Chapter 135 The End of the Passage
Chapter 135 The End of the Passage
"Brother Chao, what's wrong? Is something the problem?"
When Li San and the others saw Wang Chao, they suddenly stopped and stood still as well.
Unlike Zhang Hu and the others, Li San also did not believe the words of the cultivator surnamed Ma. However, growing up in the treacherous environment of the palace had taught him to pretend.
That's why he pretended to agree with the words of the monk surnamed Ma, just like everyone else.
"Hmm? Is something wrong?"
Seeing that the dynasty had stopped, the cultivator surnamed Ma slowly turned around.
The current dynasty increasingly felt that this monk surnamed Ma was somewhat abnormal.
"Huh? No, I was wondering, who built this passageway? To dig such a long passageway inside a tomb, the entire city of Chang'an must be above this tomb, right?"
Wang Chao said, feigning nonchalance.
Sure enough, the cultivator surnamed Ma paused upon hearing this.
He possessed some of the blueprints for the Qin King's tomb, but now, what reason could he possibly have?
"This royal mausoleum was started not long after the Qin King ascended the throne, so it is quite large in scale. It is a huge maze, and we are almost at the mausoleum."
The words of the cultivator surnamed Ma were somewhat ambiguous and seemingly agreeable. Apart from Wang Chao and Li San, the others did not doubt them, as they were single-mindedly focused on completing the mission as soon as possible and then returning.
"This going around in circles, when will it ever end? I feel like I'm just going in circles."
Zhang Hu wasn't that cunning, and he directly voiced his inner doubts.
A cold glint flashed in the corner of the cultivator surnamed Ma's eye.
The group continued forward following the cultivator surnamed Ma. Wang Chao's heart grew increasingly uneasy, for he had already seen twenty-three teams passing beneath the little bees.
Without exception, in every team there was a pale-faced person with no expression whatsoever.
Clearly, this can no longer be explained by coincidence; there must be a huge conspiracy involved.
However, even though they knew something was amiss, the dynasty dared not turn the tables, because that cultivator surnamed Ma was at least at the ninth stage of Qi Refining, and could kill everyone in a single encounter.
Since they weren't killed on the spot, it means that they still have some value to be used.
If you act recklessly now, the consequences may not be good.
Li San probably figured out the key point, which is why he chose to pretend to be a snake.
Now, we can only take it one step at a time. Only by remaining calm can we find a way out of this predicament.
However, Wang Chao always harbored a question in his heart.
Clearly, these expressionless people all belong to the same force, and one thing is certain: they want to take people somewhere, and all they want is for them to live!
"rustle!"
Another group of people passed by, and their attire caught the attention of the dynasty.
Because the leader, that somewhat frivolous young man, was dressed in a black dragon robe, which was somewhat similar to Ying Su's!
Beside him was another face with a stiff expression.
"Your Excellency, is there really an elixir of immortality in my father's mausoleum?"
Ying Hai was very young, not even twenty years old, and his licentious and immoral nature was mostly influenced by the people around him.
To the dynasty's shock, the Qin Empire's Grand Preceptor was actually a member of that faction!
This force is quite terrifying; basically, the entire Qin Dynasty is under its control.
Besides the Northern Region Sword Sect, who else has the ability to control the Great Qin?
King Ying Zheng of Qin possessed this ability, and if Prince Ying Su were to become emperor, he could barely achieve it as well. Apart from these two, it would be difficult for anyone else to command the respect of the people.
Ying Hai was not an option, nor were the Grand Tutor, the Prime Minister, and other high-ranking officials.
However, King Ying Zheng of Qin is already dead, and Prince Ying Su has already joined the Qinghui Sword Sect. It is unlikely that either of them will be here.
If I had to say, it would be that Ying Su secretly controlled a force.
After all, Ying Su was going to cultivate, and it was unlikely that he would hand over the vast Qin Empire to his idiotic younger brother Ying Hai. Therefore, it was not impossible that he would instruct the Grand Preceptor to support a puppet ruler.
But if it really is Ying Su, why would he gather everyone here?
The Imperial Advisor seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked up in the direction of the little bee.
"Zizi!"
The receiving end of the dynasty suddenly displayed a garbled screen, turning into a jumble of random characters.
"Oh!"
The out-of-control little bee in front of Ying Hai suddenly exploded, startling the group of people who were moving forward.
"Escort!"
The crowd did not panic, but instead surrounded Ying Hai and became alert to any movement around them.
It must be said that their composure and discipline in the face of danger still retain the same demeanor as that of King Ying Zheng of Qin.
Wang Chao lost contact with the little bee and grew increasingly agitated. He knew he was in grave danger but had no way to resolve the situation and could only wait for his doom.
This feeling of being at the mercy of others, like a chicken with its neck out, drove Wang Chao, an action-oriented person, somewhat crazy.
"Stay calm, you must stay calm," Wang Chao silently reminded himself. He had to calm his emotions and not lose his composure.
"Boom!"
The passageway began to shake violently, and large amounts of dust fell down, startling everyone.
Wang Chao's gaze sharpened. Had he made a mistake in his judgment?
Wang Chao thought it was a conspiracy and that they would not be in any danger until the final showdown. But now it seems that the tunnel is about to collapse and they may be buried.
"Brother Ma, hurry up and get your boat out! We're about to be buried alive!"
Zhang Hu was rather impatient and didn't think things through. When he saw signs of the tunnel collapsing, he couldn't hold back any longer.
"It's too late! This passageway is about to collapse, everyone, come with me out quickly!"
After speaking, the cultivator surnamed Ma transformed into a ray of light and suddenly shot away.
Having no other choice, everyone rushed out as well! No one knew what lay ahead.
However, everyone knew very well that without the Earth-Traveling Boat of the cultivator surnamed Ma, they would not be able to get out at all!
"boom!"
The passageway behind them had begun to collapse, and without any further hesitation, everyone shot out.
The dynasty moved very quickly and took the lead.
"call out!"
After a leap, Wang Chao felt his feet were suspended in mid-air; clearly, there was no road ahead.
"Swordsmanship!"
Instinctively, Wang Chao instantly took out a low-grade magic weapon flying sword and instinctively used the sword control technique.
This time, the sword control technique didn't fail at the crucial moment, and the dynasty remained steadily suspended in mid-air.
At this moment, Wang Chao, holding a torch and standing on a flying sword, stared in shock at the scene before him.
"Boom!"
The passageway behind them collapsed with a deafening roar, sending up a cloud of dust. Those who had been behind the dynasty emerged covered in dust.
Upon realizing they were suspended in mid-air, they hurriedly used their sword control techniques. Having reached the fifth stage of Qi Refining for a long time, they were naturally very familiar with sword control techniques. After a brief moment of panic, they were able to stop steadily in mid-air.
At this moment, their expressions were also very shocked; the scene before them was too breathtaking.
