Fury Towards The Burning Heaven
chapter-113

The outward appearance of the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch looked so ordinary, like a small ordinary hill. On the front of the tomb was this gigantic stone wall, and in front of the stone wall were extremely spacious plains. These plains were now cluttered with people, and with a single glance, one could estimate there were around five to six thousand individuals.

Jiang Yi was now standing in the midst of these six thousand individuals. Just a moment ago, the college gathered all the cadets to give an admonishing speech and also briefly introduced the situation within the tomb. They even warned the cadets to be extra cautious when inside and not put on a strong front. They also said some nonsense—to be friendly while offering assistance to one another.

Who didn’t like treasures?

All the people here weren’t risking their lives to temper themselves. It was more likely that they were here for the treasures inside. In crucial moments, they would even kill their own father for the treasure. Was there a need to even mention ‘fellow cadet?’

Jiang Yiliu and Zhangsun Wuji were also standing at the waiting area. It was obvious that Zhangsun Wuji had consumed some earth-tier recuperation elixirs, and his injuries had recovered fine. From the looks of it, the two of them only brought seven or eight men, and they were all at the fifth or sixth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm. Only Jiang Yi knew that the two of them actually had more than 700 men going in with them, too.

Ji Tingyu was together with Jiang Henshui, Leng Qianqian, and Liu He. The other cadets all formed groups with people they were familiar with. Only Jiang Yi stood by himself because Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan both received orders from their clans—that they were not to offer any assistance to Jiang Yi.

Of course, other than members of the Zhan and the Qian Clan, Jiang Yi would reject anyone even if they wanted to join him. The Zhangsun and the Jiang Clan were too influential, and who knew how many spies did they have planted around.

There was another exception!

Jiang Yi saw a beautiful figure walking swiftly towards him which startled him. Lots of eyes also looked over and were all filled with bewilderment and jealousy—especially Jiang Yiliu whose eyes were fuming!

“Mentor Su, are you going in to seek treasures, too?”

A slight smile appeared on Jiang Yi’s face. This ice beauty always had her way of making his heart feel warmth and tranquility.

Su Ruoxue didn’t even look at Jiang Yi. Her eyes were looking straight at the stone wall as she said indifferently, “Why? A mentor can’t enter to look for treasures?”

“Sure you can!”

Jiang Yi replied calmly. This Heaven Monarch of Ten-Thousand Dragon had laid out a formidable restriction. The Tomb of the Heaven Monarch would only open once every fifty years, and anyone under the Soul Travel Realm could enter. Those that were above the restrictions would automatically be rejected. Su Ruoxue was still at the Purple Mansion Realm and could naturally enter, too. There were other mentors who were going to enter the tomb to look for treasures as well.

But Jiang Yi suddenly changed his tonality and said, “Of course, you can enter to search for treasures. But can I trouble you to stay away? I don’t like walking together with others.”

“Hmph!”

Su Ruoxue let out a cold humph and said with discontent, “This mentor shall go wherever she pleases. Who wants to follow you?”

Jiang Yi’s expression turned serious as he leaned over to Su Ruoxue and lowered his voice, “Mentor Su, this isn’t for fun. You should know how dangerous it is to follow me, right?”

Su Ruoxue didn’t have any change in expression and lowered her voice as well, “Didn’t this mentor once taught you? A warrior shouldn’t have any fear of danger. Only with a strong heart, would one be able to step on the path towards the pinnacle.”

“Su Ruoxue!”

Jiang Yi clenched his teeth and shouted, “I do not need your protection or your pity. Could you please move away?”

“Cadet Jiang Yi!”

Su Ruoxue finally turned to look at Jiang Yi and said with a serious tone, “I am truly going in to look for treasures.”

“Sigh…”

Jiang Yi looked at the face that could cause the downfall of cities and kingdoms and let out a pleading expression. He whispered, “Take it as I am begging you, okay? Please don’t play around!”

“Buzz—!”

