Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 132: Jade Girl Holding a Sword, Turning into Enemies

The sun rises and the sunlight shines down.

The area in front of the ancient tomb was already in a mess.

"Bring the gun!"

Jinjiu shouted an order, and a spear was brought over by the person next to him.

He took the spear, channeled his true energy into it, and thrust it forward. Under the dual effects of the true energy and the overlapping projection, the spear was unstoppable and directly drilled a hole in the soil.

Jinjiu snapped his fingers and threw several round beads into the hole.

The next moment, three muffled bangs were heard. The cave was blown up several times in a row, and the soil around it became loose.

"dig!"

"Yes!"

The disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect carried hoes and shovels and dug near the loose soil. In a short while, they dug out a hole about one meter deep.

Dongfang Bubai floated over and looked at Jin Jiu curiously: "Why do you have so many thunder bombs on you?"

"I want you to take care of it?"

"fine."

That’s right, those round balls that Gin threw in were actually thunder bombs.

To be precise, it is the overlapping projection of thunder bombs!

While maintaining 60% of the power of the Thunderbolt Bomb itself, it can also be used unlimitedly without any consumption.

In this way, combined with various other means, the Sun and Moon Sect's excavation work can be carried out at an astonishing speed.

"It's through! It's through!"

Suddenly there was a loud cry, and the two of them immediately went there using lightness skills. Sure enough, they saw a big hole, and underneath the hole was the tomb.

"Keep digging and expand the hole!"

"Yes!"

Xiang Wentian and others also rushed over, and when they saw the cave entrance, they had different thoughts.

The Great Thief Ghost Hand said, "Why don't we let them dig first and then we go down and see what the situation is."

Gin nodded, "Alright."

He then took a torch, went down into the tomb, quickly found the passage to the second floor, and went down to the second floor.

"Why... why is there nothing here?"

Seeing the empty stone chambers, the great thief Ghost Hand couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Could it be that all their actions this time were in vain?
The hero Chen Dang said, "Don't worry, have you seen those people from Chongyang Palace? Obviously, there are still hidden places in this ancient tomb!"

Xiang Wentian said: "Indeed, search again, search in more detail!"

Many of the stone chambers were empty, and even in the few that showed signs of life, there was very little furniture, which was clearly visible at a glance.

Only the last stone chamber contained five coffins.

As soon as everyone saw it, they saw traces of sacrifice. When they opened the other three coffins, they naturally found something strange at the bottom of the coffins. When they opened them, they found a passage.

"It seems they have all escaped down there!"

"The armor and treasures are probably down there too."

The thief's ghostly hands were pressed down, but he couldn't hide his anxiety: "Let's go down and take a look."

Jinjiu smiled and said, "Okay, then you go first."

"This is...good!"

Ghost Hand hesitated for a moment, but thinking that the next level might be the treasure, he finally nodded in agreement.

Then he took a torch, jumped into the coffin, and went down the passage.

After a few steps, I reached the end.

At this moment, a sword light came from the side. Ghost Hand was unable to react in time and was pierced through the throat by the sword. I died without making a sound.

Time goes back to the past.

Yue Buqun and others discovered a secret passage inside the coffin, and everyone gathered around.

Zhao Min said, "I knew there must be a passage here. Go get some candles!"

Everyone then took candles and tinder, lit them, entered the coffin, and slowly came to the third level of the ancient tomb.

The firelight shone in, and everyone saw that it was just a small stone room, surrounded by tables, chairs, benches and a wooden bed.

The most eye-catching thing is a statue standing in the middle of the stone chamber, which reflects warm light under the candlelight.

"This statue... seems to be carved out of a single piece of jade?"

Yue Songtao was surprised and said, "If we take this out, it will be worth a lot of money!"

Yang Guo looked around and said, "Those so-called weapons, armor, gold and silver are still missing. It seems that they are really just rumors."

As people approached the statue, illuminated by candlelight, they saw that the statue was dignified and beautiful, lifelike, with a sword in its hand, which made it look even more heroic.

"Could this statue be the female knight Lin Chaoying, the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect?"

"That's probably it."

"This statue looks familiar. I think there's one on the Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Huashan..."

As everyone started discussing, Zhao Min couldn't help but shudder: "It's so cold!"

Everyone then realized that the temperature in this stone chamber was not high, but they all had advanced martial arts skills, and the ancient tomb was underground and was already cold, so they did not care.

Zhao Min has the weakest strength and cannot bear it.

Qiu Chuji said, "Master once went to the far north and dug up a huge piece of cold jade and placed it in an ancient tomb. I never expected..."

Everyone ate a mouthful of melon and didn't dare to talk about it in depth.

