The Most Powerful Bodyguard-Chapter 929: The Mysterious Cave

The group of black-robed figures seemed aimless, twisting and turning with no apparent pattern.

It's important to remember that on this vast ice plain, everything looks almost the same.

Finding even a slightly unique landmark is extremely difficult.

Yang Yan's doubts were gradually deepening.

Now, he could only wait until the end, when the mystery would be revealed.

Even though the black-robed figures were moving around, the distance they covered was terrifyingly vast.

At this point, it was impossible to tell how far they were from the original location.

After an hour and a half, the black-robed figures suddenly stopped in front of an ice mountain.

Yang Yan and Ao Tian naturally halted their pursuit from behind.

This place was filled with layers of sprawling ice mountains!

On this plain, such a view was indeed quite common.

If there was anything different, it was that the innermost, central ice mountain was unique.

The other ice mountains appeared somewhat chaotic, yet they seemed to encircle and protect the central ice mountain.

In essence, it was as if a dozen or so ice mountains were surrounding the central one, like stars embracing a moon.

At first glance, nothing seemed different.

However, in Yang Yan's eyes, this was very special.

"It looks like they are going in."

Ao Tian whispered beside Yang Yan.

Given their abilities, concealing their scent and sound, and even their presence, was remarkably easy.

Yang Yan remained silent.

He had eyes, so he could naturally see it for himself.

The leading black-robed figure led the group to a spot, then gently struck with his palm.

Rumble!

With a slight tremor, a cave big enough for three to five people to enter simultaneously appeared in the central ice mountain.

What the black-robed figure shattered looked more like a fragile mirror, crashing down into ice shards onto the ground, finally rolling to the mountain's base.

The group of black-robed figures entered in an orderly fashion, the leading figure staying at the entrance.

He raised his head and scanned the surroundings.

Although their appearances were hidden, their eyes were exposed.

The eyes carried a scrutinizing gaze that made one feel like he'd seen them.

However, Yang Yan and Ao Tian stayed perfectly still.

If they were discovered, they wouldn't be worthy of being called the Four Emperors.

At the cave entrance, the cave disappeared again.

The previously dark entrance was now covered with a layer of ice.

It was as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion of Yang Yan and Ao Tian.

After about three to five minutes, Yang Yan and Ao Tian hadn't moved from their spot.

At this moment, Ao Tian glanced at where the cave used to be and sneered:

"Such a childish trick, and they dare to show it off in front of me!"

"In the past, I would have crushed these ant-like people directly."

Yang Yan chuckled.

In the face of absolute power, everything is like bubbles.

As the Ice Emperor, Ao Tian indeed had such capabilities.

The duo realized that after the black-robed figures entered, they hadn't moved but were guarding the entrance.

It seemed they were waiting for someone to walk into their trap.

If they truly discovered the two, they would obviously charge forward, rather than wait opportunistically.

This hesitation was likely due to concerns.

This was probably a tactic they employed each time they came here.

It piqued Yang Yan's curiosity even more.

This place didn't seem like where Zhou Hanyun and the others were held.

His presence alone shouldn't have scared the arrogant Dr. Manhattan into such paranoia.

So, what was this place? Could it hold something important to Manhattan?

Forty minutes later, two silhouettes shot into the sky.

Though appearing reckless, they did it without alarming anything.

The duo not only concealed their presence but even controlled the airflow during their rapid movement.

To the lay observer, everything seemed utterly natural.

"I can't wait any longer. Honestly, it's been a while since I felt like this!"

Ao Tian, eager and excited, charged toward the place where the cave used to be.

He mimicked the black-robed leader's action, lightly striking forward.

Yang Yan followed closely at his back.

When the palm landed, the ground was again littered with ice shards.

However, this time, it produced no sound.

It had naturally been handled perfectly by Ao Tian.

By now, Ao Tian didn't dare to be careless.

He quickly gestured for Yang Yan to follow him inside.

With a cold expression, Yang Yan followed silently.

Behind them, a thin layer of ice appeared automatically.

The passageway was dark without any light.

Fortunately, this wasn't a problem for the duo.

The passage was only about three people wide, and as they moved further in, it became narrower.

Initially, both could advance side by side, but soon Yang Yan had to take the front, while Ao Tian followed.

Until... they were met with light up ahead.

It was less a light and more of a light curtain.

Because it blocked their path like a drapery.

You could part a curtain with a gentle touch.

Naturally, this light curtain could be walked through directly.

But just as moving a curtain would create noise, this light curtain was definitely not simple.

What to do?

Although Ao Tian didn't speak, his eyes expressed the question.

Yang Yan turned, seeking advice from Ao Tian, hoping for a better idea.

The light curtain didn't seem intimidating; crossing it would likely do no harm.

But it had one function: to alert those inside that someone had intruded.

This was a tricky issue.

Destroy it directly?

Ao Tian motioned an attack with his right fist toward the light curtain but didn't strike.

He looked at Yang Yan.

Yang Yan shook his head with a wry smile, implicitly denying the thought.

Now wasn't the time to expose themselves.

He feared knowing too little in the end, and their cover being blown would stir up the enemy, which would be counterproductive.

After pondering briefly, Yang Yan suddenly used his fingernail to chip off a small piece of ice and slowly brought it toward the light curtain.

As the two touched, the light curtain made no response, not even a ripple.

Yang Yan pushed it further; the ice passed through the thin light curtain unchanged.

Seeing this, Ao Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Yan exchanged a glance with him, and then the ice in his hand melted rapidly.

The melting water didn't spill.

Yang Yan set his hand over the original spot where he picked the ice, and soon, the water refroze, returning to its place as if nothing had happened.

The next moment, like flashes of lightning, the duo swiftly retreated from the cave.
