Chapter 160: Mysterious Big Boss
"No way!" Gu Fan and Lu Yi were a bit frightened, looking at the woman standing thirty steps ahead of them, Lin Xi, who seemed both familiar and strange. Her temperament had greatly transformed, her fierce eyes carried an air of dominance, the smile on her lips a touch of disdain.
With a flourish of Lin Xi’s hands, flames suddenly erupted in the corners of the room. These unexpected bursts of fire further illuminated the room, startling Gu Fan and Lu Yi.
As Lin Xi walked, she muttered words that sounded like a mantra. With each step, the room underwent a change, and a blue light sparked up under her feet, as though a path was being laid out for her.
At that moment, Lin Xi’s eyes radiated an inviolable and holy vigor. As this vigor surged, the twelve classmates felt as though some force was hollowing them out from within, their expressions twisted in pain.
Seeing this, Gu Fan wanted to say something, but was completely dumbstruck. Even when he saw Lin Xi approaching, he quickly stepped aside to let her pass, retreating to the side with Lu Yi.
Lin Xi moved towards the stone wall, the mantra she was chanting increasingly resonant. The wall, as though reacting to her voice, began to shake, and soon, the entire room followed suit.
The entire imperial mausoleum seemed to be shaking violently under a powerful force, with Gu Fan and Lu Yi having trouble maintaining their balance. They were absolutely terrified, unsure of what to do next.
Gu Fan finally understood why Du Jun had said that no matter what Gu Fan did, no matter how hard he tried to turn the tables, he would still end up being the loser in the end.
"Du Jun, Du Jun, this time I’ve truly lost to you," Gu Fan couldn’t help but grimace. Suddenly, the key in his hand, as though drawn by some force, flew away and landed swiftly in Lin Xi’s hand.
Lin Xi collected the key and reinserted it into the rock wall. Then, without touching the compass, she placed her hand above it. Once her hand began to move, the compass followed suit, completing the final step that Gu Fan had been unable to before.
Seeing this, Gu Fan couldn’t help but ask Lu Yi, "Well, bro, any ideas?"
