The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 543 - 445, Emperor Tang Ling Tomb (First Update)

"We all understand these things!"

Upon hearing the young man's cold shout, Ling Ying said calmly.

"Alright then, show us some of your skills!" The young man clearly looked down on Yang Tian: "If you can show us a few tricks, we'll let you follow. If not, with you idle rich kids meddling in, you'll surely be a burden!"

"Watch your mouth!"

Before Yang Tian could speak, Ling Ying had already snapped.

She couldn't tolerate anyone insulting Yang Tian.

With a flip of her hand, a thin silver needle shot towards the young man with a whizz.

"You..."

The young man's face changed, and he instinctively stepped aside.

But how could he avoid Ling Ying's attack?

With a swish, the silver needle pierced the young man's collar, almost puncturing into his chest.

At this, the young man's face turned pale: "You're so fast!"

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

He scrutinized Ling Ying from top to bottom.

Judging by Ling Ying's move just now, she was more terrifying than they imagined.

But it was clear Ling Ying was merely a follower of Yang Tian.

Yang Tian was probably even more fearsome.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man dismissed his disdainful attitude and proactively extended his hand to Yang Tian: "Hello, I am Huang Daoning, you can call me Brother Huang. This is my nephew, Huang Yining. Of course, this elder is naturally the core figure of our group, Southern Sect's Tian!"

Seeing Huang Daoning taking the initiative to show kindness to Yang Tian, the young man felt displeased but did not act out.

"Let's not waste time. Let's enter the Huang Ling Tomb!"

Yang Tian said calmly.

"Young man, for the Chen Family's sake, you can tag along, but whether you come out alive depends on your skills!"

Southern Sect's Tian, having remained silent all along, said indifferently.

That night, Yang Tian and Ling Ying led the group of four to the outskirts of the Huang Ling Tomb.

The Huang Ling Tomb was just one of the many tombs of Emperor Tang, said to be the tomb of Emperor Taizong of Tang according to historical scholars.

Discovered in the 1950s, the Huang Ling Tomb remained undeveloped for decades. The monuments bureau guarded it rigorously, deterring countless tomb robbers over the years.

This time, Southern Sect's Grandmaster Tian took matters into his own hands.

"In fact, thirty years ago, Tian had already come here to excavate."

Huang Daoning suddenly remarked.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Yang Tian activated his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings.

Soon, he discovered a dense growth of vines in the woods ahead. These vines covered a depression so lushly that one couldn't see through, but Yang Tian's Divine Sense clearly sensed a passage underneath.

The passage was overgrown with moss, showing uneven marks left from human excavation.

Understanding this, Yang Tian realized why these tomb robbers were so sure they could enter the Huang Ling Tomb.

He remained silent.

Under the guidance of Southern Sect's Tian, the group soon reached an inconspicuous vine thicket in the depths of the woods. When Tian instructed Huang Daoning and his nephew to cut through the vines, a passage was revealed inside.

"This... there really is a passage!"

A young woman exclaimed in surprise.

"Zhang Hong, do you believe in Master now? Master came here a long time ago!"

Huang Yisong quickly smiled and said.

Zhang Hong nodded: "This is great, we can go in and search for treasure now!"

"I'll protect you as we go in!"

Unable to contain himself, Huang Yisong was eager to be the hero, but Huang Daoning sternly shouted: "Stay behind me, everything has to be done according to the rules!"

Huang Yisong and Zhang Hong smiled sheepishly and obediently stepped back.

Huang Daoning respectfully addressed Southern Sect's Tian: "Tian, everything is ready!"

"Hmm."

Southern Sect's Tian instructed Huang Daoning to take out chicken blood, large red incense candles, glutinous rice, a Peach Wood Sword, and other items to perform a ritual on the spot. Finally, he led Yang Tian and the others along the passage inside.

They had no idea how long they walked.

Until they saw a phosphorescent light ahead, realizing they had reached the end.

"These phosphorescent lights were left by me years ago. Breaking through here leads directly into the Huang Ling Tomb!"

Tian said with a calm expression.

Yang Tian sent his Divine Sense probing into the wall, frowning as he found he couldn't detect what was inside.

This had to surprise him.

After all, his cultivation had long broken through to the early stage of the Soul Firmament Realm.

In this Huaxia country, was there actually something he could not detect?

He carefully ran his Divine Sense again, only to find a complete blank inside.

It was as if the Emperor Tang Ling Tomb was made from some sacred material.

"All of you, step back!"

