Having slain the Headless Knight and tamed a fiery steed as his mount, Zi Liyuan was ready to immediately retreat to avoid the influence of the newly born Secret Realm beneath the great tomb.
After all, a ten-mile radius, even with the complex geography of the underground catacombs, would not take long for him to escape from at his current level.
What he didn't expect was that the death of the Headless Knight would cause a vast amount of death energy to pour into the Secret Realm.
The original black vortex solidified in an instant, and its reach almost instantly covered the entire catacomb group, creating a spatial barrier that cut off contact with the surface!
This was really fucked up, so awkward that he couldn't even run away if he wanted to.
Since there was no way out, he decided not to retreat but to loot the treasures inside the grand tomb first.
