Chapter 1350: Entering the Tomb Again

Chapter 1349 – Entering the Tomb Again

“If I complete this mission that the hidden house Yu gave me, they’ll help me acquire permission from the council, and I’ll be able to come and join the common noble house meeting!” Elder Yu said. “But not this time.”

“That... That works too!” Shuxing nodded. “What if- maybe you could secretly kill that Lin Yi this time? This is someone who killed my third brother!”

“We’ll see. If this mission is successful, and if I have time, I’ll go to Songshan and look for Lin Yi- if I can find him, I’ll kill him, but if there’s no time, we’ll have to wait for next time.”

“I see- that’s all we can do then, big brother. I’ll let you get back to work.” Shuixing said.

After hanging up, Elder Yu frowned, a deep hatred for Lin Yi. That damn bastard, he’d have his head one day for sure! However, the current biggest problem for him right now was that Mystic thief! This was someone who gave him a lot of trouble. Since when did common world thieves become this powerful? This was too much.

Inside the tent, Lin Yi went into a cross-legged seated position before using all his time to heal. Lingshan and Yutian looked at each other- they had a lot of questions, but they knew this wasn’t a good time. They chose silence and protected Lin Yi from both sides.

Tonight was the most dangerous night for Lin Yi- he had been guarding them before, but tonight it was their turn.

He may have rushed into the jade space to heal quickly, but it wasn’t the type where he fainted and got forced into space. He could still sense what was happening outside, and he felt warm when he saw that LIngshan and Yutian were protecting him like that.

Time flew by, and the second morning Lin Yi didn’t wake up as early as he used to but opened his eyes much later instead. Lingshan and Yutian, on the other hand, had stayed by his side the whole night. Fortunately for them, they were people who were used to pulling all-nighters, and they were Golden class practitioners, as well. It wasn’t too much for them.

Outside the tent came the sounds of other people waking up, but nobody came to Lin Yi’s tent to get him. He’d already shocked everyone yesterday with his performance, and Old Hei wouldn’t be dumb enough to ask someone to go wake him.

Plus, Mister Yu didn’t appear yet anyway, what was the point of getting Lin Yi first?

It was past ten when Lin Yi walked out of the tent, already fully energized. One couldn’t tell that he’d been injured the night before. Elder Yu came late as well, and though he was considered a practitioning genius, the qi here was much less condensed even if they were in the mountains.

And so, his hand was still bandaged.

‘Can we go now?” Elder Yu said faintly.

“Let’s go,” Lin Yi said before walking to the location yesterday.

Old Hei, James, and Xiaoke too the machinery to go down, but Lin Yi, Lingshan, and Yutian all jumped down directly with Elder Yu, coming to the entrance.

Elder Yu’s eyes tightened slightly as he saw Lingshan and Yutian jump down with them. He didn’t expect that these two would be Golden class late phase peak as well! This group of thieves was strong, indeed.

Elder Yu had entered into the hidden House Yu from the common world, and he knew just how rare a Golden class already was. Even with that Mister Qiu, who was a golden class, it was already an uncommon sight- yet all three of these were practitioners!

No wonder they came grave robbing with such small numbers, not worried about others going against them- they were practitioners! That man, especially, was a porcupine that you couldn’t touch- your hand would be completely bloodied if you did!

“Not bad, kid- your people are practitioners as well, Golden class late phase peak, too- just one step away from Mystic!” Elder Yu said faintly.

“Thank you.” Lin Yi only replied with a smile.

Old Hei and James and Xiaoke came down on the machinery, but both Old Hei and James didn’t bring any men this time. They were well aware that they were nothing in the eyes of Elder Yu- and even in Lin Yi’s eyes, they were like watermelon. He could just slice them up.

And so, Old Hei didn’t even ask the backup he called- since he knew that he wouldn’t be able to fight with Elder Yu.

This time, the searchlight worked without a hitch. The problem it had yesterday must’ve been because Old Hao did something to it since he was the only one with access.

Everyone reached the entrance and walked the correct path this time.

The entrance had been forced open with explosives, after all, and evidently done by the graverobbers before. As for the other entrances... They didn’t know about it just yet.

“We’re here!” Old Hei said as he looked at the blasted entrance, happy. “There was a rock blocking this way here; evidently the guy used a rock to block it after finding the entrance because there was something wrong with it. The real entrance is here!”

Everyone looked at where the light was shining- there was a wheel, similar to the code wheel on bank saves. There were also signs of it being blasted before, probably done by those thieves from before. Evidently, it was made of strong material that wouldn’t be destroyed with normal explosives, but then they wouldn’t risk explosives that were too powerful, lest and landslides or anything came down and ruined the door, burying everyone in here.

“This is the stone door- I looked into many details, and I know some of the methods to open it, but I haven’t tried yet.” Old Hei said humbly. Although, him saying this meant that he had some level of guarantee since the first one was easier.

“Then what are you waiting for,” Elder Yu said impatiently.

He didn’t dare order Lin Yi around too much, but this small little thief was no concern at all.
