Everyone walked closer and saw that it was an old man sitting on the stone coffin. He was emitting the kind of aura Romo had mentioned earlier.
The old man was very emaciated. His entire body was so thin that it was just skin and bones. The feeling he gave off was almost the same as that of the corpses that had fought with everyone just now. However, there was something different about him from the corpses. The old man’s body was all intact. He was not like the corpses earlier, which more or less had signs of decay or missing limbs.
Not only that, everyone discovered that the aura emitted from the old man’s body was also 80% similar to that of a corpse. However, the old man’s body was also emitting the aura of magical power.!!
It was this magical power aura mixed with the corpse aura that had formed an aura they had never felt before.
Soon, everyone discovered that the corpse aura on the old man’s body was becoming more and more obvious. His magical power seemed to be dissipating, and sometimes, it even seemed to be at the verge of disappearing. It was like a candle, waxing and waning.
At this moment, even Romo could not tell who this old man was or how powerful his magical power was. He could not tell if he was in cahoots with the group of corpses or if he was here to help him. Therefore, no one dared to act rashly. They could only watch this old man quietly.
Suddenly, the old man’s body twitched gently and he opened his eyes. At the same time, the aura of magical power on his body was much stronger than usual.
When Romo and the others saw this scene, they instantly became nervous and prepared to fight.
However, to everyone’s relief, the old man did not have much hostility toward them. Instead, he smiled at them in a friendly manner.
Even so, in everyone’s eyes, the sudden smile on such a withered face was more terrifying than ever.
“Don’t be nervous, everyone. I’m not your enemy, fellow Magi.” The old man opened his mouth slowly, his voice echoing in the air.
The old man’s words did not calm everyone down. They were still very nervous and looked like they would fight at any moment; they were afraid that the old man would explode like a time bomb.
Leonard and the others looked at each other, and they all simultaneously looked at Harris and Romo, who had the highest cultivation levels, in anticipation of their response.
“Who are you? Why have you appeared here? Were you the one who led us here?” Leonard asked.
The smile on the old man’s face did not disappear because of everyone’s attitude. “My name is Alan Heber. I want to help you, but at the same time, I have something to ask of you.”
When everyone heard the old man’s words, they still maintained a skeptical attitude as they considered the following conversation.
Only Romo looked like he was deep in thought. In reality, there was a dark hue which no one could sense.
“Alen Heber! Are you Alen Heber from the Golden Lion Nation?” Edward suddenly thought of something and said, “What did you say your name is?”
“Alen Heber. That’s right, that’s me. I didn’t expect that someone would still remember me after so many years.” The smile on the old man’s face did not decrease.
“Who is this? Do you know him?” Shirley asked.
“This senior is a Mage from 200 years ago. He was very famous at that time, and his most outstanding contribution was the invention of the Golden Lion Nation’s Hexagram Formation. However, he subsequently disappeared, and no one knows the reason,” Edward explained to everyone.
“I didn’t expect you to be missing and trapped here,” Edward said excitedly. “When you were famous, I was just a person who knew nothing about magical power.”
“That’s right, I’m indeed trapped here.” Alan Heber smiled helplessly.
As he spoke, Edward suddenly thought of something. When Alan Heber went missing, his cultivation base seemed to be of the supernatural realm. Moreover, it had been so many years, how could he have survived for so long?
Edward quickly recovered from his excitement, and he became skeptical of the old man.
Although Harris and the others had not heard of Alan Heber, they still did not dare to fully believe the identity of this old man.
Alan Heber could see the perplexed look in everyone’s eyes. “I know everyone is perplexed. The companions who had come in with me to search for treasures back then had all been killed by the corpses. Only by using a mystic technique was I able to extend my lifespan and survive until now to see all of you.”
Even so, everyone was still skeptical. Harris asked, “Senior, can you tell us what kind of place this is and how we can get out?” As Harris asked, his eyes looked at the stone coffin beneath the old man.
“Don’t worry, I’ll answer all your questions,” said the old man. “But you can relax a little. I’m not a threat to you, and those corpses won’t come.”
Alan Heber seemed to have seen through something. He looked at the semicircular barrier above everyone’s heads and said, “The formation spell you’re using is the Hexagram Formation I invented. It’s not very stable anymore. If it continues to be used, it will break soon.”
Upon hearing the old man’s words, everyone looked at Edward.
When Edward heard the old man’s words, he nodded. He had not explained the origin of the formation earlier because he wanted to test the old man and also to see if his identity could be trusted.
Since he knew that this was a magical equipment of the Hexagram Formation, it meant that his identity had some credibility. He waved his hand and removed the semicircular barrier.
Immediately after the barrier had been removed, everyone dared not let their guard down. Hence, they looked around warily for a few minutes. They then checked the surroundings again and saw that no corpses had appeared, so they temporarily let their guards down.
Alan Heber did not care if everyone believed in his identity. He spoke about his experience. “Back then, like all of you, we also came here to search for treasures, but we were attacked by the corpses. My companions became fewer and fewer, and one by one, they died in front of me. I had no choice but to search desperately for a way to survive. In the end, I was lucky to survive and found this stone coffin.”
The old man paused for a moment and continued, “There is actually a ghostly cultivator in this stone coffin, and this ghostly cultivator is the original owner of this place.”
When Shirley heard this, she asked anxiously, “Then why had this place become like this? And how did the corpses earlier come about? What do they have to do with the ghostly cultivator?”
Alan Heber ignored Shirley’s questioning and continued.
As the old man explained, everyone learned that this place had been a Mage’s cave abode originally. This cultivator and the Mage’s disciples had lived here. However, as the Mage had not been to advance to the Longevity realm, he developed an evil thought and started to cultivate the secret technique of the Yin Corpse Reincarnation.. And what happened thereafter, the rest of them already knew.
