Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 190: If you see injustice, you will be killed.
"Li Zhi, there's no need to look around. We have strayed from the original path." In another passage just separated by a wall from Tang Zheng and the others, Lu Wantang's calm voice fell into the ears of Li Zhi and Xu Feng.
Of course, although it was said to be separated by a wall, in reality even with Tang Zheng's hearing ability, he could not hear anyone talking behind the wall.
Li Zhi looked impatient, turning around and talking to himself: "But, but... we have a route map provided by Lady Daduo, how... how did we get lost?"
Lu Wantang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Who provided the route map you just mentioned?"
Li Zhi's face suddenly darkened, and after rolling his eyes several times, he quickly changed his words and said, "Great... Great Captain, that's how I call you City Lord... Yeah, that's it."
"Captain?" Lu Wantang frowned. "Your name is really strange."
Seeing that Lu Wantang didn't pursue the matter further, Li Zhi let out a breath.
Xu Feng was already a little impatient with Li Zhi's constant anxiousness. If Lu Wantang hadn't been concentrating on studying the route, with his keen eyesight, he would have noticed that something was wrong with Li Zhi long ago.
Xu Feng stretched out his hand and pressed down, signaling Li Zhi to be more careful and not to jump around like an idiot.
Li Zhi shrank his neck and squatted in the corner.
Lan Shaoze behind him was still standing straight, with a blank face, which made Xu Feng feel comfortable at this moment.
"Unlike Li Zhi, this guy named Lan Shaoze... must have been a great figure when he was alive." Xu Feng sighed silently in his heart.
The bright light of the stars illuminated the road map in front of Lu Wantang clearly.
This route map is very detailed, with a reference mark almost every half a finger's length, which means that the person who made this map has a very good understanding of the situation inside the mausoleum.
"There were no problems before, and we passed through the Underworld Palace smoothly, but..." Lu Wantang frowned, "It's obvious that someone changed the route after leaving the Underworld Palace!"
"Who could change Leng Xiangyuan's grave site?" Xu Feng asked subconsciously.
"No." Lu Wantang threw the blueprint to Li Zhi. "Since I entered the Underworld Palace, I have always wanted to ask, what exactly is this place?"
All the hair on Li Zhi's body stood up.
Xu Feng quickly stopped him and glared at him, then asked, "Did the young city lord discover anything?"
"Everything I can see is wrong!" Lu Wantang looked at the wall, as if he wanted to take another look at the underworld palace behind it. "Whether it's the tomb-building habits or the jade, patterns, and furnishings, they are at least the same style as they were two thousand years before Leng Xianyuan was born!"
"..." Xu Feng widened his eyes, "How is this possible?"
"I can't say for sure, but maybe it wasn't someone who altered Leng Xiangyuan's tomb, but maybe Leng Xiangyuan altered someone else's tomb?" Except for the fact that Lu Wantang had no experience in the game, he came to almost the same conclusion as Tang Zheng.
"Then...what should we do now?" There was a deviation in the route map, and Li Zhi was really a little panicked. "Return the same way? It seems that we can't go back."
"Now that we're here, there's no reason to go back the same way." Lu Wantang raised his head and knocked on the wall again and again. "Even if someone changed the structure of the cemetery, they wouldn't leave us a dead end like this..."
Li Zhi couldn't listen to Lu Wantang's words anymore. He kept muttering, "It's all Chen Haoyuan's fault! If he hadn't insisted on helping that female stone sculpture, we would have come out long ago. This guy is also following the young city lord. He is simply insane."
Xu Feng's eyes flickered and he waved his hand: "He is already dead."
Li Zhi then stopped talking.
At this moment, Lu Wantang turned around and said, "Come on, two people, move this stone!"
…
"You said your name is Chen Haoyuan? Were you framed by Xu Feng?"
Tang Zheng and his group of people were sitting in the stone chamber, all of them with dazed looks on their faces.
When Tang Zheng saw the face of the man that Jiang Wuyan brought out, he was also stunned for a moment, because he had always thought that Li Zhi and the others were much ahead of them. However, this man was clearly a follower of Lu Wantang. How could he appear here covered in blood?
