This time, he headed straight for Yang Dingtian's tomb.

The journey took another full 4 hours.

The traps had evolved from simple ones involving water, fire, poison, and sand to intricate compound traps, chain traps, and plant traps. Various malicious designs kept emerging.

With the collaboration of Lin Qing and Bayonet, they managed to solve countless complex traps.

Some of the more complicated large-scale traps even required the help of KG and others to solve together.

Lin Qing was surprised by the difficulty of the plot.

If it were just him, he would never have made it this far.

Bayonet and the others were also exhausted.

Finally, Li Meilin could no longer walk, and the team took a 10-minute break.

"Kid!" Hook grabbed Lin Qing by the collar and shouted fiercely, "You've been leading us around all day. Do you even know where Yang Dingtian's tomb is? Are you playing with us?"

Lin Qing turned to look.

Even Gang Laoda and Bayonet were growing impatient, their gazes cold.

"I think he probably doesn't know the location of Yang Dingtian's tomb," KG said maliciously, "We should kill this troublemaker early."

"Kill him!" Gang Laoda finally spoke, "Kill that woman!"

Flip-flop dragged Li Meilin away, grinning wickedly as he raised his machete.

Lin Qing knew that these ruthless people had lost their patience! They were about to kill to establish their authority!

"Stop!" Lin Qing said calmly, "Otherwise, you will never get Yang Dingtian's inheritance!"

"What do you mean?" Gang Laoda stopped Flip-flop.

"I mean, Yang Dingtian and Lady Yang's tomb is right here," Lin Qing said coolly.

"What are you saying?" KG's breathing quickened, "Why are you so sure?"

"Because I am very sure," Lin Qing said without explanation, "I will let you get Yang Dingtian's inheritance, but you promised not to kill us afterward. Otherwise, I would rather die than submit."

The Hong Bang members exchanged glances, sneering.

"Very well! Where exactly is it?"

Lin Qing pointed to a rock crevice nearby, "Right there!"

He pointed directly to the location of Yang Dingtian's tomb!

What is known as feinting and deception.

Lin Qing didn't play any tricks but pointed directly to the real tomb.

On the way, he had considered using other tombs they encountered to deceive the Hong Bang team into their deaths, but he quickly rejected the idea.

Because these criminals would order him to go first. If it was a fake tomb, they would kill him; if it was real, they would still kill him.

He decided to directly claim the location of Yang Dingtian's tomb.

KG and Gang Laoda looked at each other.

Could they trust Lin Qing?

No way.

The more certain Lin Qing sounded, the more they believed it was a trap.

Additionally, if the Hong Bang team was united, they could send someone to follow Lin Qing and the others into the tomb.

But now, the two factions were wary of each other, fearing sudden attacks. Who should go? Should both factions send people, or just one?

After all, the map to the hidden location would drop when someone was killed!

These two invaluable maps were the most valuable items on this trip.

Gang Laoda and KG exchanged wary glances.

"Send Bayonet and Flip-flop to follow this guy down?" KG suggested.

Gang Laoda sneered.

Bayonet was his only confidant. If Bayonet went down, he would be alone facing KG, Iron Rod, Hook, and Doctor—four people!

No matter how confident he was, he couldn't be sure he could defeat these four.

"Bayonet doesn't need to go down," Gang Laoda said, "Just send two people from your side."

KG frowned.

He had finally created a 5-to-2 situation, forcing the leader to submit, but Doctor wasn't on his side and could change at any moment. If he sent two people, the remaining two couldn't suppress the powerful combination of Gang Laoda and Bayonet.

"Bayonet is an expert in traps, he must go down!" KG sneered.

"I have an idea," Hook said with a grin, "Leave the two women with us, and send two people to escort this guy down. If it's really Yang Dingtian's tomb, complete the hidden quest inside. If not, let this guy be buried with it!"

The two factions argued endlessly about who should go and who should stay.

Lin Qing said, "Since you don't believe this is Yang Dingtian's tomb, why not let the three of us go down? If it's not, we will surely die inside. If it is, where can we escape to? We will have to come out, and the things inside will eventually fall into your hands."

This made everyone in the Hong Bang nod.

Everyone's attention was on the internal conflict, fearing betrayal. This kid was just a newcomer, and no one really believed he found the entrance to Yang Dingtian's tomb on his first try.

KG's eyes were filled with schadenfreude.