Liu Yuru reached out and touched the statue, saying, "No, this isn't cold jade, it's just ordinary hard jade. It seems to be emitting a chilling aura..."

Her eyes fell on the statue's hands.

“…This sword?”

When everyone saw it, it turned out to be true.

The statue was just made of ordinary jade, but the sword always exuded a biting coldness.

The sword is small and exquisite, the blade is like jade, the hilt is also exquisite, and it is inlaid with an emerald.

Liu Yuru reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, trying to take it down, but the sword didn't move at all.

"Ok?"

Liu Yuru exerted force and suddenly felt that the sword was extremely heavy. It looked small, but it weighed more than a thousand pounds. So she used her true energy again, but the sword still did not move.

Now she was really surprised.

"Sister Liu? What's wrong?"

"This sword... is so heavy!"

"what?"

This sword is small and exquisite, much shorter than ordinary swords, and weighs only a few pounds at most. How can a master say it is so heavy?

"You try it."

Liu Yuru immediately gave up her position, and Ning Zhongze stepped forward, grabbing the hilt and exerting force. He was also surprised: "It's really heavy, I can't even hold it!"

At this point, everyone else became interested and stepped forward to try, but no one could move the sword at all.

"Given the shape of this sword, even if it were made entirely of black iron, it would only weigh a few dozen kilograms at most. Why is it so heavy?"

"Perhaps it is some kind of rare iron found by the ancient Chongyang Patriarch?"

"I estimate this sword weighs several thousand pounds. What kind of exotic iron could be used to forge it?"

Yang Guo suddenly had an idea and said to Zhao Min, "You just said that they might come for something else. Could it be that they came for this sword?"

Zhao Min scoffed, "No matter how powerful this sword is, it's just a sword. I think there must be some mechanism connecting the sword to the statue, which is why it can't be lifted."

If it really weighed several thousand pounds, it would be strange if the statue's two hands weren't broken by the crushing force."

Everyone thought the same and continued to explore without further investigation. Soon they found a passage in the corner of the room. Walking along the passage, they found an underground river.

"This... could this be the way out?" Everyone was quite excited.

After all, the appearance of an underground river in this secret chamber might mean it leads to the outside.

Otherwise, why dig this channel?

Did you come here to fish?
Zhao Min had a diving expert under her command, who immediately dived into the river and slid down along the current.

After about two quarters of an hour, the man finally swam out and said excitedly, "This underground river is indeed a pool of water leading to the outside world. There are rest areas dug along the way for breathing. There is no need to worry about holding your breath for too long. Even a princess can leave easily."

"Great!"

Everyone was delighted, especially Zhao Min. After all, her martial arts skills were really weak. Except for her, everyone present was a congenital master, and they could hold their breath for a very long time. If this underground river was long enough, even if there was an exit, she probably wouldn't be able to get out.

Fortunately, there are rest stops along the way.

Little did she know that this so-called resting spot did not exist originally, but was deliberately created by someone not long ago.

Otherwise, she really couldn't get out.

"Hey, can you let me go now?" Zhao Min said.

“This…” Yang Guo was naturally hesitant.

Although the two sides seemed to be cooperating happily before, it was all because of the enemy's threat and Yang Guo's control over Zhao Min, forcing Zhao Min's subordinates to cooperate with them.

Although the escape route is now right in front of us, we have not really escaped after all.

If they were to let them go now, Ada and the others might not necessarily let them leave obediently.

Zhao Min had guessed it long ago, so she said, "You have a master, so you can let the others go first and leave her behind."

Yang Guo said, “You have too many people, leaving Sister Liu alone won’t work.”

"Then you guys go first, and we'll go next."

"Okay, let's do it this way."

After the two sides reached an agreement, Yue Buqun and others went into the water and left, leaving only Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi, Liu Yuru, Yue Songtao and Yang Guo.

On Zhao Min's side, only Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San and two others were left.

The two sides are five against five, and the combat strength is evenly matched.

But at this moment, everyone suddenly heard a voice coming from above their heads.

"It's them! They're coming down!"

"Has the ancient tomb been opened?"

"Impossible! How could they possibly have reached the second floor in such a short time? I'm afraid only a few people have come down to explore..."

"Let's go!"

"No!" Zhao Min suddenly said, "I've suffered such a great loss, how can I give up so easily? The passages in the ancient tomb are narrow, and they can't use their numerical advantage. We can launch a sneak attack and take ruthless revenge!"

Liu Yuru said, "You are so audacious! Let's not talk about the others, but those two men in bamboo hats are very powerful. You still stayed. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to leave?"

