"Swoosh!"
Luo Yu, accompanied by two women, flew through the sky.
The shrunken Domain of the Flame Emperor blocked turbulent air currents while concealing their auras, one to avoid detection by ferocious beasts during flight, the other naturally to prevent officials from Danan Province from discovering his sudden arrival.
Danan Province, situated within Great Xia, was known as the belly of the Nine Provinces, a hub for ten provinces.
The core area of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou civilizations.
Now, the entire province was under the jurisdiction of the Cao Family.
But Luo Yu did not intend to alert the Cao Family. The ancient tomb where Zhen Fu'er appeared contained great dangers, surely also great opportunities and secrets. If the Cao Family were aware, they would not let him enjoy it alone.
Of course, the main reason was that the tomb he was going to plunder, no, protectively excavate, might very well be the ancestral tomb of the Cao Family; that required even more stealth.
"Ding! The Unscrupulous Map is navigating for you, turn left in three hundred meters, Yangcheng is still twenty-eight li away."
The personified female voice came from Luo Yu's phone.
No help for it, having flown from Da Chuan Province, neither Zhen Fu'er nor Bai Xiao'e knew the way, and he had to rely on navigation.
Zhen Fu'er's red lips parted:
"Times have changed, ancient people could only rely on maps to recognize directions, hence there were many lost travelers; today, however, it's so convenient."
Bai Xiao'e, on the other hand, was concerned with another matter: "Brother Luo Yu, your strength is seriously too abnormal, still at Third Grade, yet this speed of travel, even a First-grade Strong Person cannot match."
Is this called fast?
Luo Yu pondered inwardly; he had only absorbed the Great Saint Divine Abilities Vajra Indestructible and Eyes that Break Delusion. Abilities such as Riding Clouds and Fog hadn't been absorbed yet.
If he could learn them smoothly, a somersault could take him a hundred thousand li; that would be fast. Now, travelling over a thousand kilometers took nearly an hour; too slow.
"We've arrived at Yangcheng, do you two recognize the way now?"
Bai Xiao'e nodded and spoke: "Yes, about a hundred li south of Yangcheng is where the ancient tomb is located."
"Swoosh!"
Luo Yu suddenly accelerated. Along the way, they encountered several ferocious birds, each several meters in size, but they all merely brushed past them.
The ferocious birds could only sense the airflow, unable to detect his figure, helpless.
"Stomp!"
The three landed, arriving at a desolate wilderness, surrounded by a group of Black Panthers with bony spikes on their backs. One of the panthers had bony spikes burning with purple flames, its aura comparable to a Second Grade Martial Artist, clearly the leader of this pack of ferocious beasts.
The Black Panthers were tearing into a large ferocious beast resembling a deer, the scent of blood pervading the area, obviously unaware of the three unexpected guests arriving.
Bai Xiao'e exclaimed: "Brother Luo Yu, your control of the Domain is simply divine, we're standing right in front of the panther pack, and they haven't detected us?"
Luo Yu shook his head, "Just a little trick of using the Domain to bend light, if this Second Rank Leopard King were to activate its Domain, it would detect us instantly."
He turned to Zhen Fu'er and wondered, "There are only a few small hills here, and the spiritual energy isn't special, are you sure this is the place, Miss Zhen?"
Zhen Fu'er said: "This place needs some tricks to open, but I'm afraid it will alarm the surrounding ferocious beasts."
Luo Yu smiled.
"That's of no concern, merely a bunch of savage brutes, easily wiped out with one hand."
He deliberately revealed their presence, and the Black Panther pack instantly discovered the three, baring their teeth and emitting fierce roars.
The massive Leopard King, with bony spikes, had blood-thirsty colors flash across its beastly pupils, as if saying, 'Just what sort of humans with such guts come to invade its territory in the wild, courting death.'
"Boom!"
The Leopard King's body erupted with purple flames that quickly spread across several li, the fierce flames burning fiercely, harming none of the panthers, but aiming towards Luo Yu and the others.
Luo Yu shook his head, his eyes gleaming, and in an instant, the Domain of the Flame Emperor descended, golden flames like those of a supreme fire, suppressing all purple flames; each strand of golden flame landing on the ferocious panthers turned them to ash before they could even let out a painful cry.
"Roar..."
The massive Leopard King's pupils constricted, revealing a look of utter fear. It had never imagined that the three humans who suddenly appeared would be so terrifying.
In a panic, it attempted to flee, giving up any thought of resisting.
"Having come all this way, there's no need to leave."
But no matter how fast it was, it couldn't outpace Luo Yu's Domain. Golden flames landed on its body, life not extinguished, flames not put out.
The Second Rank Leopard King was refined in the blink of an eye.
When Luo Yu withdrew the Domain of the Flame Emperor, only piles of ashes remained around them.
"Young Master Yu's strength is indeed reliable," Zhen Fu'er chuckled from the side, feeling that she hadn't chosen the wrong person for this expedition.
"Even Qin Qi could be squashed like a bug, dealing with mere ferocious beasts is naturally a piece of cake," Bai Xiao'e spoke with ease, feeling a full sense of security, as if there was no danger to be afraid of anymore.
Zhen Fu'er wasted no time, as Luo Yu cleared out the surrounding ferocious beasts, her five slender fingers, like mutton-fat white jade, began forming seals.
The seals resembled an intricate and complex ancient character, emitting a faint glow.
"Go!"
Zhen Fu'er commanded softly, and the ancient character fell to the ground.
"Rumble!"
The ground shook, dust Tiny Droplets jumped, and a deep passage quickly appeared in front of Luo Yu and the others, an unknown destination beckoning.
A musty, ancient breath rushed towards them, carrying a chill.
"I may have embarrassed myself, Luo Gongzi, but through this passage, we can enter the great tomb."
Luo Yu marveled secretly, this ancient tomb indeed held secrets.
Before Zhen Fu'er cast the seal, despite using his Eyes that Break Delusion, he had detected nothing; the ground around them was indistinguishable from ordinary soil, showing no abnormalities.
