Ximen Lianyin

**Ximen Lianyin** was a Gravekeeper and the ancestor of Ximen Guanren and Ximen Ruxin, as well as the successor of Ximen Lan.

## Background

In the year of 1860, Ximen Lianyin was part of the assassination team (consisting of Huang Yuanqing, Ye Liao and herself) sent to assassinate Che Yongtai's previous incarnation, with the mission being a success. Her contributions in the mission would be the reason for the Gravekeeper clan's rise in prominence and eventually becoming known as one of the Three Great Guardian Clans along with Untitled Sages and Nightwatchers.

## Personality

Not much is known about Ximen Lianyin's personality, though she is quite selfless, as shown when she prioritized killing Che Yongtai 's previous incarnation's Inferno Mount over her own life in order for the assassination to go as planned, which resulted in her death (though she was revived later due to World Hopping).

## Appearance

Ximen Lianyin was seen wearing a black robe during her assassination attempt on Che Yongtai's previous incarnation. When she became an Undertaker after gaining a power boost from the Golden Scale Seal, her hair turned white, her skin turned black, and her eyes glowed red.

## Abilities and Powers

Ximen Lianyin was the representative guardian of the Gravekeepers and part of the assassination team sent to kill Che Yongtai's previous incarnation, proving that she is formidably powerful.

### Gravekeeper exclusive techniques

* Ximen Lianyin enlarging her arms
* Undertaker
* Genocide Technique
* Ximen Lianyin hiding in the shadows
1/4
* **Arm Enlargement/Finger Elongation**: Gravekeepers are able to enlarge their arms and hands and elongate their fingers and fingernails, which become sharp and are able to easily cut through flesh.
* **World Hopping**: Due to being a special entity that exists between humans and demons, Gravekeepers are able to go to the Underworld and survive the Limbo, a separate space between the human world and the Underworld that is impossible for organisms other than Gravekeepers to survive in. This technique will forcefully teleport Gravekeepers to the Underworld seconds before their death in the human world, keeping them alive after the process. To return to the human world, the Gravekeeper must run across the Limbo, which usually takes a few minutes. With more practice, the Gravekeeper can return to a location closer to the location they died and will feel less exhausted.
* **Undertaker** (送（**Sòng**）葬（**Zàng**）者（**Zhě**）): The ultimate form achievable by a Gravekeeper. While in this form, a Gravekeeper's skin will become extremely dark, their hair will turn white, and their eyes will glow red. The Gravekeeper also gains a significant boost in power, and their ability to enlarge their hands is greatly amplified, as **Ximen Lianyin** hands were large enough to crush all the demon soldiers in Demon Lord City after gathering them into a large ball. They also gain access to the technique "Genocide Technique", and the ability to hide in the shadows.
	+ **Genocide Technique** (种（**Zhǒng**）族（**Zú**）灭（**Miè**）杀（**Shā**）技（**Jì**）): By killing an creature and memorizing the trait of the creature's race within their blood, the Gravekeeper can then telekinetically attract all members of the same race within a few kilometers together into a sphere and attack them all at once. Anything that even has the smell of the targeted race will be attracted towards the Gravekeeper when this move is used.
	+ **Shadow Hiding:**While as an Undertaker, the Gravekeeper is capable of hiding within the shadows of anything, and release themselves from the shadows at will to sneak attack their enemy. This was shown when Ximen Lianyin hid in the shadows of the huge boulder Huang Yuanqing threw at Che Yongtai 's previous incarnation and sneak attacked his Inferno Mount.

### Ximen Lianyin's techniques

* **Golden Scale Seal** (金鳞绝咒): A sealing technique that allows the user to gain three times their original power, and awaken latent abilities within them for one hour by releasing the energy other people stored within them beforehand, at the cost of lowering their power to less than one third of their original strength while the power is sealed. Once released, the user will release a pillar of destructive light, as well as have their powers tripled.
