Lin Qiye did not answer immediately, but turned to the mysterious old man and bowed respectfully:
"Senior, I would like to ask you, could the scene depicted in this mural be a portrayal of the battle between the Yueying and Shensha tribes back then?"

The old man heard this and sighed, his eyes dimmed:
"My friend, you really have a keen eye. This mural is indeed accusing the tragic clan war."

"Legend has it that the gods and demons are evil, specializing in refining people's hearts and creating demons. But my Yueying clan restrains them with the righteous way and swears to defend kindness until death."

"Thousands of years ago, the two tribes were at war, and the evil spirit used the demon-refining cauldron to perform various evil spells and almost wiped out our tribe."

At the end of his speech, the old man was filled with sorrow and anger, with tears in his eyes.

Lin Qiye and everyone else were moved when they heard this.

Although they experienced all kinds of dangers in the ancient tomb of gods and demons, they never imagined that there was such a tragic historical origin behind it.

“Senior, I am grateful for your teaching.” Lin Qiye clasped his fists and bowed in thanks.

He pointed at the demon-refining cauldron at the feet of the mysterious man in the mural and asked tentatively:
"I wonder where this demon-refining cauldron ended up? Senior, do you know its whereabouts?"

The old man shook his head and sighed, "That strange creature is evil and unpredictable. It shouldn't exist in the world. After the battle that year, it disappeared without a trace and no one knows where it went."

He paused, as if remembering something, and continued: "However, our ancestor once mentioned in his will that as long as the demon refining cauldron is not destroyed, the remnants of the gods and demons may return one day. By then, it will be a disaster for our Yueying clan!"

When these words were spoken, everyone gasped.

“What?! Are the remnants of the evil spirits going to make a comeback?” Yang Mi’s face turned pale and she kept shaking.

Lin Qiye looked solemn, and after a moment's silence, he suddenly said:
"Senior, I guess that the demon refining cauldron is now hidden in the Moon Shadow Ruins. And it is very likely the hub connecting the two clans' forbidden areas!"

"Because, not long ago, when we were exploring the Mausoleum of the Gods and Demons, we were fortunate enough to see the demon-refining cauldron, but it was just a replica. Although we did not completely crack the mystery at that time, if we can find its traces here again, perhaps we can uncover the final answer to the entanglement between the two clans!"

Lin Qiye spoke eloquently, his words were sincere, and his eyes were bright.

The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He stroked his beard and pondered, then nodded slowly, saying, "My friend, you are right. Although I have guarded the ruins for thousands of years, I have not found the whereabouts of the Demon Refining Cauldron. I believe that it must have been hidden by our ancestors using special means."

"Now that you and your friends are here, it is also because of your fate with Yueying. If we can really take this opportunity to find the evil weapon and get rid of it as soon as possible, it will be regarded as the fulfillment of one of my wishes."

He slapped his thigh, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Let's go! I will take you to the tomb of Yueying's ancestors and search for the traces of the demon refining cauldron!"

After saying that, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he walked straight into the depths of the cave.

Lin Qiye and the others looked at each other and quickly followed.

For a moment, the world was full of light and the road was paved with bones.

In the deep and winding tomb passage, the figures of the group walked farther and farther away, and soon disappeared into the depths of darkness.
In the live broadcast room, countless viewers were staring at the screen intently and talking excitedly.

"Fuck! The plot is so exciting! I didn't expect that the feud between Yueying and Shensha actually has so many inside stories!"

"That's right! These two ancient countries have been fighting for thousands of years. It turns out that the root of the trouble is that evil demon-refining cauldron!"

"Amazing! Lin Qiye's reasoning is simply brilliant and he is able to unravel the mystery!"

"As expected of a tomb raider, his IQ is second to none. If it were someone else, they would definitely not have thought of this."

"That old senior is also very wise. He agreed with Lin Qiye's guess so quickly. It's really not simple."

"That's right! With the great god Lin Qiye leading the way, and the old senior protecting us, this exploration journey is now safe!" "Don't be too happy too soon, don't forget, the last time we were in the Tomb of the Gods and Evils, the demon refining cauldron almost took their lives."

"That's right. This kind of evil thing might have some sinister tricks up its sleeve. Even if you have double insurance, you can't let your guard down."

"Oh, who cares! Excitement is king! The more dangerous, the more interesting it is, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, yes! An adventure with a life countdown is just right!"

Netizens were talking about it one after another, and were full of anticipation for the upcoming adventure.

The tomb of Yueying's ancestors sounds mysterious and eerie.

What kind of incredible layout will be inside? How many unknown secrets will be buried?
All these suspense cast a heavy shadow in everyone's heart.

But at this moment, Lin Qiye was like a sword drawn from its sheath, with sharp eyes and high morale.

In the dark corridor, there were only a few dim oil lamps emitting a faint light.

But even so, it is still difficult to conceal the gloomy atmosphere around.

The winding path leads to nowhere.

As everyone went deeper, the scene around them became increasingly bizarre.

On the stone walls on both sides, there are densely packed skulls carved with hideous features, as if they are howling silently.

There are countless bronze vessels scattered on the ground, some of which are rusty, some of which have strange shapes, and it is unknown what they are used for.

"Senior, are these bronze auspicious beasts used for sacrifices by the Yueying clan?" Cheng Long asked curiously.

The old man nodded: "That's right. The Yueying clan believes in the yin and yang of heaven and earth. Bronze is a yin object and is often used to exorcise ghosts."

Lin Qiye stepped forward and took a closer look. He saw that the surface of the bronze ware was covered with mysterious inscriptions and exuded a sinister aura.

"Looking at the patterns on these artifacts, there seems to be a mystery. Could it be some hint or mechanism?" he muttered to himself.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but become more alert.

In this ancient forbidden tomb, everything is strange and one could be doomed if one is not careful.

Suddenly, a soldier exclaimed: "Look over there! Something seems to be moving!"

Following the sound, they saw a pair of green eyes staring at them quietly in the shadow of the stone wall in front of them.

The look in his eyes was chilling and chilling, and faintly revealed a murderous aura!
"Monster!" The old man's face changed and he shouted loudly.

Before he finished speaking, a dark shadow had already jumped out from the cracks in the rocks and rushed towards everyone!
When I looked closely, I found it was a huge poisonous scorpion!
The scorpion was pitch black, more than a foot long, with sharp claws and a stinger that glowed dark green, giving people the chills!
"Be careful! This is an ice scorpion, extremely poisonous!" Lin Qiye was quick-witted and pulled Yang Mi behind him.

At the same time, several warriors stepped forward to fight the scorpion.

However, the Ice Scorpion was agile and ruthless, and injured several people in an instant!
What's worse, if someone is not careful and is stung by the scorpion's tail, they will die instantly from the poison!
The situation was critical. Lin Qiye shouted loudly, picked up his long sword and launched a violent attack!
For a moment, the only sound was the clanging of swords and the lingering sound.

Under his exquisite swordsmanship, the ice scorpion gradually fell into a disadvantage.

But just when everyone was relieved, something strange happened! (End of this chapter)
