Inside the Imperial Tomb.
Xu Que had already emerged from the ground. After taking a bath in the lava, his God of Hell's Compulsion had reached its peak and he felt much more energetic.
However, Xiao Yan's black robe was in a terrible state. He had forgotten to take it off when he entered the lava. Xu Que had underestimated the temperature of the lava and it had already turned into ashes!
At this point, he could only change into a scholar's robe and walk out of the tomb with his Drifting Cloud Boots.
Back in the tomb, Jin Da Pang and the rest of the spirits were still squatting on the ground, not moving an inch.
It was as if they had received a great fortune this time around. They had been in a deep sleep, but their cultivation levels had risen continuously. Their originally ethereal bodies had now become more solid.
Xu Que did not want to disturb them. After all, he had to come back after going out. When that time comes, he could exchange for another Spirit Locked Pagoda and bring them out to be his underlings!
However, the way out was not going to be very smooth!
Xu Que hurried back to the tomb where he came from.
When he raised his head, the hole he had created had disappeared!
"Damn, what the hell? This is obviously the tomb. How did it change? "Xu Que was shocked.
He was very sure that when he landed, he was in this tomb. The footprints on the ground were enough to prove it!
However, there was a ceiling above this chamber, and it was only two meters above his head.
This was definitely not right. When he smashed through the wall, it took him at least a few minutes to descend. Furthermore, he had used the Lightning Haste to descend at high speed!
Logically speaking, the ceiling of this tomb should be at least a few hundred meters high. Now, it had shrunk to only two meters and the hole was gone!
This was really strange!
Xu Que's face was filled with astonishment. He took out the Infinity Edge from the system inventory and with a whoosh, he flew up and slashed at the ceiling!
"Peng!"
In an instant, countless stones fell down and the bricks on the ceiling were smashed into pieces. However, behind the bricks was solid soil!
Xu Que's eyes widened as he summoned the system!
"System, what's going on?"
"Ding! After inspection, this place is covered by a restrictive spell. We can only rely on human strength to excavate!" The system replied.
Xu Que was stunned. Wasn't this the same as when he came in?
It was easy to dig down from the top, but it was difficult to dig out from the bottom. If they were not careful, they might bury themselves!
"That's not right! Where's the hole I dug when I came in? "Xu Que was puzzled again.
"The host is only entering a teleportation portal, not directly above this place!" The system replied again. At the same time, it gave Xu Que a route diagram.
Xu Que understood at a glance, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
The restrictions of this ancient tomb were too f * cking treacherous. No wonder it was said that no one who entered would be able to leave.
It seemed like the entire Ancient Tomb was surrounded by a huge teleportation formation. Although they had smashed open a thief's hole when they entered, they would be teleported to a random location in the Ancient Tomb the moment they stepped in.
It was the same for Xu Que when he came in. However, the power of the transmission array was too weak, so he mistook the pulling force for the weightlessness of falling, which led to this misunderstanding!
So no matter what, he was now trapped!
"Looks like I have to use the excavator again!" Xu Que's face was filled with helplessness as he summoned the excavator that he had rented earlier.
However, the system prompted, "24 hours have passed. The excavator's usage period has expired. Host, please pay 500 act tough points before you can use it again!"
"Damn! This again. "
Xu Que almost exploded in anger. This system was too unscrupulous.
However, 24 hours had indeed passed, and he was only left with 500 act tough points. How could he waste them like this!
"No, no matter what, I won't be cheated by you this time. I don't need the excavator, I can still get out!"
Xu Que suddenly thought of something and rejected the system's suggestion. 500 act tough points? Hmph, this Act Tough King won't let you earn a single cent!
He remembered clearly that Jin Da Pang and the other spirits had said that the old beggar came here hundreds of years ago and took away a luminous cup.
Since the old man could get out, then so could he. As long as he could find the old man's way out …
Thinking of this, Xu Que took out the Qilin Black Jade from his robes and studied it carefully. At the same time, he moved his wrist and infused some core strength into it!
