Chapter 467 The Pass in the Mound
The mound is shaking indeed, which feels like an earthquake.
Gao Ge, Tang Jiusi and Li all stand firm with a frown.
Standing atop, they feel the golden light again. Gao Ge finally finds the energy fluctuation.
He takes a few steps forward and suddenly hears a cacophony of sound.
Gao Ge and Tang Jiusi look each other in the eye.
They are both shocked.
Obviously, it is not that anything wrong is with their hearing.
What sound is it...
Gao Ge closes his eyes to listen carefully.
It sounds like iron chains shaking.
Gao Ge thinks of a scene without rhyme or reason.
The chain of a bike drops and drags on the ground.
Of course, it is only a metaphor. The chain of a bike cannot make such a big noise.
“Gao Ge, don’t you want to jump down and take a look?” Tang Jiusi suddenly asks.
Gao Ge looks at Tang Jiusi with staring eyes.
Tang Jiusi looks helpless.
Gao Ge’s facial expression obviously indicates that—”Wow, you got me.”
As expected, Gao Ge grins, “Brother Tang, since when we have such a tacit understanding?”
“You can’t do that. I have a feeling that it is dangerous down there.” Tang Jiusi says seriously.
He knows when to be serious and when to tell a joke.
Tang Jiusi is very clear-minded about that.
Moreover, he can tell that the Dragon Court thinks highly of Gao Ge. Water Dragon went to Jiangnan City to protect Gao Ge’s parents, which is known to most of the members of East Huaxia branch. As one of the members of the East Huaxia branch, he seldom stays in the base of the Dragon Court, but he has heard of something relevant. That alone can demonstrate how much the Dragon Court values Gao Ge.
Personal feelings are also part of the reason.
However, Water Dragon is also a member of the Dragon Court.
If the seniors of the Dragon Court disagree, how can Water Dragon stay in Jiangnan City all the time?
“Brother Tang, rest assured. I know what I am doing.” Gao Ge says.
Tang Jiusi rolls his eyes at him, “Given what happened in Jiangnan City before, I don’t think so. Don’t you remember how the Ning Family was exterminated?”Access v ip novel
Gao Ge coughs, “Don’t say that. The Ning Family was not exterminated by me.”
“Did it have nothing to do with you?”
Gao Ge shakes his head and says to Tang Jiusi, “Brother Tang, I must go down there for an investigation. If anything untoward happens to me, you just call Lord Fire Dragon immediately and tell him something is wrong here. If nothing special happens, then I’m fine.”
Tang Jiusi still shakes his head.
Gao Ge gets anxious, “Since we are assigned to handle this, the Dragon Court doesn’t wish to see us waiting here without making any effort. If we want to fix the problem, someone must go down there.”
Tang Jiusi grits his teeth and says, “Then let me go down. After all, you are more important than me.”
“I’ll do it...”
“I’ll do it!”
Watching Tang Jiusi and Gao Ge arguing with each other, Li yawns and says, “Stop it. Let me do it. After all, my life is the least important among us three!”
“Enough. Here is a team leader and a special-grade team leader. Why are you stepping forward?” Gao Ge says impatiently.
Li grins. Of course he doesn’t feel angry. He is not silly anyway. Surely, he understands Gao Ge is thinking for his safety.
“Brother Tang, let’s stop arguing. I’ll go down there and you guys wait for me here. If you are really worried about me and I just don’t return soon, you can jump down and die with me after reporting to the Dragon Court!”
Tang Jiusi feels grieved, “Man, can you speak any words of good omen?”
“Rest assured. Brother Tang, I have a feeling that plot armor has me covered.”
Tang Jiusi says angrily, “You are not speaking words of good omen but talking nonsense!”
Gao Ge waves his hand and walks forward for a distance.
Tang Jiusi heaves a sigh, “Since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll go down there with you. It is enough that Li alone is waiting outside. He can contact the seniors of the Dragon Court anyway.”
Gao Ge thinks for a while and nods his head, “Okay.”
Li doesn’t refuse then.
Although he is willing to go down too, he is aware that he cannot help Gao Ge and Tang Jiusi much.
If he really goes down with them, he will do nothing but to hold them back.
In this case, he may as well do what he can do for them—stand guard!
Gao Ge and Tang Jiusi walk together towards the ancient temple, where it is the widest part of the slit. It is about two or three meters wide.
Yet, these two people’s countenances are distinctive.

Gao Ge looks simply confused and curious.
Tang Jiusi appears otherwise.
He strolls with great dignity.
He acts like dying a martyr’s death.
“Brother Tang, how about only me going down?”
Tang Jiusi goes mad and says, “What? Do you think that I get cold feet? Crap! What do I fear?”
Fine.
Good for you!
When they arrive at the slit, they suddenly hear a roar from down there.
It seems like a beast is hidden down there.
Gao Ge is taken aback.
Tang Jiusi is startled and subconsciously takes one step backwards.
Upon catching sight of Gao Ge’s look, Tang Jiusi coughs and defends for himself, “It is a bit windy on the mound.”Updates by vi p novel
Gao Ge grins and doesn’t expose his excuse.
“Are we really going down?”
“Yes, we are.” Gao Ge says with determination.
Tang Jiusi takes a deep breath and starts to climb down.
Gao Ge follows him.
Li is standing outside. He calls the other member of the Dragon Court, briefing him about the situation up here and telling that he will stay here on watch.
Gao Ge and Tang Jiusi are both cultivators, so they climb down very fast with a point of strength.
Tang Jiusi steps on a stone by accident. The stone drops down but no echo is heard after a while.
“Oh crap! What is it? The mound doesn’t look high from outside. Why does it feel like an abyss?”
Gao Ge grins, “We don’t need to climb down to the bottom and we can’t anyway. It is very narrow deep down there. Otherwise, we should have gone through the slit at the foot of the hill instead of going up the mound. We just try our best to climb down so as to see what it is going on down there.”
“How can we see clearly? It’s so dark there!” Tang Jiusi says, “Why don’t we bring a torch... Oh?”
Speaking this, Tang Jiusi stops.
Gao Ge moves faster and climbs to the position where Tang Jiusi is.
“Gao Ge, look! Is there a mountain pass here?” Tang Jiusi raises his head to look at Gao Ge above him and asks.
“A pass in the mound?” Gao Ge is lost in thought and feels very surprised.
