C677 Shock in the Tomb
C677 Shock in the Tomb
This King Golden Sword was one of the most famous weapons in the Ye Family of Beijing. Starting from the moment the Ye Family took root in the capital, it had fought alongside countless of Ye Family's predecessors. If not for the necessary circumstances, the Ye Family had placed it within the hall, as one of the symbols of the Ye Family.
The King Golden Sword, which had been blood-soaked from battle with countless Ye Family ancestors, had been improving in rank the entire time. But today, the King Golden Sword in Ye Tianyi's hand had already reached the same grade.
Low-grade magic treasure!
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the sword that was continuously emitting gold light. Ye Tianyi stood firmly to the side, and continued to turn his wrist, the sword spun in the air, drawing gold pressure.
In front of the King Golden Sword, all the Artifact Spirit weapons in everyone's hands were overshadowed.
"Hmph."
Although Luo Zhen was very dissatisfied with Ye Tianyi being late, he could only let out a light snort because Ye Tianyi was someone who came from the Ye Family of Beijing.
Ye Tianyi looked at the crowd and asked coldly.
"Since all of you are here, then according to the rules that we made two days ago, Ye Family will lead the way. After obtaining the things inside the tomb, half of the Ye Family will be taken away, and the other half will be distributed amongst you."
Ye Yanyun, Luo Zhen, and Lee Qianchou all nodded after hearing what Ye Tianyi said.
Seeing this scene, even Ye Kai could not help but be surprised.
Ye Family, Lee Family. Although the Luo Family wasn't as strong as the Ye Family, they were still considered a well-known family in the ancient martial arts sects. And these three families had actually made this unfair agreement with the Ye Family before entering the ancient tomb.
On the surface, it looked like Ye Tianyi was talking about Ye Family leading the way to protect the other three families, so it was a waste of time and resources. Although it was normal for people to obtain the most things in the ancient tomb, unlike the battlefield, the ancient tomb was different.
In reality, after entering the gloomy and desolate ancient tomb, who knew whether it was the one walking in front or the one walking behind who was in danger?
The other three families were not idiots. Even if their Ye Family was stronger than them, they would not compromise so easily. This kind of agreement, that was no different from an Overlord treaty, they actually agreed to it. This made Ye Kai feel a little surprised.
Thinking about how Chu Tianyang had been kidnapped, Ye Kai could only guess that the Ye Family had used some other method to force them to submit, forcing them to sign on black and white to agree to the actions of the Ye Family's bandit.
From the looks of it, his Ye Family position in the capital had probably already reached the realm of being able to cover the sky with one hand.
Seeing that everyone nodded in response, Ye Tianyi nodded his head lightly.
"Alright, since everyone has already made their decision, there's no time to lose, we will enter the ancient tomb now."
After classifying Ye Kai as a member of one of the three families, Ye Tianyi, with the King Golden Sword in his hand, confidently entered the ancient tomb, while the other three families led a few elite disciples to follow behind. Ye Kai waited until everyone had entered, then slowly paced back and forth, walking towards the entrance of the tomb that Chu Tianyang had discovered.
It was different from the ancient tombs in movies and TV dramas. In reality, the ancient tombs had existed for thousands of years or even just a few decades. They all exuded an uncomfortable and eerie aura.
Walking towards the entrance of the ancient tomb, one would see an unfathomably deep, spiral limestone staircase. After a long time, the green vines had covered the bluestone stairs that no one cared about, and the sound of creaking could be heard as cloth shoes were stepped on them. From time to time, spiders, mice, and other yin loving creatures would appear on the steps, and then quickly disappear into the crevices in the walls of green Stone Wall, or holes in the stairs.
The faint footsteps of dozens of people echoed in the long entrance. The further they went, the colder the temperature of the ancient tomb became until finally, Ye Yanyun unconsciously hugged her arm and said while trembling.
"Damn it, I'm going to freeze to death."
"I think the temperature will continue to drop. I advise Miss Ye to get lucky to keep warm right now." Lee Qianchou said.
