Halfway up the mountainside, Ye Luo looked at Lang Kun and spoke directly.

"How do you know?"

Lang Kun’s face was a picture of shock as he looked at Ye Luo, wondering how he could know all this. Of course, he wouldn’t know that Ye Luo possessed the amazing Clairvoyant Eye.

"Let’s go, no more nonsense."

Ye Luo pursed his lips and took Lang Kun towards the entrance to the subterranean mausoleum.

Meanwhile, in Zhonghai, a serial car accident suddenly occurred on a road. Four or five cars collided with each other, completely blocking the entire road. The police vehicles, as well as those from the Special Security Agency’s Xuan Group and Yellow Group, were all stuck here.

At that moment, Yang Bingning’s eyes revealed a trace of urgency, yet she was helpless.

"Team Leader, what should we do now?"

Inside a black commercial vehicle, Mingyue frowned deeply as she looked at Wang Ruofeng.

"This road should have light traffic, but what a coincidence that an accident occurred now, especially since it’s the essential route to Qifeng Mountain. I’m afraid..." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Wang Ruofeng’s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of unusual light flashing through them.

"Team Leader, are you suggesting that this was premeditated, deliberately staged by the Maple Leaf Organization to delay us?"

Chen Chen couldn’t help but say.

"It seems that there are indeed moles within the police force, and it’s very likely they are from the upper echelons of the police."

"Then what do we do now, Team Leader? Right now, only Ye Luo is there. If the Maple Leaf Organization really enters the mausoleum and obtains the Imperial Jade Seal, I’m afraid he can’t hold them off by himself."

Mingyue said in a serious tone, her eyes flashing with an imperceptible concern.

"Have everyone get out of the car and head to Qifeng Mountain as quickly as possible," Wang Ruofeng’s eyes hardened, gleaming sharply.

"Yes, Team Leader."

Immediately, the members of the Xuan Group got out of their vehicles, and the members of the Yellow Group also dispersed from theirs. Clearly, Sun Wu and Wang Ruofeng had made the same decision: to abandon their cars and walk to Qifeng Mountain.

Though Qifeng Mountain was still a long distance away, all the members of the Special Security Agency were martial artists, far stronger than ordinary people, so such a distance wasn’t much for them.

"Team Leader Wang, what is this?"

Yang Bingning got out of the car and couldn’t help but ask Wang Ruofeng and the others.

"To avoid further delay, we’re leaving the cars behind and walking to Qifeng Mountain. Once the road here is cleared, you all should head immediately to Qifeng Mountain," Wang Ruofeng said directly.

"I’ll go with you."

Yang Bingning said emphatically.

"It’s not a short distance from here to Qifeng Mountain. Can you keep up?"

Mingyue glanced at Yang Bingning and retorted.

"I can," Yang Bingning said with a determined expression.

Qifeng Mountain.

Ye Luo and Lang Kun arrived at the entrance to the underground passage, with two members of the Maple Leaf Organization lying defeated on the ground, naturally taken down by Ye Luo.

"Have you been into this tomb before?"

Ye Luo looked at Lang Kun and asked.

"No, I found this entrance before, but I didn’t go in. After all, the tomb of the nobility in the ancient Imperial Palace of Huaxia must have traps. It’s not so easy to enter, so I wanted to be fully prepared before I went in. As a result, I got caught, and I don’t know what’s inside the tomb."

"Let’s go."

Without much thought, Ye Luo casually spoke and led Lang Kun into the tomb.

The passageway was pitch-black and extremely narrow, but as they went further inside, the space began to expand.

It wasn’t long before Ye Luo saw a stone door. At the moment, the door was wide open, and several corpses lay on the ground, all members of the Maple Leaf Organization, each with several arrows embedded in their bodies.

"It seems this is the entrance to the tomb. There really are traps here. However, it’s not bad that someone else has taken the hits from these traps for us."

With a smile, Ye Luo walked right in.

Inside the stone doorway, the place had clearly been constructed. A long corridor lay ahead, with luminescent pearls embedded in the walls on both sides. Their glow was valuable.

"The owner of this tomb is really rich."

Ye Luo looked around at the Luminous Pearls, pondering whether to pry a few off and sell them, which should fetch a handsome price.

"However, there must be even better things inside."

Immediately, Ye Luo thought that if such valuable Luminous Pearls were used for lighting in this passageway, the heart of the tomb must contain even greater treasures.

Using the Clairvoyant Eye, Ye Luo could now see that about fifty meters ahead, members of the Maple Leaf Organization were all gathered and had not proceeded further because the road ahead was completely replaced by glistening mercury with strong corrosive properties; one touch would likely be fatal.

Above the mercury, on both sides of the wall, there were footplates that kept extending and retracting: they would extend in a matter of seconds and retract back into the wall shortly after.

To get across, one had to step on these footplates. However, if they weren’t quick enough and failed to step on the next plate before the one beneath them retracted, they would most likely fall into the mercury with obvious dire consequences.

For a moment, the faces of the Maple Leaf Organization’s members turned somber and grave.

"Move quickly, don’t waste time."

The Emissary commanded coldly, prompting the others, not daring to delay, to start preparing to cross.

Whoosh!

As the first plate extended, a B-level expert from within the Maple Leaf Organization leapt onto it and then quickly jumped to another plate, swiftly crossing the path lined with mercury.

Seeing the first person succeed, the rest of the members from the Maple Leaf Organization relaxed slightly and began to take their turns. However, several members who were not as quick fell into the mercury, immediately screaming in agony as their bodies corroded and died.

"How awful!"

Watching from behind, Ye Luo couldn’t help but comment through the Clairvoyant Eye; Lang Kun, on the other hand, wore a puzzled look, not understanding what Ye Luo was talking about.

Aside from the initial two or three people who fell into the mercury, the rest made it across, as they were all martial artists who had reached the Acquired Realm and had the necessary speed and ability.

Having crossed the mercury, they continued onward until the corridor filled with the screechy sounds of something approaching, followed by a swarm of black bats rushing out and heading straight for the Maple Leaf Organization’s members.

"Be careful, they’re black bats, highly poisonous."

The Emissary’s eyes narrowed as he uttered a cold warning.

Soon after, two screams echoed, and two members of the Maple Leaf Organization at the front were bitten by the black bats. They fell to the ground with their faces turning black instantly, breathless.
