Outside the ancient tomb in Yangzhou City!
Young women held onto their injured arms and staggered out of the forest. Their faces were filled with anxiety. They looked around under the two balls of blue light for less than two seconds before they gritted their teeth and plunged into the dark and hidden ancient tomb!
Soon!
Heavy and hurried footsteps came from the ancient tomb's tunnel. Then, they swiftly returned to silence.
Soon after, the whooshing sounds of air being torn apart and the rustling of robes rose in the forest once more. It was incredibly frequent.
A group of people appeared in a hurry at the spot where the young woman had previously stopped. One of them had a gaze as sharp as lightning. He looked around and quickly noticed a few drops of blood at the entrance. He looked up slowly and cast his gaze at the deep and narrow ancient tomb tunnel. Then, his pupils shrank a little, and he warned the people behind him in a low voice.
"She's inside!"
The group looked at a man dressed like a scholar who walked out of the forest at the same time.
He had a frivolous and lackadaisical expression on his face. He fanned himself with a paper fan and chuckled softly. "She wants to use the Stone Giants and Dirt Puppets in the ancient tomb to avoid us? Hmph! As expected of Black Rose's chief strategist. Leave two people behind to guard the entrance! The others, follow me inside to capture her. "
The group answered in unison!
The seven people in the area were clearly not nobodies, and they had a great understanding of the ancient tomb. No one went forward recklessly. Instead, they activated their qi realms. Only then did a man who was rather tall and built lead the way. The others followed closely behind him and rushed into the ancient tomb.
There were a total of seven people who entered the tomb, and all seven of them were in Blessed Realm. They moved like the wind and entered the ancient tomb without any hesitation.
The man who led the way did not move even when he was attacked by the Stone Giants. His body fortification technique was so high that it did not lose to Thunderous Battle's.
"Follow the bloodstains!"
The man who fanned himself spoke in a calm tone. While he leisurely walked in the middle of the group, he calmly reminded the others. He seemed to be at ease.
The group soon left behind the Stone Giants and Dirt Puppets and arrived at the first fork.
It was clearly the first time the man fanned himself entered the ancient tomb in Yangzhou City. He cast a glance at the two paths in the small dimension, frowned, and said resolutely, "Phantom Jade, take two people with you.
"Phantom Jade, take two people with you. If you run into a dead end, immediately turn around and follow the marks!"
"Got it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the team split into two and went their separate ways from the first fork.
There might be a lot of forks in the ancient tomb, but most of them could be seen with just one glance. Soon, the group led by Phantom Jade caught up to the main group by following the marks.
However …
Soon, they came across a new fork.
Without another word, Phantom Jade led his people in.
There was nothing they could do about it. Their target this time was Black Rose's chief strategist, Red Coral. Not only had she planned an ambush and successfully snatched away a batch of important tributes, she had also taken away something that did not belong to them! This caused the higher-ups to be extremely vexed. They didn't hesitate to spend a large sum of money to buy the location of the red coral from the divination god. It could be said that they wanted to obtain the red coral at all costs and make the item drop before the other party could react.
"Young Master, there's someone!"
The group soon arrived at the main hall of the ancient tomb. The whistling wind from the fist and the hoarse and crisp sound of the saber quickly attracted their attention.
When the man with the fan stood at the entrance of the hall, he quickly cast a glance at the bloodstain not too far away from him. A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of his lips. As expected, Red Coral had been here before.
Sweeping his gaze across the hall, he saw that there was a fork on the left and right side of the hall.
"Go and ask."
The man with the fan put away his paper fan and sent someone over. Then, he opened his paper fan with a slap and began to wave it in a relaxed manner.
After chasing after them for such a long time, there was a high possibility that Red Coral had already broken free from her battle mode and logged off somewhere in the ancient tomb. If she hid for a while and notified someone to come over, things would become very troublesome.
Right now, they could only hurry up and find Red Coral before she stopped and released messenger pigeons. They had to kill her …
But there were plenty of forks in the ancient tomb, and it was very difficult to find her.
A person walked out from the group and headed to the player who was fighting against the Stone Giant in the innermost corner.
"Hey!
"Did you see anyone passing by?"
"…"
Fighting against the Stone Giant alone was not an easy task. He needed to be absolutely focused and could not be distracted by anything around him!
When he heard someone ask him in a gruff voice, he frowned and answered in a very displeased manner, "No!" He continued fighting against the Stone Giant.
"You …"
When the person heard Happy's blunt answer, anger shone in his eyes. "Watch your eyes! I'm asking you a question! A woman passed by here just now, where did you see her go?" While he spoke, he intentionally put away his weapon. Clang! His sword was drawn out of its sheath with a clear sound, and the whine did not fade away for a long time.
"This guy."
When the man with the fan saw the hostility from his own people, he frowned a little, but he did not stop him.
Even though Happy was clearly a Blessed Realm martial artist and practiced a high-tier saber technique, it was not wise for him to act like a tyrant in front of them. However, it was very unwise for him to act arrogantly in front of them. While they were on their way to kill Red Coral, they had suffered quite a lot of humiliation, and all of them had suppressed their anger for a long time. Right now, they had to run into someone who did not know what was good for them, and their emotions were a little out of balance.
They might not use their power to bully others, but at that moment, they were pressed for time. Perhaps threatening them was the most direct and fastest way to achieve their goal.
However …
This time, their thoughts were wrong.
Happy only spared some time to cast them a quick glance. His gaze was cold. Then, he did not say anything or do anything. He continued to fight against the Stone Giant, completely unconcerned.
'Very well …'
When the man with the fan saw that his group was completely ignored, a fierce and angry look flashed in his eyes. 'You think nothing of us just because you've practiced a high-tier saber technique? Just because you're wearing a beginner's equipment that's worth less than ten thousand taels of silver crumbs? Just because you have a body fortification technique that's so weak that it's useless? '
"You're just asking for death!"
The man with the fan closed his paper fan, and the three Blessed Realm martial artists beside him moved at the same time. Without hesitation, they pounced on the person and monster in the corner.
"…"
Happy soon noticed the trio's aggressive momentum and malicious intent. He frowned, but he calmly cast a glance at the trio's weapons. He did not show much panic.
When the unaffiliated person drew close, his expression darkened. He tapped against the ground, and against everyone's expectations, he instantly retreated to the center of the trio. He was surrounded.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Having lost its target, the Stone Giant swiftly turned around and chased after Happy, but as luck would have it, there was another person between it and Happy.
The Stone Giant's instinct to attack the closest target made it instantly shift its savage and fierce gaze to that pitiful person!
