“Friends, please join us in opening this tomb.” Caesar looked at Ming Xi and the others as he cupped his hand in greeting.

“Please.” Ming Xi softly said.

The three men, Ming Xi, LeWuji, and Caesar, each pressed their respective keys into the grooves beside the gate.

The originally immovable gate shook violently before creaking horrendously.
A full torturous five minutes later a deep corridor finally appeared beyond the gates.
Dazzling white light shown from luminescent pearls hanging from the walls.
They illuminated the palace and made it feel like the middle of the day.

“It’s finally all the way open! It’s open! Everyone inside!”

That one eager shout of excitement was like a switch.
A bunch of adventurers and smaller families rushed in to be the first.
This was good for the major families; the more that rushed in, the better as cannon fodder.

“Xiao Cheng, let’s go in.
Look how many have already rushed out in front of us.” Yifu looked anxiously at the gates that people were flooding through.

Jasmine was anxious too, but she kept it under control when she saw how many major families were there.

“Don’t worry.
Let’s wait for a bit.” Zi Cheng spoke gently and smiled benignly.
It was like the tomb held no allure for her whatsoever.

Yifu stopped urging her and waited obediently.

The major families didn’t move until those in front had nearly all cleared out.
Once the major families entered, Zi Cheng and Caesar’s group slowly and leisurely walked through the gates.

They were followed by LeWuji’s group.

Feng Wu and Ming Xi walked slowly down the corridor.
The length felt never ending.
Even those who had walked ahead had not reached the end.

Ai Lin, Zo, and Eliza were walking together as a group.
Both Zo and Eliza had extraordinary identities so they had bodyguards around them for protection.
Neither Ai Lin nor Zo could convince Eliza not to go exploring the tomb.

The expedition inside the Sea emperor’s tomb would be incredibly dangerous as the Sea emperor was an unfriendly god.
Ai Lin knew there were endless hidden dangers, so unless she wanted to die, she had to be careful.

She knew, from having read the book, that Zi Cheng overcame many dangerous situations, with the Sea emperor’s tomb being one of the most dangerous.

Ai Lin and Zo had formed an alliance against Zi Cheng three days ago.
She told Zo about all the dangers inside the tomb, and in exchange Zo told her how Zi Cheng’s selfishness shattered the world one hundred years later.

Ai Lin didn’t know Zi Cheng’s possession of the five elemental hearts would destroy the world.
Didn’t Zi Cheng know what she was doing? It was impossible for not to know.
Her favorability system would have surely told her.
But despite knowing, she still took all the hearts didn’t she?

The heroine was indeed a truly selfish and heartless person.
She had already become a god by then, so things like the five elemental hearts were useless to her.
She only took them so she could sell them to her system for more points.

Zo knew about the favorability system from Ai Lin.
He understood why all of Zi Cheng’s friends, no matter what scumbags they were, were all willing to live and die for her, never hesitating to betray anyone and anything for her.

He had wondered if his brother had been controlled by her ability; now he was certain of it.

Ai Lin was happy to share everything she knew about Zi Cheng, but despite the alliance, she was unwilling to share the details of her own personal advantages with Zo.

Zo wasn’t the kind of person to ask a person’s secrets.
As long as both parties had the same purpose and the other party didn’t become hostile, he wouldn’t pry.

Ai Lin wondered if Zo also had any unnatural advantages, but she didn’t ask.
She hadn’t told him hers, so she wasn’t going to ask him his.

They had agreed Zo would use the heart of water after they found it.
Zo wanted the heart but he only wanted to use it to change his body.
He would return it immediately afterwards, unlike Zi Cheng, who didn’t care if she destroyed the world by keeping it.

Zi Cheng had no clue the two of them had teamed up against her, however these things had nothing to do with Feng Wu.
She held her short sword in one hand and Ming Xi’s hand in the other.
Ming Xi, Feng Wu, Margaret, and Matheson continued following the crowd in front of them.

They didn’t encounter any danger.

The only trouble was the overly long corridor.
Half an hour later and it still showed no signs of terminating.
How much longer would it go on for?

“How long is the hall going to go on for?!” complained a man up ahead.

“How is anyone going to know? Just keep walking.” The man next to him tried to ease his companion’s anxiety.

“Where does this even lead to? It doesn’t feel like there’s an ending.”

Others were also complaining, but no matter what they said, the corridor ahead kept continuing.

They walked on for another two hours.
None of the thousands of people up ahead had yet made it out.
The longer they walked, the more anxious people became.

357: Yabo’s Vengeance

What is going on? Why can't I get out?

Is this an illusion?

Questions, of one type of another, appeared in their minds.
But no one had an answer. . . 

Feng Wu obediently followed Ming Xi as she turned a deaf ear to the complaints around her.
She had been following him without a word the entire time.

