Chapter 269: 269
He wouldn’t even let go of her corpse? Qin Yunuan looked afar as if she could see the desire and determination in Chen Jingrui’s eyes through the rock gate . Could it be possible that he insisted on entering the arsenal not only for the weapon blueprints but also to seize Chen Wan’s corpse?
“He’s just a psychopath, a demon . ” A Mo continued fiercely . “In order to approach our master, he pretended to be an ordinary smith to steal the work of our master and force our master to marry him . Later, there was an accident in the arsenal, and our master was dead . But he still wouldn’t give up . He settled down near the arsenal and used the evil poison of the south-western regions on the others who escaped with him . They became idiots who couldn’t even speak, and they became dumber generation after generation . He himself had become the leader of these idiots, and he planned to re-enter the arsenal with his men . ”
“Who told you these?” Qin Yunuan was unlike the others, who would criticize Chen Jingrui immediately . She was just curious that if A Mo had never left this tomb, who told her about the news in the outside world?
A Mo suddenly became silent . She lowered her head with a flickering glance .
“In fact, you’ve left the tomb before, right?” Qin Yunuan softened her tone, with a bit of tempting in it . “You must have, or else you couldn’t know so well about the outside world . Also, even though everything here is old, there’s one new thing, which is your hair flower . A normal one would be worn out in several years . If you’ve never left the tomb for the past twenty years, how would you have a new hair flower?”
A Mo was shocked . She looked at Qin Yunuan numbly, but she didn’t want to explain anything .
Qin Yunuan tilted her head and looked at A Mo, looking interested . “Your glance reminds me of someone, Hu Shiniang in the Ghost City . I have to admit that it’s reasonable if there are triplets who look exactly the same, but their motions would vary slightly after all . How long do you want to deny it, Hu Shiniang?”
A Mo suddenly raised her head and squinted her eyes cautiously, “Don’t mention that traitor’s name in front of me . ”
Qin Yunuan ignored her and continued, “If I was right, Hu Shiniang of the Ghost City and Mrs . Du at the capital of North Di are just your different identities . You’ve planned it very well . You are guarding the tomb of your master and collecting news from the outside world at the same time while spreading the news that the Yeren Valley is a haunted place . It’s all for stopping people from coming, right? There are so many traps in this tomb, yet you’ve never wanted to hurt my husband and me since we came in . It means that you know us . ”
A Mo raised her head, looked at the stone ceiling and said with a relieved tone, “But you still entered the tomb after all . As long as there’s interest, people will find their way in eventually . I’ve guarded this tomb for twenty years, but since the very first day, I knew that someone would come sooner or later . ”
Saying this, it meant that A Mo was just admitting that she was Hu Shiniang and Mrs . Du . Qin Yunuan only found her more extraordinary that she was able to travel between Yeren Valley, the Ghost City and the capital of north Di so quickly .
Right then, Leng Changxi, who was guarding the rock gate, came quickly with his light skills . As he landed, he said towards A Mo, “It seems that they’ve figured out a way to come here . ”
“That’s impossible . ” A Mo couldn’t believe it . The corrosive liquid had stopped countless intruders . How could Chen Jingrui have such an ability to walk past that?
After that, A Mo rushed towards the rock gate . Qin Yunuan was following her . Leng Changxi took the chance to ask Qin Yunuan, “Did she cure your poison yet?”
“No,” Qin Yunuan shook her head, “It’s just that I know something that’s more important . ” After saying that, Qin Yunuan handed a pill to Leng Changxi, which was what A Mo gave her earlier . She deliberately saved one . If the air in the tomb was really toxic, she didn’t want anything happening to Leng Changxi .
A Mo touched the rock gate to make sure that it was shut, and then opened up a well-hidden hole on the top right corner of the gate . From this hole, she could see what happened on the outside clearly . To her surprise, even though the strong acid was still flowing, they were approaching slowly .
There were some corroded leaves and branches in the acid . Apparently, Chen Jingrui wanted to lay these on the acid so that he could walk through . However, it was useless . Compared to these, thick human flesh and sturdy human bone could last longer . So, he came up with this cruel idea to let his slaves make a way for him so that he could cross the acid on the bloody bodies . Chen Jingrui didn’t act uneasy at all . As soon as they reached the end of the human bridge, the slave at the front would be pushed into the acid . Together with the painful scream, the great troop could move further .
This time, it seemed that Chen Jingrui wouldn’t stop until he got what he wanted .
A Mo was looking uneasy . By the first time, she was feeling stressed .

