Chapter 101: The World Inside the Gate of Apocalypse

Ye Lin fell silent at once.

How should one put it? Even if his wife is truly amazing, is it really appropriate to say that right in front of her husband?

Ye Lin suddenly felt that Tan Qingjiang truly had a belly large enough to sail a boat in; even after all this, he hadn't actually killed Guo Qin, merely locked him up in prison.

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 had tried to kill him in the Investigation Bureau's prison!

It was just that the tall, thin man clearly did not recognize him after he had put on the Illusion Mask, and he stood guard behind Tan Qingjiang with a cold face.

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

"Since Mr. Zhuge has already arrived, to avoid any complications, please open the Gate of Apocalypse."

Tan Qingjiang took out a mysterious key; the key was engraved with complex patterns, as if it contained the mysteries of heaven and earth.

"No problem."

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 along; watching the backs of the three, a flash of hidden murderous intent crossed Tan Qingjiang's eyes.

"Mr. Zhuge, why do I feel a chill down my back?" Guo Qin said with a shiver.

"It's normal; having been played by me, Tan Qingjiang is dying to kill us right now." Zhuge Qianxing smiled faintly.

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

And when faced with Tan Qingjiang's questioning, the explanation Zhuge Qianxing gave was that he had placed a restriction on the Ancient Key of Apocalypse, and only he himself could open the Gate of Apocalypse.

Tan Qingjiang knew that Zhuge Qianxing wanted to come to the Gate of Apocalypse to get a share of the spoils, but he could only grit his teeth 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 absolutely attract the most top-tier powerhouses.

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

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

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

As they spoke, the three walked to the stone gate.

Zhuge Qianxing walked toward the stone gate, then put on a show of pressing the Ancient Key of Apocalypse against the stone gate, fiddling with it.

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

And the Gate of Apocalypse before them seemed to have sensed it too; there were no earth-shattering phenomena, nor any dazzling rays of light, just like an ordinary door opening.

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

An ancient and mysterious aura rushed out from the passage, making one 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 hint of surprise and greed in his eyes.

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

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

It was precisely because of this that such a terrifying war had broken out back then, lasting until the Ancient Origin Artifacts themselves were shattered, which finally brought about a brief peace.

"Mr. Zhuge, it's time to return the Ancient Key of Apocalypse to me." Tan Qingjiang said coldly.

The class-changers following behind him also revealed a dangerous aura; clearly, if Zhuge Qianxing wanted to seize the Ancient Key of Apocalypse, they would have to break out into a great battle before entering the Gate of Apocalypse.

"Naturally, the Ancient Key of Apocalypse was Bureau Chief Tan's item to begin with."

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

"Mr. Zhuge is indeed a smart man." 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, it actually exists in this world? It is truly shocking!"

It was Wang Lichuan, the president of the Qingcheng Class-Changer Guild, and the vice-president Chen Kai, who had appeared in the valley leading a group of class-changers.

Tan Qingjiang's face turned black at once; having Zhuge Qianxing come to get a share was one thing, but how did the guys from the Class-Changer Guild come too?

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

"Does Bureau Chief Tan think I, Zhuge Qianxing, would do such a foolish thing?" Zhuge Qianxing raised an eyebrow and retorted.

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

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

Judging from the motive, the person most likely to have called the Class-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 really was a little fox, and Zhuge Qianxing's expression became somewhat unpleasant.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Zhuge, Bureau Chief Tan, what a coincidence! Are you here to hunt for treasure too? Why not take me along with you?" Wang Lichuan laughed heartily.

"President Wang, you haven't put in any effort, yet you want a share the moment you arrive; isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Tan Qingjiang said coldly.

"That's true. How about this: our Class-Changer Guild will act as the vanguard and scout the path for you, how about that?" Wang Lichuan pondered for a moment and said.

Once these words were spoken, Tan Qingjiang's expression looked a little better.

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

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

"Since that's the case, let's do as President Wang says." Tan Qingjiang said, gritting his teeth.

"Hahahaha, thank you, Bureau Chief Tan! Bureau Chief 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, he cast a glance at Ye Lin but did not greet him.

Ye Lin put on an act of knowing nothing, calmly following behind Wang Lichuan and the others into 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 as Ye Lin had imagined, nor were there any scenes of monsters everywhere.

On the contrary, the surroundings were extremely silent, with nothing at all; it was so quiet that one could even hear their own breathing.

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

This time, it was a metal gate that could only accommodate one person passing through, with very modern circuit patterns engraved 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 all revealed expressions of doubt 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 himself, then stepped forward and took out the Ancient Key of Apocalypse, pressing it lightly against the gate.

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

Accompanied by a burning sensation in Ye Lin's stomach, the metal gate before them opened with a boom, and a strong light burst out from behind the gate, instantly illuminating the entire pitch-black passage.

Everyone was blinded by this intense light and could not open their eyes; it was only after adapting for quite a while that they opened 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!"
