Chapter 101: The World Inside the Gate of Apocalypse

~8 min read 1,554 words

Ye Lin fell silent instantly.

How should he put it? Even if his wife was really great, was it really appropriate for you to say that in front of her husband?

Ye Lin suddenly felt that Tan Qingjiang truly had a belly large enough to sail a boat (was very magnanimous); even like this, he hadn't killed Guo Qin, only caught him and put him in jail.

And beside Tan Qingjiang, Ye Lin also saw a familiar figure! He recognized at a glance that the other party was the tall, thin man who wanted to kill him in the Investigation Bureau prison back then!

It was just that the tall, thin man clearly didn't recognize him after he put on the Illusion Mask and stood coldly behind Tan Qingjiang.

After Tan Qingjiang and Student Zhuge Qianxing exchanged a few pleasantries, Tan Qingjiang got straight to the point.

"Since Mr. Student Zhuge has already arrived, to avoid long delays, please open the Gate of Apocalypse."

Tan Qingjiang took out a mysterious key. Complex patterns were carved on the key, as if it contained the mysteries of heaven and earth.

"No problem."

Student Zhuge Qianxing smiled slightly and turned back to give Ye Lin and Guo Qin a wink.

Ye Lin and Guo Qin understood immediately and followed. Watching the backs of the three, a hidden killing intent flashed in the depths of Tan Qingjiang's eyes.

"Mr. Student Zhuge, why do I feel a chill down my back?" Guo Qin shivered and said.

"Very normal. Having been tricked by me, Tan Qingjiang can't wait to kill us immediately," Student Zhuge Qianxing smiled faintly.

The Ancient Key of Apocalypse he gave Tan Qingjiang was fake to begin with, so naturally, it couldn't open the Gate of Apocalypse.

And facing Tan Qingjiang's questioning, the explanation Student Zhuge Qianxing gave was that he had set a restriction on the Ancient Key of Apocalypse, and it could only be opened if he himself came in person.

Tan Qingjiang knew that Student Zhuge Qianxing wanted to come to the Gate of Apocalypse to get a share of the spoils, but he could only swallow his pride and accept it.

After all, while no one else knew the Gate of Apocalypse had appeared, they could still seize the initiative. Once the news spread, the Gate of Apocalypse would definitely attract the top batch of powerhouses.

By then, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter the Gate of Apocalypse.

"Mr. Student Zhuge, should we take out the real Ancient Key of Apocalypse?" Ye Lin asked.

"No need, you just need to get close to this gate," Student Zhuge Qianxing shook his head with a smile.

While speaking, the three walked to the stone gate.

Student Zhuge Qianxing walked toward the stone gate, then pretended to press the Ancient Key of Apocalypse against the stone gate and fiddled with it.

At this moment, Ye Lin clearly felt that the Ancient Key of Apocalypse in his stomach seemed to have generated some kind of resonance with the ancient stone gate before his eyes at this moment, and was emitting a faint heat.

And the Gate of Apocalypse before his eyes also seemed to have sensed it. There were no earth-shattering anomalies, nor any dazzling, colorful light; it was just like an ordinary door opening.

Following a low and long mechanical sound, the stone gate opened slowly, revealing a pitch-black passage that was bottomless.

An ancient and mysterious aura rushed toward them from the passage, making people unable to help but feel awe.

Seeing the Gate of Apocalypse, Tan Qingjiang's eyes lit up instantly. Even with his status, he couldn't help but show a flash of surprise and greed in his eyes.

After all, this was the legendary Gate of Apocalypse! The place from which seven Origin Ancient Artifacts had once fallen out!

Even true divine artifacts were not worth mentioning when facing Origin Ancient Artifacts.

It was precisely because of this that such a terrifying war had broken out back then, until the Origin Ancient Artifacts were beaten into collapse, which then ushered in a brief peace.

"Mr. Student Zhuge, the Ancient Key of Apocalypse should be returned to me now, right?" Tan Qingjiang said coldly.

The job-changers following him also revealed dangerous auras. Clearly, if Student Zhuge Qianxing wanted to seize the Ancient Key of Apocalypse, then before entering the Gate of Apocalypse, they would have to break out into a great battle.

"Naturally, the Ancient Key of Apocalypse was Director Tan's thing to begin with."