Zhao Min said, "I'll just do our thing. You can do whatever you want. If you want to leave, go ahead!"

Then he said to Yang Guo, “Let me go, and you can run away.”

Yang Guo thought about it, then unblocked the acupuncture points and left with Liu Yuru and the others.

Zhao Min asked A Da and others to return to the stone chamber, extinguish all the candles, and prepare for a sneak attack in the darkness.

She herself hid in the passage and watched. If anything went wrong, she would run away immediately.

This can be considered as learning from one's mistakes.

After waiting for a short while, the light of fire came down from above and gradually moved. It was obvious that someone was coming down with a torch.

It was the great thief Ghost Hand.

Ah Da's sword was as fast as lightning, and it accurately pierced the ghost hand's throat, causing it to die instantly without making a sound.

Ah Er, who was standing next to him, caught the body of Ghost Hand, held the torch, and pretended that nothing had happened.

"What's the situation down there?" A question came from the second floor.

Ah Er whispered, "No one, they ran away!"

"what?"

The light and shadow flickered, and someone jumped directly into the coffin, preparing to come down.

But just then——

"Idiot! Is that the sound of the ghost hand?" Gin shouted.

Ah Er cannot change his voice, and although he can imitate, he can only imitate 20% to 30%.

However, due to the echo in the stone chamber, the sound was distorted a lot. In addition, Youlong, Chen Dang and others believed that the treasures were on the third floor below and were very anxious to go down, so they did not carefully distinguish them.

But Gin could hear it.

When everyone thought about it, it was not the case.

Youlong, who had already jumped into the coffin, was suddenly embarrassed.

If we go down now, we will definitely be ambushed, but if we don't...

Jin Jiu ignored him and said, "Go down in order. Be careful."

The sound reached the crowd below. Zhao Min was helpless. She had wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack more people, but she had just killed one when the enemy noticed something was wrong and hurriedly shouted, "Retreat!"

A Da and others withdrew immediately.

Youlong heard the sound, but still did not dare to be careless. When he reached the end, he threw the torch in his hand out and took the opportunity to duck down and enter the stone chamber.

They were relieved that they had not been attacked, and others followed suit and went in.

The firelight illuminated the entire stone chamber. The space was not large and there was no obstruction, so the view was clear at a glance.

“Is this the only space here?”

"What weapons and armor? What gold and silver treasures? There's nothing here?"

"Zhao! I was cheated!"

"Sun Moon Divine Cult! I'm Zhuo Ma!"

Everyone was furious.

This time, he had to work and carry materials, didn't sleep for a day and a night, and also seriously offended the Quanzhen Sect.

Just for the treasure hidden in the ancient tomb.

As a result, nothing!
How can this make them not angry?
Of course, this is just a momentary anger. As long as they are appeased and calmed down, they will understand that they should not turn against the Sun and Moon Sect at this time.

Besides, all the Quanzhen people have run away, so there is obviously a passage behind.

Besides, they were not called here by the Sun Moon Sect. They came here because of the rumor. How could they blame the Sun Moon Sect for this?

But Jinjiu had no such intention at all. Instead, he stared at the jade statue with a burning gaze and said, "Your usefulness has been exhausted! Go ahead and clean them all out!"

Xiang Wentian and Shangguan Yun were both stunned, but Dongfang Bubai had already flashed, and with his open hands, silver light shot out, instantly piercing Youlong and another innate between the eyebrows.

"This is too much! Do you really think we are nothing?"

Chen Dang roared angrily and attacked with a palm.

Xiang Wentian and Shangguan Yun only reacted at this time and took action quickly.

"Haha, I'll help you!"

Several figures flashed and appeared again. It turned out that Zhao Min and the others had not gone far. When they saw that they had turned against each other, they turned around and ran back, joined the battlefield, and joined forces with Chen and the others.

The changes in the situation and the difference between us and the enemy are truly strange and unpredictable. The two sides that were hostile not long ago are now fighting side by side in the blink of an eye.

Chen Dang's group of innate masters already had many people. Seven people had been nominated before, and there were four hiding in secret. Even if three of them died now, there were still eight left.

At this time, Xiang Wentian and Shangguan Yun each faced one enemy, Dongfang Bubai directly held back four, and the remaining two people joined forces with Ada and the other five to attack Jinjiu directly.

A golden light flashed under Jinjiu's robe, and then a cold air emanated. Facing the crowd, he directly blasted out with both palms, and a cyan-gold palm force burst out and hit everyone.

The palm force had a very large range, and everyone was unable to cope with it. They were directly hit and sent flying.

The terrifying cold air penetrated directly into their bodies, forcing them to immediately stop all movements and circulate their true energy to resist!
