Running A Cemetery in North America
Chapter 354 - 232: Nezha’s Fire-tipped Spear
CHAPTER 354: CHAPTER 232: NEZHA’S FIRE-TIPPED SPEAR
The death of Keynes and Li Mian is likely an unbelievable event for the entire Evil God Council.
After all, these two were the third and fourth Speakers of the Evil God Council.
If word got out that Sun Yan’s Graveyard took down two Speakers of the Evil God Council at once, it would definitely cause an upheaval among the top echelons of North America.
Those members of the Evil God Council, driven to frenzy by the mist, died in mutual killings without differentiation between friends and foes.
The ones left went mad and rushed into the mist, their whereabouts unknown.
However, it’s likely that these people will never return to the real world.
Where the mist leads is extremely dangerous for Sun Yan.
Returning to the main house with Dahuang, Sun Yan pondered as he looked at the piece of Jade Lotus Root in his hand.
Could it be the Holy Relic of the Three Altar Sea Assembly Great God? Then this reward is truly worth it.
Arriving at the offering room, he placed the Jade Lotus Root before the divine statue of the Three Altar Sea Assembly Great God.
The Jade Lotus Root instantly transformed into a wisp of clear air that was absorbed into the statue.
***
Tomb Guardian: Three Altar Sea Assembly Great God (Fine Level)
Assistance Divine Power: Dragon Slayer Child (Innate Giant Strength, Fighting Ferocious Beasts)
Three Heads and Six Arms (Transformation Technique, Infinite Uses)
***
Sure enough, the Jade Lotus Root was a Holy Relic, upgrading the divine statue quality of the Three Altar Sea Assembly Great God by another level and granting Sun Yan a new Assistance Divine Power.
Just as Sun Yan was about to test this Three Heads and Six Arms ability, white smoke suddenly filled the offering table, revealing a seated little baby.
This child had red lips and white teeth, fair like a porcelain doll, wearing only a red bellyband.
"Hey there, I don’t have much time to manifest, so I’ve got something urgent for you."
The Three Altar Sea Assembly Great God spoke with an old yet anxious tone.
Sun Yan knew the Fine Level statue couldn’t manifest for long, so he quickly nodded, "Great God, please speak."
"Help me retrieve my Fire-tipped Spear. I can sense its presence; you must find it quickly before it’s too late."
The Three Altar Sea Assembly Great God looked at Sun Yan and pointed at his forehead, causing Sun Yan to feel a faint indicator appearing in his mind.
This seemed to be able to guide him to the Fire-tipped Spear’s location.
"Don’t worry, Great God, I’ll definitely retrieve it for you," Sun Yan said confidently.
Having previously assisted the Monkey King in retrieving the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, this task felt much more familiar now.
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Three Altar Sea Assembly Great God vanished from the offering table.
The notebook in his pocket vibrated faintly. Sun Yan took it out, only to find a new task had appeared on it.
——
Side Quest [Land of Great Disaster and Drought]
Task Difficulty: ★★★★ (Extremely Treacherous)
Task Description: A Western missionary came to Zhu Family Town, but after a slight disrespect from the town’s people, the missionary left overnight, leading to many strange happenings in Zhu Family Town.
Task Requirement: Enter through the Cemetery Building to help solve Zhu Family Town’s troubles.
Task Reward: Magical Treasure Divine Box
——
Relying on the indicator left in his mind by the Three Altar Sea Assembly Great God, Sun Yan instantly understood that the Fire-tipped Spear should be in Zhu Family Town.
"What is the relationship between the notebook and the Immortal? It seems like their requests can directly turn into notebook tasks assigned to me."
Sun Yan was greatly puzzled. He had always wondered about the origin of the notebook.
It could issue task rewards when he thought he was the only one with a notebook.
But later he learned about the existence of the Grand Sacrificial Society, realizing that many Tomb Guardians existed in the world, trained by someone unknown.
Who is the creator of the Grand Sacrificial Society?
Sun Yan grew more confused, though his strength was substantial, it was clear that some truths were beyond his current understanding.
The following day.
Click Sunday had passed, and those members of the Evil God Council who died in the graveyard were all buried underground by some Cemetery Members using Corpse-Driving Skill, leaving no trace of intrusion in the graveyard.
Sun Yan walked out of the graveyard, heading towards the Abandoned Church in Gospel Town.
Upon entering the church, he saw a familiar pair of elderly folks praying there, the same couple he blessed when returning from the Grand Sacrificial Society last time.
"You’ve come again. Did you manage to solve last time’s troubles?" Sun Yan asked with a smile as he approached.
"We’re very grateful for the Divine Spirit’s blessing. We regained our house and no longer wander the streets. To thank the Divine Spirit, we’ve sold the house and plan to move to Gospel Town." The elderly woman nodded appreciatively, speaking sincerely.
Sun Yan was a bit surprised that the couple was so fervent.
Given the Living Dead incident last time, Gospel Town now had few residents left, despite the arrangement from Saint Anna City to send homeless refugees to settle, it couldn’t restore Gospel Town’s former bustle.
Now, to have someone willingly come to live here was quite rare.
Finding a seat in the Abandoned Church, Sun Yan began quietly waiting for a chance to go to Zhu Family Town.
...
East, Lin Group, Manager’s Office of the Logistics Department.
Lin Wan, dressed in a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses, sat at the computer with an extremely serious expression.
Her long black hair hung loosely over her shoulders, appearing particularly ambiguous in the sunlight streaming through the window.
The computer screen displayed news and data about graveyards worldwide.
[In 2019, a cemetery manager in New Zealand died from gunshot]
[In 2021, a cemetery caretaker in Austria died in an animal attack]
[In 2024, a cemetery manager in North America died unknown]
...
As she browsed, Lin Wan’s expression grew increasingly complex.
"Why are Tomb Guardians dying from accidents every year? Could what was said in the Grand Sacrificial Society be true, someone is secretly hunting Tomb Guardians? What do they intend to do?"
Lin Wan frowned deeply, her expression was heavy.
Her role as a Tomb Guardian was inherited from her ancestors, so her knowledge of Tomb Guardians and the Grand Sacrificial Society was more extensive than Sun Yan who became a Tomb Guardian later.
Lin Wan very well understood that the Grand Sacrificial Society held a long-standing secret, surrounded by a series of powerful forces.
All Tomb Guardians appear to passively accept the nurturing suggested by the Grand Sacrificial Society, and only strong Tomb Guardians have the privilege to know the secret.
Thinking of this, the image of Sun Yan appeared in Lin Wan’s mind.
As a Tomb Guardian, True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao, Sun Yan showed enormous potential with undeniable strength.
He might be the one among the Tomb Guardians she knew who had the best chance to access the Grand Sacrificial Society’s secret.
"Next time I meet Sun Yan, I should ask for his contact information, it’s crucial to be able to collaborate in real life." Lin Wan eased off the mouse, leaning back in her chair and spoke slowly.
At that moment, the notebook placed on her desk suddenly opened on its own, showing a brand new task.
Lin Wan picked it up and, after reading it, stood up and walked out of the office.
"Xiao Li, I’ll be out of town on a business trip for a few days, if anything comes up, get Manager Zhao to approve it."
"Alright."
