"That's right, he is the grandson of the Chen Clan's Clan Leader, Chen Ming."
Wu Yue quickly said.
"This is fantastic!" The man climbed up from the ground, gazing intently at Yang Tian: "Young Master, I was just offended, please forgive ! I am one of Sir Chen's bodyguards, trapped here by Chen Shangliang for ten years. I have constantly wanted to leave this place!"
After a pause, the man looked tightly at Yang Tian: "Young Master, is Sir Chen still alive?"
"Sir Chen is still alive!"
Wu Yue replied.
"That's good!" The man paused and said: "Young Master, could you let out? I'll take you to the second hidden chamber."
Yang Tian operated his Divine Sense, probing the chains on the man. He frowned, instantly realizing these chains were made of nanomaterials, unbreakable by ordinary people. Even Yang Tian couldn't break these nanomaterial chains if he hadn't beco a cultivator.
"Yang Tian, can you break these chains without using Spiritual Breath?"
Wu Yue asked nervously.
"Let's give it a try."
Yang Tian stepped forward, exerting his hand, and as soon as he used Spiritual Breath, it ignited. He looked towards the iron pillar and saw a rusty padlock.
"Yang Tian, can you do it?"
Wu Zetian ca up to Yang Tian.
"This should be easy..."
Yang Tian picked up an iron rod from the ground, pinching it into the size of an iron needle, and after fiddling with the lock for a few days, the padlock snapped open with a click.
"It's open?"
Wu Yue was stunned.
Not only Wu Yue, but even the Chen Clan bodyguard, trapped for over a decade, was montarily surprised.
"It's open."
Yang Tian said calmly.
"My goodness, we've been pondering for ages without finding a thod, and you unlocked it with a few moves? Truly deserving the title of Earth's most outstanding man!"
Wu Yue couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Yang Tian cast a glance at Wu Yue: "Alright, let's hurry and get out of here, or it'll all burn."
"Let's go quickly, it's indeed unbearable!"
Ling Ying's face flushed, covered in sweat. She deliberately sealed her Spiritual Breath within her Dantian to avoid being ignited by the acidic aura.
"Young Master, please accept my bow!"
The Chen Clan bodyguard climbed up from the ground and then knelt before Yang Tian with a thud.
"Don't talk about anything else, let's get out of here first!"
Yang Tian said.
"Please, Young Master, follow !"
The Chen Clan bodyguard walked towards the wall and pressed an infrared keyboard that seemingly appeared out of nowhere. After typing in a line of code, the wall slowly opened, revealing a passage.
"Let's go!"
Yang Tian gestured for the three won to follow him.
But Wu Yue hesitated for a mont, glancing at the tal boxes trapped in acidic liquid, unable to help but ask: "Yang Tian, these tal boxes contain records of the Capital City's nobles. If we collect so, we could control them! Leaving like this, don't you think it's a pity?"
"Life is most important; do you want to die here?" Yang Tian looked Wu Yue up and down, admiring her seductive and stunning figure: "But if you want to die, at least let enjoy myself for ten more years."
"Pervert, shut up; let's go!"
Wu Yue glared at Yang Tian and quickly walked along the passage.
The Chen Clan bodyguard earnestly added: "The records in the first hidden chamber are all in the second one, and they're even more detailed and rich, collected with great expense by Chen Shangliang."
"That's great!"
Wu Yue exclaid as she swiftly walked forward.
The surroundings were pitch black.
Wu Yue flared her hand into a fireball, letting it drift ahead.
The entire passage illuminated.
Everyone walked forward, and after about five minutes, they reached the end.
The Chen Clan bodyguard pressed a few spots on the wall, and the iron door slowly opened, a beam of light pouring out, blinding everyone.
But Yang Tian imdiately saw the situation inside the stone chamber.
The entire stone chamber was neither too big nor too small, as big as a basketball court.
Shelves lined it, filled with volus wrapped in parchnt, but what made Yang Tian frown was a transparent glass chamber opposite the shelves. Inside was filled with ice crystals, cold air pervasive, obscuring the view inside, but Yang Tian spotted an ice bed with a body lying on it.
The body resembled a young man.
The body had no signs of life.
Yet, having been preserved in the Ice Chamber long-term, this young man remained perfectly intact.
Yang Tian took a closer look at the youth's appearance, noticing a strong resemblance to Chen Shangliang, likely Chen Shangliang's son.
But what puzzled Yang Tian was how this young man died.
He'd heard that Chen Shangliang had no son, only three daughters.
Was this youth Chen Shangliang's illegitimate child?
