Ye Tian's interest was piqued, and he asked, "What did you encounter inside?"
Li Wenjun and the others showed a trace of fear on their faces. They recounted the situation, one after another. It turned out that after entering the passage of the pyramid, the ground began to shake, and they slid into a tomb chamber. At the same time, a large amount of sand fell, and a giant stone blocked the exit.
The tomb chamber plunged into darkness. Faint golden light emanated from the stone walls around the chamber. This golden light detached itself from the walls and coalesced into human shapes in the air, their faces contorted as if in extreme pain.
After a few seconds, these human figures rushed into their bodies, and they lost consciousness. When they awoke, ten hours had passed.
They couldn't clearly recall what happened in between, only that their bodies felt somewhat different. Later, they were rescued and left Egypt the next day.
But upon returning, various changes began to occur in their bodies.
Li Wenjun pulled open her right hand, revealing a snow-white arm. On one side of her upper arm, a black pattern had appeared.
"All of us have this pattern. It can't be washed off; it's as if it's grown into our flesh."
Ye Tian, currently in the Human Immortal Tribulation and not in good condition, said, "When I have time, I'll ask someone to take a look for you."
He couldn't use his powers at the moment. If necessary, he would consider inviting Li Yuan Kun, a Earth Immortal, to come over.
Li Wenjun replied, "Thank you. We came this time specifically to seek the help of that master to decipher this."
Ye Tian further inquired about their bodily anomalies. After listening, he asked Lin Ziyi to keep them company while he went to find Sun Huan Zhen. Sun Huan Zhen was hundreds of years old and more experienced than him.
Upon meeting Sun Huan Zhen and explaining the situation, Sun Huan Zhen showed a hint of surprise and said, "This should be a type of curse."
Ye Tian asked, "Grandpa Sun, is there a way to help them resolve it?"
Sun Huan Zhen replied, "It can be resolved, but the person who lifts the curse will experience great depletion, and is prone to being backlashed by the curse."
Ye Tian then asked, "What if you, Grandpa Sun, were to act?"
Sun Huan Zhen stated, "My perception of this curse is even greater than yours."
He didn't say it directly, but Ye Tian understood that he wouldn't act because the risk was too high.
He nodded and said, "I'll think of another way."
Sun Huan Zhen advised, "Some things, if you can do them without danger, it's fine to proceed. If there's risk, you must consider it carefully."
Ye Tian replied, "Grandpa Sun, I understand."
Returning home, Lin Ziyi pulled Ye Tian aside and asked, "Brother Tian, are they alright?"
Ye Tian's expression was solemn. "It's not optimistic. If this isn't resolved in time, they might lose their lives."
Lin Ziyi was greatly alarmed. "Then what should we do? Do you have a way to help them?"
Ye Tian said, "My current situation limits what I can do. How about this, let them go to the provincial capital first. If that master turns out to be a fraud, I'll think of something else."
Lin Ziyi nodded. "Okay!"
Around ten o'clock, Li Wenjun mentioned, "The few of them are almost in Hai Cheng."
Ye Tian said, "Then let's meet at Yu Shan Fang. It's almost dinnertime, so we can have a meal together."
Lin Ziyi smiled. "Yes, let's eat first. By the way, what do those three handsome guys do, and why are they together?"
Yang Lina laughed and explained, "The three of them are university classmates. They co-founded a software company in the United States, which is now valued at three hundred million dollars. They just secured ten million dollars in venture capital. They arrived in Zhong Hai a few days early, partly to investigate the domestic software market and prepare to open a branch company, and partly to accompany us in resolving the trouble we encountered."
Ye Tian smiled and commented, "Truly young and promising."
Yang Lina rolled her eyes. "They're not that young anymore, nor can they be considered particularly promising. After all, with you as the shining example, their achievements are not worth mentioning."
Lin Ziyi added, "As startup founders, they are already very accomplished."
The group spent some time strolling in the garden before all getting into a car and heading to Yu Shan Fang.
As Ye Tian stepped out of the car, he saw He Dong's car parked at the entrance. He Dong was one of the owners of Yu Shan Fang, and later partnered with Ye Tian, transferring seventy percent of the shares to him.