"Hmph." Ye Yanyun let out a cold snort filled with disdain.
Ye Kai was at the back of the line, looking at the green stone walls around him, as though he was observing something.
He raised his hand and used his fingers to caress the ice Stone Wall that was returning to the city. The Spiritual Strength's senses were the largest, but Ye Kai could actually see that threads of spirit energy were constantly being emitted from the gaps between the Stone Wall.
Withdrawing his hand, Ye Kai slightly raised his eyebrows and laughed.
"It really is quite famous. No wonder the Ye Family do everything they can to seal off the news."
The dense spiritual energy within the tomb indicated that it had been modified by a magician's hand. Wanting to reach the end of the tomb was probably much more difficult than the ancient martial arts families in the capital imagined.
This somewhat terrifying journey lasted a full five to six minutes. Everyone walked along the mountainside entrance, stepping on the bluestone staircase, all the way to the bottom of the stairs.
What was somewhat unexpected was that at the bottom of the spiral stone steps, there was not a new stone door, but rather a huge circular underground plaza.
"Wow, it's completely different from what I saw in the TV series."
Hearing Ye Yanyun's words, everyone had a face full of black lines.
"The more important the ancient tomb, the more complex and diverse the design becomes. Each ancient tomb has a myriad of shapes, almost no ancient tomb with the exact same structure."
Lee Qianchou looked around the round plaza that was about 100 square meters, and said slowly.
The tall Stone Wall sealed up the entire plaza from the edges. Above the Stone Wall, about twenty semi-circular entrances surrounded the plaza.
"These are all entrances?"
Lee Qianchou walked to the vicinity of a pit and looked inside. Other than a pitch black patch that completely covered his vision, Lee Qianchou could not see anything else.
"It could be a trap."
"Let me try."
Luo Zhen's fingers were like blades as they shot out a stream of mana and energy towards a dark entrance. It was shot inwards, but no sound of any energy hitting the wall could be heard.
Slightly stunned, Luo Zhen waved his hands, shooting out a ray of mana energy towards the twenty entrances at the same time.
Lee Qianchou's face became gloomy, he never expected that on this trip to the ancient tomb, he would have encountered such difficulties from the very beginning.
"What do we do now?"
The impatient Luo Zhen immediately asked.
"Separate."
Ye Tianyi said in a cold voice, as he completely forgot about the agreement of having the Ye Family take the lead at the start.
"20 entrances. We have 4 sects. We can find the real entrances at most 5 visits."
Hearing Lee Qianchou say that, although everyone felt that it was a little helpless, they still nodded.
Dozens of people immediately separated according to their respective sects, walking towards the four entrances.
Only Ye Kai stood alone, in the center of the plaza, not moving at all. After everyone had entered the entrance, he expanded his Spiritual Strength's exploration to the entire tomb.
"So that's how it is."
Ye Kai slightly smiled, and actually sat on the ground.
Ten minutes later, the four families who had entered the entrance walked out from the original entrance.
Everyone looked at each other with dumbfounded expressions.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know …"
"Tsk, if we change the entrance, we'll definitely find the real exit."
Luo Zhen immediately frowned and clamored, and everyone immediately followed, choosing the other four entrances. After about ten minutes, they walked out from the cave.
"Damn it, keep looking!" I won't believe it! "
"..."
After everyone had walked through all twenty entrances and returned to their original places, Luo Zhen finally could not hold it in anymore and started shouting curses.
"F * ck, what the hell is going on?"
He swung out a stream of mana and energy, heavily smashing onto the Stone Wall.
"Bam!"
Then, something happened.
The bluestone staircase that they had passed through suddenly shattered with a 'ka da' sound.
"The exit is gone!"
Immediately, someone screamed in terror.
A Stone Wall descended from the twenty entrances at the same time, locking the four families up like a birdcage.
Everyone saw a gigantic black Magic Formation rising from the sky above the plaza. From there, countless foul-smelling corrosive venom rained down onto everyone's heads!
