Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 2713 2711-Zhang Liju Didn't Die?

"That's the last possibility ..." Lin Yi paused here, a strange look on his face,""Zhang Liju ... He's not dead!"

"What!" Boss Bai was quite shocked by Lin Yi's words-he looked at Lin Yi in disbelief,"He didn't die? How many years had it been? how could he not be dead? Even a Sky Class late phase peak would be dead by now, right?"

Sky Class late phase peak could theoretically extend their lives indefinitely, but that was only in theory-it was limited by the amount of natural treasures and Qi they had. It was already amazing to be able to live for two to three hundred years, and it was rare to see someone live for four to five hundred years!

Most unaffiliated cultivators without resources could only live to a hundred years old.

"He ... What if he's a heavenly path expert?" Lin Yi didn't really believe in the existence of heavenly path Masters before, thinking that it was just a legend. After hearing the fire lion's words and seeing it for himself, Lin Yi knew that heavenly path Masters really did exist.

Boss Bai sucked in a cold breath. "You're saying that Zhang Liju's Grandmaster isn't dead, and this tomb is fake to confuse people?"

"I'm not sure if it's meant to confuse people or not. I don't know the specific reason either. I'm just making a conjecture." Lin Yi said.

Boss Bai nodded slowly. Lin Yi's prediction was very likely. Thinking up to this point, boss Bai asked curiously,"If the person in the tomb is Zhang Liju's grandfather, then why did he kidnap Yu Xiaoke to scare us?"

"I don't know, maybe he wasn't the one who took Yu Xiaoke." Lin Yi shook his head,"maybe old master Zhang Liju wasn't here for a long time. Otherwise, our first tomb raid wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Besides, Skybolt pig has been living on his own all these years ... Eh?"

Lin Yi suddenly thought of Skybolt pig and quickly kicked the little guy,"I say, little thing, is Zhang Liju dead or not?"

"Ji Ji ..." The pig whined and pointed to the ground with its paw, indicating that the stone room's floor was too hard for it to write.

Lin Yi was just about to tell it not to write, just to draw words on the ground when the coffin suddenly disappeared!

The stone coffin ... Had disappeared into thin air! It was gone in front of Lin Yi and boss Bai! The place where the stone coffin was originally placed had become flat ground!

"F * ck!" Lin Yi would've peed his pants if he wasn't that brave. The coffin was gone? And it disappeared without a sound or warning?

Although Lin Yi's eyes were on Skybolt pig, he saw the coffin from the corner of his eyes. No one moved the coffin, and it disappeared into the ground just like that. It was like the ginseng fruit in Journey to the West, it was gone!

Boss Bai was an old man, and he was once the five-elements sect's sect leader, but even he felt out of breath. If Lin Yi didn't cure his old illness, he would've died of a heart attack already.

"Yi ... This place, it's too weird ..." Boss Bai said after taking a deep breath.

"But I can't leave before I find you Xiaoke. How about this, Mr. Bai, let Skybolt pig take you out of here first?" Lin Yi suggested after some thought. After all, boss Bai was here with him, and he didn't have any relationship with you Xiaoke. There was no need to wait here, so Lin Yi let him go first.

"How can I do that?" Boss Bai, however, shook his head."I'm your teacher. How can I leave you behind at a time like this?" It's fine, I'll stay here!"

"Alright," he said. Lin Yi didn't insist, and started checking the ground where the sarcophagus used to be ...

After calming down, Lin Yi thought of some important questions. The most important thing was that even if a Sky Class master came here and took Yu Xiaoke, why didn't Lin Yi's Jade give him a warning?

Yu Xiaoke was one of the members of Lin Yi's current team, and the Jade would alert anyone in the team if they were in danger. Now that Yu Xiaoke disappeared, the Jade didn't alert anyone. Did that mean that Yu Xiaoke wasn't in danger?

Or perhaps, Yu Xiaoke wasn't captured, but left on her own? This was the only explanation that could work. Otherwise, why did the jade pendant not react at all?

After calming down, Lin Yi started to observe carefully. The ground here didn't look any different from the ground around it, but the more Lin Yi looked at it, the weirder it was. If there was a sarcophagus here, then there should be less dust on the ground here than anywhere else.

There should have been an outline of a stone coffin here, but there was no one here. This meant that dust often fell here.

In other words, it was as if the coffin had never been placed here. This stone chamber was more like an empty tomb!

However, just as Lin Yi was looking for it, a coffin suddenly appeared out of nowhere! It just appeared in front of Lin Yi and boss Bai out of thin air, and on top of the coffin stood a person-it was the missing Yu Xiaoke!

No matter how strong Lin Yi's endurance was, he was still in shock. But Yu Xiaoke finally came back, which made Lin Yi breathe in relief,""Xiaoke, you're finally back. Just now, you ..."

"Male thief, I've found a trap, a big secret about the ancient tomb!" Yu Xiaoke's face was filled with excitement,"The ancient tomb we are in is only the first floor. There are more buildings below this floor!"

"What? You mean, you went to the lower level of the tomb just now?" Lin Yi's eyes went wide as he looked at Yu Xiaoke in disbelief!

What Lin Yi didn't expect was that there was a whole other world under the tomb! He didn't even think about it before, let alone Lin Yi, but this secret was discovered by Yu Xiaoke!

"Yes, this coffin isn't actually a coffin. It's an elevator. Through this elevator, you can go to the lower floor." "Of course, I'm just giving an example," Xiaoke said,"this thing probably doesn't use electricity."

"In other words, this thing is a mechanism similar to a teleportation ladder, right?" Boss Bai was surprised as well, looking at Yu Xiaoke in admiration,""How did you find out?"

"You guys read the words on the wall, I have nothing to do. I want to see if there's anything valuable in the tomb to bring back ..." You Xiaoke said, embarrassed. (To be continued.)
