Chapter 102: The Entrance of the Grave

  As Chen Yuxin and a few others slowly approached the direction of the mountain valley entrance, the two young men guarding outside also heard the gunfire inside.

  The moment they heard the gunshot, both of them changed their faces and showed a hint of horror, somewhat unbelievable, but dared not to move rashly.

  Both of them were skilled marksmen and naturally not outsiders like Ning Yuan. From the sound of the gun alone, they could tell what type of gun had fired earlier and whether it was one of their own people who had pulled the trigger.

  They had just exchanged blows with Chen Yuxin and a few others, so they could naturally tell that the gunshot just now was from the handguns of several police officers, not their own people.

  Moreover, the police gunfire rang out, only four short shots, and then the valley was silent, without any return fire from their own people. This almost suggests that the two people who climbed up along the mountain ridge were already dead, otherwise it would be impossible not to have counterattacked.

  Both of them were shocked and disbelieving in their hearts. They had fought with several police officers before, but they didn't find each other particularly formidable, even during the day when several police officers couldn't possibly kill any one of them with just two shots, let alone now when the surroundings were shrouded in thick fog, and it was impossible for either of them to hit the other with a single shot based solely on sound.

  "No. 6, No. 3 and No. 4 should have been killed already, we two must be careful, although I don't know what reason caused the death of those two, but these several policemen can't be underestimated." one young man said to another.

  "Ah, don't worry, as long as we hold the valley, they shouldn't be able to get out. This valley isn't that easy to climb." Another person said in a low voice.

  "No matter what, these few police officers can't be let go, especially that female officer, she may have already discovered the entrance to the tomb chamber, she must be eliminated." The first youth who spoke said.

  "I also know that we must get rid of them, the problem is that these few police officers have been missing for too long in this place, it will definitely attract the attention of the police station, and it's very likely that the supporting police are already on their way here. We must end this quickly, can't delay any longer."

  "Some of them were shot and need urgent medical attention, they shouldn't dare to stay inside for too long. These police don't have the kind of courage we do, to watch their own people die right next to them, don't worry."

  After a brief exchange between the two, they fell silent again, quietly listening to the sounds in the valley.

  Bang!

  Suddenly something flew out of the valley and hit a rock near the two men.

  The two of them were shocked and subconsciously moved their bodies forward, wanting to investigate the situation.

  "Seven o'clock direction, ten o'clock direction!" Chen Yuxin's voice rang out.

  "Bang! Bang!" There were several more gunshots. The two people who had just poked their heads out were hit by bullets and let out two muffled groans, falling to the ground.

  Upon hearing these two muffled groans, all the police officers simultaneously let out a sigh of relief. The four men below had already been shot dead; they were finally safe.

  Chen Yuxin's body also went limp, completely leaning against Ning Yuan's side, deeply panting with rough breaths, her face filled with surprise and incredulity.

  Although she was helpless and had to believe in Ningyuan, she didn't expect Ningyuan to be so formidable, with such accurate spatial judgment. The four formidable gunmen didn't even have time to react before they were hit.

  Leaning on Ningyuan's body, Chen Yuxin stretched out her hand and gently pinched the palm of Ningyuan's hand to express gratitude.

  "Rain sister, a few people have been resolved, you just follow the front and go out, I think so long time, the police station should also send someone, you should be able to meet." Ning Yuan whispered in Chen Yu Xin's ear.

  "Then you..." Chen Yuxin said two words and then swallowed the rest of her sentence, knowing that Ningyuan was not possible to be with them, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. This time, Ningyuan had helped them a lot and made great contributions.

  "Rain sister, be careful, don't let anyone know what I've been through, and how to explain the killing of several people, you go by yourself." Ningyuan whispered again to Chen Yuexin, lightly patted twice on Chen Yuexin's shoulder, then quickly retreated backwards.

  Feeling Ningyuan leave, Chen Yuxin couldn't help but feel a little desolate. Taking a deep breath, she instructed: "The bandits have been shot dead, everyone should get close to each other and support each other while walking out. The police station should have sent people over by now, and once we're outside, our phones should also have signal."

  Several police officers, although somewhat exhausted, were now excited and had a sense of relief, supporting each other as they slowly walked out of Tong Garden under Chen Yuxin's leadership.

