C448 – A Hidden Figure Entering an Ancient Tomb!
Perched in a tree a hundred meters away, Jiang Hao gazed intently at the gravesite, catching every word uttered by the people below without missing a beat.
He couldn’t help but feel a jolt of surprise.
“Could it be that this is actually the grave of Lee Yuanba?”
Jiang Hao found himself nodding in agreement with Tang Chao’s speculation.
After all, with martial cultivators emerging and even ghosts making an appearance, it seemed that nothing was beyond the realm of possibility.
Suddenly, a faint disturbance caught his attention.
Below, he spotted a swift figure darting past, cleverly using the underbrush as camouflage to edge closer to the tomb.
?Jiang Hao marveled at the figure’s skillful concealment.
“Such masterful art of stealth!”
Had he not been employing his Wind Catching Ear technique to scout the area, this individual would have gone undetected.
“It looks like this person has their sights set on the tomb, too!”
“And to think, there’s a surprising number of people clued into this ancient tomb!”
Reflecting on the information relayed by Lv Yingyu, Jiang Hao recalled the captured tomb raider who had ventured into the ancient tomb.
The rumor that the Imperial Ruler’s Seal had been retrieved from this very tomb by the raider was circulating. Some were skeptical, but others believed it wholeheartedly, and those believers were naturally drawn to this site.
?What truly astonished Jiang Hao, though, was the formidable presence of the middle-aged man in the pit—Bureau Chief Wang!
This man was not only a martial cultivator but one of considerable rank. His prowess would undoubtedly mark him as a formidable force anywhere else.
And there were others; Jiang Hao sensed several martial cultivator auras nearby.
They might not match up to Chief Wang’s caliber, but they were impressive nonetheless.
It appeared they were well aware of the ancient tomb’s anomalies and its value, hence the deployment of martial cultivators for its protection.
Down in the pit, the workers were laboring with an assortment of tools, attempting to shift the massive stone blocking the tomb’s entrance.
Jiang Hao remained a silent observer, making no move to intervene.
He was biding his time, waiting for the right moment.
And he wasn’t alone in his vigil; others concealed in the nearby woods were also lying in wait.
Interestingly, in addition to the initial intruder, several more groups had stealthily made their way to the site.
It seemed the ancient tomb had become a beacon for those in the know.
As time ticked by, the stone sealing the tomb’s entrance was finally cleared.
In the depths of the tomb pit, the staff members tested the air quality and, elated with the results, rushed to inform Director Wang.
“Chief Wang, the air is clear—we’re good to go!”
Upon hearing the news, Wang Mingyang issued his commands.
“Su Lie, Jiang Wenying, Huang Haibo…”
“Come with me. Your job is to ensure the safety of Elder Cheng and Elder Yang!”
“To everyone else, maintain a perimeter. No one gets through without my say-so!”
With his orders clear, Wang Mingyang led his fully-geared team into the tomb’s passageway.
As the group made their way inside, the tension among the hidden watchers around the tomb intensified.
Jiang Hao’s mouth twitched into a sly grin as he tapped into his Innate Ability, the Art of Transformation, and vanished from sight in an instant.
Then, with a burst of his Supernatural Foot Power, he traversed the distance in a few silent strides and slipped into the tomb pit undetected by the guards.
?Without a moment’s delay, Jiang Hao entered the tomb’s passageway, his presence still unnoticed.
Once inside, he carefully extended his spiritual awareness, proceeding with extreme caution so as not to trigger any traps and reveal himself.
?Before long, Jiang Hao spotted a glimmer of light at the far end of the tomb corridor.
