C1155 Shadow

The golden man was strong and unbreakable; the skysilk threads were tough and unbreakable. Thus, in a situation where he was unable to use brute force to attack, Lin Bai came up with a plan. The 12 Gold Men's movements were controlled by the Celestial Silkworm. As long as the 12 Gold Men's threads were coiled around each other, they would be able to stop the 12 Gold Men's movements and break through this situation.

However, if he wanted the 12 Gold Man's skysilk threads to intertwine together, he would have to carefully calculate it in order to do so. However, calculating the positions of the twelve goldmen wasn't a difficult task for Lin Bai, who was well versed in the twelve word calculation. But even so, he still used the illusion techniques recorded in the He Tu Luo book, in order to achieve complete mastery.

"I don't believe that I can't take your life in this small world!" Fu Chengguang's eyes widened. He didn't think that there would be such a huge change in the situation. Back at Lishan, he'd been ridiculed by Lin Bai in every possible way. He thought that he could hold Lin Bai in this small world, but to his surprise, Lin Bai had taken him on as a general instead, causing all his plans to fail.

As he said those words, Fu Chengguang crazily pulled on the skysilk threads in his hands, trying to pull them apart so that the twelve golden men could unleash their previous fighting strength. But no matter how hard he tried, those threads were still like a mess, and the Twelve Golden Men were like frozen statues, unable to make any other movements.

"When I say idiots, I mean idiots. No matter when, no matter where, it can't cover up this essence." Lin Bai smirked and slowly stood up. He urged the blood energy around his body and tightly grabbed onto one of the Golden Man's arms, throwing it behind him. He then sneered, "Fu Chengguang, get the hell over here!"

The twelve golden men were trapped, their hands no longer agile like they were before. To Lin Bai, who had reached the Nascent Realm, lifting this kind of dead thing was naturally nothing. As the sound of his voice faded, Golden Man was sent flying behind Lin Bai like a kite with its string cut. He then fell heavily onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Following the appearance of the golden man, there was even a burst of 'crackling' sounds in the air. Amongst the twelve golden men and Fu Chengguang, the machinery that was as heavy as a thousand catty immediately broke apart. Then, it pulled Fu Chengguang who was holding onto the other thread flying forward, falling straight in front of Lin Bai.

"Didn't you just swear to kill me, to destroy the Hidden Dragon Cave? How did you end up in my hands?" Lin Bai sneered. He slowly raised his hand and lifted the ashen-faced Fu Chengguang up from the ground after he fell. He then tightly held onto his neck and continued indifferently, "Tell me honestly, who sent you?"

"Aren't you smart? Could it be that you still can't figure out who wanted to kill you?" Fu Chengguang was a bachelor, so he knew that he would not have any chance of survival this time around. After sneering, he said with overflowing hatred: "If I can't kill you today, there will naturally be someone to kill you for me in the future! Furthermore, from my point of view, I am afraid that you will not even be able to leave the Emperor's Tomb.

True master! Upon hearing Fu Chengguang's words, hatred immediately welled in Lin Bai's heart. Other than this person, he could not think of anyone else who could give a clown like Fu Chengguang the means to control the Twelve Golden Men by entering and leaving the Emperor's mausoleum. Besides, only Master Lao Shi would know his whereabouts and know about the matter of Chen Bai Mian's injuries.

However, what confused Lin Bai was that according to his calculations, that person's cultivation base was probably above his own at the Deity Stage, perhaps even above his own. He might even be able to walk the unknown path ahead of him. However, why would a true master who possessed such powerful battle prowess not personally take action against him? Instead, he would send out people like Zhao Jingting and Fu Chengguang to act against him.

He felt that things were definitely not as Zhao Jingting had said. True Master Lao Shi was planning to watch him grow stronger step by step before giving him a hard time, but that person had other plans. Otherwise, he would not have exchanged the thousand years of Zhao Song's legacy, World Tree, for it. That person must be plotting something terrifying right now.

The reason why he had sent out Zhao Jingting and Fu Chengguang, these clowns, was to give himself some trouble and to delay his advancement, so that he could have enough time to prepare what he wanted to do.

"What other dangers are there in the tomb of the First Emperor? What did Master Lao Shi tell you? Where is he?" He pinched Fu Chengguang's neck and said, "If you are willing to cooperate and tell me everything, maybe I can spare your life and let you live on in this world."

"If you want to know, then go inside!" However, even under the threat of death, his hatred still did not diminish. With a savage smile on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, I will curse you under the nine hells and have you and Liao Manyun be eternally restless!"

