Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Entering the Tomb_1

Zhou Li listened to Han Jing and You Guangyu’s conversation and couldn’t help but express his concern: "Brothers, Mr. Su helped us break the formation. Our actions...doesn’t it lack the customary morality of the martial world?"

"Shut up! It’s not your place to speak. What the hell is this ’martial morality’? Being in the martial world means we should strive for our own advantages. This kid has no affiliation with us. Why do you care about his life or death?" You Guangyu shouted to shut him up.

"This..Mr. Su was introduced to me by a brother willing to die for me, I..." Zhou Li mumbled with a pained expression.

"That’s enough! Shut your mouth. Once the treasure hunt ends, you will be rewarded. If you dare to spout nonsense, I won’t hesitate to enforce the disciplinary rules of the sect and wipe out your existence."

Han Jing threatened icily.

Zhou didn’t dare to argue any further, otherwise, the duo would certainly kill him. The martial world morality meant nothing when compared to his life.

At the ancient tomb entrance, Su Chengyu said to Yu Yanshu, "Yan’er, check out the inside of the tomb first."

Yu Yanshu immediately used the Primordial Eye to examine the ancient tomb.

In the depth of the valley stood a high mountain. The previous earthquake had split the mountain, revealing the tomb entrance. With the Golden Holy Door’s tomb robbing skills, the opening of the tomb had widened. Chilly wind gusts out from the tomb entrance.

Su ChengYu used his Divine Sense to examine the tomb but was obstructed and unable to learn more about the tomb’s interior.

Yu Yanshu’s eyes shimmered with a divine glow, scanning the area and then saying: "Master, this tomb is very big, almost occupying the entire belly of the mountain. I can only see the first layer of the tomb, which is like a maze. There are Bewildering Arrays and indications of danger. We must take caution when we enter."

Su Chengyu nodded slightly and said, "When we go in, follow closely behind me. Hold the protective amulets in hand. Use them in case of danger."

After waiting a while, Han Jing and You Guangyu led the elite disciples of the Golden Holy Door over while Zhou Li and few other regular Inner Sect disciples were left waiting outside.

"You may enter the tomb now, since you’re able to dispel the array, you can go first." Han Jing indicated.

Both Lin Chuxue and Yu Yanshu were aware of the sinister and lowly faces of Han Jing and his companions. They ignored him, and Su Chengyu led the two ladies into the tomb without a word, with the rest of the team trailing behind. The tomb excavation officially began.

At the campsite outside the tomb, Zhou Li instructed the other sect members to spread insect repellent powder in their surroundings, set up some alert bells to prevent poisonous attacks. His experience from the afternoon had left a deep psychological impact.

After finishing all the defensive and alert measures, they returned to the campfire and sat around, drank and chatted leisurely.

"Mr. Su is quite accomplished at such a young age. We’re lucky he’s helped us out. Otherwise, we would already be dead."

"Mr. Su truly has limitless potential. With his help this time, I hope we can succeed in this tomb robbing adventure."

Zhou Li downed his drink and muttered: "Mr. Su saved our lives. It’s a pity we can’t return the favour."

"Brother Li, what do you mean? You think they will all die inside the tomb?"

"Impossible! All those who came this time are elite disciples, led by the two Martial Marquis Realm experts. Could this tomb actually be a deadly pit?"

The group was dialled up in a heated discussion.

Zhou Li shook his head: "Don’t you see it? Brother Han and Brother You don’t want to share the treasures with Mr. Su. Besides, Mr. Su is accompanied by two extremely beautiful women. Who wouldn’t be tempted? Once the tomb robbing is successful, they are sure to kill Mr. Su."

Upon hearing this, the crowd was taken aback and fell silent.

"Well, we can’t be blamed for this..."

"Let’s drink. We can’t interfere in this matter. We can only hope to secretly remove Mr. Su’s body and bury it peacefully when the time comes, as a gesture of repaying his favour."

Zhou Li finished, and the others nodded: "Brother Li makes sense. We, too, are helpless in this situation. Burying him properly is the best we can hope to do."

Su Chengyu led the way. His Divine Sense faced some obstacles, but it could still reach around 100 meters ahead. The tomb path was extremely dark. The further they went, the more spacious it seemed. The sides were carved manually. Once they entered, an intense cold wave hit them.

But for them, the cold was of little consequence.

The tomb path sloped downwards. After a walk of a few hundred meters, they came across a huge stone door. Known as the Broken Dragon Stone Door, it was extremely heavy and nearly unbreakable even under Sword Qi.

This Broken Dragon Stone door was machine-aided that had been half-opened by the people belonging to the Golden Holy Door. Everyone could enter if they bent a bit.

Once they crossed the Broken Dragon Stone, they officially entered the first layer of the tomb room. The structure of the first tomb room was a complex labyrinth and intertwined with the Bewildering Formation, thus increasing the difficulty of finding an exit.

Soon after entering the tomb room, they heard a woeful wailing as the chilly wind blew across their ears, causing a chilling sensation.

Lin Chuxue and Yu Yanshu followed closely behind Su Chengyu. After hearing the terrible screams within the cold whistling wind, Lin Chuxue asked: "Where is this screaming coming from?"

"The owner of this ancient tomb must have belonged to a high status in his time, necessitating many people to be sacrificially buried with him. In ancient times, the more prestigious a person was at the time of his death, the more people were buried with him. They were brutally executed in the grave. Given their unyielding despair and fear in the face of death, and the tomb’s accumulated Yin Sha Qi, it formed vengeful spirits that didn’t dissipate for a thousand years. The screams you hear must be the victims of sacrificial burial before their death."

Su Chengyu explained.

"So evil! The ancient feudal society was too cruel. It’s shocking!" Lin Chuxue and Yu Yanshu criticized.

"I didn’t expect you to have good knowledge of ancient funeral morals!"

Han Jing and the others walked closely behind, overhearing Su Chengyu’s explanation. Han Jing laughed, and then said: "Mr. Su, is it? We have entered the labyrinth of the first tomb room. How do we break the formation to find the exit?"

"Just follow me." Su Chengyu replied coldly.

"Watch your tone while talking! Are you conscious of your weight in front of the Martial Marquis Realm experts?" You Guangyu shouted in rebuke.

"You Guangyu, no need to fuss."

Han Jing shook his head to signal him to endure. They could easily kill Su once the tomb robbing was successful, so no need to fuss over his temporary defiance.

As they walked through the labyrinth, the Golden Holy Door disciples discovered markings left by previous people. They moved forward a few steps and found some grave-robbing equipment and clothes from the Golden Holy Door’s disciples. When they lifted the clothes, a strong putrefied smell spread. The owner of the clothes had long turned into a bare skeleton and left a lot of blood on the wall.

At this point, Su Chengyu’s ears twitched, "Watch out. Here come the Poisonous Bats."
