The Old Trickster
"Guardian of the Tomb?" Gu Xiaoqi felt a sense of familiarity, though she couldn't quite remember where she had heard it before. Meanwhile, the old man continued to boast about his past achievements, claiming that even the top figures in the Underworld would greet him respectfully. He repeatedly mentioned that he was a vengeful spirit, one of the highest grade, with exceptional intelligence.
It wasn't until Gu Xiaoqi recalled events from the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley in the Immortal Realm that she realized something significant. Although she had been asleep in the Divine Space Ring at that time, Gu Lan had later shared information with her about vengeful spirits and the Guardian of the Tomb. After returning to the human realm, Gu Lan had even asked Daoist Yunlong and the Star Picking Pavilion to search for records related to vengeful spirits and guardians, but the era of these guardians was so ancient that they hadn't found any useful clues.
