"Pack up and clean the site, then look for Zhou Yanzheng."

Xiao Mu instructed.

With the third-grade evil zombie killed and the energy fruit consumed, their next step, naturally, was to find Zhou Yanzheng to inquire about the location of the treasure land.

The three quickly tidied up the area. After cleaning the site, they got back in their off-road vehicle and returned to where Zhou Yanzheng's tomb was located.

Zhou Yanzheng, fearing that Xiao Mu would fail, had been anxious and hiding. When he heard the vehicle's sound, he pranced out of his hiding place with joy.

Seeing Xiao Mu and others unharmed, he guessed the outcome on the spot, and while filled with joy, he congratulated, "Mr. Mu, Electra, true martial artist, congratulations! Congratulations!"

Xiao Mu gave a nod in return, "Likewise!"

The defeat of the third-grade evil zombie not only meant that they had obtained the energy fruit, but also that Zhou Yanzheng's life had returned to normal.

This was a cause for celebration for both parties.

"Mr. Zhou, we have eliminated the third-grade evil zombie, as well as the added second-grade evil zombie. Now, can you tell us where the treasure land is?"

Wang Tong couldn't help but speak out.

"Of course, of course!"

Zhou Yanzheng, smiling, said, "I'll tell you three right away where the treasure land is."

He then crouched down and began to draw on the ground.

Soon, he had drawn a map, roughly showing the route from their current location to the treasure land.

However, immediately after finishing the map, Zhou Yanzheng solemnly said, "Mr. Mu, true martial artist, Electra, this is the location of the treasure land that I mentioned previously. Follow this route, and you'll find it."

"Beforehand, I have to remind you three, that the treasure land is quite prone to attracting evil absurdities. Although I didn't encounter anything strange when I went there initially, I can't guarantee there won't be any now."

"If you run into any, please don't blame me."

After a glance at Zhou Yanzheng, Xiao Mu responded indifferently, "We appreciate it. Zhao Yan, take a photo of the route with your cellphone."

Zhao Yan took out her cellphone, snapped a picture of the route. The trio bid goodbye to Zhou Yanzheng and drove off in the direction he had indicated.

After they left, Zhou Yanzheng quickly returned to take his paper human, paper horse, and paper carriage to get his coffin.

"That old man is quite cunning."

When Zhou Yanzheng left, Zhao Yan couldn't help but comment.

Xiao Mu nodded, a smile on his face.

However, Wang Tong was confused and asked, "What's cunning about him? What has he done?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yan turned her head to look at Xiao Mu, and the two shared a smile.

Wang Tong, being blunt and straightforward, didn't see the problem, but they did.

"Hey! Xiao Mu, Zhao Yan, stop whispering to each other! It could easily be misunderstood. Just spit it out, what's cunning about it? I don't see anything."

Seeing this, Wang Tong became anxious.

"Zhao Yan, you tell him."

Xiao Mu turned towards Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan went on to explain, "You just didn't notice what the old man said. If you pay close attention, you'll get it. He hinted that the treasure land could possibly be attracting evil absurdities and asked us not to blame him if we encounter any."

"That's normal, isn't it? The old man was just kindly warning us!"

Wang Tong looked confused.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but laugh again, "So you didn't get it. In my opinion, there are definitely evil entities in the treasure land. The old man was afraid we'd blame him if he said so, he didn't dare to make it explicit."

"Otherwise, why wouldn't he go back to the treasure land?"

"So, I think he definitely went back, probably to check out the treasures a second time, but was scared away by some strong evil being."

"He didn't dare to tell us the truth for fear that we'd get angry upon knowing that there are strong evil beings in the treasure land, so he deliberately concealed it."

"That old crook!"

Wang Tong finally understood and couldn't help but curse.

"The old man is being overly cautious."

Xiao Mu added, looking quite unconcerned.

It's quite normal for a treasure land to be occupied by evil entities. If it didn't have any evil beings, the place probably wouldn't yield any real treasures.

In fact, with the exception of rare circumstances, the greater the presence of powerful evil beings, the higher the possibility for treasures.

Xiao Mu and his team, who knew this very well, weren't the type to trouble Zhou Yanzheng just because the treasure land was occupied by evil beings.

Therefore, Xiao Mu thought the old man was overly cautious.

After Wang Tong finished his cursing, the three quickly changed the subject and continued driving in the direction Zhou Yanzheng had pointed out.

The distance to the treasure land was not too far, but not too close either.

Several hours later, they switched routes, gradually entering a rugged terrain.

"We're on the right track. It's this way. The ancient tomb area is a bit further on the right side. Once we pass that, we won't be far from the treasure land Zhou Yanzheng mentioned."

Zhao Yan pointed towards the right, looking at the map.

"What's that?"

Wang Tong suddenly stopped the vehicle.

The three got out of the vehicle to check out what was ahead.

There were about a dozen smashed stones scattered on the road.

Upon closer examination, they discovered that these were tombstones.

The tombstones had been smashed apart, but they were still emitting a faint trace of Yin Qi.

This indicated that the tombstones' owners were Yin Spirits.

In other words, all these tombstones belonged to spirits that hadn't yet reincarnated.

If Yin Spirits reincarnated, neither tombstones, coffins, nor graves would hold any significance, and none of them would emit any Yin Qi.

Seeing this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but frown.

So many tombstones had been smashed simultaneously, and all belonged to spirits that hadn't reincarnated. It seemed quite strange.

"What happened here? Was there a battle?"

Wang Tong asked first.

So many tombstones smashed at once was undoubtedly unusual.

This was the ancient tomb area, where every tomb had been resting for at least a hundred years.

Some of the tombs were even older. The oldest, it was said, could be traced back to the Ming Dynasty.

"Let's check it out."

Xiao Mu approached and examined the scene, trying to find some clues.

First, he examined the tombstones.

All of them had been destroyed by great force. On each one, Xiao Mu found traces of residual evil energy.

This meant that whatever destroyed the tombstones was an evil entity.

Unsurprisingly, it should have been a battle between the Yin Spirits and the evil entities.

In such a large-scale battle?

At least dozens of tombstones were smashed, which meant at least dozens of Yin Spirits had joined the battle?

Dozens of Yin Spirits battling with evil entities at the same time?

As for the outcome, needless to say, the Yin Spirits definitely lost.

Otherwise, these tombstones wouldn't have been smashed and left here.

What's this?

Xiao Mu made a new discovery. He bent down and picked up something from beside a smashed tombstone.

The find caught his eye.

It was a page of paper, to be exact, a page torn from a secret manual, bearing distinct energy traces.