“Could they come to this side of the rock gate?” Qin Yunuan asked, looking at A Mo .
“I don’t know . ” A Mo was looking at what happened on the outside . She was unsettled . The corridor was very long, and it was uneasy to walk through it with the acid . It was not a good way for Chen Jingrui to sacrifice his own people, but it was the quickest way, nonetheless .
“You two should go in first, to the crystal coffin . ” A Mo turned her head to Leng Changxi and said .
“What about you?” Qin Yunuan felt that she couldn’t leave A Mo here alone .
“I have my way naturally . ” A Mo looked at Qin Yunuan and suddenly looked soft . She had stayed in the tomb and the outside world for a long time, but few people actually cared of her, not mentioning that it’s a dangerous situation . “As for your poison,” A Mo sighed, “I couldn’t cure it . ”
“What did you say?” Leng Changxi raised his tone .
“Don’t panic . ” A Mo frowned and said towards Leng Changxi . In the Ghost City, when she was using the identity Hu Shiniang, she remembered that Leng Changxi was a calm man . That was why Leng Changxi attracted her so much . Apart from pity, it was also because of Hu Shiniang’s personal feelings toward Leng Changxi which made her help them . It was the first time she saw Leng Changxi so anxious, and it was for a woman . It made A Mo upset and emotional .
“It was a very cold poison on her . I’ve said that before, because the feeder of this poison had rare cold blood, normal people couldn’t feed this poison . The usual way is to pull the poison out with the same cold blood, but we couldn’t find such blood now . However, there’s another way that I heard our master talk about once . It was to balance yin-yang with warm blood . If we couldn’t find cold blood, we could find the warmest blood to neutralize it and force the poison out . ”
A Mo was talking a lot, but she ended with, “Don’t General Leng know that you have the warmest blood?”

“Are you serious?” Leng Changxi didn’t want to risk Qin Yunuan’s life .
“Huh,” A Mo smiled coldly, “Why do you think you could master the Qigong of Tongming Gate in such a short time? Apart from the fact that Jing Donghua, who gave you Qi, was the best West Xia Qigong master, it was because of your blood . It was fully supplementary with the Qigong of Tongming Gate . No one else could reach your level even with hard work for their whole life . ”
“Then how could I…” Before Leng Changxi had finished the question, a powerful thunder sounded outside the rock gate . At the moment, the whole tomb was shaking as if the sky is falling .
A Mo peeped through the hole and gritted, “Damn, they’re using dynamite now . ” As a matter of fact, Chen Wan invented dynamite . It was just that the method of producing it was leaked later on . Chen Wan would never have thought that her own invention would be used against her after her death .
“Go, you two . ” A Mo urged Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan, “Remember that as soon as you reached the crystal coffin, turn the leftmost candlestand to shut the second rock gate . That gate was very sturdy . Even with dynamite, they couldn’t blow it open . ”
“What about you?” Qin Yunuan was still very worried about A Mo .
“I belong to the tomb . ” A Mo smiled faintly, “Guarding the master’s tomb is my responsibility since I was born . I’m a living dead in this tomb . How bad could it be even if I die?”
Qin Yunuan wanted to say something else, but A Mo pushed her away . Leng Changxi didn’t want to leave A Mo alone, but he dragged Qin Yunuan towards the space with the crystal coffin A Mo showed them before . On their way, the whole tomb was trembling . It seemed that Chen Jingrui was adding the amount of dynamite he used .
As they arrived, Leng Changxi settled Qin Yunuan down and reached out his hand for the candlestand . Right then, he saw the rock gate from afar shattering . A Mo was guarding the gate with a thin blade in her hands . She was prepared to fight till her death with the intruders . Her life-long belief was to defend the tomb . She had no choice .

Leng Changxi gritted his teeth and turned the candlestand . Soon, the second rock gate fell . Qin Yunuan peeped through the slit on the gate . Seeing the chaos outside, she felt extremely uneasy .
After the rock gate fell, the world seemed separated from the outside . Leng Changxi held Qin Yunuan, whose fingertips were chilling, in his arms, and comforted her continuously, “It’s alright, Nuan . I’m here . Don’t be afraid . ”
“I… I’m fine, and I’m not afraid . ” Qin Yunuan’s voice was calm, but she was still trembling uncontrollably .
“But you’re very cold,” Leng Changxi held Qin Yunuan face in his hands and looked at it carefully, “And you’re looking pale and shaken . ”
“Am I?” Qin Yunuan was shocked, “But I’m not shaking, nor afraid . ” After saying that, Leng Changxi felt that Qin Yunuan was shaking even more terribly .
Looking at Leng Changxi’s serious expression, Qin Yunuan suddenly thought of something . She rolled up her sleeves, only to see that the black line on her arm had reached her fingertips .
“Is it midnight now?” Qin Yunuan asked numbly .
Leng Changxi didn’t say a word, but they both know that it was midnight, and the poison on Qin Yunuan was effecting .
