Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1334 – Earth Class Threat

After walking a while, they came to a three-way split! Three of them looked the exact same, and anyone without a map would be lost!

Lin Yi stood at the three paths, testing them, and choosing the right path without much hesitation! The middle path was the only one the jade warned him off, and it gave off a strong alert! Lin Yi naturally chose the right path again.

The others followed Lin Yi, and even Old Hao didn’t say anything anymore.

After a few hundred meters, Lin Yi stopped again- but there wasn’t a split in front of them!

Old Hao subconsciously looked behind him- there were no splits there as well. Why did Lin Yi stop?

“Your man died here,” Lin Yi said flatly.

“Ah?” Old Hei paused, shining a flashlight upwards- there were blood splatterings up there, although you need to be paying attention to see it.

“So, that means this is the right path?” James said happily.

Old Hei didn’t look pleased. “All roads lead to Rome- who knew if the left path would’ve led here as well!”

But nobody argued with him about that- they were all enticed by the prospect of success.

“But, where’s Mister Qiu’s body?” Old Hei looked around, confused. There was no corpse.

“I don’t know.” Lin Yi said. “I’m not obligated to look for the corpse for you. If you want to, you can stay and search.”

“No… I’ll follow you!” Old Hei completely believed Lin Yi now- fortunately for him, he listened to his conversation last night, making him trust him like this. Otherwise, he might not make it back!

This time, there were stone dust markings, evidently left by Mister Qiu- with his corpse nowhere to be seen. This made Lin Yi guess that there was a practitioner hidden here!

Of course, Mister Qiu was too far away from Lin Yi back then, with so many people holding hands. It was a long line. He didn’t even feel the practitioner’s aura, but if they were closer, he would’ve.

“It’s here!” Lin Yi stopped and turned around suddenly. “This is where we made a mistake!”

There was another entrance- they went the wrong way!

“Right, I remember now, there was a big rock blocking the entrance here before, I went the wrong way because the rock was gone! I kept looking for the rock earlier. I didn’t know it had been removed already!” Old Hei slapped his head. “Who moved the rock?”

Lin Yi frowned- he seemed to have gotten himself involved with a plot, and there was an Earth Class involved in this plot as well! He thought that a Mystic was already the strongest they would encounter in this thieves’ group, but this was out of his expectations.

But he didn’t regret coming here- even if he knew that there was an Earth class beforehand, he would still have come. He would do this for Xiaoxiao- no matter the cost, even if it was an Earth Class threat!

If he was going to stop him, he’d use his energy bomb and blast him! He might still live after destroying him, but he’d be dead for sure! So even if an Earth class came, it would pressure Lin Yi, but it wouldn’t push him away from this tomb mission.

“Someone entered this tomb!” James remembered the rock as well, “Someone came in before we did!”

“But, the markings I made in the entrance, they weren’t meddled with…” Old Hei frowned, suspicious. “Although, if your qinggong is good enough, you’d be able to avoid messing up the small markings, the point is I’m the only one who knows how the markings work…”

Old Hei’s words were inaccurate to Lin Yi- even he could come into the tomb without breaking the markings, let alone an Earth class! This guy was looking down on Mystics and Earths too much.

“This tomb- only we know about it. Who else came here?” James frowned.

The two looked at each other and turned to Lin Yi!

Lin Yi didn’t know if he should be amused or something when these guys were suspecting- he didn’t know if the real couple came here before them, but he was here for the first time!

“Hmph, if it were me, why would I bring you guys out? Are you retarded?” Lin Yi smiled coldly.

The two had already gotten used to Lin Yi’s speaking style. Yes, if it were him, he had no reason to bring them out!

But… Could it really be Old Keng who did it? But he was dead now. There was no proof.

“You’re right! It’s thanks to you this time- it’s probably that Old Keng who did all this.” Old Hei hmphed.

“I’m continuing to the underground palace, are you guys coming or leaving?” Lin Yi didn’t want to spend time bullshitting with them. He was here for the fruit, nothing else.

“I think that we should go back and make discussions and plans?” Old Hao suggested, “Things aren’t going well today, with two men dead already- one of which we don’t know the cause of his death! We need to understand what we’re dealing with first!”

“Oh, you guys go back first.” Lin Yi said faintly. To Lin Yi, the biggest enemy here was the Earth class- the others were basically nothing to him!

“I feel that Old Hao is right…” Old Hei sighed. Without Mister Qiu’s protection, Old Hei was at a disadvantage- he evidently wanted to go back and get some more practitioners.

“That’s true. We don’t have to rush it today. We should make a detailed plan…” James didn’t want to go on, as well. He still hadn’t recovered from the shock from what happened today- going back to rest and tackling the tomb again would be better!