Right at this moment, the stone wall on the front suddenly brightened up with a series of brilliant rays. A presence—so strong that it caused everyone’s soul to tremble—enveloped them. The light rays got brighter and brighter so much that the entire stone wall and small hill had lit up. The rays glared too much that everyone’s eyes couldn’t even open. When looking from a distance, it seemed as though the morning sun was rising.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

An extraordinary scene happened. Along with the brilliant light, the stone wall that was smooth like a mirror suddenly had an opening—a door. But due to the blinding light coming from within, no one knew what was beyond the door.

The Tomb of the Heaven Monarch had opened!

“Swish!”

The martial artists that were standing in front of the stone wall let out faces of excitement and joy. Their bodies jumped up and darted straight into the light door and vanished.

“Swish-swish-swish!”

Numerous martial artists rushed into the stone door like carps in the river. In just a few blinks of the eye, hundreds of people had already entered.

“Get lost and don’t follow me. If not, I will not acknowledge you as a friend for my entire life!”

Jiang Yi let out an imperative expression as he glared at Su Ruoxue with vicious eyes. He faced the front and rushed after launching himself off the ground with his legs. He was clear that if he entered earlier, it would be safer for him. If not, once Jiang Yiliu’s men entered first, they would set up a blockade, and he would die first before he even had the chance to search for any treasure.

Keke, this little man is rather cute when he gets angry.

Su Ruoxue let out a calm smile and quietly murmuring before drifting behind Jiang Yi once he moved and followed him closely into the door.

Slut!

Jiang Yiliu’s body didn’t move as he looked at Su Ruoxue’s back with bitter resentment. His eyes had a flash of killing intent as he turned to look at a subordinate. That subordinate quietly made a hand gesture, and a distant group of individuals entered the door in an orderly manner.

“Swish-swish-swish!”

In just one hour, several thousands of people all entered the huge door, leaving behind only a few personnel who stayed behind to wrap things up. One hour later, the huge door gradually closed; and the white rays slowly disappeared, too. Finally, everything went back to peace like nothing ever happened.

“Sigh…”

Principal Qi let out an indistinct sigh as she headed back to camp. Principal Liu, who was at the side, shook his head and sighed with sorrow, too. “I wonder how many of these thousands of people that entered to look for treasures would survive. Would there even be half of them left?”

…

The interior of the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch sure is mystical!

After Jiang Yi entered the door, he realized that the inside of the tomb was actually a supermassive grand hall. There was nothing much within the grand hall except for ten mysterious altars with a flickering light. Those martial artists that entered earlier didn’t hesitate and vanish after randomly choosing an altar to rush into.

“This is a Teleportation Formation. Let’s hurry up. Their men are going to arrive soon.”

An icy cold voice echoed, and Jiang Yi helplessly sighed. Before he could even speak, a soft and small hand grasped onto him and pulled him into one of the Teleportation Formations.

“Buzz!”

A ray of white light radiated, and Jiang Yi instinctively covered his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had arrived at an unfamiliar forest; and it was surrounded by nothing but silence.

This sure is a mystical space.

Jiang Yi looked up and around. He saw a dusky sky and limitless horizons; he couldn’t help but get deeply amazed. He then suddenly recalled something. He abruptly turned to look at his side and instantly got furious. “Su Ruoxue. Don’t you want your life anymore? I mean, you are a grown person, but why do you behave like a child?”

“Haha!”

Su Ruoxue widened her eyes and let out an expression of mockery. She then spoke as though she didn’t bother, “Cadet Jiang Yi. How old are you? You dare lecture this mentor? When I was adventuring in Mt. Thirty Thousand by myself, you were still drinking milk…”

As she spoke, Su Ruoxue began to laugh to herself and turned her face away bashfully. She paused for a moment before saying, “Jiang Yi, stop your nonsense. I, Su Ruoxue, don’t like to owe anyone a favor. You once saved my life and even got into a conflict with Jiang Yiliu because of me. I cannot watch you being killed by him. There is nothing that you can say to change my mind—unless you are able to leave me behind or… kill me.”
