Chapter 121 – Trouble (2/2)
After he entered the Tomb of Emperor Zhou, Yang Ye was stunned by the scene before his eyes. Countless pa.s.sageways stood before him. All of these pa.s.sageways continued towards the end of his field of vision, and where they led to was unknown.
“The Tomb of Emperor Zhou has six main chambers and 12 sub-chambers. Only one of these six main chambers is the true tomb of Emperor Zhou, whereas, the 12 sub-chambers are where Emperor Zhou’s 12 Personal Gold Guard rest. Let’s forget the six main chambers, and it’s enough if we’re able to find one of the 12 sub-chambers. However, even that’s very difficult!” Qin Xiyue provided Yang Ye an explanation about the Tomb of Emperor Zhou as they walked. As a princess of the empire, the imperial household possessed all the relevant information related to this tomb, so she was quite familiar with it.
“Why should we forget about the six main chambers?” Yang Ye was puzzled. “The six main chambers are presumably where Emperor Zhou and the people important to Emperor Zhou rest. So, the burial treasures will definitely not be ordinary. Don’t you tell me to forget about it because the six main chambers have already been completely plundered by the six great powers and the Grand Qin Empire, or?”
Qin Xiyue shook her head and said, “Even the six great powers and my Grand Qin Empire were unable to find these six main chambers and 12 sub-chambers, so how could they plunder them?”
As if she knew what Yang Ye would ask, she continued. “Because this tomb was created by that Shengong Mao, and he utilized supreme divine abilities to conceal these chambers. Unless a Theurgist that knows Theurgy and surpa.s.ses Shengong Mao in Theurgy appears, otherwise, even a Monarch Realm expert would be unable to locate those chambers. Unless they destroyed this tomb!”
After Qin Xiyue said all of this, Yang Ye could be said to have come to an understanding. The reason the six great powers and the Grand Qin Empire had opened the Tomb of Emperor Zhou to the public wasn’t just because they intended to temper their disciples, and it was also because they hoped that an independent cultivator might be able to locate the six main chambers and 12 sub-chambers. There were all sorts of talented people in the world, so who knew if a Theurgist might really appear? Perhaps the six great powers and the Grand Qin Empire were holding exactly such thoughts, and it was fine even if no one located the chambers because they didn’t lose anything at any rate.
“Looks like you understand!” Qin Xiyue said, “In the beginning, the six great powers and the Grand Qin Empire really did hope that an independent cultivator might be able to find those chambers. However, along with the pa.s.sage of a few hundred years, they’d completely abandoned such thoughts and even withdrew all the experts that were guarding this place. So, if we’re able to find a sub-chamber now, then we don’t have to worry about being targeted by the six great powers and the Grand Qin Empire!”
Yang Ye laughed bitterly when he heard this. “Even the six great powers and the Grand Qin Empire were unable to accomplish it, yet you hope we’re able to?”
Right at this moment, the violet mink on Yang Ye’s shoulder suddenly flickered to arrive before the two of them, and then it pointed its little claw at itself.
“You’re able to locate it?” Yang Ye and Qin Xiyue spoke with astonishment at the same time.
The violet mink shook its little head, and then it ceaselessly waved its little claws.
After a short while, Yang Ye gazed at the violet mink and said in a low voice, “You’re saying that something is calling out to you?”
The violet mink hurriedly nodded.
Yang Ye frowned. If it was above ground, then perhaps he would take the violet mink to have a look. But this was a tomb, so could anything here be good?
He thought for a moment before he asked another question. “Is that thing that’s calling out to you something good, or bad?”
The violet mink blinked and didn’t know whether it should shake its head or nod. Obviously, this question baffled it as well.
Qin Xiyue rolled her eyes at Yang Ye and said, “Little Brother, it hasn’t even seen the thing that’s calling out to it, so how could it determine if that thing is good or bad? Aren’t you making things difficult for it?”
Yang Ye smiled embarra.s.sedly, and then he said, “Little Fellow, do you want to go have a look?”
The violet mink thought for a moment before it nodded.
Yang Ye was still slightly hesitant because he was truly a bit worried.
Right at this moment, Qin Xiyue said, “Let’s go have a look. Darkbeasts usually reject and feel aversion towards dangerous things. Since it wants to go have a look, then it represents that the thing that’s calling out to it doesn’t have any ill intent towards it!”
When he heard this, Yang Ye stopped hesitating and immediately nodded.
Suddenly, Yang Ye’s pupils constricted as he swiftly turned around to look behind them. Two women were looking coldly at him from over 30m away, and one of those women was Su Xiaoxiao.
