Chapter 136: Gone
This burial chamber was packed tightly with terracotta warriors. They were so densely packed that at a glance, it looked like a solid mass of darkness. The atmosphere in the chamber instantly became heavy and oppressive.
Wang Yunting said in a low voice, “If I’m not mistaken, once we pass through this chamber, we should be able to find a way out. But if the tomb doors are also sealed shut, or if there’s something strange about these terracotta warriors...”
His voice trailed off slightly. Entering this chamber filled with terracotta warriors without knowing what might trigger them put immense pressure on him as well, and a single misstep could mean falling into mortal danger.
At this time, Master Shenshan gave a slight nod. “Amitabha. In that case, may I trouble you to lead the way, our benefactor?”
He was a monk of true cultivation. Even though there had already been several traitors among their party along the way, he continued to follow the principle of trusting those he used. Thus, he chose to believe in Wang Yunting.
Now that Wang Yunting had spoken, the others followed his lead and cautiously made their way through the burial chamber.
Meanwhile, Li Yanchu and Bai Hongtu exchanged a glance but said nothing, then they edged a little closer to Wang Yunting. This tomb expedition had been dangerous enough due to the traps and threats hidden in the great tomb itself, but the truly troublesome issue was being constantly betrayed by those they traveled with.
Suddenly, Wang Yunting felt a chill in his heart. Could Daoist Master Yanchu be suspecting that I led everyone into this chamber to pull something shady?
He glanced over at the two members of Qingyun Temple, only to see them both smiling at him with gentle, amicable expressions.
Crack!
Suddenly, a faint noise reached his ears. Wang Yunting jumped in alarm and blurted out, “I’m not a traitor!”
He was terrified they might suddenly strike him down and grind his bones to dust on the spot.
