Yesterday a member of the Inferno company had stumbled upon a corpse that had been decaying for several years.
On the body was a sheet of iron.
The Yiduo clan saw it as well, but didn’t know what it was at the time.

Operating under the principle of never letting go of something once they saw it, in order to keep the prize and split it evenly amongst themselves, the group of seven didn’t hesitate to stab the Inferno member in the back.
The mercenary company was huge with well over three hundred members, so they weren’t to be trifled with.
Killing the guy was the best way to cover their tracks.

But just as they were in the process of killing him -seven on one- Cohen’s squad appeared.
There were many veterans in his squad so, in the end they were the ones outnumbered.
While they were fleeing, some of the Inferno member’s blood dripped onto the sheet and revealed the map.
The Yidou clan saw the tomb’s location and realized what the iron sheet was for.

The Inferno company didn’t know what the iron sheet was for; had they known they would not have let the seven people from the Yiduo clan off with just a beating.

This veered from the original plot.
Originally the group of seven were not captured by the mercenary company and had instead met up with their own Yiduo clan.
The clan would find the god’s tomb and eventually lose the key to Zi Cheng.

Unfortunately for them the script changed with Feng Wu’s appearance.
The Inferno company were able to take back the iron sheet, thus changing everything that happened afterwards.

As a matter of fact, if the seven people had successfully killed the guy from the Inferno company, the tomb would never have been made public.
But since the plot changed and the Yiduo clan lost the iron sheet, the clan purposefully circulated the rumors about the tomb.

They were angry at having to eat the loss from the Inferno company.
If they couldn’t get it, then they would try their best to make it difficult for their rival.

By the time the Inferno company finished preparations to raid the tomb, news of it had spread throughout the battlegrounds.

Feng Wu’s group didn’t know any of this insider information.
Luis was gathering information from the youth that had approached them.

“Both the matter of the keys being in the Inferno company’s possession and the tomb’s location were spread at the same time?” Ai Lin thought the whole thing was suspicious.

“We wondered if the rumors were circulating because the Inferno group offended someone.
It’s exactly the kind of rumor that would band adventurers together to oppose them.
But after further observations, we surmised that the key may truly be held by the Inferno group after all.

The person who spread the rumor initially may have been telling the truth.
After we verified it, many large mercenary groups began making, or tried to make connections with the Inferno company.
Currently, there are a few around the general area and a few more around the entrance of the tomb.

It’s definitely because they worked out an agreement of some type.”

Luis smiled and thanked the brother for the information.
“If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t know the situation.”

“You don’t have to be so polite.
It’s common knowledge and not a secret at all.” The young man waved his hand dismissively.

Feng Wu tugged at Jier’s shirt.
Uncertain and a bit distressed she asked, “Jier, should we go in?”

Jier turned down to look at her.
“Do you want to go?”

“It’s just that the tomb is very dangerous.” Feng Wu read a lot of books so she knew what a god’s tomb was.
It was something gods built as their final resting place.
There would be treasure, but there would also be danger.

Feng Wu puckered her lips thoughtfully as she looked over at Ming Xi.

Feeling her gaze, Ming Xi turned to her and gave her a slight, gentle nod.

“Don’t go in if you’re so afraid of dying.
No one asked you to go.” Yifu hated Feng Wu the most.
The two had clashed early on and the divide between them only deepened with time.
It was at a point where it was impossible for them to get along.

Feng Wu’s suspicion of Zi Cheng earlier only added fuel to the fire.
Yifu ’s anger was off the charts.

“Shut up or die.” Jier glanced at her disdainfully as he spoke.
He didn’t bother trying to hide the maliciousness in his eyes.

“You’re a successor to one of the four season gods! How can you threaten a girl like that?!” Yifu didn’t believe him.

It was a good thing Jier was fast.
He activated a silence spell the moment she opened her mouth.
Otherwise she would have spilled his identity to everyone.

“Yifu! How irresponsible of you.
How could you reveal Jier’s identity like that?” Ai Lin wanted to get into Jier’s good graces so she jumped right in.

“I didn’t say anything wrong! Why should his identity by a secret?! Why can’t I say it?” Yifu countered.
She didn’t appreciate Ai Lin’s nosiness.

“Ah! Could it be Jier is afraid if his identity is exposed, people will know he used his powers to embarrass a classmate?” Jasmine joined in.
She still had a grudge against Jier for using illusion magic to humiliate her so she naturally sided with Yifu.
