Chapter 65 - What Is Going On?
When Jian had asked questions and revealed the secrets of Zhou You. Zhou You became afraid and took out his weapon to fight.
Seeing this Jian smiled and said " You don't need to be afraid. I am not your enemy and even if we fight you will not able to do anything to me." Jian revealed his cultivation.
Feeling pressure from Jian cultivation Zhou You was shocked because his cultivation was only at Foundation Building Realm level one and Jian's is at peak. Zhou You was covered in sweat.
"Who are you and how do you know about it?" Zhou You kept his weapon but he still stood away from Jian.
Jian smiled and just as he was about to speak. There was blinding light coming from the stairs and their attention was drawn towards it.
"What is going on?" Jian and Zhou You asked simultaneously. Jian smiled and said, "let's check it". Jian had already activated Star Gaze and he was able to see the stairs led them towards an entrance.
Jian and Zhou You started to climb the stairs. While they were climbing stairs. Outside of the tomb has become chaotic.
" We were not able to find the inheritance we have completed all tests still there was no inheritance ". A young man stood in front of an old man and was shouting at him about the tomb.
"Are you sure you passed the tests YoungMasterJiang?" The old man asked. And The young man who was shouting was Young master Jiang from the Jiang clan.
" Yes I have passed the tests and my guards are all dead. Why didn't you tell me that the beasts will not die after killing them? Every time I killed it was revived and it also became stronger how is this possible you tell me."
Young Master Jiang continued to ask the questions to the old man. Because the old man was a servant of the Jiang family and when the clans found out about the tomb they have sent their servants to explore and find the dangers of the tomb. When they explored they only reached till qualifying test. They couldn't qualify for the main test.
" Young Master I also don't know what is happening? Did you find anything out of the ordinary in there" The old has always explored the tombs for the Jiang clan before sending their clan members? He was always rewarded heavily and due to his knack for finding traps and dangers in the tomb Jiang family was able to get two high-level inheritances.
He wanted to check whether he didn't see anything when he went to the tomb. Young master Jiang heard his question and thought for a while.
Young Master Jiang became shocked as he recalled something. The old man saw the shocked look and asked " Did you recall anything ?" The young master Jiang nodded.
" I saw someone going before me but when I got there he was not there?". He was talking about Jian because when Jian went through the barrier the person who was looking was Young master Jiang.
" Young Master Jiang do you know him ?" The old man frowned when he heard him and asked.
Young master Jiang thought for a while ' I don't seem to recall where did I see him. However, after few minutes he shook his head indicating that he doesn't know.
The old man also nodded and thought about the tomb. He has discovered many tombs and was able to understand them. Although he was old his cultivation was only at the middle stage of the Core formation realm.
The old man's name is Kong Peizhi and He was able to join the Jiang clan as a servant because he had sold his inheritance he got the tomb to the Jiang clan many years ago. His talent was so bad that even the Jiang clan gave him all the resources of the inheritance he was still only able to reach the Core Formation Realm and after many years passed he has not much improved.
This tomb was his lifeline. If he can help the Jiang clan on gaining the inheritance then he will be rewarded which can help him prolong his life as he was at his life's end.
So Kong Peizhi thought about it. While he was thinking many people were coming and going to the tomb. Similar questions were asked by the other clans. No one was able to find that the tomb was not of an alchemist but a formation master.
Every Clan's Elders and Sect's elders gathered and went towards the Soaring Cloud Pavilion area. They told everything that has happened but the pavilion also didn't have any answers.
All of them started sending people in groups to find about the tomb. Many groups went and came back but they were in similar positions when they went first.
As they were trying to form another group. The entrance which was opened by the formation flag collapsed and the people outside the tomb started to panic. Because many were still inside the tomb.
While this was happening outside the tomb. Jian and Zhou You were still climbing and they were able to see the summit of the stars. They increased their pace and they reached the top both were teleported and simultaneously the gate of the entrance was closed.
Kong Peizhi saw everything happening outside the tomb. He suddenly thought something and he became excited but suddenly he became calm and went towards Young Master Jiang and said, " Sorry Young Master Jiang it seems like this tomb is a trap and I think we should get out of here "
Young Master Jiang was thinking. But when he heard Kong Peizhi he knew that the old man was right. This information was able to reach everyone because all of them kept tabs on each other and after discussing for some time and even asking the elder of Pavilion who opened the tomb to try. When they were not able to do anything they started to leave. But some were still staying because their members were still trapped in the tomb.
When Jian and Zhou You have reached the top of the stairs they were teleported into a cave.. And when they tried to explore the cave what they found made them afraid.
