Zhao Hao's face darkened. If it really was just about killing the people around him, he would continue without hesitation.
But he sensed that these strange characters might threaten his life, and he hesitated for a moment.
However, he was not entirely willing to leave just like that.
At this moment, someone shouted, "The seal on this great tomb will soon open automatically, so why are you in such a hurry?"
Clearly, someone guessed his thoughts and quickly gave him a way out, lest he try to take everyone down with him.
Zhao Hao stopped what he was doing upon hearing this: "The specific time?"
“About half an hour!” someone replied quickly. “This is a prophecy left many years ago, it shouldn’t be wrong.”
They excluded those with weaker abilities from the outside, not allowing them to enter at all, just to prevent others from taking a share of the spoils.
But such a powerful outsider is certainly qualified to participate, and the various forces don't want things to get too tense.
"Fine, what's wrong with waiting another half an hour!" Zhao Hao's figure flashed, and he had already retreated dozens of feet. The golden light phantom naturally returned to his body.
Feeling the gazes of Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing, who wanted to look but dared not, his face flushed. He had run off so arrogantly, only to lose face like this. Fortunately, not many people in this world knew him.
He became increasingly interested in the tomb. The restrictions that even he couldn't break through with all his might meant that the things stored inside must be worthy of being called a celestial treasure.
At this moment, people from various factions came over to exchange pleasantries: "May I ask your esteemed name, fellow Daoist? We've never seen you before!"
Zhao Hao's face twitched. "I was feeling ashamed and didn't want anyone to know, but you all still showed up."
...
Meanwhile, dozens of miles north of the great tomb, Chu Chuyan walked along the road, attracting the attention of everyone around her.
However, the other person's appearance was too stunning, as if she was surrounded by a faint halo, and her clear eyes made people dare not look directly at her, only daring to steal a few glances.
Chu Chuyan didn't take it to heart. She had encountered this kind of thing many times since she was a child, and she had accumulated a lot of experience.
To avoid trouble, she secretly circulated the Snowflake Divine Sword around her. Sure enough, after sensing her powerful strength, no one dared to provoke her easily.
However, there are always exceptions in this world. At this moment, a group of knights galloped past on horseback. Their attire was not standard armor; instead, their clothing style was chaotic and disorderly. They were clearly not cavalry from any country, but rather looked like a group of bandits who ruled the mountains.
"Huh?" The group of people, who had already passed Chu Chuyan on horseback, all reined in their horses and stopped, turning back to look at Chu Chuyan with expressions of amazement on their faces.
"Boss, this woman is gorgeous!"
"Indeed, I have never seen such a beautiful woman."
"If I could capture her and make her my wife, it would be worth dying for!"
...
Chu Chuyan's face darkened. These guys were using foul language, which was really annoying. However, these were no ordinary bandits. Some of them showed cultivation fluctuations that were in no way inferior to hers.
"Worth it my ass!" The leader slapped his companion on the head. "In our line of work, life is the most important thing. Even if we die tomorrow, it's worth it."
"The boss is right," the man said with an embarrassed smile.
"But this girl is really beautiful. Why don't we grab her first and let everyone have some fun?" another man said with a wicked smile.
The leader gave Chu Chuyan a deep look, and finally shook his head reluctantly: "Forget it, this woman is not easy to deal with. If we take her down, we will definitely suffer casualties. Now, completing our mission is the priority. That person coming to our territory is a gift from heaven. Now that we have found his whereabouts, let's not cause any trouble, lest someone else beats us to it."
Seeing that his companions were still a little reluctant, he laughed and said, "Once we kill that target and collect the bounty, it'll be enough for us to have a different courtesan every day."
The others immediately perked up and started whistling: "The boss is right."
After saying this, the group blew kisses to Chu Chuyan, laughed loudly, and hurriedly rode away, kicking up clouds of dust.
Chu Chuyan frowned. Although she was annoyed, she was not a reckless woman. In this chaotic secret realm, there was no need to fight to the death with a group of powerful people over trivial matters. The most important thing was to find her companions and find a way back to her own world.
Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and she picked up a kill order that the group had accidentally dropped from the ground not far away. When she saw the familiar face on it, her heart jumped.
