"This Ancient Insect Emperor Garment really is amazing. Thank you for the gift, Brother Xiao Yan. I love it."
"I'm glad you like it."
Just then, Xiao Xuan gave a soft cough and walked over. "The others have reached the entrance to the third layer, but they've run into trouble. They encountered an energy storm in the Heavenly Tomb."
Xun'er looked worried. "Brother Xiao Yan, even a Peak Dou Zun can't withstand an energy storm in the Heavenly Tomb. Let's go help the Gu Clan members."
"Of course." Xiao Yan nodded, then turned to Xiao Xuan. "Ancestor, Sister Yu, could one of you send us over? Xun'er and I can collect some energy cores while we're out there."
"All right."
In moments, Xiao Yan and Xun'er arrived at the passage between the second and third layers.
Bound by the rules of the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Xuan could only use his power on the Third Layer of the Heavenly Tomb. He could leave his tomb residence only once every ten years.
Otherwise, Xiao Yan would not have needed to rescue the Gu Clan members. As for Li Wan'er, she did not know them and could not be bothered to intervene.
When Xiao Yan reached the passage, he told Xun'er to wait and immediately set to work.
He soon opened the passage. The others were still trying to find a way through when it suddenly opened and Xiao Yan stepped out, leaving them stunned.
They had not expected Xiao Yan to reach the third layer before them, much less open the passage for them at such a critical moment.
"Hurry, follow me," Xiao Yan urged. "The passage will close again soon."
No one dared delay. They all followed Xiao Yan into the third layer.
The two Hun Clan members were no exception.