Without a word, Lin Qing walked up, took Li Meilin and Yan Ran by the hand, and strode toward the crevice.

The crevice was inscribed with the character "忧" (worry).

Li Meilin and Yan Ran were pale with fear.

They received a spatial prompt, knowing that entering the wrong tomb meant certain death.

Lin Qing was indeed impressive, but could he be so lucky to find the real Yang Dingtian's tomb just by looking at a map and choosing a few paths?

Yan Ran couldn't help but call out, "Hey, can you really do it?"

Lin Qing stopped.

Li Meilin looked at Lin Qing.

She resolutely walked toward the crevice.

Yan Ran was surprised and followed, "Mom, do you really trust this guy?"

Under the watchful eyes of the Hong Bang, Li Meilin nodded resolutely, "Yes. If I have to choose, I would rather entrust my life to Lin Qing!"

She took Yan Ran's hand, "Let's go together!"

Yan Ran gritted her teeth, looked at Lin Qing, and stomped her foot, "I don't know what you did to make my mom trust you so much. Fine, I'll take a chance. But if you're wrong, I won't let you off even in death."

She pouted and walked toward the crevice.

Lin Qing strode forward.

Just as he was about to step up.

A cold scalpel suddenly pressed against his neck.

It was the Surgeon!

The Surgeon said coldly, "Others don't trust you, but I do!"

He turned to Gang Laoda and KG, "If this entrance is really Yang Dingtian's secret passage and can only be entered once, we will just have to watch. Right?"

Everyone thought about it and realized he was right.

The Surgeon said, "I'll go down with them."

KG and Gang Laoda exchanged glances.

The Surgeon was always neutral and didn't belong to either faction. His departure wouldn't weaken anyone's strength.

Having him outside wouldn't count as a strength, just a variable.

Better to let him go in.

KG and Gang Laoda nodded simultaneously.

The Surgeon used the scalpel to force Lin Qing to go inside.

He leaned close to Lin Qing's ear and cackled, "They are so stupid, aren't they?"

Lin Qing stiffened, "I don't understand what you're saying."

The Surgeon cackled, "Only I know you've really found Yang Dingtian's tomb."

A chill ran through Lin Qing's heart.

The Surgeon sneered, "Others don't pay attention to you, thinking you're just a cannon fodder. But I know you once raised your reputation in the six major sects to [Famous in the Martial World]. Even the Bat King said he was tricked by you, and Yin Yewang died at your hands. How could an ordinary person achieve this?"

Lin Qing smiled but said nothing.

At this point, since the Surgeon had seen through it and hadn't told anyone else, Lin Qing knew the Surgeon had his own agenda.

This Hong Bang team, worthy of being Red Flower elites, each had their own plans. But everyone had their own selfish motives.

What did the Surgeon want?

The Surgeon said coolly, "Go in honestly, don't play any tricks. I have a gun hidden in my hand, ready to take your life at any moment."

Lin Qing nodded and stepped onto the stone slab with the Surgeon.

A dull sound.

The stone slab activated.

KG, Gang Laoda, and the others watched as the Surgeon escorted Lin Qing and the others into a hidden door.

The hidden door closed immediately.

A hint of regret flashed through Gang Laoda's mind.

The Surgeon was extremely smart. Since he chose to bet on it, he should have gone in too.

If this secret passage really led to Yang Dingtian's tomb, wouldn't all their efforts be for others?

He could only pray that the tomb was wrong.

The Surgeon and the others would never come out.

Lin Qing was forced into the dark tomb by the Surgeon.

The Surgeon was prepared and threw a torch to Yan Ran, "Light it! Walk in front."

Yan Ran lit the torch.

When the light entered the dark tomb, everyone was stunned.

In the center of the tomb was a stone platform.

A withered corpse sat cross-legged on the platform, and another woman's corpse knelt in front of him, a sharp dagger piercing her chest.

Yang Dingtian! Lady Yang!

No doubt about it!

A faint blue light flashed on the Surgeon's thick glasses.

Lin Qing immediately sensed something was wrong, but it was too late!

The Surgeon viciously pulled the trigger aimed at Lin Qing's heart.

A loud bang, and Lin Qing fell to the ground.

The Surgeon coldly pulled out a smoking gun from his sleeve and fired two more shots into Lin Qing's back, making Lin Qing's body convulse before finally stopping.
