Chapter 170: He Wouldn’t Dare Not Give
Yu Qing Qian’s mental energy penetrated from the entrance of the ancient tomb and went deeper into it bit by bit.
After a moment, her mental energy was blocked by an inexplicable force and she could no longer go deeper, so she immediately retrieved it.
At the same time, Feng Chen also retrieved his mental energy.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the surprise in the other’s eyes.
“Let’s return to Qing Qiu City first.” Feng Chen said calmly while looking at the others.
Yue Yun Yang and the others looked at Feng Chen inexplicably, but they didn’t object. Since he said this, then he must have his reasons.
After leaving the barren mountain, Huo Li Ruo walked up to Yu Qing Qian and asked: “Did you find out anything?”
He discovered earlier that Yu Qing Qian and Feng Chen’s mental energy had fluctuated.
“There are indeed many mechanisms in the ancient tomb. After breaking through the ones at the front, there’s a layer of poisonous mist blocking it. There’s also a lot of blood on the ground. Many people must’ve died before, which means that the person who led the team just now didn’t completely lie.” Yu Qing Qian didn’t hide it either.
Huo Li Ruo rubbed his chin thoughtfully, “Then the Lord of Qing Qiu City asked people to guard outside the ancient tomb really for the safety of others?”
“This should just be one-sided. The more dangers appearing in the ancient tomb, it may mean that there are really some treasures.” Yu Qing Qian paused, then said: “Of course, it may just be a trap set by the previous owner of the tomb.”
After Yue Yun Yang heard what Yu Qing Qian said, he turned to look at Feng Chen and asked: “Boss, what should we do now? Should we go to the City Lord’s Mansion to inquire?”
“Let’s first go get the pass to enter the ancient tomb.” Feng Chen replied calmly.
“If we go and ask for a pass like this, would the Lord of Qing Qiu City give it to us?” Yue Yun Yang was very uncertain.
The reason why Qing Qiu City was an independent city wasn’t only because the Lord of Qing Qiu City was powerful, but it was also closely connected with the Chi Clan as backing, one of the Seven Great Clans, so all Three Great Empires were afraid.
“He wouldn’t dare not give.” Feng Chen’s tone was cold and indifferent, but full of domineering.
Yue Yun Yang didn’t ask anymore questions. He had been teaming up with Feng Chen for so long and he seemed to have never seen anything that the other party couldn’t accomplish.
Huo Li Ruo asked in surprise: “You want to reveal your identity and ask for a pass?”
Feng Chen glanced at him faintly, “Why not?”
Huo Li Ruo choked, then suddenly felt some understanding.
True. If Feng Chen used his identity as the crown prince of Feng Li Kingdom to ask for the issuing of a pass from the Lord of Qing Qiu City, that old fellow probably wouldn’t dare trouble them—at the very least, he wouldn’t on the surface, but who knew how they’d act privately.
The group returned to Qing Qiu City but didn’t immediately go to the City Lord’s Mansion. Yue Yun Yang and the others went to obtain information from other forces, making two preparations.
After all, the ancient tomb was now controlled by the people from Qing Qiu City Lord’s Mansion and other forces couldn’t enter. There were hidden conflicts, and they could take advantage of that.
Two days later, the people who had scattered returned one after another to summarise the information.
“Boss, the news we got was that after the ancient tomb appeared, the City Lord’s Mansion and three major forces in the city went to explore it.”
Yue Yun Yang continued: “But after entering the ancient tomb, many people died. No one could break the poisonous fog barrier behind the mechanisms. The Young Lord of the City Lord’s Mansion was indeed accidentally infected with the poison at the time.”
“Have they given up on the ancient tomb?” Feng Chen asked.
“We’ve already checked out the three major forces in the city and their top leaders have indeed given up.”
Yue Yun Yang paused, then said: “It’s said that someone found out that this ancient tomb was built by a powerhouse who was chased by the enemy and fell into trouble in Qing Qiu City thousands of years ago. The powerhouse acted ruthlessly and viciously, so the superiors of the city believe that the tomb may be a trap for him to seek revenge on his enemies.”
