The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1755: Going Up the Mountain to Find Someone

"You’re right, currently all the major families are locked in fierce battles at the front; avoiding the sharp edge is the only way to preserve strength." Ji Qian nodded in agreement.

"We are about to enter one of the ruins next, and perhaps some people are already there. Nightmare, Wang Kai, you are not from Huaxia, do not act rashly, or it may cause misunderstandings." Ji Qian reminded, knowing that Kunlun Mountain is the largest ruin in Huaxia, just as if the families from Huaxia head to the Holy Mountain, they will face attacks from the Main God Temple forces. Moreover, they follow Ji Qian as her "followers", and once exposed, other families will have reasons to act against the Ji Family. Ji Qian understood clearly; although the Ji Family is powerful and usually doesn’t seek enmity, it can’t deny that being prominent attracts attention. The Ji Family might hold no malice, but that doesn’t mean other families won’t come. Several families in Yanjing, including the Chen family and Wang family, are like evil wolves; once they find the Ji family’s fatal weakness, they will surge forward to attack.

Although the four major families in Yanjing maintain a balance, stability is not guaranteed, and it’s not impossible for four to become three, or even two...

"I understand, these treasures don’t belong to us anyway. Unless absolutely necessary, we won’t make a move." Nightmare said.

Ji Tao led the team, bypassing the "battlefield" ahead, to detour into a forest on the left; it’s hard to imagine that there would be ruins here.

"Moon God, doesn’t this place seem unlikely to have ruins?" Wang Kai asked curiously.

"Look ahead and you’ll understand." Ji Qian said lightly. Suddenly, a tunnel appeared directly in front of the forest, leading underground, with a stone monument above it, seemingly a burial site.

"I didn’t expect to really find ruins here."

"Of course, this is Kunlun Mountain, where many great cultivators once retreated for training. After their deaths, they left behind these burial sites. There are many treasures inside; to improve cultivation, a vast amount of cultivation resources such as pills and techniques is needed, and these are all hidden in these ruins." Ji Qian explained.

"The ruin before us should be left by a powerful cultivator."

"Wouldn’t that make us tomb robbers?" Wang Kai retorted.

"You could say that." Ji Qian did not deny it; competition is cruel, and there are only so many resources. If the Ji Family doesn’t go, other families will.

"I’m no tomb robber; I’m not going down." Wang Kai was unwilling to enter the tomb; he considered himself an upright man and didn’t want to do anything unscrupulous.

"Alright, Lord War God, they didn’t ask us to go down." Demoness said coldly, pointing ahead. "Look, even their own people are rushing to get inside; it’s not our turn."

"Being a powerful cultivator’s burial site, it shouldn’t be easy to enter, right?" Soul Destroyer asked curiously.

"Indeed, every time people go in, some never come out. In fact, only a few actually manage to come out." Ji Qian said expressionlessly, her tone flat, knowing well that there will be people dying, yet these tombs are like a delicious meal, attracting countless people to flock in.

Ji Tao had several elders from the family lead dozens into the tunnel, while the rest guarded outside.

An hour later.

"Wang Kai, where are you going?" Ji Qian suddenly called out.

"It’s too stuffy here; I’m going to get some fresh air nearby."

"Nightmare, go with him, don’t let him wander off too far. If he encounters other families, do not engage." Ji Qian instructed.

"Yes, Lord Moon God."

Not far away.

"These people are so boring; they even form groups to rob tombs." Wang Kai lay in a nearby grove, complaining under his breath.

"Lord War God, that’s not right. Didn’t we enter the Holy Mountain for the same reason before?" Nightmare said beside him.

"That’s you guys; I’m different. I’m just here for the thrill and battle. Honestly, I’ve always considered defeating you to be my goal, and that’s why I came to Kunlun."

"What does Lord War God mean?"

"Old Ye’s whereabouts are unknown now, but the Moon God said there are traces of him on Kunlun Mountain, didn’t he?"

"Indeed, when the Netherworld King went missing on the Holy Mountain, it’s been over two months, and everyone assumes he’s dead. But I don’t think so, and neither does Lord Moon God. The Holy Mountain and Kunlun Mountain opened within three months; this can’t be a coincidence."

"Exactly, I don’t believe he’d die. We’ve been through life and death so many times; every time he narrowly escapes." Wang Kai replied. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from a distance, and they looked toward the source to see Demoness hurriedly running over.

"What’s happening?"

"The Ji Family members have come out of the tomb; Lord Moon God wants you to regroup." Demoness explained.

"I didn’t expect them to come out so soon; it’s good though, at least they came out. If they died inside, they’d become the tomb owner’s sacrificial companions."

.................................

At the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

"Finally, I’ve arrived." Ye Shikai sighed, after covering thousands of miles; he’d flown overnight to get here. Unfortunately, he didn’t pack a car in his storage ring, otherwise he wouldn’t have had to rely on his legs.

"Look, there’s another person there." At this moment, a group of people slowly approached from a distance. Seeing Ye Shikai alone, they displayed more curiosity than hostility.

"Ahem, folks, are you here for Kunlun Mountain too?" Ye Shikai didn’t rush to act; he had already exhausted a lot of energy along the way. Most importantly, he didn’t know whether the group before him was friend or foe.

"Young man, which family are you from?" One person asked curiously, "You look quite unfamiliar."

"Family? I don’t belong to any family." Ye Shikai responded.

"No way, Kunlun Mountain ruins have opened, and ’Great Immortals’ from all over are coming. The major families have brought thousands, and even the smaller ones have hundreds at least. You’re brave to come alone."

"Haha, if I wasn’t brave, I wouldn’t have come up here." Ye Shikai laughed lightly, realizing these people were actually concerned for him.

"Young man, you should heed our advice. The mountain is full of experts, many at the Out-of-Body Stage or even higher. Going up alone is a death wish."

"Yeah, and the Kunlun Mountain ruins opened two days ago; the families entering are already halfway through their journey. What’s to be taken has been taken. You won’t get anything going up now."

Despite their advice, Ye Shikai politely refused.

"I appreciate your goodwill, but I’m not going up for treasure; I’m looking for someone." Ye Shikai waved his hand, walking past them.

"Looking for someone... Young man, who are you looking for? Perhaps one of us might know."
