"Everyone, be careful of the statue."

After advising the group, Su Chen supported Gu Yue and used his Inner Strength to heal her injuries.

Once she woke up, he could ask her where the statue was.

"How is she?" The man with a buzz cut approached.

He asked.

Su Chen's expression turned slightly somber as he said, "When she fought with us earlier, she indeed got seriously injured, but those were inner injuries. However, look at the surface of her body!"

The man with a buzz cut closely examined the wounds on Gu Yue's body surface.

"They're slashes, and they're new!" The man with a buzz cut frowned, "Could it be she encountered someone else?"

"It's very possible!"

If that's the case, it's troublesome.

The statue very likely has been stolen.

However, now he could only focus on waking Gu Yue.

More than ten minutes later.

Gu Yue slowly regained consciousness.

She looked at Su Chen and the buzz-cut man standing in front of her, then slowly closed her eyes again.

Her expression was one of great pain.

"The statue? Was it stolen?" Su Chen asked.

Gu Yue opened her eyes and shook her head painfully, saying, "It's too late, everything is too late!"

"What do you mean too late? Be clear!" Su Chen shook the still weak Gu Yue.

Gu Yue opened her eyes, full of resentment, and looked at Su Chen and the buzz-cut man, saying, "It's all because of you, now no one can stop them!"

"Who are they?" The man's face turned ugly.

Gu Yue was dazed for a while before finally slowly speaking three words: "Asura!"

"Asura?" Upon hearing these three words, Su Chen was shocked.

The man with the buzz cut also had a slight change in expression.

Clearly, he knew about Asura.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen's trip to Huangshan Village drew the attention of Asura.

No, it couldn't have been him that attracted them.

Just a coincidence.

"What does Asura want with the serpent-haired woman's statue?"

Gu Yue struggled to stand up, then began to speak: "..."

After listening to Gu Yue's account, Su Chen and the man with the buzz cut exchanged a glance.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yue turned out to be the Guardian of the Sword Tomb.

The Sword Tomb only existed in legend.

Legend had it that the Sword Tomb was the burial site of the Sword God Dugu Qiubai's swords. He placed his lifetime's study of Supreme Sword Dao into the Sword Tomb.

Once obtained, one could become invincible in the world.

For hundreds of years, countless people searched for the whereabouts of the Sword Tomb.

Various rumors about the Sword Tomb were also spread.

It was said the Sword Tomb was guarded by a Divine Beast, and anyone who entered would be torn to pieces by the Guardian Divine Beast.

Some said the Sword Tomb was sealed in Hell.

Entering the Sword Tomb was like entering Hell.

Others said the Sword Tomb didn't exist at all.

And all that Supreme Sword Dao talk was just a scam.

But most of these rumors were eventually confirmed to be fabricated.

As for where the Sword Tomb is and what it contains, no one knows.

It was unexpected that Gu Yue turned out to be from the Guardian Sword Tomb clan!

Now that the Guardian of the Sword Tomb has appeared.

Then the legend of the Sword Tomb should also be true.

According to what Gu Yue said.

The Guardian Divine Beast indeed exists.

For hundreds of years.

Many have found the Sword Tomb.

But no one has truly entered the Sword Tomb.

Anyone who dared to invade the Sword Tomb was either killed by the Sword Tomb Guardian or torn apart by the Divine Beast.

But just recently.

The location of the Sword Tomb was discovered by Asura.

How powerful is Asura.

Currently ranked number one in the world.

With countless experts under their command.

And even Undead Battle Corpses.

The appearance of Asura shocked the entire Guardian clan.

All the experts of the Guardian clan were almost wiped out by Asura.

Speaking of Asura.

A flash of fear crossed Gu Yue's face.

Because those people are terrifying.

They're utterly unkillable.

Even when pierced through the heart with a sword, they stand back up to continue fighting.

And that one incredibly strong being.

Even the Clan Leader of the Guardian clan is no match for him!

Thankfully.

The Divine Beast guarding the Sword Tomb was present.

It halted Asura's progress.

"What exactly is the Guardian Divine Beast? It can actually stop Asura?" Su Chen asked, somewhat amazed.

You have to understand.

He had experienced firsthand how powerful Asura is.

If the Guardian Divine Beast could stop Asura, it must be an incredibly fearsome presence.

"It's a Qilin!" Gu Yue said.

Qilin!

Unexpectedly, the Qilin really existed.

Su Chen and the man with the buzz cut exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Yes, the Qilin has always existed, and it's always been guarding the Sword Tomb. With it there, no one can cross the threshold, even that person was heavily injured in the battle with the Qilin!" Speaking of the Qilin, a hint of pride appeared on Gu Yue's face.

"But..." Suddenly, a trace of gloom crossed Gu Yue's face.

"They found a way to deal with the Qilin!"

"Is it the serpent-haired woman's statue?" Su Chen asked.

"That's right, it's the serpent-haired woman's statue!" Gu Yue nodded.

"Legend has it that the statue of the serpent-haired woman was formed from the head of the Medusa Queen after her death!"

Medusa, also translated as Medusa or Medusa, is a snake-haired monster in Ancient Greek mythology, one of the three Gorgon sisters, living at the place where Oceanus meets the land of night.

A widely circulated legend is that Poseidon was attracted by Medusa's beauty and raped her in Athena's temple, which angered Athena.

Athena couldn't punish Poseidon, so she turned Medusa into a terrifying snake-haired monster. Any man who looked into her eyes would immediately turn to stone. Therefore, the word Medusa implies "extremely ugly woman" (although that's a misleading and out-of-context version, it indeed misled many people).

Medusa was the only one among the Gorgons who couldn't achieve immortality, so Perseus was able to cut off her head and kill her, offering the head to Athena, who embedded it in the center of the divine shield Aegis.

Medusa's head!

The legendary snake-haired monster!

This is a foreign legend.

Su Chen had heard of it.

But he thought it was a mythological story.

Additionally, he initially viewed it as a curse of Huangshan Village.

But after hearing Gu Yue's account.

It really seemed to be the case.

"Asura wants Medusa's head to deal with the Divine Beast Qilin?"

"Yes, the Qilin, being an Ancient Divine Beast, is incredibly powerful, humans can't possibly be its match, only such an entity can confront it."

"And you took Medusa's head to prevent Asura from acquiring it?"

"Yes, now they've already gotten Medusa's head, no one can stop them anymore, it's all because of you, it's all because of you, you've committed a colossal disaster!" Gu Yue's expression turned grim.
