Chapter 45: Chapter 45: What Exactly Is He After?

Celestial Eye Mountain.

This was originally a barren large mountain, but a few days ago it suddenly collapsed, revealing an ancient underground relic.

From the marks on the relic periphery, it was speculated to be a stone cave mansion left by a powerful being of the Communication Realm.

After this relic was revealed, the entrance was covered by a layer of array light curtain, which was gradually weakening with time.

This made it impossible for the first arrivals to enter, so more and more people gathered outside the relic.

A mixed crowd.

There were direct descendants of the Nirvana Clan, geniuses from major sects, as well as independent martial artists who risked their lives.

Different people formed different circles, and among them, one circle was particularly striking.

Within this circle, there was a girl dressed in a golden silk long skirt, her features were elegant, with an air of subtle nobility about her.

Beside her, young talents from notable backgrounds were talking boastfully and even showing excessive courtesy, yet she remained calm throughout.

"Is that Commandery Princess Chu Yun?"

Among the crowd, Qin Zi silently observed the girl who was the center of attention, as the conversation with his father before the trip echoed in his mind:

"Xiao Zi, before you leave, there’s something your father wants to discuss with you."

"Father, please go ahead."

"Remember the old friend I went to pay respects to earlier? I heard his granddaughter is also heading to the relic at Celestial Eye Mountain. If that young girl encounters danger inside the relic, I hope you’ll help if you can."

"Uh, Father, aren’t you worried I might encounter danger?"

"Haha, I’m well aware of your survival skills, and besides, with your master around, what’s there to worry about?"

"Alright... What’s the identity of your old friend’s granddaughter, and what’s her name?"

"Prince Nan’s Mansion, Commandery Princess Chu Yun!"

It took Qin Zi a long time to return from his thoughts, he rubbed his temples, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

The girl opposite, surrounded by young elites like the stars around the moon, was so hard to even approach and greet.

And right now, if he tried to make a connection, he might be seen as a toad lusting after a swan, looked down upon by others.

So, he decided not to go over.

Just continue to watch silently like this.

"Pa!"

Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder, and turning around, he saw a handsome young man in blue jokingly looking at him.

"Stop staring, it’s just a woman. Some women seem glamorous, but once stripped... it’s nothing special."

Qin Zi glanced around and whispered, "Senior Brother Zhao, aren’t you afraid someone might hear you saying that?"

The young man in the blue robe laughed indifferently, nonchalantly saying, "So what if someone hears? Who dares to do anything to me?"

Qin Zi’s mouth twitched at these words.

Indeed, it was true.

The person in front of him, named Zhao Yunsheng, was the only son of the Sect Leader Zhao Panlong of the Seven Martial Sect and also the sect’s number one prodigy!

With such a status, as long as he doesn’t publicly insult the royal ancestors, he can say anything without issues.

"Senior Brother Zhao, even so, we still need to maintain the image of our Seven Martial Sect, and you will inherit the position of Sect Leader in the future."

A young man beside them spoke.

This young man named Wu Cen was also the grandson of an elder from the Seven Martial Sect and one of its Honored Disciples.

Honored Disciples are above the core disciples; with strength at least in the Pure Yang Realm, they must also have background.

"Haha, what sect leader position, don’t say that. Who can inherit the position of sect leader in the future depends on strength."

Zhao Yunsheng laughed modestly, but his posture was visibly prouder, showing he was in a good mood.

He had regarded the position of sect leader as something in the bag long ago, and this was also his father’s expectation of him.

Now, the leaders of the sect favored him, and so did the disciples, making it a natural public expectation.

This filled his heart with ambition, eager to ascend the sect leader’s throne immediately and lead the sect to glory.

Such feeling even gave him a sense of affection for his fellow junior disciples, treating them with kindness.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a sound rang out as the blue light curtain at the relic entrance flickered a few times and then collapsed.

"Haha, it’s finally open!"

"Let’s go!"

"Junior Sister, I’m going in."

"Senior Brother, slow down."

"The treasure is mine!"

Suddenly, those who were already impatient grew excited and quickly rushed towards the dark entrance of the relic.

"Let’s go too."

Zhao Yunsheng said with a smile.

"You go ahead, I’ll join you shortly."

Qin Zi said dismissively as he looked at Commandery Princess Chu Yun’s direction.

Since he promised his father to protect Commandery Princess Chu Yun, he naturally had to keep her under surveillance at all times, not letting her leave his sight.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Yunsheng followed Qin Zi’s gaze and then showed a meaningful smile: "Junior Brother Qin Zi, though women are beautiful, there’s no need to stare at them all the time."

"I’m... it’s not what you think, actually I..." Qin Zi’s face flushed with embarrassment, not knowing how to explain.

"I understand, I fully understand."

He raised his brows to Qin Zi with a supportive tone: "Actually, we are in no rush. Waiting a bit longer is not a problem."

Qin Zi’s mouth twitched slightly, knowing that the other had misunderstood, but such things were indeed hard to explain clearly.

So, he had to silently bear the misunderstanding.

Fortunately, Commandery Princess Chu Yun didn’t linger, and once she verified that there were no problems ahead, she too led her people into the relic.

And Qin Zi along with his two companions quietly followed her.

Zhao Yunsheng had gone to great lengths to win over Qin Zi, and the tagging-along Wu Cen naturally dared not oppose it.

Among the people entering in single file.

A few young men of unremarkable appearances exchanged glances silently, a hint of viciousness flashing in their eyes.

Upon closer inspection, there was a faint, silver-white pattern resembling grains of sand on their necks.

Dark Sand!

This was the most powerful assassin organization in the Nine Sun Dynasty, and they had received a mission to assassinate Commandery Princess Chu Yun of Prince Nan’s Mansion!

Originally, an organization like Dark Sand rarely bothered to provoke forces like Prince Nan’s Mansion, not accepting such tasks.

But this mission was peculiar.

Just for show?

Hunt for a day?

No need to actually kill?

This made the mission low risk and low difficulty, making easy money without effort.

So, they took the task!

However, they couldn’t fathom.

Why the mysterious employer would do this, hiring assassins but not to kill, what was his aim?

Could it be that he simply had too much money to waste?

Unable to figure it out and then decided not to think about it anymore, the Dark Sand organization never asked for reasons nor bothered with morality, they simply took money to solve problems!

Time gradually slipped away.

Within the relic, various dangers began to surface, and as opportunities arose, people started to fight.

"Ah! There’s a snake, it crawled in!"

"Boom!"

"Ah, my kidney!"

"Monkey stealing peaches!"

"Despicable!"

For a time, the scene was chaotic.

The owner of the relic, having been a powerhouse of the Communication Realm, naturally had a substantial wealth. Even a Jade Night Pot was enough to trigger a scramble among many, rumored to have a strong scent of wine inside...

But those were among individuals of no significance. Truly influential forces’ prodigies disdained to compete for such things.

Like Qin Zi and his companions, as Honored Disciples of the Seven Martial Sect, they naturally looked down on ordinary items.

Qin Zi constantly kept a subtle watch on Commandery Princess Chu Yun, ready to rush over at any sign of danger to her.

Not as a hero saving a beauty,

But because his father had entrusted him with a task, and he couldn’t disappoint his father—he must complete the task perfectly!

Compared to this, the so-called opportunities in a Communication Realm powerhouse’s relic held little allure for him.

He had been focusing on studying Array Dao lately, and had it not been for his father urging him to go out, he wouldn’t even have set foot on the mountain.
