"Where did you find him?" Zhou Wen sized up Liu Yun. He was somewhat puzzled as to why Liu Yun was so concerned about this matter.
"It's quite a coincidence. I originally came here to wait for you. I guessed that after you obtained the Earth Elemental Beast, you would most likely come to the Founding Emperor Tomb. To my surprise, I didn't see you after waiting for so long. Instead, I discovered Xie Yukun, who was selling things at the market. I recognized him as one of those people. So I secretly followed and monitored him, but I was discovered by him. "
Liu Yun paused for a moment before continuing, "Who do you think I, Liu Yun, am? He naturally isn't my match. In order to save his life, this old fellow told me some things. Only then did I know that he had indeed gone to Zhuolu and was in charge of supervising the expedition team's work with a few others. However, later on, the others disappeared with the expedition team. He said that he had returned to the encampment that day because he was sick, so he escaped the calamity. I naturally didn't believe him. "
"And then?" Zhou Wen increasingly found this matter odd.
He felt that the old man was most likely Jing Daoxian, but Liu Yun said that he was Xie Yukun and that he was related to the Zhuolu expedition team. This was somewhat strange.
"Then, he told me some nonsense, saying that there's something good in the Founding Emperor Tomb and that he has a way to enter. I think he really knows the Founding Emperor Tomb very well. Furthermore, I'm very curious as to why he's in such a hurry to enter the Founding Emperor Tomb. Therefore, I agreed to cooperate with him and temporarily stabilize him before waiting for you to come," Liu Yun said.
Zhou Wen sized up Liu Yun for a while before asking, "Why are you interested in the expedition team?"
"Ahem, of course it's because I'm concerned about you, Junior Brother. I know you are very concerned about this matter, so I helped you investigate." Liu Yun changed the topic and said, "If you don't believe me, we can capture that Xie Yukun later. You can torture him personally and you will know if I'm lying to you."
"Me? Beat him? I'm afraid that the two of us will be the ones crippled, "Zhou Wen said with a twitch of his lips.
"Don't worry. Although that old man has some ability, he's far from being a match for us. I can deal with him alone," said Liu Yun smugly.
Zhou Wen looked at Liu Yun's expression and didn't seem to be faking it, so he said to him, "I don't know why you are interested in this matter, but I don't know if that old man is Xie Yukun. I just feel that he looks like someone."
"Who is it?" Liu Yun hurriedly asked when he saw Zhou Wen's serious expression.
"Jing Daoxian," Zhou Wen said the three words.
When Liu Yun heard this, his expression changed. He said in disbelief, "That's impossible, right? How can he be Jing Daoxian? "
"In any case, I won't be going to the Founding Emperor Tomb. Do as you see fit." As Zhou Wen spoke, he was about to leave when he brushed past Liu Yun. When he looked ahead, his expression changed.
At some point in time, the old man was standing on the road in front of them, smiling at them. Zhou Wen's back immediately broke out into a cold sweat.
Liu Yun wanted to stop Zhou Wen, but when he turned his head and saw the old man, his expression changed.
"Old Man Xie, when did you come?" Liu Yun also knew that something was amiss. Xie Yukun had appeared so close to them, but he hadn't sensed him at all.
The old man ignored him and smiled at Zhou Wen. "I never expected you to recognize me. It's somewhat beyond my expectations."
"It's difficult not to recognize a figure like you," Zhou Wen said to Jing Daoxian. The old man had clearly admitted that he was Jing Daoxian.
Jing Daoxian didn't comment. "Since you are interested in the Founding Emperor Tomb, why don't you enter together? You should know that even if I kill everyone in this world, I won't bear for you to die. There's no need for you to be wary of me. "
"You … Are you really Jing Daoxian?" Liu Yun widened his eyes as he looked at Jing Daoxian in disbelief.
The number one devil in the Federation. He had actually beaten up the number one devil in the Federation and was still standing here perfectly fine. Now, Liu Yun felt his legs go limp.
"From the looks of it, you were also waiting for me?" Zhou Wen stared at Jing Daoxian.
"I originally wanted to wait for the Zhang family's Earth Elemental Beast to be auctioned off before taking it back. However, since you took the Earth Elemental Beast, I naturally can't take anything from you. I can only wait for you here," Jing Daoxian said.
"I'm very sorry. I'm not interested in the Founding Emperor Tomb. I'm leaving. Since you and my Eldest Senior Brother are so interested in the Founding Emperor Tomb, it's best the both of you go together," Zhou Wen said.
Liu Yun's face turned livid as he forced a smile. "I'm not interested either. I was just fooling around. Don't take it to heart, Old Master."
Jing Daoxian's expression didn't change as he sighed. "It didn't matter if the two of you didn't go, but now, one of you has the Earth Elemental Beast and the other has the Emperor Qin Sword. These two items are necessary to enter the Founding Emperor Tomb, so no matter what, I can only invite you to accompany me."
"What if I say no?" Zhou Wen was already prepared to fight or flee.
Jing Daoxian smiled and said, "You don't have to be so nervous. I've said it before. Even if everyone in the world dies, I will ensure your survival. Therefore, you don't need to treat me as an enemy. However, you have to accompany me on this trip to the Founding Emperor Tomb no matter what. I'm just too old and my body is too weak. I need some external help to continue living. "
"That's your problem. What has it got to do with me?" As Zhou Wen spoke, he retreated. Although Jing Daoxian treated him as a test subject and the possibility of him killing him wasn't high, who knew what kind of schemes Jing Daoxian had?
However, who knew what Jing Daoxian was plotting? It was best to stay as far away from him as possible.
Zhou Wen had seen Lord Alcohol and Xia Jiuhuang's outcome with his own eyes. The two of them were also Jing Daoxian's test subjects. There was no doubt about that.
"Since Zhou Wen isn't going, it's useless for me to go. I'll leave this sword behind for you. Kid, I'll be leaving first. If you have anything to say, take your time chatting with my junior brother." Liu Yun placed the ancient sword on the ground and retreated.
Jing Daoxian didn't stop them. All he did was slowly take out something. It was an ancient bronze mirror. The mirror's surface was blurry, and the shadow it reflected was also blurry.
When Zhou Wen saw the ancient mirror, he felt that something was amiss. He summoned the Earth Elemental Beast and wanted to use Earth Escape to leave.
Liu Yun's speed wasn't slow either. Like a meteor, he quickly charged into the forest.
Jing Daoxian had no intention of stopping them. He held the ancient mirror and slowly spun it. Then, a strange scene happened. Zhou Wen, who had already used Earth Escape, and Liu Yun, who had rushed into the forest, retreated.
"Follow me!" Jing Daoxian carried the ancient mirror and walked. Zhou Wen and Liu Yun couldn't control their bodies. Like puppets, they were pulled towards the Founding Emperor Tomb.
