Chapter 557: Dilemma

“Could the Spirit Treasures Pavilion and the Alchemist Society have joined hands to conspire to murder us?” someone with persecutory delusion cried out.
Yin Xue Yang sneered, and said, “To kill a dreg like you, would they need to take such a round-about way? This lord can crush you ten thousand times!”
This certainly stood to reason, making many agitated people calm down.
The key was that the Spirit Treasures Pavilion and the Alchemist Society had no reason to do so.
“The eight pavilion masters of the Spirit Treasures Pavilion and the two Heaven Grade alchemists of the Alchemist Society, as well as the Heaven Tier elites, did they go to a certain historic site?” Ling Han suddenly asked.
Yin Xue Yang looked at Ling Han again, revealing an astounded look. Although this youngster interrupted twice and seemed to have no manners, every word he said nailed the spot.
He nodded, and said, “That’s right. The pavilion received news that Alchemy Emperor Ling Han’s ancient tomb was discovered, and within it were treasures collected by the Alchemy Emperor in all his life!”
Everyone was in an uproar.
The Ling Han ten thousand years ago was a legend, not only exceling in alchemy, but also at the pinnacle of martial arts. How much and how shocking would his wealth be? Thinking about it made people’s eyes red with desire!
Now that his ancient tomb was discovered, could you say that you would hold back and not intervene?
Ling Han’s expression, however, was strange. A ghost… in his previous life, his flesh was shocked into ash by the Black Tower during an expedition. There couldn’t be an ancient tomb where he was buried! This was clearly a trap to draw out the elites of Million Treasures City and take advantage of it to surround the city.
Concocting such a great conspiracy just to kill them, the useless troops? Even though there were still Yin Xue Yang and other Heaven Tier elites here, setting up the Fourth Killing Formation just to kill a few Heaven Tier warriors… this was obviously not worth it.
No, no, no, there had to be a greater scheme, just that he hadn’t thought of it.
“By the looks of it now, this is a scheme of luring the tiger out of the mountains. Hopefully, the pavilion masters and the two grandmasters can return safely.” Yin Xue Yang sighed. He obviously knew that things were too coincidental and there definitely was a bait.
The enemy hidden in the dark deliberately planned such a large scheme, so presumably, reinforcements wouldn’t come in the near time.
“We can only rely on ourselves now!” Yin Xue Yang cupped his fists, and said, “Please, old brothers and sisters. Be generous and help Small Yang guard Million Treasures City!”
“Million Treasures City is our home too, we ought to do everything in our power.” A voice floated over from within the city, extremely old but also filled with power and influence, making many people’s thighs s.h.i.+ver as they were unable to stand firmly on their feet.
“Small Yang, when its necessary to intervene, we won’t stand by idly.” This was an old lady’s voice, which was surprisingly like tough iron. After hearing her words, many people cried out with ears leaking blood, unable to withstand such oppressive might.
“Yes!” A third voice sounded, but it was a simple answer.
These were the few Heaven Tier forces in the city. Of course, this was also because of Million Treasures City’s singularity, or else no city in the middle state would have Heaven Tier warriors keeping watch.
Yin Xue Yang couldn’t help but feel relieved. There were pathetically little Shattering Void Tier elites in the world, and Heaven Tier ones were rare enough. Now, there were four Heaven Tiers joining hands, obviously making him much more confident.
Moreover, the mysterious enemy used the Fourth Killing Formation to entrap them—didn’t this explain that the opponent didn’t have power equal to Shattering Void Tier? Otherwise, even the four in the Heaven Tier wouldn’t block it, no?
Thinking so, his had slightly even more confidence.
