Chapter 149
Shen Shi Yao's tomb is located in Yunlai Peak, the second peak of Mount Shu, which is located across the ravine from Diancang Peak, and is rich in Fengshui. There are quite a number of casual cultivators living on the mountain, and a lot of local people bury their family members here.

In order to keep it a secret, Shen Shi Yao's tombstone was written with her boudoir name when she was unmarried. In fact, in this deep forest, no one would probably have discovered this hidden tomb in their lifetime. Zong Zi Heng had left his spiritual markings here, otherwise he would not have been able to find it.

Zong Zi Heng paid his respects first, and then performed a ritual before starting to dig the grave. He stood on one side, watching his mother's coffin being exposed little by little, and his heart couldn't stop tightening.

Li Bu Yu whispered soothingly, "Emperor, don't worry, you are also trying to protect Consort Shen, she won't blame you."

Zong Zi Heng looked ahead without squinting. He couldn't look at Li Bu Yu directly with his eyes. He was afraid that his eyes would give away his emotions.

Last night, he and Xu Zhi Nan had discussed their countermeasures all night.

Li Bu Yu's identity was not trivial, and they were still in the territory of the Wuliang Sect, plus they had a common enemy, Zong Zi Xiao, to deal with, and Zong Zi Heng was in an unprecedented struggle.

In the end, they agreed that they must not lash out until they found conclusive evidence. Ten years had passed, and if this evidence still existed, it could only be on Shen Shi Yao's corpse, but Shen Shi Yao was already a white skeleton, so what clues could be left behind?

Zong Zi Heng thought of the Zhou Hou Spiritual Stick given to him by Huang Dao Zi. Whether Huang Dao Zi was worthy of trust or not, he had to give it a try for the time being, but with this magical treasure, there had to be someone he could ask.

Shen Shi Yao's coffin was finally raised, lying silently across the night.

Zong Zi Heng walked over and gently wiped the dust from it with his hand, sorrow condensing on his white-jaded face like the moonlight.

The surrounding was silent as no one dared to disturb Emperor Kong Hua.

Only after a long time, Zong Zi Heng said, "Open the coffin."

Li Bu Yu's face changed slightly, "This ..."

Several Wuliang Sect cultivators also looked at each other. Why should the coffin be opened to move the grave?

"Open the coffin." Zong Zi Heng aggravated his tone and repeated again.

"Emperor, what's going on here?" Li Bu Yu walked up to Zong Zi Heng's side and whispered, "It's inauspicious ah." He glanced at Xu Zhi Nan, as if hoping that Xu Zhi Nan would also come to persuade Zong Zi Heng.

Xu Zhi Nan, however, did not say a word.

Zong Zi Heng said softly, "I want to see my mother."

A dignified Emperor Kong Hua referring to himself as "I" sounded like an ordinary person who missed his mother, and no one could not resist being emotionally moved. However, to open the coffin of a buried person is a great disrespect to the deceased and will harm the blessings of future generations, which is a great taboo.

Li Bu Yu looked at Zong Zi Heng's tensed jaw and focused eyes and knew that he could not be persuaded, so he pondered a little: "Okay. Open the coffin."

The seven nails on the coffin were pried out one by one.

Everyone stepped back.

Zong Zi Heng pressed the coffin lid and said silently, "Mother, I'm sorry." He mobilized his spiritual power and pushed the thousand-pound lid off the ebony coffin open.