The jade began to emit a faint black glow. At the same time, the aura of the old beggar permeated the surroundings!
Xu Que took a few steps to the left and the glow dimmed slightly. He took a few steps to the right and the glow slowly brightened.
"Oh, so it's that simple!"
Xu Que was overjoyed. If the old beggar had dug a tunnel, he would have left behind a spell that would have made the aura even stronger. The Qilin Black Jade would have been able to sense that place.
Taking advantage of this, Xu Que began to move forward according to the glow of the Qilin Black Jade.
Once the glow dimmed, he would change direction. Once the glow grew stronger, he would move forward quickly!
In this cycle, Xu Que walked deeper and deeper. Finally, he arrived in front of a wall. The Qilin Black Jade had completely lit up.
In the corner of the wall, there was a hole. There were a few words carved into the hole. However, it was too long ago. After hundreds of years, the words were already blurred!
Xu Que was too lazy to look at it. He squatted down and looked into the hole!
"Eh? Why is it so dark in front of me? Is the exit blocked? "
Xu Que glanced at it and was a little puzzled. However, he still continued to move forward.
After all, this was the only way he could go. If there was no other way, he would consider exchanging for an excavator from the system.
However, this passage was too long. It went up and down at one moment. It was crooked and twisted. Xu Que had been rushing for more than four hours!
He began to feel that something was wrong. Where did the old beggar dig the tunnel to? Four hours of walking was enough for him to run a few laps around the Imperial Tombs!
"Forget it. I've already come this far. There's no reason to turn back!"
Xu Que frowned and continued to walk forward. At the same time, he increased his speed and activated the Lightning Haste spell.
This time, he was very patient. After a few more hours of walking, he finally saw a sliver of light. Xu Que was completely convinced!
"That old beggar is crazy! He dug a tunnel and walked for an entire day! "
Xu Que's mouth twitched. He admired the old beggar. He was crazy enough to do something like that. Normal people wouldn't be able to do something like that!
However, Xu Que heaved a sigh of relief. At least he had saved 500 act tough points. This was something to be happy about.
He increased his speed and his body turned into a shadow as he flew forward!
Whoosh!
Along with the fresh air, Xu Que was finally able to see the light of day again. His body flew out of the tunnel.
But the next moment, he was dumbfounded.
The exit of this tunnel was actually a rock garden by the side of the Daming Lake!
"Directly back to the Imperial City?"
Xu Que couldn't believe it. That old beggar really knew how to make trouble. He just dug an exit and he actually managed to dig it all the way to the Imperial City. And he even chose such a picturesque location, right by the side of the Daming Lake!
My brother is amazing! This old beggar must have been a psychopath a hundred years ago!
"Hehe, this time … I, Xu Que, am back!"
Xu Que laughed coldly as he patted his robes and looked around. The sky had turned dark and the night had fallen. There were very few people on the streets. Only the courtyard in the middle of the Daming Lake was brightly lit!
"Oh yes, Lady Ya is also a member of the Ji Family. It would be much easier to get her tears!"
Xu Que's eyes lit up as he chuckled. His body instantly transformed into a shadow as he soared through the air towards the courtyard!
The courtyard was shrouded by a layer of restrictive spell, but it didn't stop him at all.
This kind of rubbish restrictive spell couldn't be compared with those in the Imperial Tombs. With Xu Que's powerful Divine Soul, he directly forced his way in and passed through the restrictive spell without alerting anyone!
According to his previous impression, Xu Que groped his way towards the backyard of the courtyard in the dark.
On the way, several servants passed by, but Xu Que didn't intend to expose himself. He sneaked all the way to Lady Ya's boudoir and was about to knock on the door.
But …
"Young Master Li …" Lady Ya's soft voice suddenly came from the boudoir.
Xu Que was shocked. Damn, how did she find me?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to respond, strange intermittent sounds came from the boudoir!
"Um … um … um … ah, Young … Young Master Li, harder …"
…
