Chapter 401: Crisis Temporarily Resolved

e him feel very incompetent.After daybreak, Lin Hui left Pingbei City with the people waiting to exit. Even leaving the city cost him a silver coin, which made him even more certain that Ríguo had alr...Honglian and Wuyou both opened their eyes at the same time. The crisis of the evil spirit puppets was lifted, but the crisis of the tomb collapsing quietly descended.

The speed of the sand and rocks falling was increasing rapidly. In less than five minutes, they had reached the ankles of the three people.

Worry-free got up and ran towards the main tomb's door, searching around hoping to find a mechanism to raise the fallen stone gate.

Earlier, they were dealing with the fierce spirit puppets and army of skeletons. To prevent these things from escaping, the three of them didn't bother closing the stone gate behind them. If they couldn't resolve this situation quickly, they also planned to use the tomb chamber as a temporary way to confine the spirits here.

Now that the evil spirit puppets have been dealt with, but the stone gate remains closed. The entire tomb shows signs of being reburied.

Let me give it a try.

Liàn Yī walked towards the spot where Shí Mén fell, stepping on the falling gravel. Hóng Liàn dragged Guō Zǐ Zhèng's ankle with disdain, quickly moving toward the door. In her opinion, since Liàn Yī said "try it," the success rate was around 70%, and she wasn't worried about being trapped here at all.

The red ribbon actively coiled around Ripples' right hand, providing protection for its owner.

The ripples stood in front of the stone gate, clenched their right fist and slammed it hard at the center of the stone gate. "Bang!" A loud noise echoed, and a crack appeared in the middle of the stone gate.

Ripple exerted five tenths of her strength, seeing cracks appear she swung another punch, this time using six tenths of her power. The stone door shattered at an even faster rate, and by the time she unleashed her third blow, the tomb door was completely destroyed, sending sand and gravel from the main chamber into the side chambers.

"Let's go!"

Liàn yī dì yī gè zhuān chū qù, wú yōu bāng zhe hóng liǎn tuō chū Guō zǐ zhèng, yě liúxià le zhǔ mù shì.

"Leave quickly, the side tomb is starting to collapse too."

Liàn yī raised her head to look at the ceiling of the tomb. There were already spiderweb-like cracks there. There must be a linked mechanism here.

"Go out from the previous hole."

Wuyou immediately said.

The ripples also effortlessly carried the unconscious Liang Gang and the deceased Guo Huai out.

When the three of them ran out of the entrance, they only heard a "boom" and half the mountainside caved in.

Wu Yong and Zhang Fei rushed to meet them with anxious faces, took the heavy burdens from their hands, and then quickly ran down the mountain.

"You don't need to run anymore, the tomb has already been sealed and there will be no further collapse."

The ripples are also a little exhausted at this time, waving their hands to tell everyone not to panic so much.

Wu Yong and Zhang Zhan only then stopped their steps, turning back to find the three masters covered in dust and dirt. Especially Hong Lian and Lian Yi, both with faces caked in mud. Wu You had no hair on his head, looking a bit better than the two women.

"Police officer, have your men take these three back. Their disappearance is all part of their plan."

Two mages who had been trapped previously also came over and respectfully thanked the three of them:

"Thank you all for your help. We have already notified the Association of Wizards, and they will send someone to handle the follow-up."

"Well done!"

The three of them were truly exhausted from the hard work and were fed up with dealing with this, so after finishing the handover, they all went home separately.

Shortly after the three left, the Association of Wizards, the Public Security Bureau, and the Cultural Relics Bureau all sent people to the scene to investigate this incident of using a tomb to set up an evil formation, luring public officials in, and threatening wizards.

When Guo Huai was brought out, he was already dead. The preliminary judgment was that he died from a failed duel and backlash from dark arts. Liang Gang was directly admitted to the ICU and ended up with hemiplegia, unable to speak clearly. He will spend the rest of his life in bed.

Guo Zij Zheng awoke after nine days. Although his life was saved, he suffered from excessive blood loss and felt dazed. Upon learning of his father Guo Huai's death, and the impending punishment from the Association of Sorcerers, he fell into further despair.

Ripple kept her promise and gave Xiangyun Jade to the monk Wuyou as a reward. She also gave Honglian a pair of earrings made from spirit marrow, though they were the most ordinary style, they still won Honglian's favor.

Honglian's eyes were discerning, knowing this was a good thing. After gratefully accepting it, she returned a blood jade bead to Lianyi.

Don't underestimate this little bead. When you are in dire straits, swallow it and you will have a chance to undergo a metamorphosis, giving you a second chance at life. Be sure to keep it safe!

Hong Lian smiled and explained.

“Such a good thing, of course I have to keep it well, besides I've already experienced it!”

She directly placed the beads into the space and decided to take this blood jade bead with her after completing this mission.

"I knew you had an eye for quality."

Hong Lian had already put on the jadeite earrings. She admired herself in the mirror, feeling a warm and gentle power slowly seeping into her body as she looked at them. She loved this gift even more.

The Ripple Trio completed their mission exceptionally well and received praise from the Wizarding Association, along with a reward. To celebrate, the three of them gathered together.

Ripple calculated that this mission was not a loss. She had eliminated Yu Mei's biggest potential threat. At the opponent's weakest moment, she eradicated the source of evil in its cradle.

After that, ripples lived a leisurely life. When she was bored, she would take on some missions, traveling all over the place. Then she would stay in her seaside villa for a while and get together with old friends.

During that time, she also attended the engagement ceremony of Honglian and Zhangzhang. The two had been flirting for three years and finally confirmed their relationship. Liyin naturally wished them well.

"Red, you opened your bloody maw so quickly, swallowing our poor Officer Zhang whole!"

"Look at you, making me sound like the Big Bad Wolf."

Her red lips curled into a reserved smile.

"Tsk tsk, don't pretend to be so demure. You look awkward no matter how you put it."

"Oh! Aren't these the parents of our little bunny I have to act the part, luckily it's only for a few days. If it goes on any longer, I'll definitely be found out."

Hong Lian smiled falsely.

"You'll be spoken for now, so don't flaunt yourself anymore. We are sorcerers, we have advantages and disadvantages, don't make too many enemies."

A ripple or a whispered reminder to keep your voice down.

"I know, since I've chosen him, naturally I want to live a good life with him."

This time, Hong Lian's answer was sincere.

"Okay, best wishes for your happiness, and take good care of your little rabbit!"

Ripple blinked, then raised her glass to touch it against the crimson wine.

On the other side, Zhang Zhàng was pushed by several cousins to Liàn Yī's side, and introduced the two parties in a very awkward manner.

Ripples glanced at several men who were extremely eager to perform, and she knew their intentions. She smiled and said:

"Xiao Zhang, congratulations! I'm so glad I made it to your engagement ceremony. I'm leaving for a trip overseas the day after tomorrow and won't be back for a while. I'm afraid I'll miss your wedding."

"It's okay, Red Lianjie and I know you're busy. We already received the gift, thank you!"

Zhang Zhang's gratitude was sincere. During that near-fatal mission, he was the only one unharmed because of the Jade Guanyin amulet. The other colleagues who participated in the operation, including Brother Wu Yong, were all on sick leave for a while and it took them a long time to recover physically. This was thanks to the efforts of the Association of Wizards, who helped cleanse them of the evil energy. Otherwise, they would have been bedridden for at least a year.t need additional bodyguards. They're familiar with France, so I think it should be fine."After doing her homework, Lian Yi left Huaguo with her entourage and boarded a direct flight to France.The rip...
