“That’s right! We should all put our differences aside for the moment. Right now, we have more important matters to attend to, ad that is to open the tomb!” Chen Xiaobei proposed.

The heads of the other forces all agreed to that notion.

It was without a question an extremely difficult feat to gather all nine of the Orochi Scales. No one was willing to give up a chance like this to explore the world’s greatest hidden treasure!

If their operation was unsuccessful due to the remnants of some personal grudge, it would be one of the most regretful things to ever happen!

In lieu of this, the people of the Anti-bei Alliance decided to set their enmity with Chen Xiaobei aside for the time being.

Soon after that, all the heads of the forces stepped out.

Zhou Daoxian! Ancient Tomb faction leader, Long Zishan! Mount Shu faction leader, Xu Shiqiu! Xingxiu faction leader, Ding Xiadong! Five Mountain Swords faction leader, Feng Aotian! Blood Emperor, Sequinn! Wolf Emperor, Dio! All the seven heads had a piece of Orochi Scale in their hands.

The Vatican and Hogwarts did not have an Orochi Scale but were invited to the expedition because they were members of the Anti-Bei Alliance.

The two final pieces of the Orochi Scale was with Chen Xiaoebei.

Considering the number of scales each person had, the person with the most decisive authority should have been Chen Xiaobei.

When it came to strength however, Chen Xiaobei was the weakest among all of the top dogs.

That was why Chen Xiaobei had to extra cautious!

He made a conscious move to stand right next to Long Zishan before taking out the Orochi scales, one in each hand, his fingers locking onto the scales. If his enemy made even the slightest move, Chen Xiaobei would destroy both of the scales. He would rather fight to the death than let his enemy take advantage of him.

Emperor Qin’s tomb contained the greatest treasures on earth though. As key to opening the door to the treasures, the Orochi Scale had caused countless bloodshed in Jianghu, and had changed hands from owner to owner. This was the first time in thousands of years that all the pieces were together in one place.

No matter how much Chen Xiaobei’s enemies hated him, they would never want to miss out this once in a million chance.

His enemies did not budge from their places.

Buzz…

When all nine pieces of Orochi Scales were put together, a powerful wave of energy exploded.

Halos of glimmering light appeared in ripples of waves and began to expand. Within this light were mysterious and obscure runes.

The dense collection of runes then formed a giant formation.

All the leaders were shocked by what they had just witnessed. No one said anything as they had no idea on what was happening!

Chen Xiaobei could be considered the world’s number one formation and rune master, but he could not understand what the runes were for, and what they were meant to do.

It was apparent that without all nine of the Orochi Scales, no one on earth would be able to break the code of this formation.

It was also confirmed that this place was Emperor Qin’s real tomb, and that no one had ever been inside prior to this!

That was great news for all of them!

But then again, at the same time, it was also a warning signal! If the formation into the tomb was by itself so gargantuan, there must be bigger, scarier and more powerful things awaiting them inside the underground palace!

Desecrating the tomb of a legendary emperor was not going to be an easy task!

Rumble! Rumble!

The earth trembled and the ground was ripped opened!

The rift was growing bigger and deeper by the second. It was very much like a ravine, and akin to an endless abyss leading into hell.

After about half a minute, the trembling finally came to stop.

“Emperor Qin’s tomb is down there?” Ding Xiaodong stretched out his neck and looked down the ravine.

The old man was already injured, and was still spitting blood from Long Zishan’s beating. His face was drained of color and he spoke with great difficulty.

The other leaders all did the same, wringing out their necks trying to see what lay underneath.

“Senior Long! Step back!”

Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei grabbed Long Zishan’s wrist and pulled her backwards.

“Huh! What?” Long Zishan furrowed her brows, looking a little irritated.

After being a recluse for 300 years, no man had ever touched her. She had only come out into the world, when Chen Xiaobei had already broken her sacred rule. She was very distressed and even thought about giving the inconsiderate kid a piece of her mind.

But she changed her mind the next second.

Zing! Zing! Zing!

Sharp, dark, grey blades shot out of the ravine. They looked like swords, but were actually lethal Corpse Qi instead!

They had the speed of demigods, moving so quickly they were like shooting stars which made their way to the leaders in a blink of an eye!

“Shit!” Except for Long Zishan and Chen Xiaobei, the other leaders were tainted by the Corpse Qi, and were beginning to feel dizzy and weak.

The most unfortunate one was Ding Xiadong. He was already severely injured, and when the Corpse Qi took hold of him, he immediately fell very ill to the ground with foam spewing out of his mouth.

Thus, the power of a a mighty demigod cutting such a sorry figure. His old face was completely ruined!

“Pure Yang Spiritual Items! Use pure Yang Spiritual Items to repress the Corpse Qi!” shouted Kunlun faction’s leader Zhou Daoxian as he drew a gold sword and swung it at the Corpse Qi.

Poof!

Poof!

Black smoke rose as the sword came in contact with the Qi. It disappeared into the air, and Zhou Daoxian’s regained the colors on his face.

When the others saw this, they began to do the same. Luckily, pure Yang Spiritual Items were the bane of Ying Evil Items. After a short while, everyone recovered from the curse.

Ding Xiadong the old man on the other hand, was rescued by a few elders, and was able to preserve his life.

“This place is really very dangerous! This is just the entrance, and it’s already that scary! If we go in…” Ding Xiadong paused and swallowed nervously. He dared not even think about it.

The expression on the other leaders’ faces were very heavy. They were cautious at the beginning but now they were twice as cautious.

Everyone’s gaze turned to Chen Xiaobei and Long Zishan.

They all wanted to know how Chen Xiaobei and Long Zishan were able to foresee and escape the unanticipated trap of Corpse Qi!

“Let go of my hand!” Under the watchful eyes of the people around her, Long Zishan who was on the edge swiftly flung Chen Xiaobei’s hand away.

“Err, that was so sudden. I did not mean to offend you, senior!” Chen Xiaobei quickly explained.

Thankfully, Long Zishan was not mad at him.

“How did you know there was danger ahead?”

The others pricked their ears up.

“That is my secret. I cannot tell in front of so many people!”

Chen Xiaobei shrugged, a smile on his face, a concealed twinkle of joy in his eyes.

Evidently, that Corpse Qi which almost maimed everyone had just brought Chen Xiaobei a piece of extremely good news!
