Chapter 2116: Chapter 2136: Are There Living People in the Tomb?_1

Lin Chen stepped into the entrance, and the scene before him changed in an instant.

Just as he had anticipated, the passage also contained the Art of Spatial Folding. Lin Chen found himself standing in a massive square filled with an astonishing number of adventurers.

So many people?

Lin Chen was startled, he quickly scanned around and discovered numerous powerful sects.

The five Sects had sent three representatives - Mystic Dragon Mountain, Heavenly One Sect, and the Floating Temple. There were also many powerful first-tier sects, notably among them, the Three-Saint Sect!

At a glance, Lin Chen recognized the leader of the Three-Saint Sect, Fu Zongjing, from the Elephant Mystery Realm. Behind him stood three other Da Luo Venerables and more than ten Sky Horse Knights, their aura extraordinary.

The arrival of Lin Chen’s group attracted the attention of the crowd, but only for a brief moment before they returned to their own affairs.

Overwhelmed by the scene before her, Hong Guilin whispered, "Didn’t we come in first?";

Song Jun quietly replied, "We were trapped in the stone chamber for a day. They must have rushed in during that time."

Xiao Shubo murmured, "These sects don’t seem to have suffered any major losses. Did they encounter no dangers, or did they find a way to break through the passage?"

Lu Xinyan whispered, "The Empty Xuan Monk from the Floating Temple is proficient in spatial techniques. Perhaps his involvement is why there are so many people here."

Song Jun gave a bitter smile and said, "We thought we had arrived early, but it turns out we’ve taken a detour and ended up at the back of the line. Any opportunities now are likely out of our reach."

Lin Chen remained silent, unconsciously casting his gaze towards Lu Yao.

Lu Yao slightly squinted his eyes, scanning the surrounding crowd, perfectly calm without a hint of tension.

Lu Yao’s perception was quite sharp, and he looked back the moment he felt Lin Chen’s gaze. Their eyes met in the air.

Lu Yao offered a faint smile and nonchalantly looked away. But in that fleeting moment, his eyes were deep and expectant, devoid of the confusion he had shown after his memory loss.

Is he... not pretending anymore?

Lin Chen suddenly felt that Lu Yao was aware of his suspicions and could sense that he knew his secret.

Between two individuals with secrets, there was no need for pretenses.

After all, they had come this far.

The Mausoleum of Emperor Qin is the ultimate goal of Lu Yao?

Although the vast space was filled with hundreds of people, everyone was silent, sitting cross-legged as if waiting for something.

Skilled at socializing, Song Jun went out to inquire, returned with a shocked expression, and exclaimed, "There are living people in the tomb!"

Living people?

Aren’t the hundreds of people here alive? If they’re not alive, could they be dead?

Uh, wait a minute...

Lin Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, he instinctively lowered his voice, "You mean, the owner of this tomb, or the tomb guardian, is still alive?"

"Yes."

Song Jun looked around nervously before murmuring, "The people who first arrived here initially planned to search the entire place thoroughly. But someone had warned them not to act recklessly or face death."

"The speaker was a man with a commanding voice. Nobody could tell where the voice came from. This man told everyone to wait."

"Everyone suspects it to be Emperor Qin. That’s why even the Five Directions Immortal Sect dares not act recklessly, for fear of causing trouble."

Hong Guilin whispered, "This tomb has existed for tens of thousands of years. This world was even destroyed. There can’t possibly be survivors from that long ago. Could it be the trick of an adventurer, pretending to be Emperor Qin to scare everyone off, so they can take the opportunity to loot the place?"

Xiao Shubo nodded, "That’s also possible. But given the number of powerful people here, whether it’s true or not, it’s not our place to act. Our job now is to protect ourselves!"

"Yes!"

Everyone quietly sat down in a secluded spot while more people were continuously transported into this gigantic space.

As Lin Chen was observing the surroundings quietly, he suddenly heard footsteps from his side. Turning his head, he saw Jiang Yuelin from Sea Shark Sect strolling over.

Lin Chen slightly narrowed his eyes and scanned the surrounding area, but he did not see Wen Gongping, the leader of the Sea Shark Sect.

Jiang Yuelin walked up to Xiao Shubo and said coldly, "Weren’t you the first ones to arrive? How come you just made it now?"

Although Jiang Yuelin adopted an interrogative tone, Xiao Shubo suppressed his murderous intentions and coldly replied, "That’s none of your business!"

Jiang Yuelin raised his eyebrows, "Oh, you’ve grown a spine, haven’t you seen in a while, did your courage grow hair or something?"

Xiao Shubo coldly responded, "What, do you want to take action now? Are you not afraid to stir up trouble?"

Of course, Jiang Yuelin was somewhat afraid. Despite being highly confidant and arrogant, he was still below Da Luo!

There were not a few people present who could kill him with one hand; how could he dare stir up trouble here?
