Systemless Villain

Chapter 6: Encounter in the Shadows

"I found you," Long Tian said with a grin.

Without hesitation, he walked into the cave.

Wu Gang, still stupefied, quickly followed Long Tian.

His forehead wrinkled as he spotted a hole that seemed to be a cave.

"Did my punch create this hole?" he asked for confirmation.

"Yes, that was quite a powerful punch," Long Tian nodded.

Hearing this, for some reason, Wu Gang felt more at ease; he couldn't hide his smile.

"Hahaha, so that's how it is. Well, I knew that the cliff was strong enough to withstand my punch," he said, laughing.

Long Tian merely shook his head upon hearing this. His gaze was fixated on the interior of the cave. There was only darkness inside.

"As an elder, you should be walking in front, right?" Long Tian asked.

"Hehe, of course, don't worry, Young Master Long, I will definitely protect you," Wu Gang said confidently.

"Good," Long Tian nodded.

Subsequently, Wu Gang began to step into the cave.

Long Tian followed behind. However, he couldn't conceal his disgust for the pungent smell of the cave.

"Do you think this smell is... a corpse?" he asked while covering his nose.

"I think so," Wu Gang nodded.

As the cave grew darker, Wu Gang raised his hand slightly and fire formed in his palm.

He lifted it higher, revealing a horrifying sight.

It was hundreds of skulls fused with the ancient box-shaped structure ahead.

"Young Master Long, stay behind me. Strange places usually hold strange things too," Wu Gang said earnestly.

Long Tian merely nodded, crossing his arms.

Then, they started entering the building.

As Wu Gang stepped in, the sound of a mechanism suddenly echoed.

Click!

A trap in the form of two large wooden blocks with sharp iron spikes appeared from the left and right.

Wu Gang, with the reflexes of a Nascent Soul realm, immediately used his supernatural power and extended both of his arms.

Bang!

The trap instantly shattered into debris before touching his hands.

He turned around to look at Long Tian, "See? Young Master Long, this is one of the valuable lessons when you join the Wudang Sect, you will be taught about reflexes and how to analyze danger," he said proudly.

As Long Tian was about to respond, a white light suddenly appeared from ahead.

Flash!

It gushed out and hitting Wu Gang's back.

"Arghhhh!" Wu Gang screamed in pain, his eyes suddenly turning completely white.

Long Tian became alert and took a few steps backward. He could even feel the strong radiation.

He didn't really know what was happening. It was not explained in the novel at all. As far as he remembered, Qin Chen just entered this place and the jade glowed.

"Young Master Long, help me!" Wu Gang screamed hysterically, the light was still gushing onto his body and he couldn't move at all.

Long Tian was unsure of what he should do. But he looked forward and realized that the light was coming a statue inside the building.

He suddenly realized something and quickly took out a jade from his pocket. It shone with a glowing golden light.

As he was about to move towards the statue, a hand suddenly touched his shoulder. He turned around and saw a cloaked man.

"That's too dangerous, young master. I sense an anomaly in that statue," the man earnestly said.

Long Tian paused momentarily and the next second, he recognized who it was. It was his strongest bodyguard, Ling Han.

Ling Han glanced at the jade, "I also sense the same in that thing," he added.

"Well, if you don't mind doing it," Long Tian said, handing the jade to Ling Han.

Ling Han instantly understood what Long Tian meant. He took the jade and swiftly moved, appearing in front of the statue in the blink of an eye.

He pointed the jade at the light and the jade immediately absorbed the light. Ling Han felt his hand vibrating severely, as if it would detach from its place. But he held on well. After all, he was a Golden Core realm cultivator, things like this didn't scare him at all.

Meanwhile, Wu Gang was panting heavily, he couldn't hide his relieved expression. That strange light was terrifying, he felt as if his soul was being sucked by the light.

As he looked ahead, he saw Long Tian extending his hand. He held it and stood up.

"Doesn't the Wudang Sect teach its disciples to anticipate things like this?" Long Tian asked jokingly.

Hearing this, Wu Gang became deflated.

Long Tian patted his shoulder, "I was just kidding, Old Wu, don't take it to heart," he said, smiling.

"(Sigh) What happened?" Wu Gang asked.

"That light wanted to steal your soul. Well, more accurately, the statue wanted to steal your soul," Long Tian answered, pointing at the statue.

"But now it's safe because my bodyguard is taking care of it," he added.

Wu Gang looked at the cloaked man, "Is that your bodyguard?" he asked earnestly. He could feel a very strong aura from that man, who was definitely not an ordinary person.

"He looks unusual, he must be very strong, right?" he asked again.

"Yeah, he is a peak-level Golden Core cultivator," Long Tian answered.

"What? Peak Golden Core?!" Wu Gang was shocked.

He was lost for words. A Golden Core was already a rare existence, let alone a peak one... Even the highest leader of the Wudang Sect was a 6th level Golden Core, but the man in front of him was a peak Golden Core.

He didn't doubt Long Tian's words at all because the aura of that man was indeed strong. It was the aura he felt when he met with the highest leader of the Wudang Sect, except, the man in front of him was stronger.

At the same time, he was also amazed and had even more respect for Long Tian. Even his bodyguard was that strong... He couldn't imagine how strong the Long family was.

Meanwhile, Ling Han was still clutching the jade. It was still absorbing the light with great pressure.

But a few seconds later, the light suddenly went out and the jade shone with a very bright golden light.

Everyone including Long Tian and Wu Gang covered their eyes because of the brightness of the light.

After a while, the light faded.

Everyone opened their eyes and in front of them was a beautiful woman dressed in ancient cultivator clothes.