Student Zhuge Qianxing nodded and handed the fake Ancient Key of Apocalypse to Tan Qingjiang.

"Mr. Student Zhuge is indeed a smart person." After taking back the Ancient Key of Apocalypse, Tan Qingjiang revealed a faint smile.

Just at this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from behind, causing Tan Qingjiang's expression to freeze on his face.

"The Gate of Apocalypse actually exists in this world? It is truly shocking!"

Only to see the President of the Qingcheng Job-Changer Guild, Wang Lichuan, and the Vice President, Chen Kai, leading a batch of job-changers, appearing in the valley.

Tan Qingjiang's expression turned black instantly. Having Student Zhuge Qianxing come to share the spoils was one thing, but how did the guys from the Job-Changer Guild also come?

"Did you call them?" Tan Qingjiang gritted his teeth and questioned Student Zhuge Qianxing.

"Does Director Tan think I, Student Zhuge Qianxing, would do such a stupid thing?" Student Zhuge Qianxing raised an eyebrow and asked back.

At this moment, Student Zhuge Qianxing was also somewhat confused as to why the people from the Job-Changer Guild had received the news.

But soon he thought of something and glanced at Ye Lin intentionally or unintentionally.

From the perspective of motivation, the person most likely to have called the Job-Changer Guild was Ye Lin.

After all, if he wanted to make a move against him, the muddier the water, the more advantageous it would be for him. This kid was truly a little fox. Student Zhuge Qianxing's expression became somewhat unpleasant.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Student Zhuge, Director Tan, what a coincidence! Are you also here to treasure hunt? Why not take me along?" Wang Lichuan laughed loudly.

"President Wang, you haven't put in any effort, yet you want to share the spoils as soon as you arrive. Isn't that quite inappropriate?" Tan Qingjiang said coldly.

"That's true. Then how about this: let the people from our Job-Changer Guild act as the vanguard and scout the path for you. How about that?" Wang Lichuan pondered for a while and said.

Once these words were out, Tan Qingjiang's expression looked a bit better.

They didn't know what dangers were inside the Gate of Apocalypse, so he was naturally happy to let the people from the Job-Changer Guild act as cannon fodder.

Things had reached this point, and he had no better way. After all, now that Wang Lichuan had come, he wouldn't leave empty-handed.

"Since that's the case, then let's do as President Wang says," Tan Qingjiang said, swallowing his pride.

"Hahahaha, many thanks, Director Tan. Director Tan is generous!"

Wang Lichuan laughed extremely happily and led his people toward the inside of the Gate of Apocalypse.

When passing by Ye Lin's side, he cast a glance at Ye Lin but didn't greet Ye Lin.

Ye Lin put on an appearance of knowing nothing and followed calmly behind Wang Lichuan and the others, entering the Gate of Apocalypse.

The pitch-black passage extended toward the depths of the Gate of Apocalypse.

The world behind the gate was not as bizarre and fantastical as Ye Lin had imagined, nor was there any scene of demon monsters everywhere.

On the contrary, the surroundings were extremely silent, with nothing at all, and it was so quiet that one could hear one's own breathing.

After passing through the pitch-black passage, another gate appeared ahead.

This time, a metal gate that could only accommodate one person appeared, with very modern circuit patterns carved on it, flickering with a faint light.

This gate was completely out of place with the surrounding environment, as if it had been forcibly torn over from another world.

"Why is there another gate? Could this be the real Gate of Apocalypse?"

Seeing this gate, Wang Lichuan and the others revealed confused expressions in their eyes.

They turned their heads and looked at Tan Qingjiang, because the Ancient Key of Apocalypse was in Tan Qingjiang's hands.

Tan Qingjiang steadied his mind, then stepped forward and took out the Ancient Key of Apocalypse, pressing it lightly against the gate.

Ye Lin also cooperated very well and walked forward a few steps, looking as if he were simply curious about how the gate opened.

Following a burst of heat in Ye Lin's stomach, the metal gate before his eyes opened with a bang, and a strong light burst forth from behind the gate, instantly illuminating the entire pitch-black passage.

The crowd was stung by this strong light and couldn't open their eyes. Only after adapting for a good while did they open their eyes.

And when they saw the scene behind the metal gate clearly, they were stunned on the spot.

"How could the world behind the Gate of Apocalypse be like this? This is impossible!" ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
