When Ciel and the other two got off the carriage, they couldn’t help but be surprised at the number of people following behind them.
The sky seemed to be full of people, even giving the impression that they were a swarm of bees. There were even some Demigods hiding among the people.
However, there was one striking similarity between them all. From their expressions, it looked like they just wanted to watch.
“Well, after I’m done, you guys can do whatever you want,” Ciel said to them before turning around, taking a step forward.
Currently, they were actually in the area of the giant mountains.
However, in front of them was a smaller mountain.
The key in Ciel’s hand directed him to that mountain, which meant the entrance was there.
Not wanting to bother searching, Ciel activated the power of the Eyes of Heaven.
With those eyes, he instantly discovered a faint thin aura collection that could barely be sensed.
It was coming from the iron gate hidden behind the mass of vines.
The gate seemed very old, already full of rust, but it still gave an oppressive feeling to Ciel who observed it.
After that, Ciel pointed his finger at the area where the gate was and looked at Jian Wuxin.
“Help me get rid of those vines,” he told her.
Their numbers were actually very large, it would take a very strong swordsman to get rid of them.
Fortunately Ciel had Jian Wuxin by her side.
The woman didn’t nod and such in response to his words, instead she leaped straight into the air, appearing in front of the vines.
The sword that had beheaded Bernard came out of its sheath again, looking even more ferocious than before.
Whoosh!
She slashed the sword forward. It did not hit the vines, nor did it produce any phenomenon like creating thousands of sword slashes.
People who saw the sword movement were even made to think that Jian Wuxin was just practicing by slashing through the air.
However, even without the phenomenon, the effect quickly became apparent.
All the vines were cut into tiny leaves, so small that they could be directly used as condiments.
They tumbled down, leaving the gate behind them.
People were more interested in the gate, so they instantly forgot about Jian Wuxin’s sword slash.
Their eyes shone brightly, showing their greed.
Even if the Mountain King was only a Demigod, his treasure was enough to make all the cultivators under the God Realm enamored.
However, he wasn’t just a Demigod, he was actually a young man with an unreasonable cultivation speed, and it was believed by many that he had an incomparable treasure.
If it really existed, it must be within that tomb.
Right at the right side of the gate, there was a small hole that was almost invisible. People would not have noticed it if not for the faint light emanating from it.
Ciel narrowed his eyes towards that hole.
After which, he threw the key in his hand there.
Whoosh!
It quickly moved towards the hole, and landed right in it.
Click!
The key apparently turned itself, producing a faint sound.
Right after that, the gate suddenly shook violently and the vibrations extended to the entire mountainous area. Some mountains even exploded instantly.
“The entire tomb is down below,” people said, seemingly excited even though they had originally only come to watch.
However, they also had high hopes because Ciel had previously said that they could enter after he was done.
Given Ciel’s background, they thought he would only take the mysterious treasure, he should have ignored the others since the Ice Palace had more resources.
As long as Ciel left the resources hidden in the tomb, they were already quite satisfied that they could fight over them.
Slowly, the gate began to open, revealing the space behind it.
There, there was a passage surrounded by red-colored stone walls.
It was difficult to see further as it was really very dark and light could not enter due to its position.
However, since it was connected to the outside world, people suddenly smelled the fragrance of various rare herbs.
“As expected, the Mountain King has destroyed quite a few sects on his journey. He has plundered their resources so the resources he has are more than most Fourth Stage Demigods.” Some old man said.
“Yeah, I’m sure there are quite a few who can help us break through,” another replied.
“I just hope the Demigods can’t get in. That way, we’ll be the biggest players there.”
“Too bad we can’t know until we try.”
“…”
On the other side, Ciel looked at Mu Yixue and the other Ice Palace disciples.
He said, “follow me!”
After that, he took a step.
However, at the same time, a black-haired female figure suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost.
She quickly attracted people’s attention.
Of course, she was Kaiya.
Seeing her, Mu Yixue immediately saluted and greeted her.
“Senior sister,” she said softly.
Kaiya nodded to Mu Yixue before saying to Ciel, “Prince, let me try to enter, if it works, things will be easier for you.”
Apparently, she wanted to investigate the tomb. 𝑂𝑣𝓵xt.𝑪𝐎𝑚
Of course, when talking about Kaiya, it wasn’t just about whether or not the tomb could be entered by Demigods.
Even if the tomb did not allow Demigods, that case might not apply to Kaiya since she had a very extraordinary ability to hide, or even deceive the eyes of others.
Because of that ability, she could naturally deceive the formation on that tomb.
Ciel nodded in response. Her help was indeed much needed. His safety can be assured with the formations inside his body, even attacking hidden monsters won’t be difficult with Mu Yixue and Jian Wuxin by his side.
However, all obstacles could be removed quickly if Kaiya also came along.
After Ciel nodded, Kaiya immediately moved.
She flew slowly to the entrance of the tomb, observed by everyone, especially the Demigods.
Unfortunately, when she arrived in front of the entrance, a faint light shaped like a shield suddenly appeared, blocking her steps.
When she touched it, the entire mountain range shook again.
“Failure!” The Demigods were instantly disappointed when they saw that.
Maybe they could force it with force, but the result could be worse as the tomb could have destroyed itself.
However, just when they were disappointed, Kaiya suddenly moved backwards before advancing again.
This time, she moved so fast that no one could see her anymore.
Surprisingly, after that she completely disappeared.
