Chapter 605: Chapter 605: The Underground Ancient City! (3 more)

Boom!

With the closure of the tomb chamber door, the long-lasting lamps on both sides of the tomb passage immediately lit up autonomously, casting a dim yellow glow that illuminated the passage, yet still left a hint of chill lingering around the heart, sending shivers down one’s spine without the cold.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Ling Feng felt a surge of killing intent explode, followed by the bone-chilling air once again wrapping around him, seemingly determined to eternally ice-seal him.

"Damned woman!"

Ling Feng clenched his fists, unable to believe that Tuoba Yan’s move was so decisive—the moment the tomb chamber door closed, she had launched an attack on him.

"Wait a minute!"

Ling Feng immediately roared out loud.

The endless chill still enveloped him, as if from the depths of an infinite abyss, a voice without any hint of emotional fluctuation came through, "Any last words?"

"Miss Tuoba, attacking me now, don’t you think it’s a bit premature?"

Ling Feng merely slightly activated his protective True Qi, and although he couldn’t see Tuoba Yan’s whereabouts, he still spoke very calmly, "The Emperor Tomb is open, but don’t you think that in order to receive the Great Emperor’s inheritance, we need to work together?"

"Nonsense, are you done?"

Tuoba Yan’s voice remained chillingly cold, "After I kill you, I will naturally obtain the ancestral inheritance."

"Ha ha ha, should I call you naive, or foolish?" Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, and spoke lightly with a smile, "The other half of the Heavenly Strategy Treasure has already recognized me as its master. Do you think with just one half of the Heavenly Strategy Treasure, you could succeed?"

The murderous aura slightly dissipated, and Tuoba Yan was evidently hesitating.

"Why don’t we cooperate for the time being? Once we truly find the Great Emperor’s inheritance, then it won’t be too late for us to fight to the death." Ling Feng shrugged nonchalantly, pouted, and joked, "Besides, you haven’t forgotten that Lee Qingling also entered the Imperial Mausoleum. With his strength, I’m afraid he’s no less than you, and only by joining forces can we deal with him."

"Miss Tuoba, you should be smart as well. I think you know which choice would be the most beneficial for you."

Tuoba Yan was silent for a moment; the next instant, the killing intent vanished, and the bone-penetrating Yin Cold Energy around also receded completely.

As the shadows rotated, a blue light appeared, revealing Tuoba Yan’s graceful figure within the blue light.

"For now, I’ll trust you once," Tuoba Yan said, her gaze fixed on Ling Feng, she spoke with a cold voice, "If you dare to play any tricks, I won’t hesitate to kill you!"

"Playing tricks, that would be after our cooperation ends," Ling Feng touched his nose and then stretched out his right hand, smiling lightly, "Pleasure doing business!"

"Hmph!"

Tuoba Yan gave Ling Feng a glare, didn’t speak, and just began using her movement technique, darting deeper into the tomb passage.

Ling Feng’s hand hung awkwardly in mid-air, he casually rubbed his forehead, shook his head, and followed behind Tuoba Yan.

Before long, they had reached the end of the tomb passage and arrived at a gloomy and dark entrance.

One could say that this entrance was the true gateway to the Imperial Mausoleum.

Inside, the tomb passage was grand, at least fifteen meters high and seven or eight meters wide. On both sides of the rock wall, there were treasures similar to Luminous Pearls, twinkling with a soft glow that, while not strong, lit up the path ahead.

The deeper they went, even the sound of the wind stopped, replaced by a chill as if emanating from the Netherworld Absolute Prison, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Yet Tuoba Yan remained composed, continuing forward.

Ling Feng couldn’t help but feel curious; Tuoba Yan seemed to be just in her teens, yet appeared to have seen through everything. Did she no longer possess the normal human fear as well?

What had this woman been through?

Finally, the narrow dark passageway came to an end. Tuoba Yan stopped in her tracks, only to find a cliff in front of her, with no further path to follow.

Ling Feng walked to Tuoba Yan’s side and looked out, only to involuntarily gasp in shock.

Below the precipice lay a palace of immense size, majestic and spectacular, resembling a Demon Beast in deep slumber beneath the depths of hell, exuding a single impression: grandeur!

Such grandeur that it was beyond belief!

"Truly a masterpiece of nature and craftsmanship!"

Ling Feng squinted his eyes, filled with admiration. Even the tombs of Emperors and Monarchs would only be like this at most.

Of course, Tuoba Yan naturally had no response to offer. Her body shone with the flowing blue light of the Heavenly Strategy Treasure, and behind her spread a pair of enormous wings. With a flap of her wings, Tuoba Yan soared toward the Imperial Mausoleum below.

Ling Feng too executed the movement technique of True Qi Feather, closely following her.

After approximately seven and a half minutes, the two landed outside the Imperial Mausoleum to find a city wall a hundred yards tall, stretching across the landscape like a mountain range. The greenish walls glistened with specks of ghostly fire, riddled with numerous sword marks and cracks that conveyed an overwhelming sense of foreboding.

Right at the center of the city wall stood a magnificent watchtower surrounded by rows of broken giant crossbows. Such a fortress could be described as impregnable, but despite its strength, it had succumbed to the relentless passage of time and turned into historical dust.

If this city had indeed been crafted by the Sky Strategy Clan, then Emperor Tiance must have harbored grand ambitions and the aspiration to dominate the world. Unfortunately, the destiny of the Sky Strategy Clan was a short-lived one, and despite Emperor Tiance’s exceptional abilities, he was never able to fully wield his strength and potential.

Before this Heroic City, Tuoba Yan halted, and her eyes finally showed a hint of emotion beyond her usual indifference.

Perhaps, in her own way, she could sense the helplessness and regret of her ancestors.

"Let’s go. Lee Qingling has probably already gotten ahead of us."

Ling Feng spoke up, reminding her.

Tuoba Yan, still disregarding Ling Feng’s presence, resumed her movement technique, leaping forward into the heart of the underground Ancient City.

The closer Ling Feng got, the more he realized the extraordinary expanse and grandeur of the Ancient City, which vastly exceeded his imagination.

It exuded an aura of rugged dominance and, despite thousands of years of erosion, it remained exceedingly robust.

About five hundred meters from the city wall, there was a moat that had long since dried up, a hundred meters deep and three hundred meters wide. Although dry, it still exhibited the domineering presence of the Heroic City.

They leaped over the riverbed, but for some reason, an overwhelming invisible pressure descended upon them, making their skin crawl, and even Ling Feng couldn’t help shivering.

It felt like an unseen gigantic hand had seized his heart, capable of crushing it at any moment.

"Master, there’s something quite sinister about this place."

Suddenly, Zi Feng’s voice echoed in his mind, laced with a hint of panic. (PS: Although Zi Feng is a Demon, he belongs to the category of Elemental Life and can merge into Ling Feng’s body, which is why the Prohibitions outside the Emperor Tomb do not reject him.)

"What is it?" Ling Feng raised his eyebrows, replying with his Divine Sense, careful not to alert Tuoba Yan.

"I sense an incredibly terrifying presence, as if it’s a force that does not belong to this world!" Zi Feng said with a quivering voice.

"A force not of this world?"

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, "Alright, I understand, thank you for the warning."

"Mhm." Zi Feng responded, quickly withdrawing as if he was indeed profoundly fearful of that power.
