Chapter 265: Chapter 265: Captured

After entering the Sword Tomb, Han Dong led the way entirely. Deciding which tomb chambers to enter was also up to Han Dong.

Chu Feng was secretly relieved that he had previously given Han Dong a Puppet Elixir in advance. There was no need to worry about Han Dong harboring any ulterior motives.

Otherwise, if Han Dong used any sneaky tricks, Chu Feng might have ended up in a bad situation.

"Eh, why is there no path ahead?"

The trio initially had smooth progress. As they navigated through the maze-like tomb chambers, they hadn’t encountered any dead ends.

But this time, after entering the large tomb chamber ahead, they discovered that this chamber had no exits. This meant that they had entered a dead end.

Either they would have to backtrack the way they came, or they would be trapped to die inside.

The tomb chamber was especially large, with a huge stone coffin in the center.

Unlike normal tombs, inside the stone coffin was not the body of some important person but a sword.

Almost every chamber had a coffin, which invariably contained a Treasure Sword.

This stone coffin was unusually large, and someone had already smashed it.

The Treasure Sword inside was long gone.

Inside, there were two sword holders, indicating that this coffin might have contained two Treasure Swords.

Like some large coffins that house both a man and a woman, this coffin held a pair of Dual Swords.

"Han Dong, are you sure you didn’t take a wrong turn?" Chu Feng asked.

"Absolutely not, the map from my ancestors is drawn this way," Han Dong said very seriously after taking out the Jade Scroll and checking it against his forehead.

Could it be that Han Dong’s ancestor had drawn the wrong path?

Chu Feng felt that this possibility was extremely slight. Attaining the Sword God Level, both memory and recognition skills were terrifying, almost akin to the existence of a Divine Soul.

"Look around, there should be a secret passage or mechanism!"

Having extensive experience, Chu Feng immediately thought of this possibility.

He, along with Liu Qiang and Han Dong, immediately began searching all around the chamber.

However, they found nothing.

Just as the three felt discouraged and were about to give up, Chu Feng glanced at the shattered stone coffin and instinctively walked over.

"You two, clear these broken stones away."

As the leader, Chu Feng naturally didn’t need to do this kind of work himself. He ordered Liu Qiang and Han Dong to do it.

Soon, the broken stones were cleared away, and Chu Feng approached the front of the coffin to carefully examine it. Soon, he made a gratifying discovery. After sweeping away the dust and debris on the ground, a Tai Chi pattern appeared before his eyes.

It was engraved right in front of the stone coffin.

"Two elements, Tai Chi, four symbols, and eight trigrams are all commonly used methods for setting up Array Mechanisms. This Tai Chi pattern is very likely the button to trigger the mechanism," Chu Feng said, confident in his guess.

He immediately began to study the Tai Chi pattern and even reached out to press on it.

Click!

The moment he pressed on the eyes between the black and white Yin and Yang Fish, a miraculous scene occurred. Both eyes simultaneously sank down.

"The mechanism is indeed here," exclaimed Chu Feng, overjoyed.

Liu Qiang and Han Dong were also exceptionally delighted.

Boom!

On the wall, a stone gate burst open. Before it was opened, it fit so seamlessly with the surrounding stone wall that no abnormalities could be seen at all.

"Haha, you three have been sneaking around, and indeed you’re no simple ones." An old and strange laughter rang out, followed by a green-robed elder who flew in.

This elder had only one eye, and atop his head were revolting pustules. Under his feet, large blisters could be discerned.

This man’s strength was extraordinarily terrifying.

Because the elder was riding a treasure sword, flying half a meter above the ground.

No wonder even Chu Feng hadn’t noticed being followed. This man had been flying silently in the air all along, making him extremely difficult to detect.

Being able to perform Sword Flight, this ability was possessed only by those with cultivation above the Sword Saint Level.

"Damn it, caught by a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I was careless."

Chu Feng’s heart sank, knowing he had encountered great trouble this time.

This Green Robed Elder, with just one look one could tell he was of the sort with a ruthless heart and deep strategies. With such immense strength, Chu Feng and the two others were now completely in jeopardy, controlled by this elder.

"Speak, what use does that ancestral map you mentioned have?"

The Green Robed Elder’s Sword Domain enveloped the entire tomb chamber, his foot on a treasure sword, and he even drew another sword from his back with an intense evil qi staring at Chu Feng and the others.

"It’s best not to lie in front of this old man, or else there is only one way out—death."

Chu Feng’s mind churned with various ideas to deal with the enemy, but ultimately, he dismissed them.

Han Dong was completely controlled by Chu Feng like a puppet. But Liu Qiang was not.

And Liu Qiang held deep resentment towards him, previously Liu Qiang knew he was no match for Chu Feng, so he dared not show the slightest amount.

Now with the addition of this Sword Saint Level elder, Liu Qiang along with Chu Feng and Han Dong, all became captives of the elder. He immediately began to plot.

"Old sir, I am willing to confess, tell you everything I know!" Liu Qiang’s eyes rolled around, and he respectfully said immediately to the Green Robed Elder.

Chu Feng glared at Liu Qiang, who acted as if he saw nothing.

"This damned Liu Qiang, had I known this variable, I should not have spared him." Back when Chu Feng was outside, there was no opportunity to kill Liu Qiang. Now that they have entered the tomb chamber, he could completely kill Liu Qiang.

After all, no one else knows about it.

Han Dong, having consumed the Puppet Elixir, would certainly not betray Chu Feng. Nor would he leak any information.

"The truly important person is him!" Liu Qiang pointed at Han Dong. "The map was passed down by his ancestors, and it leads directly to the Demon Suppression Tower..."

After listening, the elder searched Han Dong and took out a Jade Scroll, scrutinizing it thoroughly, he immediately believed Liu Qiang’s words.

"Lead the way ahead, and if you dare to play any tricks or take the wrong route, don’t blame this old man for being impolite."

The Green Robed Elder said viciously.

Han Dong had no choice but to lead the way. Seeing how things had progressed to this point, Chu Feng couldn’t help but feel the urge to leave.

Entering the Demon Suppression Tower, definitely isn’t limited to this single route.

It’s just that this route is safer, merely a shortcut.

"Senior, you see, only Han Dong is useful. We have weak cultivation and would only be a burden... Could you let us go? To avoid holding you back," Chu Feng pleaded.

"Heh heh, since you’ve come, then don’t think about leaving. The Demon Suppression Tower is extremely dangerous, you two will serve as pathfinders,"

The Green Robed Elder was unwilling to let Chu Feng leave.

Sounds nice to have Chu Feng serve as a pathfinder, but in reality, he wanted him to be cannon fodder.

"Let’s go!"

Forcibly pressed by the Green Robed Elder, Chu Feng had no choice but to honestly follow along. In his hand, he precisely clutched two extremely powerful Talismanic Elixirs. If he truly had to fight desperately, although he was no match for the Green Robed Elder, making an opportunity to escape should be possible.
