Chapter 790: Entered the Ancient Tomb?
"So you go in, we’ll wait outside, can we do that?" Han Jing said.
Xia Qingcheng looked at Han Jing: "You mean Ling’er went to the Ancient Tomb?"
Han Jing shrugged: "Intuition."
Xia Ji mysteriously disappeared early on the second day after arriving at the Xia Clan, and she definitely wasn’t just here to reminisce. She came with an attitude of watching the excitement, then suddenly vanished when everyone was caught off guard. This proves she had plans.
Therefore, Han Jing believed that she must have gone somewhere, somewhere very important.
The place Xia Qingcheng visited, Xia Ji indeed could have gone there, and she really did go, but that was not her goal.
Although Han Jing didn’t know what Xia Ji was planning, her intuition told her that the place Xia Ji would go to must be very significant, extremely important to the Xia Clan, and a place others absolutely couldn’t imagine and wouldn’t dare to venture into.
"Then let’s hurry up and go!" Ling Yue urged.
He didn’t care what Xia Ji’s purpose was, nor whether that place was a forbidden area of the Xia Clan. He only cared if Xia Ji was in danger and what she was trying to do. He feared that being one step behind might lead to something unexpected.
Xia Qingcheng couldn’t figure out where Xia Ji might go for a moment, so after a period of silence, she nodded: "Alright, let’s go and have a look, follow me, but you can only wait outside the Mausoleum."
Everyone nodded.
As the Clan Leader, Xia Qingcheng didn’t need to notify others unless it was a major event. However, the news of Xia Ji’s return was spread by Qing Ke, who couldn’t keep a secret, so before they even left Changhuan Palace, several elders arrived at Changhuan Palace.
At this moment, Xia Qingcheng didn’t have time to explain too much to them, said a few words to the elders, and then left with Han Jing and the others.
Upon reaching outside the Mausoleum, Xia Qingcheng instructed them to wait there, then entered the Mausoleum alone.
In fact, he also felt that Han Jing’s intuition was not without reason.
Years ago, Xia Ling’s father was the Tomb Guardian for many years, and although the Tomb Guardian couldn’t enter the Ancient Tomb, he could enter the Mausoleum. Therefore, if Xia Ling wanted to find some relics related to her father in the Mausoleum, it wasn’t out of the question. After all, if she wanted to enter the Mausoleum, the Tomb Guardian inside couldn’t stop her.
Even though her cultivation had severely deteriorated, she was still at the White Flame Level. She could easily enter without being noticed by anyone.
However, she could not enter the Ancient Tomb.
So when Xia Qingcheng entered the Mausoleum, he thought that if she really came here, she should have just entered the Mausoleum.
But this time... he guessed wrong.
He did not find Xia Ji in the Mausoleum and had to go to the underground Ancient Tomb. At the entrance of the Ancient Tomb, there was a Water Mirror. This Water Mirror records people entering and exiting the Ancient Tomb but can only be activated by the Clan Leaders of previous generations.
Xia Qingcheng hesitated for a moment and still dripped blood into the Water Mirror, then activated the mirror’s image.
Then, the event that shocked him occurred; he really found Xia Ji’s figure in the Water Mirror’s image.
She was using... Xia Qingcheng furrowed his brows, and then he remembered indeed giving her a bottle of blood years ago.