“Don’t worry about me, stop them, you must stop them!” Chen Haoyuan knew that he didn’t have long to live, and he almost shouted, “I saw… on the back of their route map… a very faint, very faint line that seemed to outline a emerald bird…”
"Take your time to talk." Tang Zheng reached out and straightened him up. "Aren't you here to rob Leng Xianyuan's tomb?"
"Yes! Yes! Because in Leng Xiangyuan's tomb, there is the 'Split Essence' he left behind! Our city lord has already reached the peak of the five-star level, and he is confident that he can break through to the six-star level, but he has no confidence after the six-star level, so... he needs to use the power of the 'Split Essence' to impact the seven-star level, but... but..."
“But you only know now that it was the demon clan that provided them with the map of Leng Xiangyuan’s tomb!” Leng Zhan clenched his fists.
"Yes, I was discovered by Xu Feng! He found out that I knew the truth and left a star power restriction on me. I entered the wolf pack without knowing it, and then I found that I couldn't use the star power... I..."
There is no way a person who can use star power could be injured so badly.
However, he was framed, so it was Game Over.
"Your name is Tang Zheng, right? That's great... It's great that you are here..." Chen Haoyuan almost rushed to say every word. After saying everything he knew, he could no longer hold on and tilted his head to one side.
There was silence in the stone chamber.
The joints of the cold war were already clenched to the point of crackling.
I originally thought that Lu Wantang and his men coming to rob Leng Xiangyuan's tomb was already something very difficult to accept, but now it seems that it is even more than that!
What they got was the help from the demon tribe!
The Changyuan Leng family, a family of “loyal people for generations”, actually had an affair with the demon clan!
On the one hand, they entered Leng Xiangyuan's tomb to obtain the "Spider-Essence" for themselves, but on the other hand, the demon clan would not have no demands at all, right?
Before entering the mausoleum, they never imagined that the situation would be so complicated.
"The demon race should not be able to enter Leng Xianyuan's tomb by themselves. They must rely on these scums." Leng Zhan walked back and forth in the stone chamber. "But, what is in Leng Xianyuan's tomb that they want?"
Although he is very angry now, as the direct descendant of the Leng family, now is not the time for him to be angry.
Grave robbing, tomb robbing...
What's the point of tomb robbing?
Of course it’s something or several things in the tomb!
However, they did not find out from the beginning what the other party wanted!
"It's my fault." Leng Zhan trusted the Leng family's loyalty for generations too much. In fact, he had always been on the sidelines regarding the idea of tomb robbery.
If he didn't trust Lu Tianji and the others so much...
Maybe the current situation will not be so passive at all!
However, if he really had so many suspicions, then he wouldn't be in a cold war.
"I have good news. Do you want to hear it?" Tang Zheng saw Leng Zhan's deep expression and was afraid that his worldview would collapse. He immediately said, "Actually, it's not that bad for us now."
"Oh?" The eyes of others immediately focused on him.
"This Chen Haoyuan's appearance here means... Li Zhi and his team have been delayed in the passage of the Hades Palace for a long time, and their progress is not much ahead of us. In other words, we are likely to reach Senior Leng Xiangyuan's main tomb earlier than them!"
Tang Zheng said this while pointing at the door with a smile.
Tang Xiaotang nodded sharply: "Then don't waste time here, let's go!"
Jiang Wuyan gestured to wait and quickly caught up to the corner of the wall.
Chen Haoyuan, who was leaning against the wall, was already dying. He raised his head with difficulty and saw Jiang Wuyan's handsome face.
Jiang Wuyan whispered a few words to him, but Tang Xiaotang and the others didn't quite understand.
Afterwards, Chen Haoyuan nodded and took out a piece of letter from his clothes with his blood-stained hands. However, he only had time to utter the word "rain" before he collapsed.
Jiang Wuyan reached out and pushed him, but when there was no response, he squatted down and gently closed Chen Haoyuan's eyes.
He folded and put away the bloodstained note neatly, then quickened his pace to catch up with Tang Zheng and the others: "It's okay, let's go."