Margaret and Matheson’s feelings were completely different.
They’d been feeling suffocated for a long time.
It was so boring; they wanted to vent!

Ming Xi knew something was wrong.
He wasn’t an irritable person and yet he was feeling irritable.
He had been able to forcefully adjust his mental state, but those around him didn’t have the same concentration abilities.

They could only feel the continued futility mount in their hearts.

“Can’t you go any faster?!”

“Huh?! Where the hell do you want me to hurry to?!”

“What?! How dare you talk to me that way?! I guess you don’t want to live!”

“Huh! I think you’re the one who doesn’t want to live!”

“Oh hoho! You are looking for death! Draw your sword!”

“I’m not afraid of you! Eat my blade!”

Such a trivial matter was worth fighting to the death over?

Ridiculous scenes like this began multiplying.
It didn’t matter who, whether it was an adventurer traveling solo, or the children of families, every one of them were wearing hostility on their faces.

It was such a small matter, but it somehow turned into a life and death situation.

Zi Cheng covertly took an emotion balancing pill that she recently exchanged from her system into her mouth, while not too far away, Yifu and Jasmine were engaged in an argument with another adventurer.

Magic spells flashed and sword blades clashed everywhere down the length of the corridor.

“Everyone, be careful.
There’s something not right with this place!” Ming Xi bit his tongue to stay alert.
He looked over to see how Feng Wu was doing.
Her eyes were clear and she had her normal blank expression.
It didn’t look like the place had any effect on her.

Margaret and Matheson, on the other hand, did not look well.
There were clearly angry over something, but unlike the others in the corridor, they didn’t look like they were going to act violent any time soon.

It didn’t look like they could hold on for long though.
Ming Xi wanted to take everyone away from the crowd, but unfortunately, he missed his chance to withdraw.

Those to the side of them were about to attack.

“Go to hell!”

Someone yelled just before lunging forward to stab Feng Wu in the heart.

Feng Wu had been calm and unaffected the entire time, so it was easy for her to feel the murderous intention from behind her.
She easily sidestepped and halted the sword between two fingers.

Doubt flashed in her eyes when she saw that the person looked familiar.

“Who are you? And why do you want to kill me?”

“What a dumb question! Because of your interference, we lost the key to the god’s tomb in the battlegrounds.
It was your fault my Yiduo clan suffered.
I have to kill you to avenge those that died!”

The furious man was Yabo of the Yiduo clan.[notes] He had been one of the first people to learn about the god’s tomb in the battlegrounds, but he was caught by the Inferno mercenary group[notes] and loss the key before he could pass it on to the clan.
They lost a significant advantage because of it!

He didn’t think about how dangerous the tomb was, that even if Feng Wu’s group hadn’t interfered, it was unlikely he and his group would have gotten anything good from it.

Yabo stared hatefully at Feng Wu but didn’t engage Ming Xi.
The reason of course was simple.
Ming Xi had a mysterious aura so it would be difficult to provoke him, On the other hand, Feng Wu looked easy to bully.
Yabo was weak, so Feng Wu made for a better first target.
He intended to work his way up, kill the weak first, then target the strong.

Even Zi Cheng and Ai Lin were on his hit list.
The girls didn’t know both the Lianye and Yiduo clan had spotted them the moment they approached the tomb.
The two families had worked it out already.
They would separate the kids one by one, break them up.
If they couldn’t kill the blond-haired boy, then they would kill his friends, and hurt his feelings.
Who knows? If they were lucky, one of the girls could even be his sweetheart.

It’s a shame they would be disappointed.

Ming Xi sent Yabo flying with a hard kick to the stomach.

“You only dare target girls.
Despicable!” Ming Xi had a smile on his face, but his voice was cold enough to freeze bone.

“Everyone! Don't be complacent.
Come out! Let’s all work together!” Yabo yelled.
Yabo gave up on a sneak attack and switched to a full frontal one.

Margaret and Matheson: What does this have to do with us?

They were unlucky and were guilty by association.
Now they were also targeted by Yabo’s group.

Yabo’s yell brought out thirty sword masters in sword master uniform.
They were all thugs Yabo had recruited.
He had had to hire them out of his own pocket because the person leading the expedition for the Yiduo clan was the second elder.
And the second elder was not one to use family resources for personnel vendettas.

Yabo had to get revenge on his own.
He had spent a lot of money, but it would be worth it to kill Ming Xi and his group.
The crushing defeat in his heart would finally be erased.
If he could vent his anger, then the money spent was worth it.

His original plan didn’t involve killing all of them immediately, but since things had devolved the way they had, he didn’t mind accelerating things.
He would just kill all of them in one swoop!

“Kill them!” A group of bloodthirsty men rushed at Ming Xi’s group.

Feng Wu drew her sword and easily blocked an attack to her chest.
She kicked the man so hard he flew into the person behind him and made that guy puke up his dinner from the night before.
