Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 311 Outside the Ancient Tomb
The car traveled for more than ten kilometers before it could go no further.
Ahead lay a dense forest, and they needed to proceed on foot.
Five people got out of the car, carelessly abandoned it there, and then, they unfurled their bodies, speeding towards the depths of the forest at a terrifying pace.
Among the five, Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level was undoubtedly the lowest. At first, the others planned to take care of Li Xiaoyao, but they soon found that he was following them effortlessly.
"You’re quite fast, little brother. May I ask what formidable movement technique you’ve cultivated?" Feng Xinran’s eyes shone brightly as she stared at Li Xiaoyao and asked.
"Heh, my physical body is just relatively robust," Li Xiaoyao replied, not foolish enough to reveal his trump card. Facing Feng Xinran’s curiosity, he answered casually.
Feng Xinran smiled slightly and did not inquire further.
...
In the forest ten miles from the ancient tomb, more than thirty people sat or stood.
Each one of them had an extraordinary bearing, with swords or sabers at their waists or long spears stuck in the ground.

Among them, Wu Cang from the Wu Family took the lead.
All these people were cultivators or martial artists from Lu Province. Once they learned of the ancient tomb’s existence, they immediately started preparing and, at Wu Cang’s command, all rushed over.
Even Cheng Dongliang couldn’t resist joining them, while Li Xiaoyao’s words were completely ignored.
"That Fire Serpent has a terrifying level of cultivation. Family Head Wu, what should we do?" a man with furrowed brows asked.
They had been there for three or four days, during which they had launched two attacks.
In the first attack, they lost one person and seven were injured.
In the second attack, thirteen were killed, and twenty-seven were injured.
Even Wu Cang had been seriously injured in the second battle with the Fire Serpent.
The giant snake’s power was horrendous, certainly way beyond the Condensation Realm.
Wu Cang himself had no good ideas. Should they seek the help of more powerful cultivators?
No, that was absolutely out of the question.
If the news spread, by the time those powerful cultivators arrived, there would be nothing left in the ancient tomb for them.
Even if they couldn’t kill the Fire Serpent or enter the ancient tomb, they would never allow others to do so.
Wu Cang said, "We’ll sneak in at night and see if we can bypass the Fire Serpent to enter the tomb directly."
Lin Changfu shook his head, "That’s not possible, absolutely not."
"There is a Formation barrier outside the tomb. If we ram through it forcefully, it will immediately alert the Fire Serpent and the casualties will be even worse."
Wu Cang frowned. He had overlooked this detail.
"Let’s just wait until tonight, look for an opportunity, and I’ll launch a sneak attack myself," Wu Cang could only say this. At this moment, if he didn’t make a stand, everyone else would become unsettled.
Hearing this, everyone let out a sigh.
Even Wu Cang was no match for the Fire Serpent, so they didn’t take his words seriously.
This time, Lin Changfu had brought along two people, the two most talented individuals of the Lin Family.
Lin Xiu and Lin Qingxuan!
The younger generation of the Lin Family could be considered the strongest in the entire clan, with members not only making achievements in the business and political realms but also among the cultivators and martial artists.
Among them, Lin Xiu and Lin Qingxuan stood out the most.
At the age of seven, they were noticed by the Seven Swords Sect, a major Qi Cultivation faction in Lu Province, and were taken in to be cultivated as inner sect disciples.
More than twenty years flew by in a blink, and the naught kids who once knew nothing had grown up into adults and become an indispensable protective force for the Lin Family.
"Third Uncle, that Fire Serpent’s cultivation level is terrifying. With our collective strength, even if we join hands, we’re unlikely to kill it," said Lin Xiu in a white robe flapping in the wind, his expression grave.
Lin Xiu was thirty-one this year, one year older than Lin Qingxuan, yet his cultivation level was lower than hers.
Even the elders of the Seven Swords Sect had said that Lin Qingxuan was a cultivation talent seen only once in a century, and if she were given time, stepping into the Golden Core Realm would be right around the corner!
The Golden Core Realm, that was a realm of legend. This showed just how terrifying Lin Qingxuan’s talent for cultivation was.
Lin Qingxuan, who had been silent until now, spoke faintly, "Big brother is right, that Fire Serpent’s cultivation level has probably already reached the Abstinence Realm. If we go up there, it would just mean throwing away lives needlessly. In my opinion, we should return early. My brother and I will go back to the Seven Swords Sect and report this matter to the Sect Leader so that the Sect can send people. By then, if we obtain treasures from the ancient tomb, it will also benefit our Lin Family, which is better than throwing our lives away for nothing."
After hearing this, Lin Changfu nodded, feeling this approach was most prudent.
You should only take on what you can handle. If even their strongest, Lin Xiu and Lin Qingxuan, voiced such opinions, Lin Changfu saw no reason to remain.
Just then, Li Xiaoyao and his four companions appeared.
When people heard the noise, they all turned their heads to look.
Jiang Lichun and his group were not from Lu Province, while the cultivators and martial artists present were all locals.
Only Li Xiaoyao was recognized by a few people.
Seeing that so many people had already gathered, Jiang Lichun was slightly surprised and said with a smile, "Quite a few people have come. It seems the news has already spread."
Feng Xinran toyed with a strand of her hair and with a flirtatious glance around said, "Just a bunch of juniors, they don’t matter."
"Xiaoyao!"
Upon seeing Li Xiaoyao, Cheng Dongliang was overjoyed and quickly walked over, scanning the faces of Jiang Lichun and his group before recognizing him, "Mr. Jiang has also arrived."
He had always thought that Jiang Lichun was an ordinary person but seeing his arrival at such speed, realized that he was also a cultivator of no weak prowess.
"Didn’t I tell you not to come if I hadn’t returned?" Li Xiaoyao said to Cheng Dongliang, clearly displeased.
Cheng Dongliang’s face fell a bit at the rebuke but still shook his head with a bitter smile, "That Fire Serpent is really powerful. All of us here can do nothing against it."
"That’s because you are useless," the indifferent voice of Yu Shenghe came through.
Cheng Dongliang frowned but ultimately chose not to respond.
They had come together with Li Xiaoyao, likely aiming to enter the ancient tomb, and anyone whom Li Xiaoyao considered a companion would certainly not be of weak cultivation. There was no need to fallout with them over a single sentence.
Cheng Dongliang, who had been around the block, was very astute and capable of enduring. He understood better than most the principle that a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years.
The others, upon seeing Li Xiaoyao and his group, began to talk among themselves.

"That’s Li Xiaoyao, the master who killed Wu Hao in the Ghost Market."
"So young!"
"But whether his thunder-drawing technique is real or fake remains in question."
Seeing Li Xiaoyao, Lin Changfu looked over with a cold glint in his eye and whispered, "He is Li Xiaoyao!"
After Lin Xiu and the others looked over and sized him up briefly, they commented, "Just a Qi-Training Mirror kid."
