Celestial Peak 319 Tomb Raider

"My successor, stand down, he is far stronger than the one you have outsmarted. This one is reeking trouble, let him go and…"

"I know, I still need to recover from my injuries, but I need to milk this situation and earn something so calm down." Wang Ling took in a deep breath and then turned to the one called Pesa, "I don't know you guys and you attacked me without reason, he tried to kill me and I am returning the favor by trying to kill him and I don't care what happens to me outside, this place is locked from the outside so no one will be able to touch me."

Pesa looked at Wang Ling's eyes and then laughed, "You are quite interesting so I must warn you that boy's family is also in here a part of them at least. They are with him and they number at over a hundred, look around you, how many do you think is pointing their swords at you?"

"Counting the ones in the shadows there are 13 in total." Wang Ling answered as if it was a matter of fact and his astute observation caused Pesa to be taken aback.

"That's right, there are 13 men here and all of them are on the same level as this boy here — they may even be stronger than him as they are meant to be his bodyguards, so, how about it? Do you still wish to kill him?"

Wang Ling was silent for a while and a sly smile blossomed as he answered, "Quite frankly that is scary but I can't go empty-handed here, how about letting me know why you have this one attack me? I don't think I have offended anyone since I entered this place."

Pesa's eyes turned to slits as he found his words rather irritating, "That man over there is named Lyka, he is a member of the prominent family Kinho, I ordered him to teach you a lesson about picking your enemies. You attacked my men three years ago, the Ravaging Beast Guild, does that ring a bell?"

[So, it was them. Hmm, it seems like they found me? Hmmm, there you are, it seems like someone from that day is here.] after surveying the surrounding Wang Ling saw a familiar face. That face was from three years ago and as Wang Ling turned to him that fellow hid behind the crowd to hind from Wang Ling's observing eyes.

"A coward pointed me so it seems. But that doesn't mean you can poison me and try to kill me, is there now? Also, he poisoned me, should I poison this one before I give him back?" Wang Ling looked at Pesa once again and then intently glared at him with a penetrating gaze.

Pesa kept his smile, "I suppose so, but do not blame him, I was the one who gave him the poison-laced sword so I am the one who poisoned you. Your words must pertain to your intention on wanting to get the antidote, correct?"

Pesa brought out a vial from his storage ring and passed it to Wang Ling, "That should clear out the weapon in your body, now, let him go or I will make you do so."

Wang Ling saw the intent in the eyes of Pesa and with a sigh, Wang Ling decided to take his Heaven's Will and reduced it to a five-kilogram sword before throwing Lyka towards Pesa. Wang Ling stood up from the ground stared at Pesa for a few seconds before getting under the tree a few meters away.

He did not go and hide as Wang Ling needed to secure his position. If someone else thinks of attacking him while he is injured, then that bastard will have to think twice as they are in the open. Humiliation will only follow for attacking someone already injured in broad daylight.

Wang Ling sat on the side and in most circumstances, other people would have approached him to be invited in their respective Guild. But right now, no one dared to step forward and invite Wang Ling to their group.

Pesa, a name that strikes fear in the hearts of many. A ruthless poison user who will do anything to get revenge if he was to get humiliated. He may seem like a handsome gentleman but that façade had already been seen through years ago.

Many tried to extend their hands towards Wang Ling but the presence of Pesa made them think twice. Wang Ling already expected it, although he didn't want to admit it, he had actually brought upon trouble to himself this time.

[Renhuo mentioned about avoiding him and some other people as they are troublesome to deal with. The Ravaging Beast Guild a guild second only to the Holy Deities Guild, a troublesome existence alright. But he is not the leader of the Ravaging Beast Guild so there is a chance for them choosing not to act like idiots? No, it is not likely.]

Wang Ling sighed and then instead focused on curing the poison on his right arm rather than worry over other matters. He did not consume the antidote and instead had Suzhen purify his body from the poison.

Suzhen is a flame capable of purifying anything so this poison will be purified one way or the other, [This poison is rather sticky, Suzhen, how long before you can purify it?]

"Twelve hours, Father," Suzhen answered from within Wang Ling's body and Wang Ling nodded his head as he added a few instructions to heal his internal body while Suzhen was at it. He can't rely on the Angelic Qi so Wang Ling chose to use the Chaos Qi to heal his body.

Quite frankly, the Chaos Qi's effect is stronger than the Angelic Qi, but using Chaos Qi to heal his body is taxing so he does not prefer it. Wang Ling was recovering at a fast rat on the inside and outside but no one knew that.

The people present only to see Wang Ling's severe injury that had stopped bleeding and thought he will not be able to participate in the raiding of the tomb.

They righted him off as someone who will not become a contender for the treasures and legacy that lays within this the tomb.

And then, just like that two days passed and the barrier gradually lost its shine. The people who gathered around the tomb began to feel the excitement. They could not wait for the barrier to go away.

And as seconds remained, Wang Ling got ready and got up. No one paid attention to him and soon the barrier collapsed a tide of people entered the tomb. Wang Ling rode the tide of people while avoiding the eyes of the people who wants to make him suffer.

And so, a healthy Dragon had entered a treasure cove as a wounded snake. How long will his deception take him? Wang Ling does not know.