"I originally wanted to spare you on account of the past relationship between your Fu family and Man Yun, but since you're unwilling to cooperate, then don't blame me for not showing mercy!" Upon hearing these words, the corners of Lin Bai's eyes slightly twitched. Killing intent was revealed on his face, and as he slightly exerted his bloody right hand, a bone shattering sound that would cause one's teeth to ache rang out from Fu Chengguang's neck.

Fu Chengguang's body fell limply to the ground as soon as he spread out his hands. His face was pale and his tongue was stretched out. He was only able to exhale and no longer had the energy to exhale. Looking at Fu Chengguang's miserable state, even the two brothers from the Tang Clan couldn't help but take in a few breaths of cold air when they saw that a conflict of interest had arisen between them.

He made his move as soon as he said he would. He made his decision to kill. They truly could not believe that the young man before them, who had taken Fu Chengguang's life with a single hand, was the Lin Bai who had been courteous to them earlier, the one who had spoken so modestly to them.

In reality, Lin Bai did not wish to deal with Cheng Guang's vicious attacks. However, he was even more clear that if he released Fu Chengguang now, not only would this person not be grateful to him, he might even continue to seek the help of a true teacher, harming Lin Bai or Liao Manyun. For the sake of Liao Manyun and Liuzhen's safety, Lin Bai would not allow such a deviation, so Fu Chengguang had to die!

"Youngest junior brother, there won't really be any danger within the tomb, right?" Zhang San Kuang glanced at the misty scene in front of him and asked carefully as he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He could clearly hear what Fu Chengguang had said just now. One had to know that if Fu Chengguang was truly supported by that so-called true master, perhaps the words he spoke would not be false.

Furthermore, ever since they entered the Emperor Tomb, they had encountered many dangers. First, it was the ancient Archaic Descendant, Serpent Cultivator. Then, it was the twelve goldmen's thread puppet, which was filled with killing intent. Who knew what strange things were at the core of the tomb of the First Emperor!

Therefore, Zhang Sanming was now truly worried. However, what he was worried about was not the loss of his life, but whether he could successfully retrieve the immortal medicine and wake up Chen Baian who was in deep sleep.

"No matter how difficult it is, we've already met with it before. Are we really that afraid of this?" Lin Bai smiled and shook his head. He kicked Fu Chengguang's corpse far away and said, "Who cares about what's in front of you, we'll kill God and Buddha. No matter who it is, as long as they stop me from taking out the elixir, I'll make sure they'll fight to the death with him."

"The danger is unavoidable. How could the initial emperor let people easily enter the core of his tomb?" Having been working underground for most of his life, Ninth Master Qin had long ceased seeing matters of life and death. Fu Chengguang's death was like a splash of water on his heart, "Let's go. There probably aren't any traps in this little world. Let's find that bastard Li San."

In actuality, to Ninth Master Qin, Fu Chengguang was much less of a threat than Li San. It was not because Fu Chengguang's cultivation was inferior to Li San's, but because of Li San's greedy nature, the Emperor Tomb had many nether artifacts, and countless treasures. If this kid had any ulterior motives and sold some national treasure to the foreigners, he would be guilty of a heinous crime.

When the crowd heard Ninth Master Qin's words, they didn't delay any further and carefully made their way to the depths of the tomb.

On the way here, everyone discovered that the term 'necropolis' was actually far from enough to describe the tomb of the First Emperor. In reality, the tomb of the First Emperor was a huge cave that had been excavated from the bottom of Mount Li. Not only that, the deeper they went, the more shocked the crowd became.

The place they were heading to was a barren wasteland. Aside from the thick fog, there were no other signs. Furthermore, the surrounding mountain rocks seemed to be eroded, with faint white spots on them, as if they would break apart with a slight touch. And on the rocks here, there were no moss that could be seen anywhere when they first entered the tomb.

In this place, it was as if their life force had been completely severed. There did not seem to be any immortal medicine.

"Look, what's that?" Just as everyone was feeling bewildered, Zhang Sanmang pointed to the front of the shadow and swallowed his saliva, before asking in a trembling voice, "Why are there two figures there?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. They were afraid that they would run into the Twelve Golden Men again. They hurriedly put up their guards and turned their heads to look ahead. Everyone involuntarily inhaled a breath of cold air when they looked over.

Following the direction where Zhang San Kuang was pointing, they saw a spacious area. In this spacious area, there was an extremely tall stone chair and on the stone chair sat a black shadow. Although they were far away, the spectators could still feel the intense pressure radiating from the black figure that was almost one with the darkness.

The most surprising thing was that in front of the stone chair, there was a black shadow kneeling on the ground. That black figure seemed to be chewing on something as it followed his directions, continuously emitting 'kacha kacha' sounds towards the outside …
