Having killed the three people from the Golden Holy Door, Su Chengyu committed the Chaotic Sword Code firmly to memory and instructed Yu Yanshu and Lin Chuxue to remember the secret manual as well. They then proceeded to the central tomb chamber.
Outside the ancient tomb, Zhou Li and others were waiting in their campsite for news, sitting around the fire and chitchatting.
At that moment, Zhou Li's ear twitched as he heard some noise. Instantly alert, he shouted, "Who's there?"
Hearing Zhou Li's shout, the rest also instantly rose to prepare for battle, each drawing their weapons.
"Brother Li, don't scare us. We didn't hear anything!"
Zhou Li intently eyed the trees ahead of him, lost in darkness with faint views of the swaying branches. The quiet forest seemed to be hiding a ferocious beast.
"I heard the sound of a broken twig. Get ready and stay alert."
Zhou Li held a long knife in his hand, his eyes glued to the pitch-dark forest.
"You've got sharp senses; good hearing."
