Early the next morning, Chen Xiaobei brought Xiangyu and Osnur along with him to Chang’an.
Of course, on the surface, only Xiangyu with Chen Xiaobei. Osnur was actually hidden inside the Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd.
Without the three Beast Kings to protect him, Chen Xiaobei needed Osnur as his trump card which of course, was something his enemies should be kept in the dark about.
Once they arrived, Chen Xiaobei conferred with Li Xiang.
Another person also arrived at the same time, and that was Six-Eared Macaque who disguised himself as the Emperor God of Japan.
Because Jiang Ziya felt that this trip was too dangerous, he sent Six-Eared Macaque just to be safe.
Although Six-Eared Macaque was currently only at the peak of Ethereal Cultivation, his Special Ability was still an incredible one. It would prove very useful if anything untoward happened later on!
After that, the four of them headed for the outskirts of Chang’an, North of Mount Li.
While they were in the car on the way there, Six-Eared Macaque asked, “Recently, I’ve read intensively on Emperor Qin’s mausoleum. Shouldn’t we be starting the search from the Terracotta Army?”
“You didn’t do your homework very well!” Li Xiang said, laughing. “The mausoleum is very big, and quite magnificent as well! The total area of the mausoleum runs to about 57 square kilometers. That’s close to the size of 78 imperial palaces. The mausoleum is built inside Mount Li. Excluding the surrounding tombs, the underground palace itself is already massive. The walls surrounding them are thousands of meters long! The Terracotta Army you’re talking about is just the tip of the underground palace’ surroundings! If you want to enter the palace from that spot, you’ll have to dig your way in – a hole ay least a few thousand meters wide and a few hundred meters deep!”
Six-Eared Macaque was stunned by the facts presented to him. “No way! How could a single human’s mausoleum be that big?! It it was true, even the Holy Tomb from the heavenly realm would fail to match up!”
“Of course!” Li Xiang chuckled. “If Emperor Qin’s tomb is similar to a common tomb, then we wouldn’t have dragged on until today just to open it!”
“Not bad at all! It all sounds very exciting! I love exciting things!” Six-Eared Macaque grinned.
“Don’t get too excited just yet. Our enemies are quite challenging this time. With your current cultivation, it’s going to be disastrous if it gets ‘exciting’!” Xiangyu said.
“Hehe, you’re a Hegemon-King of Western Chu! Since when did you become such a coward?” Six-Eared Macaque teased.
“Being cautious does not mean being cowardly. When it’s time to fight, rest assured I will not be running behind you!” Xiangyu said sternly, his expressions changing.
Six-Eared Macaque did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “Erm, I was just joking man. Why so serious! Who here doesn’t know that you, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, is a fierce fighter who has mountains of corpses and seas of blood on his hands? How could you possibly be afraid?”
“It’s good that you that!” Xiangyu raised his chin.
Suddenly, Li Xiang announced, “This is where we stop. The car won’t be able to travel on the road ahead. We’ll have to hike up the mountain from here!”
“Let’s wait here for a minute!” Chen Xiaobei said. “I’m waiting for a friend!”
Everyone got down the car and waited by the foot of the mountain.
About a few minutes later, seven women dressed in traditional Chinese costumes approached.
Six of them were very attractive in appearance. Dressed in the elegant changpao, they were even more attractive than the regular celebrity!
Among them, one woman stood out. Her figure and manners seemed flawless!
Her face was hidden behind platinum mask though, revealing only a pair of dark, dewy eyes.
“Shijie, please wait for moment. I need to talk to a friend of mine!” The woman in the mask said before leaving to meet Chen Xiaobei.
“Goddess of Luck!” Chen Xiaobei grinned. “It’s okay if you don’t want me to see your face, but was it necessary for you to upgrade your scarf to a mask?”
“My Sifu gave this to me!” Li Xuanxin said. “She said that my looks will draw trouble. So, she made me put the mask on!”
“Mm, your sifu is a wise person!” Chen Xiaobei smiled. “You and Luo Puti are called the Double Dragon beauties of Dragon City – exquisite beauties whose stunning looks alone could cause great calamity! If you don’t wear a mask, I’m afraid a hell lot of people will get jealous, and might even want to pick a fight for you!”
“Pfft! Please! We haven’t seen each other for long but you’re still the same blabber aren’t you?”
“Since when am I a blabber? I am just speaking the truth! Isn’t your Sifu worried?” Chen Xiaobei teased. “You called me a blabber, which means you’re calling your Sifu crazy!”
“Don’t talk rubbish! If my Shijies hear you, it will not end well for you!”
“We already heard him!”
All six of Li Xuanxin’s Shijies had gathered around them, glaring at Chen Xiaobei coldly as if they wanted to hang him on a pole and beat him silly.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you. I was just giving an example.” Chen Xiaobei said awkwardly. Although he was surrounded by beautiful women, having their eyes boring into his skin was indeed very uncomfortable.
“You don’t have to explain. Even if you have the courage of a dragon, you would never dare offend our Sifu!” The oldest one among the six spoke up, giving Chen Xiaobei a sideways stare.
Chen Xiaobei gave them a clumsy smile. He was no one who was known to be discreet, so he could not argue with them.
Li Xuanxin tried to patch the situation up. “Elder Shijie, this is my friend. This is all a misunderstanding. Please don’t be mad at him!”
“Mad? Do you think I will get angry over a weakling?” Elder Shijie laughed coldly. “If it was not for Little Qi, I wouldn’t even bother looking at him!”
The other five women laughed.
“Little Qi, you should pick your friends more carefully! Don’t just make friends with just anyone, and bring disgrace to our teacher’s reputation! A conservative woman like Sifu will not be happy with it!”
“Little Qi, quickly dismiss this kid! Today’s task is not a common one. If he stays here, he will die!”
“Yes, we better move quickly. We cannot make Sifu wait for us!”
The women prattled on; bearing no malicious intent but it was obvious that they all looked down on Chen Xiaobei.
Of course, this was somewhat to be expected. The Ancient Tomb faction was a top-tier ancient faction, and they were the disciples of Ancient Tomb’s faction leader Long Zishan. It was only natural that they had this feeling of superiority over others.
Xiangyu and Six-Eared Macaque were very unhappy with their condescending words and their contemptuous looks. In their hearts, they really wanted to punish these women.
Liu Xuanxin saw that things were rapidly taking a turn for worse so she quickly said, “Shijie, please listen to me. My friend is not weak, and he’s not some Tom, Dick or Harry. He’s the faction leader of Bei Xuan Faction that Sifu always mentiond, Chen Zhufeng!”
All six women gasped. “What? This thing? He’s THE famous Chen Xiaobei?”
Early the next morning, Chen Xiaobei brought Xiangyu and Osnur along with him to Chang’an.
Of course, on the surface, only Xiangyu with Chen Xiaobei. Osnur was actually hidden inside the Verdant Emperor’s Divine Gourd.
Without the three Beast Kings to protect him, Chen Xiaobei needed Osnur as his trump card which of course, was something his enemies should be kept in the dark about.
