This place is more than a thousand kiloters from Ancheng, and Yang Chen was really uneasy about letting Left Envoy Yang return alone.
In fact, Yang Chen understood Left Envoy Yang's capabilities. Even if Left Envoy Yang truly went back alone, it wouldn't be a problem at all. But the key point is that Yang Chen wouldn't allow his own woman to drive a thousand kiloters back alone.
Moreover, Yang Chen felt very touched.
To say he wasn't moved would be a lie. After all, the Nine Venerables Group is so busy now, yet Left Envoy Yang ca out to follow him.
Even if Left Envoy Yang didn't say it, Yang Chen understood that it was because Left Envoy Yang was worried about him.
This shows that although Left Envoy Yang's mory hasn't recovered, deep down in her heart, she indeed trusted him and had developed feelings for him. Otherwise, why would she take the risk to co find him?
Although Yang Chen thought slightly conceitedly, that seems more or less the truth!
Left Envoy Yang thought for a mont and nodded slightly, "Keep in touch!"
Yang Chen gazed deeply at Left Envoy Yang, spreading his arms to give her a hug but was dodged by her with a swift turn, "Dream on!"
Left Envoy Yang said, and then disappeared into the forest.
Yang Chen shrugged helplessly and turned to go back.
Along the way, Yang Chen's appearance drew glances from people because he was soaked from head to toe, as if he had just been pulled out of water.
Back in the courtyard, Night Fire was shocked, "Boss, where did you go?"
Yang Chen felt a bit depressed and lied, "Fell in the water!"
He certainly wouldn't tell them that it was Left Envoy Yang who pushed him into the water.
"Get inside!" Without waiting for Night Fire to say much, Yang Chen's voice turned grave, addressing the few people.
Seeing this, everyone knew Yang Chen had sothing important to say, so they didn't joke around and followed him inside.
Yang Chen placed the photos on the table, speaking in a deep voice, "Latest news, a team has already entered the mountain ahead of us!"
"What?" Zhang Shaoting exclaid, grabbing the photos on the table to have a look.
The more he looked, the darker Zhang Shaoting's face beca.
The photos clearly showed scenes from Wowo Mountain, with those people wearing identical uniforms and carrying various toolbags, obviously heading towards the tomb!
And their attire wasn't from the Xiang family, nor was it from their side.
"How is this possible?" Zhang Shaoting said in confusion, "This place was a secret we got from the Double Dragon Jade Pendant, it never spread! Most importantly, we only arrived here and confird the news today, how could soone else have gotten here before us?"
From confirming the news at the village elder's place to finding Shiwa to guide them, not even two hours had passed.
How did this team get up the mountain?
Furthermore, the ti on the photos showed it was around four in the morning, when the sky was just turning teal, earlier than they got here!
"Could it be there's a third team that ca here?" Purple Cultivator said seriously.
Night Fire stood aside, frowning in thought.
Yang Cao stared cautiously at the photos.
Zhang Qicheng looked serious, with a cold gleam in his eyes.
After a while, Night Fire slowly spoke, "I just recalled the scenes from when we first arrived here, there were many suspicious points. I think... perhaps this village has issues."
Everyone looked at Night Fire.
Night Fire spoke gravely, "First, before we entered the village, the Xiang family had already contacted the people in the village and had rented out houses. Not only in this village, but also in the town, they had already arranged a place to stay. Which ans, the Xiang family had co here beforehand, they at least scouted it out!"
Everyone frowned, their faces darkening.
"Secondly, have you noticed, after entering the village, aside from the village elder advising us not to go into the mountain for fear of the Mountain God's punishnt, no one else said anything, nor dissuaded us, and they weren't even surprised by our presence; most importantly, not even the children showed curiosity or ca up to watch us! What does this indicate?"
Zhang Shaoting's face changed slightly, "This indicates that they are already used to the appearance of people like us!"
"Exactly!" Night Fire looked at Zhang Shaoting and said seriously, "At least it's a possibility! Even if we take a step back, when Shiwa was selling bronze items, the news would have spread, after the first wave of people, a second and third wave coming is very normal."
"But if they really feared the Mountain God on Wowo Mountain, surely they wouldn't allow us to go up the mountain so easily, right?" Zhang Qicheng said hoarsely, "When I was on the Lijia Continent, the locals revere deities and absolutely wouldn't allow you to destroy, or enter divine domains."
"Exactly!" Night Fire nodded, "And that's the problem, because they don't care about these things at all!"
Hearing this, Yang Chen slamd the table and said seriously, "Get everyone ready, rest well during the day and enter the mountain tonight!"
"Yes!" Night Fire, Purple Cultivator, and the others responded imdiately.
Zhang Shaoting and Zhang Qicheng frowned, but now that things had developed to this point, they could no longer delay. If there were any changes in the tomb, it wouldn't be a good thing for their family either.
At this mont, all the Zhang family's hopes were resting on them, and there mustn't be any accidents.
After instructing everyone, Yang Chen got up and went to find Xiang Xingyu in the courtyard.
Xiang Xingyu had already taken off his clothes to sleep but ca out in pajamas when he saw Yang Chen looking for him.
To Yang Chen's surprise, Xiang Xingyu had brought pajamas with him on this trip, and they even had a Crayon Shin-chan design on them.
"Mr. Yang, is there sothing you need?" Xiang Xingyu asked.
Yang Chen said seriously, "I want to change the departure ti!"
"Hmm?" Xiang Xingyu was puzzled.
Yang Chen didn't hide it, saying directly, "My n discovered soone entering the mountain, it's another group!"
"What!" Xiang Xingyu was shocked too, "When? How many?"
Yang Chen shook his head slightly, "Just a mont ago. The exact number is unknown."
"I'll have soone go up and track them now!" Xiang Xingyu imdiately called his n.
Yang Chen stopped him, "It's not the right ti now!"
Xiang Xingyu looked at Yang Chen in confusion.
Because Xiang Xingyu couldn't decide alone, he called Xiang Jixian over.
Upon hearing the news, Xiang Jixian was also quite excited and was eager to take people up the mountain right away.
Yang Chen stopped them, "Firstly, our people have covered the entire mountain with surveillance. They won't slip away unnoticed. Our n also need rest, so I propose we head into the mountain tonight. Delaying further may lead to changes, plus having others pave the way for us reduces the danger."
Xiang Xingyu and Xiang Jixian frowned, appearing anxious.
"No way! What if they go in and cause damage? Then we can't get in!" Xiang Xingyu expressed his concern.
"Exactly!" Xiang Jixian said seriously, "Delaying could lead to changes, but we also can't set off imdiately, assemble by three in the afternoon, and enter the tomb by five!"
