Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 524 - 62: Lin Chen: Is This Self-Praise?

"Young Master Lin, no problem!"

Reminded by Lin Chen, Liu Yue regained her composure and personally walked past the two war puppets.

The two war puppets were indifferent.

"Hmm."

With Liu Yue’s verification, Lin Chen didn’t hesitate either and headed towards the palace, with the two entering the palace one after the other.

Upon stepping into the palace, Lin Chen once again felt the unique energy sweep over his body like when he touched the stone tablet earlier.

"Who is this?"

A corpse lay on the ground of the hall.

"Someone from the Xiang Family."

Liu Yue stepped forward to examine the features of the corpse on the ground, then turned to Lin Chen: "Cao Shan, ranked twenty-first on the Earth List."

"So, Cao Shan also knew about the Heaven-Supporting Sect’s tomb?"

"Hmm."

Liu Yue nodded. In the past, the reason young disciples from the four major families couldn’t discover the palace tomb, apart from their own strength not being strong enough to reach here, was mainly because without a map, it was almost impossible to find the tomb within three days.

It seems Cao Shan had a map of the tomb to arrive earlier than us.

"Young Master Lin, Cao Shan only had three demon cores on him."

Liu Yue naturally searched Cao Shan’s body for a while, untied the pouch at his waist, and tossed it to Lin Chen.

Looting corpses!

It’s a common skill among martial artists, nothing shameful about it.

"Unfortunately, these three demon cores have already been registered by Cao Shan."

Lin Chen didn’t feel regret upon hearing this; the contribution points he had obtained for the Dan Family already justified the reward given by the Dan Family.

With Cao Shan’s strength, he shouldn’t have only killed three demon beasts. The demon beasts encountered along the way wouldn’t have been fewer than ten. It seems Cao Shan chose to avoid these demon beasts.

"Indeed, I also think so."

Lin Chen nodded, agreeing with Liu Yue’s judgment.

"How did Cao Shan die then? He has no wounds on his body and doesn’t appear to be poisoned."

Liu Yue frowned. The mysterious death of a strong Earth List ranker cast a shadow over her heart.

The family has only the map to the tomb but knows nothing about the situation inside the tomb.

"Maybe it’s related to that thing."

Lin Chen’s gaze shifted to above Liu Yue’s head. Liu Yue followed Lin Chen’s line of sight and raised her head, her eyes focused sharply.

At the dome of the palace ceiling, there was a star array outlined in jade.

And in the center of the star array, there was a convex slot.

"Is this an array?"

Liu Yue formed her judgment: "Cao Shan ended up like this after pressing the array, could it be dangerous when activated?"

"If it’s dangerous, would Miss Liu decide to give up?"

Lin Chen’s question made Liu Yue silent for a while: "No!"

For this moment today, the family has prepared for decades, how could she give up so easily?

Liu Yue wouldn’t give up, and Lin Chen was also very curious about the Heaven-Supporting Sect, with both exchanging glances that understood each other’s resolve.

"Young Master Lin, I want to activate the array."

"Hmm."

Once Lin Chen agreed, Liu Yue flicked a finger towards the convex stone of the array above.

The convex stone was pressed down with force, and soon light flowed around the dome, with energy sweeping through the entire hall. After this wash of energy, a stone door suddenly rose from below the ground, appearing before Lin Chen and Liu Yue.

"Those who enter the stone door must first pass the divine soul threshold; failures will have their divine soul destroyed."

The top of the stone door revealed a line of red blood characters slowly, and Lin Chen and Liu Yue exchanged glances, understanding how Cao Shan died.

Divine soul destruction!

No wonder Cao Shan had no external wounds.

Liu Yue looked at the line of blood characters, her expression turning solemn.

Entering the stone door poses a risk.

Her agreement with Lin Chen was to have Lin Chen help her obtain the Sect Introduction Order, mostly to fend off others during any contention.

"Young Master Lin, I didn’t expect the current situation, this stone door... if you don’t wish to enter, you can wait outside, and if I fail, my body will appear outside like Cao Shan’s, then I’ll trouble you to take my body out, as elders from the family will find you after leaving the relic."

Liu Yue didn’t request Lin Chen to accompany her into the stone door, and at this moment, Lin Chen was also considering whether to enter.

A gentleman doesn’t stand under a dangerous wall, and the Sect Introduction Order doesn’t greatly attract him.

And as Lin Chen pondered, there was movement at the entrance, with several figures appearing.

"The rumors are true, Senior Brother Gao is indeed formidable."

"Oh, I didn’t expect someone to arrive before us."

When figures appeared at the entrance, Liu Yue moved a bit closer to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen also narrowed his eyes slightly but wasn’t too surprised. Since Liu Yue could come for the Sect Introduction Order and Cao Shan could find this place, it seemed acceptable for Gao Yongsi to find it too.

They all had the same goal, merely using the opportunity of the four major families’ competition to enter the relic.

What surprised Lin Chen more was Zhuang Lei following behind Gao Yongsi; it seemed the relationship between Gao Yongsi and the Zhuang Family was deeper than he imagined.

"Aren’t you from the Dan Family? Why are you walking with the Zhou Family?"

Seeing Lin Chen and Liu Yue, Zhuang Lei’s gaze wandered on Liu Yue, with a hint of heat, and when he looked at Lin Chen, his eyes were filled with disdain.