At this time, Nan instructed, taking out a pack of explosives from his backpack, personally ignited it, and with a loud bang, blasted a man-sized hole in the wall. Instantly, a cloud of dust with a strange odor burst forth, making everyone cough violently. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Everyone wet your cloth with your own urine."

Tian briefly instructed them and then placed a candle next to the hole. Seeing that it didn't extinguish, he worshiped piously on the ground a few times, waved his hand, and was the first to walk inside.

The others also took out their cloths, wet them with urine, covered their mouths and faces, and walked inside.

As soon as they entered, the strange smell grew even stronger.

Snap.

Huang Daoning lit a glow stick, and immediately, everything in the cave became visible.

But when they clearly saw the situation inside, everyone was stunned, frozen there: "Is this the legendary tomb of Emperor Tang?"

Before everyone's eyes was a tomb chamber as large as a basketball court with nothing inside but a single coffin, which seemed extremely eerie.

"Tian, did we dig the wrong site? This couldn't be Emperor Tang's Ling Tomb!"

Huang Daoning was the first to voice his doubt.

The Southern Sect's Tian's face was serious. He came to the coffin, glanced at it, and upon seeing the body inside dressed in an Emperor's Robe, he shook his head, "It's hard to say, the body is wearing an Emperor's Robe, it might be a member of the royal family, or a Palace Attendant meant to mislead. Look around to see if there are other passages!"

With that, the Southern Sect's Tian took out a big rooster from his backpack.

The rooster was still alive.

The Southern Sect's Tian tied the big rooster to the southeast of the Ling Tomb, muttering, "Ancestors of the Southern Sect, today Tian has intruded upon the Emperor Tang Ling Tomb, please watch over us..."

"You two, come with me!"

Huang Daoning brought Huang Yisong and Zhang Hong to inspect around Ling Ying.

"Yang, this place is very eerie. Why can't my Divine Sense penetrate the walls?"

After everyone walked away, Ling Ying asked quietly.

Yang Tian nodded, "Not just you, even I can't detect the surroundings."

"Ah, even you can't detect the surroundings?"

Ling Ying's face turned pale.

She was well aware of Yang Tian's terrifying cultivation, which had long been in the Soul Firmament Realm, yet he couldn't run his Divine Sense through the walls of the Ling Tomb?

Just then, not far away, Huang Yisong suddenly let out an exclamation, "Tian, come quickly, there's a hole here!"

"That's perfect!"

The Southern Sect's Tian hurriedly waved his hand, and headed into the opening first.

Yang Tian hesitated only for a moment before following in with Ling Ying.

Nobody knew how long they traversed the tunnel, only that it emitted a strange odor, and if it weren't for filtering with urine-soaked cloths, they'd have been overwhelmed long ago. The Southern Sect's Tian said nothing, just persistently led everyone forward until a glow came from ahead, startling them all, "Could there be another chamber ahead? Could it be the main tomb chamber of Emperor Taizong?"

Saying this, everyone grew excited, quickening their pace toward the end.

But soon, their expressions changed: "How did we come back here again!"

Before them was still that basketball-court-sized tomb chamber, with that coffin in the center, and a candle lit in the southeast.

This was the chamber they had come to at first.

How did they end up back in the original place?

The Southern Sect's Tian's face turned pale instantly, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, as he muttered something under his breath, which no one could make out.

Feeling the panic in the Southern Sect's Tian's pale face, everyone felt a bit unsettled.

The Southern Sect's Tian was the most familiar with this place, so why was Tian so panicked?

"Go check out that rooster!"

The Southern Sect's Tian suddenly said.

"Yes!"

Huang Daoning hurried to the southeast of the Ling Tomb. When they arrived not long ago, the Southern Sect's Tian had tied a rooster in the southeast.

Although they didn't know what Nan was up to, Huang Daoning still approached the southeast of the Ling Tomb, only to let out a cry, "The rooster is dead, there's blood everywhere!"

"The rooster is dead? But aren't we the only ones here? We just went into the tunnel together, no one stayed behind, so how did the rooster die?"

Zhang Hong was the first to voice his doubt.

But halfway through his sentence, Zhang Hong noticed the atmosphere around him had grown deathly silent.

The air seemed to stop.

The pounding of their hearts was so clear.

Zhang Hong looked at everyone, noticing that they were all staring intently at the coffin, their expressions filled with tension, especially the Southern Sect's Tian, whose face was tinged with paleness. In that instant, Zhang Hong's whole body trembled as he said, "Besides us here... could there be anyone else... the one who killed the rooster, could it be from inside the coffin..."