All these mysteries made Yang Tian decide to keep a close eye on Chen Shangliang, as there must be a reason for having the body here.
"Young Master, the information inside here contains evidence of cris and filthy secrets of the noble families in the Capital City. Among them is evidence of the master and madam working together to fra Chen's back in the day." The Chen Family bodyguard said gravely to Yang Tian: "Young Master, this information is extrely important. Once exposed, it will surely ruin the master's reputation and may even land him in jail!"
Yang Tian nodded.
He had heard about the Chen's incident before.
Back then, Chen Ming and Liang Lijun indeed targeted Chen's in the fight for the position of Clan Leader.
But if this information were exposed, it would truly invite legal consequences.
After all, Chen's is in a state of demise.
"Say nothing, just burn it!"
Wu Yue uttered a sentence, entered the basent, and scanned the shelves and iron boxes. She quickly found the data on Chen Ming and the Madam, and without looking, she imdiately burned it.
"You scoundrel, aren't you just planning to latch onto Madam Chen and take control of the Chen comrcial dynasty?"
Yang couldn't help but say.
"Of course!"
Wu Yue chuckled rrily.
When she saw Ling Ying and Wu Zetian standing there, she hurriedly said, "Don't just stand there, co up and check for information. Look if there's anything beneficial for the Chen Clan, collect everything useful, and once Yang Tian inherits the position of Clan Leader, we can control the entire economic resources of Huaxia!"
Ling Ying's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea!"
"Let's get started!"
"Okay."
Wu Yue and Ling Ying began searching through the bookshelves.
But suddenly, the Ice Chamber unexpectedly snapped and cracked, releasing waves of cold air and revealing what was inside.
"It's a corpse!"
The Chen Family bodyguard was taken aback upon seeing the youth's corpse on the ice bed, and he froze on the spot.
"Who is this youth?"
Wu Zetian approached Yang Tian.
"It should be Chen Shangliang's son..."
Yang Tian looked towards the ice bed and saw the youthful corpse, deprived of cold preservation, decaying at a visible rate. Soon, a layer of white corpse hair grew all over it.
Seeing this, Yang Tian said to Wu Yue and Ling Ying: "Stop looking for information, we must leave now."
"But we haven't..."
Wu Yue wanted to say sothing, but Yang Tian interrupted her: "President Wu, don't you find this corpse a bit eerie? Do you want to stay here and watch the corpse change?"
Wu Yue glanced at the ice bed corpse, shivered, and finally said: "Okay, let's go now."
anwhile, Ling Ying, wanting to put the information down, felt a surge of cold air and couldn't help but cough.
"Ying, what's wrong?"
Wu Yue quickly asked.
"Nothing..."
Ling Ying covered her mouth, saying it's nothing, but made a gagging gesture.
"Yingying, what's wrong?"
Yang Tian ca over to support Ling Ying, channeling Spiritual Breath into her body.
Gradually, Ling Ying's complexion cald down, she glanced at Yang Tian, shook her head: "I'm okay now..."
Yang Tian carefully checked Ling Ying, seeing her face returning to a healthy color, he nodded: "Okay, let's get out of here."
Then, Yang Tian, accompanied by Wu Zetian and the three won, were led out by the Chen Family bodyguard.
Throughout the journey, Wu Yue kept chatting away with Ling Ying: "I already have the information on the four major families of Capital City, all very crucial docunts..."
Ling Ying remained silent all the way.
Yang Tian curiously glanced at Ling Ying: "Yingying, what's wrong?"
"Yang, I've been your woman for so ti now, but you rarely care about ..."
Ling Ying looked pitifully at Yang Tian.
"Umm..."
Before Yang Tian could speak, Wu Yue was already lecturing him: "Yang Tian, you damned philanderer, Yingying has given you her most important thing, what are you thinking? Only when she's coughing do you show so concern for her!"
Yang Tian held Ling Ying's jade hand: "I'm sorry, Yingying, I've been neglecting you."
Ling Ying looked pale, cautiously said: "Yang, I want to tell you sothing."
"What is it?"
Yang Tian looked puzzled.
"I seem to be pregnant..." Ling Ying pitifully said: "A few days ago, my period didn't co, and lately, I've been showing signs of nausea..."
"Really?"
Yang Tian was shocked, his face filled with joy.
Ling Ying, looking at Yang Tian's joyful face, cautiously added: "Yes, but the child isn't yours..."
"Damn it! The child isn't mine? Damn him, whose is it?"
Yang Tian shouted curses upon hearing this.
But then, Ling Ying suddenly changed from her previous pitiful look to show a hint of smile, filled with happiness: "It's ours!"
"......"
