"Really despicable, letting this brat get ahead." Tang Can is a sinister person, but not someone who overestimates himself. Seeing the Ghost Soldiers swarming forward, he knows that trying to resist is like a mantis trying to stop a car—it will be useless. However, he can't just stand by and watch Ye Shikai enter the tomb. From the current situation, this relic is a huge treasure trove. If Ye Shikai goes in and gains some inheritance, his power will rise to fame, making it difficult to deal with him. He had tested Ye Shikai just now, and this grudge will definitely be avenged. Rather than waiting until Ye Shikai's power skyrockets, might as well now...

Tang Can glanced at Ji Qian, having heard that Ye Shikai and Ji Qian have a deep relationship, it seems just perfect to exploit this.

In a blink, Tang Can darted in front of Ji Qian, extending a palm to strike up, yet he was stopped by Wuyan stepping in, blocking it.

"Senior Tang doing this is probably not a good move," Ji Qian said, her face gloomy. Tang Can's attack was a stealthy one, and for a senior to ambush a junior is a particularly low method. If Ji Qian had to respond to this strike, it would indeed have been somewhat difficult to make it unharmed.

"Hmph, I've long heard this new Lady Ji of the Ji Family is deeply connected with the foreign Underworld, and as for that brat, Ye, he's probably a Main God from abroad as well." Tang Can glanced at the Moon Guards and Ye Shikai's new recruits, most of whom were foreign faces, forming a stark contrast with the Huaxia people.

"So what, I am now the Lady Ji of the Ji Family. You doing this is provoking our Ji Family. Even though this is Chang'an, so what, our Ji Family is not easy to bully." Ji Qian, being a Main God for so long, has seen countless grand formations. Even if the Death God stood in front of her, she wouldn't be afraid, let alone, Tang Can clearly is intimidating. If he had really struck to kill earlier, even Wuyan could hardly have blocked it.

"If that's the case, then please, Miss Ji, stop that person. How can the treasures of Huaxia fall into the hands of outsiders?" Tang Can shouted loudly.

"I didn't expect, a family leader, to use such a lame excuse to hide his selfishness." At this point, Wuyan scoffed coldly.

"And who are you?" Tang Can glanced at Wuyan, thinking she was a naive girl, his tone full of contempt.

"I am Wuyan, from the Worm Sect."

The sound of everyone taking a deep breath seemed audible in the air. Everyone in Huaxia knows about the Worm Sect, though located in Yun City, extremely mysterious, its worm skills and medical skills are unique, especially the worm skills. Though not visibly dangerous as weapons, their level of threat is such that even the strongest dare not speak arrogantly and disregard the Worm Sect. Taking Ye Shikai for example, he couldn't even handle a Single Love Poisonous Insect. If he were to encounter a worm that absorbs essence blood and brain marrow, he'd surely die unless Wuyan provided an antidote.

Besides, many families need to purchase many elixirs and poisonous herbs from the Worm Sect, meaning the Worm Sect's "clients" are spread throughout all of Huaxia, truly influential. Since great interests are involved, no family dares to offend the Worm Sect, moreover, the Worm Sect always stays neutral, giving no reason to be offended.

"So it's the Sect Leader of the Worm Sect, my apologies, my apologies," Tang Can said, bowing slightly. Although Wuyan is only eighteen, Tang Can dared only to treat her as an equal, even by seniority, they're mere peers, an evident acknowledgment of the Worm Sect's power.

"Since it's the Sect Leader of the Worm Sect, one should all the more join forces to deal with outsiders."

"I've heard before that the Tang Family Head and Miss Li were walking with him. Why not act then but shout here now?" Wuyan scoffed coldly, nakedly mocking.

"I was deceived, that's why I'm specially here to catch him now." Tang Can knew himself to be at fault, his tone now not as strong.

"So you have a part in it too, and yet you have the face to bark orders here?" Wuyan said, pulling Ji Qian away as she finished, leaving Tang Can, after being "scolded" by Wuyan, likely seething with anger.

"Tang Can won't rest so easily, he needs to be closely watched."

"I'm more worried about him now." Ji Qian showed a troubled look, glancing at the foot of the mountain. Right now everyone stood here, while the Ghost Soldiers showed no signs of relaxing, staring at everyone as though wanting to devour them, terrifyingly.

Indeed a strange thing to say, if dueling the Ghost General grants access into the tomb, why does only Ye Shikai receive this "treatment"? Earlier, Tang Can went up—why did the Ghost Soldiers immediately come up to drive him away? Logically, a Ghost General should have appeared to duel with Tang Can, right?

No matter how it is, keeping Tang Can out also helps buy Ye Shikai time, allowing him more time inside the tomb. Despite a maze of paths in the relic, all roads lead to the same destination, namely the tomb of Bai Qi on this mountain.

....................................

Escorted by the Ghost Soldiers, Ye Shikai arrived at the stone door. The military formation began to tighten around him, sealing off the path he had come, trapping Ye Shikai genuinely in the formation now.

During the match earlier, Ye Shikai was indeed somewhat worried, but now he instead felt at ease, despite being surrounded by Ghost Soldiers. If they were to turn and kill him, he'd surely die.

Ye Shikai watched as the stone door slowly opened. Surely, this duel was a "welcoming ceremony," indeed.

Step by step, Ye Shikai walked in, as he entered, the stone door slowly closed.

"Damn, what the hell is this, it's so dark." Ye Shikai couldn't help but complain. A cultivator's night vision ability is already significantly heightened, yet inside this mountain, it seemed ineffective, pitch black, unable to even see one's own fingers.

Ye Shikai took out a flashlight, finally illuminating a bit. Such a strange design, without the flashlight, he'd only be able to walk by feeling along the walls.

"Such a strong aura, this must be Bai Qi's tomb. I can feel... powerful energy." At this moment, the Sword Spirit spoke, seeming very "fond" of the atmosphere here.

"No kidding, apart from Bai Qi, who else would have thousands of people guarding?" Ye Shikai looked at the path ahead. Frankly, with such a "24/7" guard of Ghost Soldiers, even if there weren't so many obstacles, no one would be foolish enough to try storming through.

"No way, I need to hurry. If someone else comes in later, it would be a hassle." Ye Shikai still wasn't aware of the situation outside, now genuinely fighting alone. If Tang Can comes in wanting to kill him, Ye Shikai could only choose to flee.
