Feng Chen and the others listened to the news discussed by everyone in the restaurant and took note of it.
After returning to the inn, the information obtained by Yue Yun Yang and the others were practically the same.
Yue Yun Yang said: “I didn’t expect that so many people would be concerned about the ancient tomb right when we only just received the mission.”
“The news about the ancient tomb has faded a lot now. It must be secretly controlled by the City Lord’s Mansion.” Huo Li Ruo paused, then said: “How about we start to investigate from the City Lord’s Mansion?”
It now seemed that the matter of the ancient tomb wasn’t that simple. So just what was the purpose of his uncle entrusting this mission to the students of the Royal Academy to complete?
Yue Yun Yang thought for a while, then asked: “How do we start from the City Lord’s Mansion? As your crown prince identity of Wen Huo Kingdom?”
Huo Li Ruo raised an eyebrow: “The Young City Lord was poisoned and in a coma. We have two Healing-class Spiritual Plant Masters here, this may be a breakthrough.”
Qing Qiu City existed independently, and his status as the crown prince of Wen Huo Kingdom was of little use.
“Other forces in Qing Qiu City have also been to the ancient tomb, and we can also start from them.” The baby-faced man in the team suggested.
After listening to what the others said, Feng Chen turned his head and looked at Yu Qing Qian, “What do you think?”
Yu Qing Qian thought for a while, then said: “Let’s first explore the authenticity of the ancient tomb. If there really is a problem, it wouldn’t be too late to return to Qing Qiu City and start with the City Lord’s Mansion.”
“Alright, then it’s decided.” Feng Chen nodded and made the decision without any hesitation.
Yu Qing Qian thought the same as him, and the tacit understanding between them was unmatched by others.
After hearing what Yu Qing Qian said, everyone else was stunned. Then they realised that they had fallen into a dead end after hearing the news from the restaurants.
They all thought that since the Young City Lord of Qing Qiu City was poisoned in the ancient tomb, then there must be secrets involved with the ancient tomb. They wanted to investigate the news in the city, but they ignored the ancient tomb itself and their original mission.
No one objected. The group rushed towards the ancient tomb the next day.
Of course, it also privately attracted the attention of many forces in Qing Qiu City. After all, even if the group acted in a low-profile manner, they couldn’t conceal their own outstanding temperament, and was too noticeable.
However, because of the extremely special status of Feng Chen and Huo Li Ruo, no force in Qing Qiu City dared to stop them.
The location of the ancient tomb was in a desolate mountain outside Qing Qiu City. It wasn’t difficult to find.
Right now, close to the ancient tomb, one could see some people forming a small team, guarding the entrance of the tomb to prevent others from entering.
Feng Chen glanced thoughtfully at the partially exposed tomb entrance and walked over with the others.
“Stop. Who are you? You are not allowed to enter here.” Before they could get close to the entrance of the tomb, a group of people immediately drew their swords and warned.
Huo Li Ruo furrowed his brows slightly and said coldly: “And who are you? Does this ancient tomb belong to your family or something? Why aren’t we allowed to enter.”
“This mountain is the territory of our City Lord’s Mansion, so the ancient tomb naturally belongs to our City Lord’s Mansion.”
A leader took a step up and said: “The City Lord has issued an order, any trespassers will be killed without mercy.”
“What a big City Lord’s Mansion, to actually take the ancient tomb as their own private property.” Yue Yun Yang snorted coldly, “What if we must enter? I’ll see who dares to kill us without mercy.”
“There is poisonous fog hidden deep in the ancient tomb, and the City Lord doesn’t allow people to enter for the sake of everyone’s safety.”
The leader noticed that the group were well-dressed and elegant, so they must have come from an extraordinary place. He changed his mind and continued: “Of course, if you want to enter, as long as you get the pass from the City Lord, we will let you in.”
Neither Yu Qing Qian nor Feng Chen spoke, but they tacitly released their mental energy and probed into the entrance of the tomb.
