Chapter 158: Chapter 155: Setting Off to the Secret Places of the Northwest (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions, Thank You)

"Chu Mo, your Ye Tian has gone off to play somewhere else again, leaving you here."

"I suspect he earned ten thousand yuan and went out to lavishly enjoy himself."

Mu Yunxi stuck out her tongue and laughed at Lin Chumo.

"No, he has urgent business. He said he’d bring me something delicious from the Northwest."

Lin Chumo replied gently.

"You really spoil Ye Tian way too much."

Mu Yunxi plopped down on the sofa and ate a bag of Lay’s chips with great enjoyment.

Indeed, after leaving the library that day, Ye Tian suddenly received an urgent call from Zeng Shan, saying that the place had been discovered by someone, and if they didn’t go immediately, it would be too late.

So, Ye Tian hurriedly asked Xiao Pang to relay a message to Lin Chumo, saying that he had urgent business in the Northwest and that she should temporarily stay at Mu Yunxi’s house and also ask their class assistant for a leave of absence.

Early the next morning, Zeng Shan brought a group of people to meet up with Ye Tian.

"Young Master Ye, you’ve arrived. I’m really sorry for calling you suddenly yesterday."

Seeing Ye Tian, Zeng Shan quickly ran back with a reproachful smile and said.

"It’s fine, let’s hurry up and set off. The earlier the better."

Ye Tian waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Old Zeng, you only brought a young kid. Is this the expert you mentioned? You know how dangerous that place is, don’t bring along a burden!"

A middle-aged man, rustic and with an axe on his waist, frowned and said.

Zeng Shan had brought two people, both of whom seemed dissatisfied with Ye Tian, who looked like a bookish scholar. He was about to explain but Ye Tian stopped him.

"Let’s not talk about this now. I’ll handle everything myself. Let’s go!"

Zeng Shan urged the group.

"Rumble~~~"

Two off-road Land Rovers came driving over, kicking up a cloud of dust, and a group of people gradually came into Zeng Shan and his companions’ view.

"Boss Zeng, sneaking here without informing me, intending to hog the treasure all to yourself?"

A woman wearing sunglasses and tight black clothing, followed by a dozen bodyguards, walked over and said in a charming voice to Zeng Shan.

"Black Rose, how come even you know about this? Your guys usually don’t engage in such things."

Zeng Shan’s face changed dramatically and he said urgently.

"Hehe, normally we wouldn’t do such dangerous things; fighting to the death for a cursed job which doesn’t earn big money. But according to my reliable sources, Boss Zeng is after a big prize this time, so we’re here to join the fun."

Black Rose said coquettishly.

Hearing Black Rose’s words, Zeng Shan and his two companions were quite fearful and didn’t believe her at all. Zeng Shan saw Ye Tian and ran over to him and whispered.

"Young Master Ye, we’ve got trouble, this Black Rose...don’t be fooled by her delicate appearance, it’s said she kills without blinking and her martial arts are exceptional."

"Well, well, a handsome young man. It seems I won’t be bored this time."

Black Rose pointed at Ye Tian and said with a smile.

"Old Zeng, this..."

The other two men looked at Zeng Shan seriously, waiting for his instructions.

"Alright then, with Black Rose joining us, our journey should be a bit safer."

"Ahead is Qingming Village. Only beyond that can we find the place. What do you all think?"

Zeng Shan pointed ahead and said with a smile to Black Rose.

"No problem, let’s go!!"

Black Rose stepped directly into the Land Rover, followed by her dozen bodyguards with expressionless faces.

"Young Master Ye, let’s go!!!"

Zeng Shan’s car was a dilapidated van; not that he didn’t want a good car, but activities like these needed discretion, being too flashy could lead to a quick demise.

Black Rose was indeed...on the road, when other vehicles saw the off-road Land Rovers, they quickly gave way, afraid to obstruct them. Zeng Shan’s van took advantage of this, otherwise, it would have taken them half an hour to get through the traffic.

In just ten minutes, they arrived at Qingming Village. This small village had a beautiful environment, surrounded by the chirping of birds and the scent of flowers. The simple and honest local customs, along with the loud voices of the vegetable vendors, made it feel lively.

However, upon seeing Black Rose’s entourage, the villagers quickly packed up and left, too scared to approach, while Ye Tian and his group followed behind.

"Zeng Shan, why is this village called Qingming Village? It’s quite peculiar."

Ye Tian, bored, chatted with Zeng Shan beside him.

"Young Master Ye, it’s like this. It’s said that since the previous dynasty, every Qingming Festival, that mountain behind would be filled with eerie winds and terrifying howls."

"Some young and strong male villagers went in to explore, but never came out. Then several more groups went in, totaling hundreds of people, all vanished without a trace."

"Outsiders started calling this village Qingming Village, and over hundreds of years, the original name was forgotten."

Zeng Shan narrated, while Ye Tian listened with a somewhat confused expression.

Ye Tian looked up at the mountain behind the village, hundreds of meters high, stretching for miles, with the rightmost peak resembling a dragon’s head. It had the potential like a dragon, but unfortunately, it was shrouded in black air, turning into a Black Dragon, which was the most avoided location for imperial tombs. Any burial there would curse the family for generations, ending their lineage.

"Old Zeng, last time we suffered because we didn’t know the way. Shouldn’t we get a guide this time?"

The middle-aged man asked Zeng Shan.

Black Rose’s ears perked up slightly. She whispered something to two of her bodyguards, and then they quickly kicked open the door of a house.

"What are you doing, let go of me!!"

An old man reeking of alcohol was dragged out by two bodyguards, still struggling.

When he saw Black Rose, he tightly shut his mouth and didn’t dare look up at her.

"Who here knows the paths in the mountain best? Bring them to me, I’ll reward you handsomely."

Black Rose said coldly.

The old man was silent for a while, then said, "I know the paths best!!"

"Old man, don’t try to trick me."

A man in black lifted the old man and glared at him.

"No, no, I’m the village chief here. I often lead them into the mountain to dig herbs for sale. I’m absolutely familiar."

The old man said in panic, looking like he was telling the truth.

Ye Tian frowned slightly. This Black Rose’s actions were overly domineering, filled with killing intent.

"I advise you not to go to that mountain. The outskirts are still okay, but if you go deeper, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"I’ll be honest with you, the real name of that mountain is Coffin Mountain. Many bizarre things happen there that you can’t even imagine."

The old man, despite his drunken state, spoke clearly about the mountain, without blinking.

"I, Black Rose, have never been afraid in my life. You just lead the way, don’t worry about anything else."

Black Rose walked past him without even glancing at the old man.

Ye Tian and his group also gradually followed.

The jade pendant in Ye Tian’s hand flickered for a moment, then dimmed.
