101 Disturbance in the Ancient Tomb (1/2)

Outside the ancient tomb located a distance away from Yangzhou City was a young woman. She staggered out of a forest while cradling her injured arm. There was anxiety on her face, and under two phantasmal balls of blue light, she looked around for just a short while before she gritted her teeth and went straight into the dark ancient tomb! Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Soon, heavy but swift footsteps rose from deeper in the tunnel. Yet those sounds quickly faded away and returned to silence.

Not long after, whooshing sounds came from the forest. They were similar to the sounds produced when something sliced apart the air, and there were also the sounds of sleeves fluttering. There were a lot of them…

A group of people appeared at the spot where the young woman had once stopped. One of them had an electrifying gaze. Once he looked around, he quickly noticed the specks of blood at the entrance of the ancient tomb, and he slowly looked up to cast his gaze at the dark and narrow tunnel nearby.

He narrowed his eyes and told the people behind him in a deep and grave voice, ”She's inside.”

Everyone looked at a man dressed in a scholar's robe simultaneously when he walked out of the forest.

He had a disdainful and lackadaisical look on his face. While he fanned himself with a paper fan, he chuckled. ”She wants to use the Stone Giants and Dirt Puppets in the ancient tomb to avoid us, huh? Hmph! As expected of the chief military advisor of Black Rose. Have two people stay here and guard the entrance! The others will go with me into the tomb to capture her.”

The group voiced its obedience.

The seven people were clearly not greenhorns. They understood the layout of the ancient tomb very well, and no one recklessly charged forward. Instead, all of them activated their qi realm, and a rather buff man opened the path for them. The others followed behind him.

A total of seven people entered the tomb, and they were all in Blessed Realm. They moved like the wind and did not dawdle around.

The man in charge of opening the path did not budge in the slightest even if he was hit by a Stone Giant, and he did not move until all the people behind him passed him. His body fortification technique was so great that it was equal to Thunderous Battle's.

”Follow the blood trail!” the man who shook the paper fan gently said with an indifferent tone. He moved in the middle of the group while giving everyone reminders in a calm manner. He looked incredibly relaxed.

Soon, the group shook off the Stone Giants and Dirt Puppets and arrived at the first fork.

It was clear that this was the first time the man with the fan had entered Yangzhou City's ancient tomb. He swept his gaze over the fork and frowned when he saw that there were two paths.

”Phantom Jade, take two people with you. If you run into a deadend, immediately turn back. Remember to catch up to us by the marks we leave behind!” he ordered decisively.

”Understood!”

Right after, their team split up into two, and they went their separate paths.

Even though there were plenty of forks in the ancient tomb, the correct path could usually be seen at first glance. Soon, the group led by Phantom Jade caught up to the main group through the marks.

However, they ran into a new fork after that.

Phantom Jade did not comment on the situation. He led his men down one of the paths again.

They had no other choice. Their target was the Black Rose's Chief Military Advisor Red Coral. Not only did she plan all the ambushes, she had also successfully snatched a very important tribute, along with something that originally never belonged to them! This made their leader incredibly vexed, and he spent a lot of money to buy Red Coral's location from a master fortune teller. He wanted to kill Red Coral at all costs, and before she could register what happened, get that item to drop from her.

”Young master, we found someone!”

The group of people soon arrived at the main hall of the ancient tomb. There were whistles as fists were thrown in the air from the distance. There were also hoarse and decisive whistles from a saber, which quickly attracted their attention.

They stopped at the entrance to the main hall, and the man fanning himself quickly cast a glance at the drop of blood not too far in the distance. A small smile appeared on his lips. Red Coral had come through there.

He swept his gaze over the area and saw a fork to the left and right of the main hall.

”Go and ask.”

He closed the paper fan and gave an order to one of the people next to him. Then, he opened the paper fan with a snap and started fanning himself in an elegant manner.

They had chased Red Coral for a long time. There was a high chance that she had removed herself from battle and found a random spot in the ancient tomb to log off. If she managed to hide for a while and requested for someone to come over, then things would become very troublesome.
