Chapter 1228 1139: Sucked Away

Wang Yan didn't answer Hu Yiyi. With a flick of his right hand, an array flag was immediately stuck into the ground.

Before the shock on Hu Yiyi's face could completely fade away, another Wind-Still Banner appeared in Wang Yan's hand.

"There... there's still another one?" Hu Yiyi was so shocked that he started to stutter.

Before Hu Yiyi finished speaking, Wind-Still Banners kept appearing in Wang Yan's hand.

Three,

five,

ten...

In just a moment, thirty-six array flags were placed on the ground.

Hu Yiyi was dumbfounded.

It was said that gathering 36 Wind-Still Banners made one the top tomb raider in the world. Could this young man be pretending to be weak while actually being the best tomb raider?

At this moment, Wang Yan lightly pointed at the 36 array flags before him and said, "Break an array with an array."

The 36 array flags suddenly shook and then disappeared.

With the disappearance of these 36 array flags, the waterwave patterns on the eight stone doors in the tomb chamber appeared, and after a few trembles, they vanished, leaving only the original stone door.

It turned out that these eight stone doors were just an illusion array.

Wang Yan used array flags to form a grand array, breaking the illusion array before them.

With Wang Yan's current array expertise, it was a simple feat.

However, Hu Yiyi was astounded, his mouth agape, drool dripping out.

It was a while before Hu Yiyi murmured, "Could what I'm seeing be the long-lost Positioning Gold Division Divine Skill?"

Thinking of this, Hu Yiyi scrambled up from the ground, knelt in front of Wang Yan, his single eye gleaming with excitement as he shouted, "Senior, please forgive this junior's lack of insight and accept me as your apprentice."

Seeing Hu Yiyi, known as the Tomb Raider Ancestor, kneel before Wang Yan, the two disciples of Hu Yiyi were stunned.

But a moment later, they immediately came to their senses, promptly kneeling behind Hu Yiyi, and shouted, "Master-ancestor, please accept your disciples' bow."

Hu Yiyi was already an old man, and his two disciples, both middle-aged men in their forties or fifties, now knelt before Wang Yan, appearing very obedient.

Since they had found the Outer Guan Qin Family, a fierce battle was likely coming, so Wang Yan didn't want to take Hu Yiyi and the others with him.

Looking at Hu Yiyi kneeling in front of him, Wang Yan said, "You want to learn my Positioning Gold Division Skill?"

Hu Yiyi nodded vigorously like a pecking chick.

Wang Yan said, "I will pass on to you the 36 array flags and the Positioning Gold Division Skill, but you must leave here."

Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Hu Yiyi hesitated for a moment before nodding, "I understand, Master."

For a tomb raider like Hu Yiyi, the Qin Mausoleum was also a tempting prize.

But giving up such a big prize was also a matter of choice.

However, after thinking it over, Hu Yiyi decided to choose the Positioning Gold Division Skill and the 36 array flags.

After all, the Qin Mausoleum was an immovable object, something he could always come back to.

In fact, Wang Yan was doing Hu Yiyi a favor since he was entering the very dangerous Outer Guan Qin Family.

Wang Yan couldn't even ensure his own safety, let alone protect these ordinary people.

After all, Hu Yiyi had helped him find this place, which was a kind of help to him.

Seeing that Hu Yiyi agreed, Wang Yan raised his hand, collected the 36 array flags from the ground, and handed them to Hu Yiyi. He then recited eight lines of incantation to him.

These eight lines of incantation were merely the most basic foundation of the Array path, but for Hu Yiyi, they were exceedingly profound.

Hu Yiyi dared not say a word, immediately perking up his ears, listening and silently reciting, committing these eight lines to memory.

Hu Yiyi's two disciples also understood the seriousness of the moment, hastily memorizing attentively.

But these eight lines were abstruse and difficult, and with their insufficient skills, the two disciples felt dizzy and nearly fell over as they tried to memorize them.

They barely managed to recall two and a half lines once their heads cleared.

Even Hu Yiyi, though he remembered the eight lines, couldn't understand their meaning.

Though keen to grasp the significance, he was exhausted and couldn't muster the energy to think anymore.

Upon realizing this, Hu Yiyi and his two disciples were astounded, only now understanding the terrifying competence of the young man before them.

They respectfully kowtowed three times to Wang Yan. When they raised their heads again, they found that Wang Yan and his group of five were nowhere to be seen.

Hu Yiyi and his two disciples understood that the appearance and disappearance were the mark of a true master.

They once again respectfully kowtowed three times in the direction where Wang Yan had stood, turned around, left the tomb chamber, and returned to Chang'an City, diligently pondering over the eight lines of incantation.

Years later, after Hu Yiyi's death, his two disciples used these eight incantations to bring the Tomb Raider Race to prominence again.

However, the two disciples had different understandings of the incantations, gradually dividing the Tomb Raider Race into two factions, each with its own glory.

Though people believed the Tomb Raider Race began in the Three Kingdoms period, they were unaware that by the modern era, the Tomb Raider Race had long ceased to exist.

Its true splendor, however, began with Wang Yan's teachings.

Wang Yan led Beiming Xue, Fang Jinchun, and their group of five, deep into the underground passages.

Yet as they walked, they found these passages nearly endless, seemingly going around in circles around some point.

After approximately half a day's journey, Wang Yan stopped and said, "It seems I underestimated the Outer Guan Qin Family."

Fang Jinchun said, "That's right, we've been circling for so long, actually just going in circles. The entire underground is covered by a massive array, and this array is so complex that there's no way to find a loophole."

Wang Yan said, "There is one loophole, but it was left deliberately. We can only enter the Outer Guan Qin Family through this loophole."

"What loophole?" Fang Jinchun and the others looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan said, "According to Hu Yiyi, every tomb raider who infiltrated the Qin Tomb experienced this. Where do you think they went?"

Fang Jinchun slapped his thigh and said, "I get it, they must have been captured by the Outer Guan Qin Family."

But then he frowned and said, "But why would the Qin Family capture these tomb raiders?"

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Although I don't know why they capture ordinary people, what I am sure of is that only tomb raiders can pass through the array and enter the Outer Guan Qin Family."

Fang Jinchun raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you suggesting that we disguise ourselves as tomb raiders?"

Wang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Exactly, once inside this layer of the array, we can uncover the Outer Guan Qin Family's mysterious guise."

Fang Jinchun couldn't help but get excited, "Finally, something that Mozi Academy couldn't achieve, we've done it!"

Wang Yan nodded and said, "Exactly, so now we are tomb raiders. If we are tomb raiders, what should we do now?"

Ma Jun said, "Of course, dig a tunnel and enter the Qin Mausoleum."

"Ma Jun is right," Wang Yan nodded.

Hu Wei laughed heartily and said, "Haha, I'm too clever, I grabbed Hu Yiyi's Luoyang Shovel just now."

Sure enough, on Hu Wei's shoulder, he was carrying a Luoyang Shovel.

Wang Yan took the Luoyang Shovel and said, "Let's see why the Outer Guan Qin Family captures these tomb raiders."

With that, Wang Yan raised the Luoyang Shovel and began to dig into the ground. In just three scoops, Wang Yan had dug a deep hole.

Just as Wang Yan was about to dig deeper, a sudden immense suction force emerged from the hole, pulling Wang Yan into it. In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace.
