Chapter 2341: Chapter 2342: The Tunneling Duo (First Update)
As soon as the words were spoken, Yue Guannan’s imposing presence deflated like a punctured balloon, rapidly wilting.
Her eyes lost their luster as well.
Nonetheless, sitting on the chair, her spine remained as straight as a sword.
"No need for rest; there are seven days until my brother’s funeral. Undoubtedly, many things will happen during these seven days. Let me guard here, as a way to... send him off on his final journey!" Yue Guannan said in a somber tone.
The second young lady did not persuade her otherwise, just nodded, "Alright!"
Then she turned and knelt again beside the coffin.
After such an ordeal, the people of the Yue Clan became increasingly united.
Although the atmosphere remained heavy and somber, there was now a sharp, unabashed resolve.
Meanwhile, Xue An was also busy.
This was a planet long abandoned and dead.
On the surface, there was nothing but endless gravel.
Yet atop such a worthless planet, a bottomless pit suddenly appeared.
Out of the blue, several storage rings flew up from the pit.
Ao Shu, who was guarding the entrance, immediately caught them, flew to a distant spot, and opened the Seal.
Rumble!
Massive amounts of sand and earth poured out, forming a small mountain on the ground.
Such small mountains already covered most of the wilderness, making it look like a series of burial mounds.
Once Ao Shu emptied the soil from the rings, she returned to the entrance and tossed them back inside.
This monotonous work had been ongoing for several days.
To be honest, Ao Shu was puzzled by what Xue An was doing.
With his strength, if he exerted his full power, he could punch through the planet.
Moreover, his master was involved this time, yet it still took so long, and they were far from finished.
Therefore, Ao Shu was genuinely curious about what Brother An was busy with below.
But she dared not go down because Xue An had clearly instructed her to guard this entrance tightly, forbidding any unauthorized access.
Though desolate, with not even a ghostly shadow in sight, Ao Shu faithfully carried out Xue An’s orders without a hint of slack.
Now let’s shift our view below the entrance; after flying down for a while, you’d be surprised to see that the walls of the pit emit a faint light.
Though faint, these lights securely supported the entire pit, with the billions of tons of sand and stone unable to disrupt them the least bit.
Dive further down several hundred kilometers, arriving at the core location of this planet.
Despite this planet being dead, the temperature here remained extremely high, with sand and rocks pressed into semi-liquid solids radiating a dark red light due to immense pressure and heat.
In this hellish environment, Xue An threw a punch.
With a tremor, the semi-liquid solids shattered into many fragments, which Cha Wenliang quickly collected with a storage ring.
The duo coordinated perfectly throughout the process.
Yet, not a trace of joy appeared on Cha Wenliang’s face.
Who wouldn’t feel gloomy and exasperated when forced to work for days in such a setting?
At least, Cha Wenliang felt this way now.
Because he didn’t really understand what Xue An intended to do.
Having Yue Shifang fake his death could be explained; it was a way to draw out those hiding with sinister intentions.
But then Xue An actually began seeking a burial site for Yue Shifang and ultimately chose this planet.
For Cha Wenliang, what ensued was a nightmare, as Xue An almost tricked and coaxed him into working together.
He jestingly called it creating a tomb for Yue Shifang.
But Cha Wenliang couldn’t comprehend why, if Yue Shifang faked death, he’d need a tomb.
It was at this point that Xue An, after diving farther, suddenly stopped and began marking the walls of the pit.
Such scenarios had occurred multiple times before.
In fact, each time after diving some distance, Xue An would pause to inscribe formations and Talisman Seals on the pit walls.
This Cha Wenliang could barely comprehend; without formation support, the pit would have likely collapsed long ago.
But the complexity of Xue An’s Talisman Spell was evident, with intricate lines so dense they almost made one’s scalp tingle.
Cha Wenliang finally couldn’t hold back, asking, "Xue An, what exactly are you doing?"
"Building a tomb for Yue Shifang!" Xue An’s expression was plainly like, don’t you know?
Cha Wenliang was dumbfounded, "But you told me Yue Shifang was faking his death, so why build a tomb for real? Moreover..."
Cha Wenliang gestured behind him to the now invisible entrance, "Whose tomb would be buried this deep? We’re already near the planet’s core!"
"That’s right, I intend to bury Yue Shifang at the planet’s core." Xue An said lightly.
Cha Wenliang blinked, suddenly stopped his current task, and gazed at Xue An.
"Xue An!"
"Hm?"
"Do you know I’ve been working in this damn place for days?"
"I don’t know!"
"Four days! Four whole days without seeing sunlight, just going insane with you in this dark pit!"
"So, what are you trying to say?" Xue An’s hands didn’t pause, he asked casually.
"I just want to know what exactly you’re doing! If you don’t tell me, well, I’m done with this game, go find someone else!"
With that, Cha Wenliang angrily attempted to walk back.
It was at this moment that Xue An finally finished his task, then smiled, "Don’t be so petty, it’s not like I won’t tell you. You never asked these days!"
Cha Wenliang almost spat out blood.
So, this is my fault?
At this point Xue An rubbed his wrist, gazing at the dark red magma ahead, casually saying, "Actually, what I’m aiming to do is quite simple, namely to fool every existence!"
"Fool every existence?" Cha Wenliang was startled.
"Exactly!" Xue An turned his head, his eyes full of dazzling cold light.
"Not just those from the Yue Clan but also the existence that severely wounded Yue Shifang and has been entangled to this day!"
Cha Wenliang felt he faintly grasped something, but as he tried to grasp it, the feeling slipped away.
Xue An chuckled, "I let Yue Shifang fake his death just as the first step, merely to release a smoke bomb. The Bing Family might believe it, but the existence capable of severely injuring Yue Shifang wouldn’t be easily swayed!"
"And this tomb is the second step. Do you know why I chose such a desolate planet?"
