CHAPTER 412: CHAPTER 277 TANG SECT BLACK METEOR!_2

She lowered her hand, her face unharmed, only frowning as she looked at Old Goat Monster, "This is the Black Meteor of the Tang Sect. Are you from the Tang Sect?"

She had read some records about the Tang Sect in the archives from Elder Shi.

Old Goat Monster raised an eyebrow, "Not only are you immensely talented despite your young age, but you’re also well-informed. I must say, I underestimated you."

"But you’re not a legitimate disciple of the Tang Sect," she continued.

These words by Sui Yi caused Old Goat Monster’s expression to darken slightly, "The Tang Sect is mainly the line from the Provincial City’s Tang Family. I somewhat understand their actions and behavior. Based on your activities in Xinjiang over the years, the Tang Sect certainly wouldn’t accept you... So it’s quite likely that you’re a traitor to the Tang Sect, aren’t you?"

After a pause, Sui Yi added, "A Tang Sect traitor in Xinjiang, and Yun Li of the Yun Family, the rival of the Tang Family, has also come to Xinjiang. It would be too much of a coincidence if there were no connection."

"No wonder you guys know our whereabouts like the back of your hand. Maybe even my visit there was arranged by you. Although Zou Xueqin’s company is in Xinjiang, the company’s largest shareholder isn’t him, it’s the Yun Family."

The Yun Family had already carried out their investigations on them, and they had grown accustomed to it, moving in and out without concealment, of course, leaving traces to be discovered. However, it was precisely this kind of habitual thinking that made them easily overlook their opponents.

It seems Yun Li might not be able to restrain the Yun Family after all.

With an inward sigh, Sui Yi thought that next time they met...she would have to cripple that Yun Li for good.

"You’ve investigated him?"

"His enthusiasm is too excessive; it’s not normal for someone to be so eager," Sui Yi’s reply made many of the men present couldn’t help but inwardly ridicule—sister, you’re beautiful, okay? With such a temperament, it’s difficult for men not to be interested in you. It’s not that others are overly enthusiastic, it’s you who attracts them!

But indeed, Zou Xueqin was a bit strange; at least Gong Jiu, Flower Demon, and others didn’t have much fondness for him.

It just wasn’t expected that this guy, along with Anayi, Old Goat Monster, and even the Yun Family, were all in the same damn group.

The play is indeed ridiculously comical!

Only...

"This old man is very dangerous!" Gong Jiu frowned, "The Tang Sect’s hidden weapons are not easy to deal with."

Especially the explosive ones.

Didn’t you see that Sui Yi got hurt just from the first encounter?

"Heh, just like the Yun Family said, you’re tough to handle, no wonder you’re so bold, to have crippled Yun Li... but I don’t believe their claims that your strength is unfathomable... you’re just so-so," Old Goat Monster remarked.

Old Goat Monster may admire Sui Yi’s talents at a young age but did not believe she could defeat him, especially...

"Especially since you can see through all of this, yet still be unable to prevent some things from happening, like..."

Suddenly, Ye Changan felt a gun pressed against his waist.

"Zhang Zhi, you!"

Zhang Zhi, a tall and burly man, the most cheerful and sunny person in the archaeological team, habitually took special care of Ye Changan and was vigorously pursuing her. He had also previously commented on Sui Yi by the Black Water River.

Such an ordinary student engaged in archaeology was now holding Ye Changan at gunpoint.

Before Xiao Yu and others could point their guns at him, he said, "Don’t move, or I can’t guarantee I won’t shoot through Changan’s legs first."

"You!"

"Oh my, no wonder this kid stubbornly refused to stay in a safe place with the rest of the archaeological team. Turns out he’s the traitor..."

Zhang Zhi, tall and strong, with physical strength that may even surpass some soldiers, plus his good reputation, was why everyone allowed him to come along, yet...

"I say Yueh Xiangnan, you said we have a traitor here, looks like your side is no better," Brother Ma and Han Gao did not mince words as they teased.

The expressions on Yueh Xiangnan and others were ugly; they never imagined that they could have been deceived by a traitor for so long... The most devastated was undoubtedly Professor Ye.

—This was a student he had once highly valued, even trying to matchmake him with his own granddaughter.

Suddenly, he looked at Ye Changan, but saw not a hint of surprise or sadness on her face, and his heart settled; good, his daughter was smarter and more insightful than him.

"Alright, Ah Zhi, come out now, and bring along our Professor Ye’s most important granddaughter... Professor Ye, you should consider solving this ancient mystery and opening up this palace sealed for who knows how many years, to let me see what treasures are inside."

Old Goat Monster acted like a masterful conductor, controlling the rhythm of a concert, with every rise and fall under his command.

—Including Sui Yi, who was no match for him with a single move.

The situation was more tense than ever.

Yet Sui Yi and the others couldn’t afford any effort because Professor Ye had already given in.

"Fine, I will solve it," he agreed.

Gong Jiu and the others could only feel helpless, but they were also curious about what mysteries this place held that could grant the Ancient City such strange powers, preserving the dead without decay for a thousand years...

Professor Ye got up from the ground and paced around the white stone Heavenly Plate below, gesticulating with his hands...

It looked quite strange, Gong Jiu even irreverently thought, is he performing some sort of spirit-summoning dance?

But Sui Yi knew that he was measuring angles and lengths, because that bare white stone Heavenly Plate was actually a diagram, the same one drawn on the map she held in her hands, indiscernible at this location.

Professor Ye soon took action. He walked to the southeast and called out to Old Goat Monster, "I need seven people over here to help me press down this piece. I’m not strong enough for it."

"Press? Interesting, go on over," Old Goat Monster commanded.

Seven of Old Goat Monster’s men immediately came over and, following the instructions, knelt at seven positions, pressing their hands down at specific spots on the ground. (To be continued.