  Ningyuan had been hiding around Chen Yuxin and a few others, following Chen Yuxin's group to the entrance of Tongyuan Garden, where he faintly heard the sound of police sirens coming from afar, slowly becoming clearer.

  Before long, seven or eight police cars stopped at the entrance of Tongyuan Garden, and a large group of armed police officers jumped out of the cars. The leader was none other than Director Gao of the High District Branch Bureau.

  Director Gao walked towards the Tong Garden and saw Chen Yuxin and several others covered in blood, stumbling out from inside. Their faces were shocked, and while directing people to come forward and assist the injured, he asked Chen Yuxin: "What happened?"

  "We arrived at Tong Garden and encountered four tomb raiding gangs, all of whom were skilled marksmen. After a brief exchange of fire, Captain Wang and two comrades were shot and killed. We managed to retreat into the valley, where we took cover in the thick fog and killed several more people."

  "What? Wang Ming has sacrificed himself?" Director Gao was shocked, finding it hard to believe. It took him a long time to digest the news before he patted Chen Yuxin's shoulder and said: "Little Chen, you go down and rest first. No matter what, you have made great contributions this time. I will reward you when we get back."

  Chen Yuxin and several police officers got on the police car, Director Gao sent people into Tongyuan, took out Wang Ming and the corpses of several thugs, and carefully checked inside Tongyuan before leading the team away.

  After waiting for a group of police to leave, Ningyuan finally walked out of the Tong Garden, facing the Tong Garden, with one hand empty and one stroke, changing into a seal, spiritual consciousness was activated, and the mist in the Tong Garden began to slowly disperse, disappearing in no time.

  Waiting for the thick fog in Tongyuan to dissipate, Ningyuan entered Tongyuan again, carefully examining it while releasing his spiritual awareness to investigate. Based on the movement of the earth's pulse in Tongyuan, he arrived at a dilapidated tomb.

  This tomb looks inconspicuous, and there are no tombstones around it. Judging from the style of the mound, it should be from the Ming Dynasty, but it doesn't look like a grand tomb or a noble's tomb.

  However, Ning stood in front of the tomb and could feel a faint aura of evil emanating from it, clearly indicating that someone had dug a tunnel into the tomb.

  Ningyuan circled around the tomb and soon found the entrance to the passage. The entrance was hidden by weeds, and a simple yin-yang maze was even set up on the side. If Ningyuan himself wasn't well-versed in the secrets of the mystic school, it wouldn't have been easy to discover.

  No wonder the other side dared to make such a big noise and even attacked the police, but was not afraid of being blocked by the police in this area. It turned out that there were indeed people from the mysterious door involved.

  Near the entrance of the tunnel, Ningyuan carefully searched around and suddenly felt a hint of Chen Yuxin's breath. This faint breath had become very weak, probably left two days ago.

  Sensing this thread belonged to Chen Yu Xin, Ning Yuan finally understood why the other party was willing to do whatever it took to kill Chen Yu Xin. It must have been because Chen Yu Xin had coincidentally come to this place two days ago and also happened to be investigating this case, leading the other party to mistakenly believe that Chen Yu Xin might have discovered this entrance. That's why they sent someone to assassinate Chen Yu Xin. Tonight's commotion was probably also intentionally exposed by the other party to lure Chen Yu Xin and his group into a trap.

  "Who!"

  Ningyuan was exploring the entrance of the passage when he suddenly felt a premonition, his body slightly shifted to the side and quickly jumped three meters away. He turned around abruptly and found an old man in his sixties standing less than a meter behind where he had just been investigating.

  As soon as he discovered the old man, Ning Yuan's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat. The other party had quietly approached him within a meter without making a sound, and he only realized it now. If the other party had wanted to kill him or harm him just now, perhaps he would have already fallen into their trap.

  "Haha, good reaction, very perceptive."

  Looking at Ningyuan, the old man was still standing in place without moving, and said with a smile.

  "May I ask for your esteemed name?" Ning Yuan looked at the other party with vigilance, not daring to relax in the slightest. He slightly bowed his head and politely asked.

  "Haha, my name isn't that easy to know, defeat me first and then talk." The old man laughed and said, as he suddenly sprang forward, his palm striking towards Ning Yuan's chest.
