Dayi’s story while washing his hands. He shouldn’t have smeared that chili oil on his hands, it was hard to wash off.

Wang Dayi gave a bitter smile, "Being a Tomb Guardian isn’t easy. I don’t want my descendants to suffer the hardships I endured. Besides, the best way to protect a tomb is for no one to know about it."

"Tell me about my assistant, why did she disappear in that Muyuan District?"

Wen Wen finally got his hands clean. Without a towel, he could only dry them quickly by shaking them like a fan, splashing the old Demon Hunter’s face.

"Muyuan District is the most unique place in Lingyuan County. Decades ago, the Tomb Qi leaked, causing an epidemic in Lingyuan County. That epidemic only infected the descendants of Tomb Guardians, causing those infected to turn into monsters over time. It was a disaster!"

"Later, all those who had contact with the sick were sent to Muyuan District for quarantine. Experts from the Association eliminated all the mutants, and the disaster finally ended. But since then, Muyuan District remained out of place with Lingyuan County, with outsiders often mysteriously disappearing overnight, none of whom ever returned alive."

"Tomb Qi leakage..." Wen Wen frowned, "Do you have a map of Lingyuan County?"

After getting the map, Wen Wen virtualized his hand on the map, comparing the distance he traveled through the cracks, he found that the Yin Emperor’s Tomb was right beneath Muyuan District.

"Muyuan District is the Muyuan District, and Lingyuan County is... Lingyuan County!"
