"Yes, we must leave immediately!"

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Pang Guang nodded heavily.

Jiang Chen turned and approached Yun Tao and the other three, carrying Yun Tao on his back and holding Sun Jingxuan.

Pang Guang saw this and promptly lifted Meng Fanjiang.

The two of them fully activated their spiritual power and rushed into the passage from which they came.

...

Outside the Ten Miles Array.

The people from various factions were staring intently at the distant tombstone, eyes filled with eagerness.

Swish, swish!

Two bulky figures darted out of the tombstone.

The crowd focused their gaze and saw Jiang Chen and Pang Guang carrying Yun Tao and the other three running out.

"Yun Tao!"

"Guang'er!"

"Jingxuan!"

The three Wine-crazed exclaimed in surprise, and stood at the edge of the array, ready to assist at any moment.

The members of other factions had a slight change in their expressions, with a hint of schadenfreude.

Swish, swish!

Jiang Chen and Pang Guang brought Yun Tao and the other three to the side of the Wine-crazed trio.

Wine-crazed took Yun Tao off Jiang Chen's back, touched his space ring, and retrieved two elixirs, giving one to Jiang Chen and directly feeding the other to Yun Tao.

Chen Zhenhua took over Sun Jingxuan, glanced at Meng Fanjiang whom Pang Guang had placed on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Poof!

Jiang Chen opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing onto the ground, stuffing the elixir into his mouth, ignoring Chen Zhenhua, and directly closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.

Chen Zhenhua was slightly taken aback and turned to look at Pang Guang.

The people from various factions also focused their attention on Pang Guang.

Pang Dahai handed an elixir to Pang Guang, saying with concern, "Guang'er, heal first, no rush!"

"Dad, I'm fine!"

Pang Guang swallowed the elixir, glaring fiercely at Wu Youliang, and said angrily, "We've been betrayed by the Wu Family!"

"You? What do you mean?"

"What happened in the tomb? Who else is alive?"

"What happened after Zhao Tianming left?"

The expressions of the people from various factions changed, and they hurriedly spoke.

"Seems like everyone already knows the earlier part!"

Pang Guang glanced at Li Mu and said solemnly, "After Li Mu and the others left..."

After recounting the latter events, Pang Guang glared at the members of the Wu Family:

"When I saw Wu Zhen at that time, I was puzzled. Even if the tomb after the Illusion Array was a false main tomb, there should still be something, yet Wu Zhen directly overlooked it.

When I returned and met Young Master Jiang and the others, I realized there was something there, a Killing Array, Young Master Jiang and the others triggered the Killing Array, Sun Cheng was killed by it, and Young Master Jiang and the others were all severely injured!

In the end, we realized we couldn't resist the two from the Wu Family, so we escaped from the tomb!"

Pang Guang's words completely exonerated Jiang Chen and the others.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes and glanced at Pang Guang, who secretly signaled him.

With a slight pause, Jiang Chen nodded subtly.

Pang Guang was helping him; if he didn't say it this way, what happened to Jiang Chen and the others would be hard to explain if they said it themselves.

The eruption of the Killing Array led to the death of the weakest two, yet the strongest one died and another was near death, which simply doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

However, when Pang Guang confidently stated it, as if he had witnessed it himself, the people from various factions instinctively believed him.

Moreover, there was now an even more important task to accomplish.

"Wu Youliang, what does your Wu Family mean by this?"

"Using formations to kill so many of us, and now suddenly attacking the survivors, it seems your Wu Family had planned to monopolize the treasures in the tomb!"

"Damn it! Your Wu Family has treated us as cannon fodder?"

"Daring to toy with all the forces in Shenmu Prefecture, your Wu Family has some nerve!"

The people from various factions spoke out to denounce the Wu Family.

"Silence!"

An explosive shout rang out, and an imposing presence filled the black forest, a thin figure appeared beside Wu Youliang.

"Ancestor!"

"Greetings, Elder!"

"Paying respects to Elder!"

The members of the Wu Family bowed and saluted.

"Wu Family Elder?!"

"He actually came in person!"

"This..."

The people from various factions were shocked.

From that intense pressure of the Great Dao, everyone felt a strong sense of oppression, and the experts at the Unity Realm Stage from various factions had their expressions change.

Jiang Chen turned to look at the thin figure, and his eyes flashed with coldness.

The Wu Family Elder? Wu Qian?

"Old Wu, you came personally? Looks like this time, it was a trap set by your Wu Family!"

Others were afraid of Wu Qian, but Wine-crazed showed no fear, speaking icily.

"Wine-crazed, I didn't expect you to be here too. Your disciple may be injured, but he obtained the Town Soul Stele, we are even!"

Wu Qian seemed to be wary of Wine-crazed.

Wine-crazed snorted coldly: "My disciple obtained the Town Soul Stele because of his remarkable talent, it recognized him automatically, which has nothing to do with your Wu Family!"

"That's not correct!"

Wu Qian slightly shook his head: "If it weren't for me triggering this large tomb, your disciple wouldn't have received the Town Soul Stele, right?"

Wine-crazed was slightly stunned and fell silent.

"Wu Elder, what do you mean by this?"

Chen Zhenhua's eyes showed a trace of confusion, and the faces of the people from various factions looked displeased, seemingly realizing they had been duped!

"Can't you understand?"

Wu Qian glanced indifferently at Chen Zhenhua, not fearing him like he did Wine-crazed.

Scanning the crowd, Wu Qian said coldly, "I brought out the large tomb to retrieve what the master left behind. Why are you crowding in? It's generous of me not to expel you. What? Want to hold my Wu Family accountable for tomb exploration casualties? Should I charge you for trespassing in my master's tomb?"

Everyone was stunned, suddenly enlightened, their eyes revealing anger but not daring to express it.

Wu Qian, in the Late Integration Realm, replaced Wine-crazed as the strongest present, making the forces from Shenmu Prefecture dare express anger but unable to verbalize it.

"A smart move by the Wu Family, now I finally understand!"

Wine-crazed sneered: "I suspect the absence of Shenmu Prefecture's Prefecture Master is due to your secret message, isn't it? Although Shenmu Prefecture is on the edge of Mingqian Realm, Fan Mingzhong was a loyal supporter of the Domain Lord. If I'm right, this trap was jointly orchestrated by your Wu Family and Fan Mingzhong, right? Even without the Molten Fire Town incident, he would find an excuse to leave, am I correct?"

The people from various factions suddenly realized the truth; it all made sense now. Even though Molten Fire Town had been massacred, it wasn't enough to make the Prefecture Master investigate personally, especially not abandoning the search for the Shadowless Sword Emperor's tomb.

Reflecting on the events after the tomb of the Shadowless Sword Emperor appeared, everyone felt a heaviness in their hearts.

There was indeed something fishy going on!
