Chapter 209: Why Didn’t You Say It Earlier? Why Didn’t You Say It Earlier?
“Brother Tian, I always feel that staying in the Royal Tomb is very dangerous right now. How about we leave instead?”
At this moment, Ling Tianyi was leading his group through the mountains.
Or perhaps it could be said that Ling Tianyi himself was a bit scared, so he intentionally brought his people this way.
If it weren’t for his pathetic pride, Ling Tianyi definitely wouldn’t have stayed in the Royal Tomb.
Since he couldn’t enter the inner area, the remaining opportunities in the outer region didn’t matter much to a genius from the Ling family.
But Ling Tianyi knew he absolutely couldn’t show this fear.
If he fled just because Qin Bei was here too, he would lose his dignity in front of his peers and would be looked down upon in the Ling family.
Ling Tianyi still wanted to leverage the Ling family to assert his power, so he couldn’t allow this situation to happen.
“What are you afraid of? It’s just Qin Bei, right? Look at how scared you all are!” Ling Tianyi scolded.
This group of little brothers was simply infuriating; they just loved to inspire an inexplicable sense of danger.
“Besides, the inner area has already opened. We’re so far away. Do you really think Qin Bei would give up seeking opportunities just to deal with us because of this minor issue?”
Ling Tianyi said confidently.
“But what if he really does give up? Or what if Prince Bei has some special tricks up his sleeve? We don’t know much about Prince Bei and whether there might be unexpected surprises,” one of the juniors replied.
Ling Tianyi: ???
“Huh?”
Fck!*
Ling Tianyi suddenly came to a realization.
This junior was absolutely correct.
Although Qin Bei might not be the type to give up opportunities just to make trouble for him, he knew nothing about Qin Bei.
What if Qin Bei had other special means?
Like a talisman that could shrink the earth into inches?
There were plenty of those types of talismans in the Talismonger Sect.
With Qin Bei’s financial resources, what if he had actually spent a fortune to buy one?
Or what about a temporary teleportation array?
Anything was possible.
“No, Brother Tian, I’m just joking! Don’t be angry. Can’t I just keep quiet?” the junior tried to backtrack when he saw the terrifying look Ling Tianyi threw his way.
It seemed like his words had shaken the morale of the group, and he was about to get scolded.
However, unexpectedly for him, Ling Tianyi really did scold him, but the focus was different.
“Why didn’t you say it earlier? You could have mentioned it sooner! I didn’t think of that! If you did, why didn’t you say it sooner?”
Ling Tianyi was genuinely scared, really scared that Qin Bei had other methods.
Because with Qin Bei’s personality, if he had other tricks, he would absolutely use them.
And they would surely be aimed at taking his life.
In an instant, Ling Tianyi felt as if arrows were shooting toward his back.
It made him feel like a thorn was lodged in his back, and cold sweat began to flow.
It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay! The inner area has already been opened; he must have entered it. Don’t scare yourself. Besides, I picked this spot deliberately. What could he possibly do to me? I’m not a pushover in the Golden Core realm!
Ling Tianyi comforted himself like this.
And just as he was calming himself down, his junior brothers almost simultaneously turned to look behind Ling Tianyi, their faces reflecting sheer terror.
“What did you see that scared you so much? Could it be that Qin Bei is really coming?” Ling Tianyi asked, testing the waters.
“Arrows~ Arrows! The attack is coming!” one of the juniors panicked.
Before Ling Tianyi could even turn around, he activated his strongest defense.
The next second~
Boom!
Bang!
When the first landmine exploded, Ling Tianyi and his crew managed to escape, as they weren’t directly hit.
But dozens of landmines fell like flowers scattered by a celestial maiden.
They landed around Ling Tianyi and those with him.
“Form a formation! Defend!” Ling Tianyi knew this was truly Qin Bei’s attack.
Qin Bei really had other means to deal with him.
He had really been careless.
Over a dozen people formed a defensive formation, but it was all in vain against dozens of landmines.
The force of the explosion nearly shattered their fragile defenses.
“What is this thing? Why is it so powerful? Did the Talismonger Sect develop something new?”
“Can Talismonger Sect’s stuff be used at long range? Damn! Why didn’t you say it earlier? What bad luck!”
……
That’s all the cursing from Ling Tianyi and the others.
Because when the twentieth landmine exploded, more than a dozen of them were severely injured.
Dying Ling Tianyi gazed at the junior who was now only half of himself in the distance, his eyes wide open.
The same went for the fragile junior, feeling touched. He never thought that Brother Tian would still be thinking of him at this time.
However, Ling Tianyi’s feeble question made the junior drop dead on the spot!
“Why didn’t you say it earlier? You could have said it sooner! Why didn’t you say it earlier?”
Hiccup~
……
At the center position of the outer Royal Tomb.
While everyone was still puzzling over why Qin Bei sent three arrows over, they heard the first explosion.
Everyone looked towards the source of the explosion, but saw nothing.
After all, they were hundreds of miles apart, and numerous mountains blocked their line of sight.
But as the explosions continued to thud, people finally began to see something.
It was light from the fire.
The first wave of explosions allowed everyone to witness the flames.
And it didn’t stop there; the second wave of explosions followed immediately.
Everyone felt the vibrations.
Then the third wave exploded.
When everyone looked back that way again, they found that the firelight seemed to have obliterated a number of mountain peaks…
“This…”
Looking at the spots where the peaks had vanished, everyone estimated it to be a hundred miles away.
And looking in that direction again…
Where else could it be but where Ling Tianyi was?
Gululu~
Realizing everything, a person unconsciously gulped.
“What is this thing? Why is it so lethal?”
“Could it be the Talismonger Sect’s Thunder Bomb Talisman? But the Talismonger Sect’s Thunder Bomb Talisman doesn’t have that much power, and it’s impossible to control it over such distances.”
“Does that even matter? The important thing is the power! Not to mention that Ling Tianyi is only in the Golden Core realm; even if he were a Nascent Soul, he’d be wiped out, wouldn’t he?”
“Need I say? With this kind of force, Ling Tianyi and the others must have been done for after the first wave of explosions!”
“What a waste! Using so many of these amazing items just to kill Ling Tianyi.”
“Not to mention, to be able to send those odd items over a hundred miles away, hundreds of Soul Pearls were wasted!”
“Really a waste, but people with money can do whatever they want!”
“Stop whining, or Prince Bei might hear you. I’ll launch one at you too, let’s see if you can take it!”
“This isn’t wasteful at all; this is clearly meant for us to see! It’s a warning that anyone who provokes Qin Bei will be hunted down, no matter how far! Even if it costs far more wealth than the gains, they’ll still take revenge!”
tsk tsk~ “So domineering. If you become Prince Bei’s subordinate, wouldn’t that mean you can strut around? Because once you offend a subordinate, you’re really offending Prince Bei himself, and he’ll still spend big for revenge!”
“If that’s the case, I feel like surrendering to Prince Bei right now.”
“Cut it! With a character like you, if you pitch to Prince Bei, he might not even want you! What a dreamer!”
