Chapter 395: Chapter 0395: Continue Searching (The 16th Update)
Shen Xianming circled the ruins for a long time without finding an entrance. Feeling the sharp gazes from Elder Gui and Honda Sakura, Shen Xianming couldn’t help but feel a looming aggression at his back.
"Still haven’t found it?" Honda Sakura was becoming impatient.
She looked displeasedly at Shen Xianming, feeling as if this guy was toying with them.
Shen Xianming wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. In truth, he hadn’t visited this place for some time. The mechanisms here were regularly changed, and Shen Congwen was extremely guarded against him, often omitting to inform him or even purposely avoiding him.
So, it was normal for him not to find the entrance mechanism now.
But in the eyes of Elder Gui and Honda Sakura, it seemed like he was deliberately stalling for time.
At this moment, Tang Jiahui, hiding behind some rocks, watched the suddenly appeared trio and felt puzzled, wondering why Honda Sakura was suddenly together with Shen Xianming. At the same time, he felt curious about the black-robed man.
"This person doesn’t seem like a local from Su City," Tang Jiahui mused, touching his chin and speaking suspiciously. This man exuded a very dangerous aura, and if Tang Jiahui wasn’t mistaken, this man’s abilities should be above his own.
Tang Jiahui was somewhat hesitant, debating whether he should continue to stay here.
Before he could think deeper, he heard a subordinate say, "Boss, what should we do now? Should we rush over and fight them?"
"That’s right, boss, it seems they are also after the Earth Ganoderma."
Tang Jiahui, a man susceptible to saving face, especially in front of his subordinates, didn’t want to lose face.
"Don’t be hasty, let’s observe for a while longer," Tang Jiahui, not wanting to embarrass himself in front of his brothers, reluctantly agreed to bide time.
However, he hadn’t expected that one of his subordinates would suddenly sneeze, alerting the three people in the ruins to their presence.
"Who’s there! Who is that!" Shen Xianming’s first thought was that someone from the Shen Family had arrived, he immediately hid nervously behind Elder Gui.
Elder Gui gave him a disdainful side-glance, then turned his fierce gaze toward the rocks, demanding, "Come out!"
Honda Sakura quietly moved back a little as well, fearing that the emerging party was a formidable character and wanting to avoid getting hurt if a fight would break out.
Tang Jiahui glared angrily at the sneezing person, thinking how inefficiently they were handling the situation!
But then, he thought, even if the man’s martial arts were superior to his, how could they be afraid with so many of them against one person?
Honda Sakura and Shen Xianming didn’t know martial arts, and to think this single person intended to face over a dozen middle-stage Innate Ancient Martial Artists alone was absurd. If they played their cards right and used the terrains of the Snow Mountain to their advantage, they could surely capture him.
However, Tang Jiahui now found it difficult to call the others to join him in attacking.
"It’s surprising, a dog raised by the Shen Family has learned to bite its master. The very first person it bites is from the Shen Family, tsk tsk, what if the Shen Family finds out about this, wouldn’t they feel terribly betrayed?"
Shen Xianming’s face turned red with anger, staring at the people he recognized as belonging to the Tang Sect. He hadn’t expected the Tang Sect to also set their sights on the Earth Ganoderma.
"You’re not shining either! You activated the self-destruct device inside the villa, didn’t you? The famous Tang Sect resorting to such despicable acts."
Although the Shen Family had reconciled with the Tang Family on the surface, in Shen Xianming’s heart, the Tang Family would always be the enemy, and the Tang Sect an eternal thorn in his side!
Hearing Shen Xianming’s curses, Tang Jiahui was naturally incensed, but he remained rational, aware of his current undertaking. Beside Shen Xianming stood a person - a very dangerous person.
Honda Sakura also spoke up, "So it’s the Second Young Master Tang, huh? I knew that the Tang Family had made up with the Shen Family, but I didn’t realize that the relationship had become so strong as to warrant trespassing and vandalizing each other’s territories."
Honda Sakura’s voice was tinged with sarcasm as she deliberately paused as if realizing something, then clapped her forehead and added, "Oh, right, you’re not here for casual vandalism; you’re here to steal! Alas, if Old Master Shen finds out, wouldn’t he be disappointed in the Tang Family?"
Tang Jiahui was provoked by Honda Sakura’s words, and pointed at her saying, "Shut your mouth! Don’t think I don’t know you’re here to steal the Earth Ganoderma too! You say I steal? Does that make you any more honorable?"
"Boss, let’s not waste words with them! We’ve got the numbers, let’s move in and wipe them out!"
Someone shouted from the group, which hit the nail on Tang Jiahui’s head. There was no way he’d go it alone since he well knew his own limitations. With their numbers, they had to defeat them decisively!
Tang Jiahui assumed a defensive stance and said to the ones behind him, "No need to worry, we outnumber them. There is only one among them who knows martial arts. If we all attack together, we will surely capture him."
Shen Xianming looked worriedly at Elder Gui, his glance unintentionally catching Honda Sakura standing there indifferently. To be honest, he wasn’t very clear about Elder Gui’s strength since he hadn’t witnessed it firsthand.
But Honda Sakura was different. Having seen Elder Gui’s capabilities, she naturally knew whether he’d be a match for Tang Jiahui. Seeing her so composed also subconsciously convinced him that Elder Gui had extraordinary abilities.
Shen Xianming decided to hide behind Elder Gui and let them hurl insults.
Honda Sakura glanced at Elder Gui and asked with some concern, "Elder Gui, what should we do now?"
She wasn’t worried that Elder Gui couldn’t handle these people, but felt it would be a waste of time to get entangled with them here.
The explosion earlier was quite loud, and the Shen Family must have heard it. Perhaps they were already on their way here.
Elder Gui sneered disdainfully, clearly thinking Honda Sakura’s worry was unnecessary. In his eyes, dealing with these minor characters wouldn’t require much effort.
"You continue searching for the entrance, leave these people to me."
Elder Gui’s disdain was a grave insult to Tang Jiahui, who glared at Elder Gui furiously. The man’s attire was odd, even including a mask. Tang Jiahui felt a sense of familiarity with such an outfit but couldn’t recall where he had seen it.
"What audacity, you really don’t know the meaning of death then. Don’t blame my brothers for being impolite!"
After saying so, Tang Jiahui raised his hand as a signal to let the others go first. After all, he hadn’t understood this man’s capability yet, so he couldn’t rush in blindly.
