Chapter 127 - Confronting
Jian and Song Yu have started to walk towards the top of the mountain. They don\'t have any clue about the trials or the tomb. They are still searching for something related to the tomb.
While walking towards the Jian had kept an eye open for the clues of anyone who had come here aside from them. But after walking for half
An hour they were not able to find anything.
Since they couldn\'t get any clues, it was pointless to continue to move forward. They had to make a plan which cal help in search of the trials.
"Do you know anything about the trials?"
Jian was getting annoyed to the point where he stopped and directly questioned Song Yu. Song Yu didn\'t expect him to ask her so she was shocked.
."Master Jianyu I also don\'t know anything about this tomb. This is my first time coming to explore the tomb."
"Cut the bull shit, I know that you are from the clan of Heavenly Warriors and you are also cultivating the cultivation technique of the Heavenly Warrior."
Hearing this she immediately jumped back and took out her sword. Jian saw her reaction and knew that he was right about her. Although the system had told him but to confirm the info he had to directly ask her.
" No need to worry, if I wanted to harm you, you would have been already dead. You can\'t do anything to me with your cultivation. So relax"
Song Yu frowned, she knew that she was weaker than him but she had always thought that she will be able to run from him if the problem arise but the pressure Jian emitted had stopped her in her tracks.
She was not able to move an inch. She felt like she is standing in presence of the beasts and if she makes a wrong move she will be gone.
Jian lessened the pressure and then Song Yu kept the sword back. But she didn\'t go near him.
" So tell me everything you know about the tomb.?"
Jian had lessened the pressure but he had not removed it completely. From the time they left the city. She has been hiding something from him. Even when she got inside the tomb she didn\'t explain anything.
Although Jian didn\'t expect anything from her. He had just come to help her gain the inheritance but she had not communicated with him about the tomb. He knows she knew something about the and was waiting for him to explain.
But even after entering the tomb, she had not spoken a word. She would continue to look at the top of the mountain and then she would check sideways.
If he doesn\'t know anything, how can he help her get the inheritance? He have had enough of her antics and got annoyed. He was wasting his time for her. If not for the mission board then he would have already returned.
He looked at her and saw that she had become wary of him. She was still struggling to stand under Jian\'s pressure. He directly looked her in the eye.
"Do you think I care for this tomb? If not for the mission board I would have not come here even if a heaven grade physique was in the inheritance.
So you should explain yourself otherwise I will be leaving you and I can guarantee that you would not survive the tomb."
Jian had already felt two-star beasts near them. But due to Jian emitting pressure, they didn\'t dare to come. So he knew the more forward they move the powerful beasts will be present.
So he was confident that she will have a hard time. Even though she has the same cultivation technique as the Heavenly Warrior but she is not completely qualified if she was the one she would have directly reached the trials.
Both kept looking at each other. They were checking to see who succumbs first and as expected Song Yu avoided his gaze and sighed.
Jian also removed the pressure, he knew that she is going to talk. After the pressure was removed she moved towards Jian and bowed.
"I am sorry for keeping the information hidden from you Master Jianyu.
As you know, I am from the clan of Heavenly Warriors and I have specifically Joined Meng Shu\'s entourage for coming here in the search for the tomb.
I have had only heard that there is a tomb which was not been explored in fifty years so find out more I Joined Meng Shu and didn\'t expect the tomb to be of a Heavenly Warrior.
I immediately didn\'t get the chance to explore the tomb. First I had to gain enough trust from Meng Shu so that I can ask her for permission to explore the tomb.
But didn\'t expect her to give it to me this easily. But I had not expected that you were the reason she had permitted them to explore the tomb."
Jian frowned hearing her talk about Meng Shu. Although it was a good thing she had started to explain herself the way she was talking about Meng Shu, Jian felt something was not right.
" What do you know about Meng Shu?"
Song Yu didn\'t know why Jian asked her this but she knew a wrong answer would be bad for her so she immediately answered.
"All I know is that her father is some big shot elder of the Soaring Cloud Pavilion and her master is elder from the Sect Tower.
So I used this connection to find out more about the tombs and other things."
Jian couldn\'t help but feel pity for her. Although her plan was good she has not investigated Meng Shu and her connections thoroughly. He was able to tell that aside from this she doesn\'t know anything about Meng Shu.
Jian was curious about one thing but he had already expected her answer but he still asked her.
"What were your plans after you get the inheritance?"
And he had expected she replied in the same manner.
"I had planned to go back to my clan after getting the inheritance."
Jian couldn\'t help but shake his head after hearing her reply. He felt bad for her. He knew that Meng Shu know who Song Yu is and due to connections between Heavenly Warriors and Sect Tower she had not done anything.
He knew if another person was there who took advantage of Meng Shu he would have been already dead. Although Meng Shu would not do anything but the power behind her is a different matter.
He didn\'t say anything else to Song Yu. He decided to let her make her own decisions because he knew that Meng Shu knows about Song Yu\'s plan.
"What do you know about the tomb?"
" I only know that only qualified persons can enter it. And you have to reach the top of the mountain to take part in the main trial.
The mountain is divided into three parts. Meaning it has three peaks and each one is higher than the other. On each peak, you will face a trial and after passing the trial then only you will be allowed to move forward.
The main trial is on the last peak and in between climbing towards the top of the mountain there are multiple caves where you can find anything and there are some dangers also."
Jian was shocked hearing her information. This was the main information he needed to further plan his exploration of the tomb. He looked at me with an angry expression.
If she knew this much about the tomb then she should have already shared it with him. This time he was angry with her.
Song Yu saw his angry face and knew that he was right to get angry become she had not shared any information with him. She was ashamed and didn\'t dare to look Jian in the eye.
Jian shook his head and started to climb a tree. Since the mountain was covered in sky towering trees he had to climb to the top to see the mountain.
In few minutes he was standing at the top. He was able to see three peaks with different heights and Thunder clouds gathered around them. Then he focused on the mountains and was able to see many entrances to the caves.
Song Yu\'s information was right and after confirming then that he jumped and landed in front of her. Now that he had enough information he is going to form a plan before he starts exploring. He had felt a presence other than himself and Song Yu.
As he landed he and Song Yu walked to a side and hid behind a tree. He immediately started to discuss further their plans. He didn\'t inform Song Yu about the presence he felt because he had to confirm it before he does anything about it.
They started to discuss and with knowing an hour has passed and now they have a complete plan which would make it easier for them to explore the tomb.
