After that, the Young Master named Arthur snorted and said, "You need to be here before tomorrow. We will start the raid immediately."

"So soon?" Linggu was stumped. Preparations should take a few to several days. What's the rush for?

"The preparations have been made a while ago, so of course we're ready for the raid." Arthur wouldn't want a raid failure after all the resources he spent in this. So he naturally prepared very well.

Not to mention, the raid was against an Era Emperor Tomb of the distant past.

After discussing some things, Linggu and Jin Rou was led into an old room of the mansion. Although the interior was too old, the cleanliness was maintained.

Jin Rou didn't ask about the raid as according to Han Li's memories, raiding tombs here was very popular. In fact, many powers were dying to get their hands on the rights of an Era Emperor Tomb. However, not everyone was lucky aside from the Black Mercenary.

"It seems that they have gotten a stroke of luck to actually find that tomb." Jin Rou speculated. These people had no means of purchasing the rights of a tomb of this level. As a matter of fact, even rights for an Immortal Vajra Tomb would be too difficult for them, much less for an Era Emperor Tomb.

"Their ancestors painstakingly paid a hefty price for that." Linggu said, "I heard that the tomb was kept in the dark by the ancient ancestor of the Black Mercenary."

"How is that possible? Keeping a tomb hidden intentionally is almost impossible unless you have enough resources for it." Jin Rou said. The ancestor must be amazing to actually achieve this.

"It's because of a treasure, as rumors stated." Even Linggu wasn't sure about this, "But as you can deduce, they have indeed successfully hid the tomb. And now, they felt like they are ready to raid it and will immediately go for it."

"That treasure must be heaven defying." Jin Rou said, "I'm looking forward to what the tomb actually looked like inside."

In truth, Han Li had entered many tombs in the past. In fact, he even dared to monopolize an Epoch Saint Tomb for himself! It attracted the anger and ire of the people and tried to kill him. Of course, they failed to do so. Mountains of bones appeared after that grotesque battle.

"But I don't feel well about this for some reason." Linggu lied down on the bed and took a sigh, "There's something wrong but I cannot pinpoint it at this time."

"Everything will come into light tomorrow." Jin Rou said.

"Are you sure you really want to come?" Linggu hesitated but he eventually said, "Era Emperor Tombs are very very dangerous even for me. I'm just a lowly Vajra, I can't protect you there."

For Linggu, Jin Rou was like a kitten to be kept safe. Being a Right Mortal and entering that tomb was a suicide thus he's trying to dissuade him from this.

"I have many treasures to protect me, so don't worry." Jin Rou smiled wryly. It seemed the cultivation he was showing was too weak.

Linggu sighed and didn't say anything else.

Before dawn, the people of Black Mercenary were already in standby in the stone door of a large cave-like structure. It was emitting an imperial aura that could make anyone tremble.

"Amazing." Arthur's eyes glowed. He was too tempted of what's inside the tomb. He gathered over a hundred of the best combatants their group have. Moreover, two elders of their group joined the fray. The two elders had a cultivation of a Eternal Vajra, a realm after Myriad. So, everyone was confident.

After all, Eternal Vajras were limited even in the Southern King Region. This line up along with Linggu was already terrifying enough to deter powerhouses in this town.

"Is everyone ready?" Arthur was wearing a black plate armor made of black alloy. It had the sturdiest defense of all the armors in their treasury, "We will now enter the Era Emperor Tomb. For introductions, this tomb has yet to be mapped. Meaning, we will the first ones to explore it."

Thus, the treasures must be overwhelming.

"Secondly, we have yet to discover whose tomb is this. But as we enter and get the treasures, we will eventually know it. The thing we just knew is it came from a distant past and our ancestor gave his best to keep this away from the masses for our sake. So we cannot disappoint him in any way!"

Cheers and laughter could be heard. They the energized by what Arthur said and their morals were turning high.

"Lastly, we have to thank our fellow brother here who is going to brave the dangers with us to raiding this tomb. Please give a round of applause for Sir Linggu or Rampant Eagle!"

Since it's an order from the Young Master, they clapped their hands though their expressions weren't matching the action.

Linggu laughed awkwardly as he was introduced. Now, he was certain that something was wrong and if ever he put his guard down, he might be killed.

After all, these are all mercenary thugs that live by bullying others.

After the speech, everyone was told to always follow the order and formations planned by Arthur to avoid mishaps. Then, the hundred people opened the stone door and entered the tomb without stopping.

"Blum! Blum!" Then, row of candles by the sides were lit up. The group was closely pack together as Arthur said, "Remember, always be closer to each other. We don't know what will happen so we have to watch each other's backs."

Everyone was serious now. They couldn't afford to joke around or laugh it off knowing they were now inside a tomb of an Era Emperor. The dangers were undetermined yet.

They walked for two hours before reaching a door made of wood. An old and dying wood to be exact. It was like something like a single touch of a hand would turn the old door upside down.
